I worked with Melanie on developing an Arabic cultural module for Khallina and I was impressed with her professionalism and excellent organizational skills. If your goals are high sensitive, Melanie is your go-to person.

My instructor is one of the best. I wanted to quit foreign languages because of a very negative experience last year, but decided to at least give Arabic a try before junior year. I couldn’t have been more happier with my choice, the instructor is very clear and has helped me learn a lot. I am learning more than I ever imagined, thanks to strategic teaching and a non-monotonous instructor.

Shukraan Melanie,
