Words from the students who’ve lived it — Grades 8 and 9 at GCSE, with teaching built around the exam.
“Excellent Arabic A-Level Classes! I recently completed my Arabic A-Level with the help of my amazing teacher, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the very beginning, she was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. Her teaching methods were clear and effective, making complex topics easier to understand. She provided personalised feedback and always encouraged me to strive for the best. Thanks to her dedication and excellent guidance, I was able to achieve an A grade! I highly recommend her classes to anyone looking to excel in Arabic. If you’re serious about mastering the language, this is the teacher you need!”
“Helped me get an A* in Arabic A level. I studied with Ms. Hoda for about four months and I had a good experience. She was quite busy with many students which meant that there were scheduling issues in the beginning, but we worked out a system so she would mark a set number of essays and give suggestions for improvement every week, which she did. I am not a native Arabic speaker, but I attained an A* in the international Edexcel A level with Ms Hoda's help. She not only pointed out grammatical errors in my writing but also made suggestions for fancy expressions I could memorise and use in the exam. She also knows the syllabus really well, so I could ask her any questions, especially about the set books. That was especially useful, as it is difficult to find a teacher who really understands the syllabus I am doing.”
“I studied A level Arabic with Ms Hoda in the short span of a year. Ms Hoda is a great teacher she is resilient, optimistic, and resourceful. With her help I obtained an A grade and secured a place to study at King’s College London.”
“Arabic A level review. It is with great satisfaction that I recommend Taalamlc, especially Mrs Hoda (an Arabic A level tutor) . My A* in Arabic A level (AQA) and my admission into the University of Cambridge, can be largely attributed to her relentless commitment in ensuring that her students achieve the best grades they possibly can. Moreover, Mrs Hoda has always been punctual in her timings and has regularly made herself available for out of lesson contact/questions. She is very friendly and organised. Her, lessons are rigorous in nature and ensure that the student has a consolidated understanding of the content and exam techniques (which are vitally important for A levels, epically to achieve an A*).”
