From the outset, Fartun invested her time and energy in me, and in just a few lessons I was making real tangible progress. She structured our time to make sure I had a good grammatical foundation before going on to the next lesson. Fair warning: she demands a lot — that I practice, I read, I watch Arabic shows and memorise all of the vocabularies from the previous lesson. She’s tough, but it shows she cares, and her approach has helped me improve much faster than before. My comprehension has improved dramatically, my vocabulary is growing like a weed, and my speaking ability is really coming along. Fartun has provided a great return on investment.
