Abla

I am a native speaker of both French and Arabic and grew up between the UK and France. French: my entire education up until the Baccalaureate was in French - I graduated with an average of 18/20. I have a BA from the Sorbonne and have worked as a translator (including literary translation) and interpreter from and into French. I`m also a journalist and have specialised in a number of fields, including media and politics, economics, the environment, and film and culture.
Arabic: I have a Syrian and Lebanese background, and spoke Arabic (Levantine) at home. I was taught to read and write at school and revisited my grammar via a SOAS language proficiency course. I work in Arabic and translate and interpret from Arabic.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: My teaching experience spans one-to-one, small groups and class rooms. I have taught French, English and Arabic to professionals looking to change careers and work in foreign countries. I was asked to offer cultural awareness and careers consultancy as part of those sessions. I have worked through language institutes in France and in England. I have taught classrooms of visiting Chinese students both English and French.
