Samuel
Calculus Tutor • +27 Subjects
I am passionate about education and helping each of my students to reach their full potential. I also have prior experience teaching students of a variety of ages both in the classroom and on a one-on-one basis. I completed my undergraduate degree in Middle Eastern Studies at Columbia University in May 2015. During the course of my studies, I taught English as a second language to Palestinian refugees in southern Lebanon, where I led an intermediate English class and a creative writing course. In both classes, I had students from a wide range of ages, from the early primary through the late secondary stages of their education. After graduating in 2015, I taught a course on Anglo-American poetry to students from grades 6-12 at the Vasant Valley School in New Delhi, India. At Vasant Valley, I taught over a hundred students about the fundamental components of English-language poetry and introduced them to select poems from several British and American poetic movements. I also helped students strengthen their writing skills through imitation writing exercises. Additionally, I tutored several students outside of class both at Vasant Valley and in southern Lebanon. Through these experiences, I learned to share my passion for learning and intellectual growth with all of the students I worked with.

Frequently Asked Questions
Arabic verb conjugation is notoriously complex because verbs change based on subject, gender, tense, and mood—often with root letter changes that don't follow predictable patterns. A tutor breaks this down systematically, teaching you to recognize root patterns (like the three-letter triliteral system) and practice conjugations in context rather than memorizing isolated tables. This approach builds intuition for how verbs work across different situations, making conjugation feel logical instead of arbitrary.
MSA is the formal written standard used in media, literature, and official communication, while dialects (Egyptian, Levantine, Gulf, etc.) are what native speakers use daily. A tutor helps you choose based on your goals—MSA if you need formal proficiency or plan to study Arabic literature, or a specific dialect if you're learning for travel or connecting with a particular community. Many students benefit from learning MSA as a foundation, then adding conversational dialect skills with a tutor who understands both systems.
In a classroom, you might speak for just a few minutes per class; with a tutor, you get sustained conversation practice tailored to your level and interests. A tutor can correct your pronunciation, grammar, and word choice in real-time, model natural speech patterns, and adjust difficulty on the fly—creating a safe space to make mistakes and build confidence. This consistent, personalized speaking practice is essential for developing fluency and accent awareness, especially since Arabic pronunciation includes sounds unfamiliar to English speakers.
Arabic vocabulary is challenging because words often have multiple related forms (noun, verb, adjective) derived from the same root, plus formal vs. colloquial versions. A tutor teaches you to learn words in context and by root family rather than isolated lists, so you understand how forms connect. They also use spaced repetition and retrieval practice—reviewing vocabulary across multiple lessons and in conversation—which research shows dramatically improves long-term retention compared to cramming.
Arabic script connects letters differently depending on position in a word, and vowel marks (diacritics) are often omitted in everyday writing, making reading and writing both tricky. A tutor teaches you to recognize letter forms in context, builds muscle memory through guided writing practice, and helps you understand when diacritics matter (like in formal texts or when ambiguity could arise). They also explain grammar rules like agreement and word order as they apply to written Arabic, bridging the gap between reading comprehension and actual writing.
Arabic is deeply tied to Islamic history, literature, poetry, and diverse regional cultures—understanding these contexts makes language learning richer and more meaningful. A tutor can weave cultural elements into lessons: discussing classical poetry to illustrate grammar, explaining idioms rooted in Arab traditions, or exploring media and current events in Arabic. This immersion-style approach not only makes learning more engaging but also helps you understand why native speakers express ideas certain ways, accelerating both comprehension and natural speech patterns.
Arabic listening is hard because native speech is fast, pronunciation varies by dialect, and formal Arabic sounds quite different from spoken versions. A tutor exposes you to authentic audio at controlled speeds, teaches you to recognize common patterns and contractions, and explains regional pronunciation differences. They also practice active listening strategies with you—like identifying key words before full comprehension—building your ear gradually so you can eventually follow natural conversations and media without translation.
Arabic grammar has formal rules (especially in MSA) that don't always match how natives actually speak, which can confuse learners. A skilled tutor teaches you the rules as a foundation, then shows you how native speakers bend or simplify them in real conversation—explaining the difference between textbook Arabic and living Arabic. This dual approach prevents you from sounding overly formal or robotic, while still giving you the grammatical framework to understand written texts and construct your own sentences correctly.
