"Hi, I'm Andy. I spent over four years studying Arabic at a major university and within that time took an intensive advanced Arabic program at the University of Jordan. In addition I've worked and lived in the middle east on multiple occasions being utilized as a primary and secondary interpreter on various projects. I loved the time I spent learning Arabic and developing our program but my passion is teaching!

My programs differ from the status quo. As a non native speaker I understand all to well the nuances and frustrations of learning Arabic. It is considered one of the hardest languages to learn. This is one reason I developed my current programs. We throw away messy grammar and instead put our focus into speaking and having conversations within the first minutes. Instead of taking weeks or months to learn bits and pieces of conversations our students begin to learn immediately. Each scenario is taken from my personal experiences in traveling throughout the Middle East and having thousands of conversations.

Our students learn the equivalent of a semester's worth of Arabic conversation in 4.5 hours or less of instruction and self study. There is no faster way to learn to communicate in Arabic. In addition, we introduce culture, customs and problem solving seamlessly into our program so our students can participate in conversations and solve problems when speaking. We also introduce Levantine Arabic in our scenarios so our students know some dialect.

I also specialize teaching English to Arabic speakers!

I look forward to working with you soon!" less...
