As a student of Arabic at a well known university I often felt that our classes took quite a passive approach to learning. This is something I feel is broken from the first lesson in UK Arabic Language Institute. My teacher Fartun has a distinctive ability to make one feel at ease in her presence very quickly. This is important for language learning as it allows you to feel you are developing yourself in a non pressurised environment which in my opinion can be the biggest stumbling block in language acquisition. Any self conscience tendencies dissipate very quickly with Fartun and she effortlessly installs a new and invigorating sense of confidence in her student. She is very skilled socially and is a natural communicator, this helps to ensure that the learning process becomes as seamless as possible. I would recommend her to all and to this day miss my lessons with her.
