Background:

Nayla was born and raised in Lebanon until she was 17 years old. In Lebanon she did her primary studies at an international school where she completed her Baccalaureat I and II in Arabic Literature. After that she immigrated with her family to Canada, where she completed her university degree at McGill university in Montreal, Quebec. At McGill she discovered her love for teaching while tutoring students in Information Technology as a Teacher Assistant. During her working years in Canada Nayla met her Dutch husband, and moved with him to Amsterdam. She has now been living in Amsterdam for 6 years and can fluently speak and write Dutch (she followed the Dutch courses at Regina Coeli, and Joke Smit College).

Why learn Arabic with us?

Her mother tongue being Lebanese, combined with her natural talent in languages (she is fluent in spoken and written Arabic, English, French and Dutch) and her deep understanding and appreciation of the arabic culture and different dialects, allows Nayla to be a natural choice for people interested in learning the Arabic language. Moreover the classes are very small: 3-6 persons and very personal, interactive, and practical.
