"I am a native Arab tutor and a professional interpreter. My native language is Arabic, I speak the Levantine dialect as I was born and grew up in Damascus, Syria. I teach Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), and the Levantine dialects ( Syrian, Lebanese, Jordanian, and Palestinian). I have a B.A degree in Public Administration from the American University of Beirut and an MBA from Webster University (USA). My A.U.B transcript reflects taking nine classes in advanced Arabic language, heritage, grammar, poetry, linguistics and literature. Also, I have practical experience using the standard Arabic language as I worked as translator and interpreter for almost 3 years for the United Nations in Damascus, Syria where I interpreted in classical Arabic and in Levantine dialect. In addition, I provided cultural explanations to international consultants and researchers to understand the Arab culture in general and the Syrian culture in particular.

I know I will be a great educator due to my well-rounded Arabic education, background and excellent job experience. I have experience in teaching as I taught while I was working for the United Nations. In addition, I have been teaching the Arabic Language for college adults since 2003. I am passionate about teaching and enabling students to gain knowledge. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss how my skills and experiences can meet your needs.

Sincerely,

Roula" less...
