About Me

I love what I do, I Advocated my self for teaching Arabic and Islam. When any Arabic learner reaches the point where he/she can use Arabic, I feel like I create something special they won't forget.

Teaching for me is like practicing YOGA. I feel relaxed after the class especially when the student gets all the information and applied it through speaking.

Most of the Arabic learners love Arabic as do I - even if they don't, we always find our way :)-
they give huge efforts when they see my efforts in teaching so they want to challenge themselves.

Learning a foreign language becomes one of the important things to communicate. The Arabic Language Nowadays is required in many international jobs. I have designed this course to reach you wherever you are so you can learn Arabic at your home with me - an Arabic teacher- from my home also. Through the classes, I focus on your purpose of learning Arabic. Whether you want to learn the local or standard language. I taught almost all kinds of students. Academics, diplomats, and kids. I have experience in one-to-one or group classes. During the class, I prefer to use Powerpoint to help the student feels that the online class is close enough to in-person classes. In my class, you will learn how to understand Arabic outside the class and without any help from me or any Arab. Generally, learning needs two parts to be achieved. So I can't do any progress if you did not help me. Apprendre une langue étrangère devient l'une des choses les plus importantes à communiquer. La langue arabe est aujourd'hui requise dans de nombreux emplois internationaux. J'ai conçu ce cours pour vous atteindre où que vous soyez afin que vous puissiez apprendre l'arabe chez vous avec moi - un professeur d'arabe - depuis chez moi aussi. À travers les cours, je me concentre sur votre objectif d'apprendre l'arabe. Que vous souhaitiez apprendre la langue locale ou standard. J'ai enseigné à presque tous les types d'étudiants. Universitaires, diplomates et enfants. J'ai de l'expérience en cours particuliers ou en groupe. Pendant le cours, je préfère utiliser Powerpoint pour aider l'étudiant à sentir que le cours en ligne est suffisamment proche des cours en personne. Dans mon cours, vous apprendrez à comprendre l'arabe en dehors du cours et sans aucune aide de ma part ou d'un Arabe. Généralement, l'apprentissage nécessite deux parties pour être réalisé. Je ne peux donc pas progresser si vous ne m'aidez pas. Das Erlernen einer Fremdsprache wird zu einem der wichtigsten Kommunikationsmittel. Die arabische Sprache wird heutzutage in vielen internationalen Jobs benötigt. Ich habe diesen Kurs so konzipiert, dass er Sie überall erreichen kann, damit Sie mit mir - einer Arabischlehrerin - auch von zu Hause aus Arabisch bei sich zu Hause lernen können. Während des Unterrichts konzentriere ich mich auf Ihren Zweck, Arabisch zu lernen. Egal, ob Sie die Landes- oder Standardsprache lernen möchten. Ich habe fast alle Arten von Schülern unterrichtet. Akademiker, Diplomaten und Kinder. Ich habe Erfahrung im Einzel- oder Gruppenunterricht. Während des Unterrichts ziehe ich es vor, Powerpoint zu verwenden, um dem Schüler das Gefühl zu geben, dass der Online-Unterricht dem Präsenzunterricht nahe genug kommt. In meinem Unterricht lernst du, Arabisch außerhalb des Unterrichts und ohne Hilfe von mir oder einem Araber zu verstehen. Im Allgemeinen erfordert das Lernen zwei Teile, um erreicht zu werden. Ich kann also keine Fortschritte erzielen, wenn Sie mir nicht geholfen haben. Yabancı bir dil öğrenmek, iletişim kurmak için en önemli şeylerden biri haline gelir. Arapça Dili Günümüzde birçok uluslararası işte gereklidir. Bu kursu, nerede olursanız olun size ulaşmak için tasarladım, böylece siz de Arapça öğretmenim olan benimle, benim evimden Arapça öğrenebilirsiniz. Dersler boyunca, Arapça öğrenme amacınıza odaklanıyorum. İster yerel dili, ister standart dili öğrenmek isteyin. Hemen hemen her türden öğrenciye ders verdim. Akademisyenler, diplomatlar ve çocuklar. Birebir veya grup derslerinde tecrübem var. Ders sırasında, öğrencinin çevrimiçi dersin yüz yüze derslere yeterince yakın olduğunu hissetmesine yardımcı olmak için Powerpoint kullanmayı tercih ederim. Benim sınıfımda Arapça'yı ders dışında ve benden ya da herhangi bir Arap'tan yardım almadan anlamayı öğreneceksiniz. Genel olarak, öğrenmenin başarılması için iki bölüme ihtiyacı vardır. Yani bana yardım etmezsen herhangi bir ilerleme kaydedemem. Het leren van een vreemde taal wordt een van de belangrijkste dingen om te communiceren. De Arabische taal is tegenwoordig vereist in veel internationale banen. Ik heb deze cursus ontworpen om je te bereiken waar je ook bent, zodat je Arabisch bij jou thuis kunt leren met mij - een Arabische leraar - ook vanuit mijn huis. Tijdens de lessen concentreer ik me op jouw doel om Arabisch te leren. Of je nu de lokale of standaardtaal wilt leren. Ik gaf les aan bijna alle soorten studenten. Academici, diplomaten en kinderen. Ik heb ervaring met individuele lessen of groepslessen. Tijdens de les gebruik ik bij voorkeur Powerpoint om de student het gevoel te geven dat de online les dicht genoeg bij persoonlijke lessen ligt. In mijn les leer je hoe je Arabisch begrijpt buiten de les en zonder enige hulp van mij of een Arabier. Over het algemeen heeft leren twee delen nodig om bereikt te worden. Dus ik kan geen vooruitgang boeken als je me niet helpt.
This class is about to learn Islam step by step. Learning in the class will be from the Quran and the Sunnah. Islam is not a complicated religion. It's simple and logical. During the class, we can discuss issues that raise questions in our minds about Islam without any limits. you can talk freely and express your opinions and feelings toward any thought. I am here to help you to understand not to judge you.

Erhan
Spiritual Healing & Religious Studies & Metaphysics
Hi, my name is Erhan. Welcome to this brief yet profound introduction to Spiritual Healing lessons with Master Erhan. I am a published writer with books in both English and Turkish, focusing on spirituality and mysticism, since 2016. I have been dedicated to guiding people on their spiritual journeys, helping them heal, and illuminating the light within their lives. I believe that touching hearts is one of the most profound ways to bring transformation. There is a hidden connection from heart to heart—one that many are unaware of. In life, we sometimes find ourselves trapped in a cycle of confusion, unable to see a way forward. Breaking free from that cycle is key, and I am here to help you navigate your path toward clarity and healing. In-depth Spiritual Healing Lessons : A Journey Within We will take the first step in getting to know one another as Master and Student. This will be a space of openness, trust, and connection. I believe that transformation begins with the heart—when we truly connect, healing and growth follow. My purpose is to help you break free from the cycles that hold you back, guiding you toward clarity, healing, and spiritual awakening. How I Can Support You : If you are seeking insight and guidance in any of the following areas, I am here to assist you : Mysticism – Understanding deeper spiritual truths and esoteric wisdom. Spirituality – Cultivating inner peace, purpose, and divine connection. Metaphysics – Exploring the unseen dimensions of existence. Energetic & Spiritual Healing – Identifying and addressing imbalances that MANIFEST as unseen or unheard ailments. Divine Connection – Strengthening your relationship with God and the Source. Relationship Consultations – Healing emotional wounds from past experiences that still affect you today. Many of life’s challenges stem from metaphysical causes that often go unnoticed. You may feel a persistent heaviness—spiritually, emotionally, or psychologically--without knowing how to find relief. During this introductory lesson, we will take a more in-depth look at your spiritual well-being, uncover hidden blockages, and begin identifying the healing you may need. This is the first step toward restoring balance and wholeness. You Are Not Alone! Your journey is yours to walk, but you do not have to walk it alone. I am here to guide and support you—every step of the way. Wishing you light and clarity, Master Erhan

Numa
Spiritual Teachings & Meditative Dialogues with Numa
I’m Numa, and I offer meditative dialogues to help you reconnect with the Self within. Together, we’ll create a space for stillness and presence, allowing clarity, peace, and authenticity to naturally emerge. This journey is about uncovering the wisdom and peace already within you, one breath at a time. My life’s work is rooted in exploring the depths of the Self, inspired by sages like Krishnamurti, Eckhart Tolle, and Ramana Maharshi. My journey, driven by curiosity and the search for meaning, has revealed profound insights into what it means to be human and the limitless possibilities beyond the status quo. Figures such as Ramana Maharshi, Neem Karoli Baba, and Eckhart Tolle invite us to rediscover the stillness within, guiding us toward clarity and peace. Buddhist wisdom, embodied in the teachings of the Dalai Lama and centuries-old practices, reminds us of the impermanence of life and the power of mindfulness. These teachings illuminate the infinite paths to self-realization. Each represents a facet of the same truth: the journey inward is the most profound journey of all.

Learn how to Practice Mindfulness Through Poetry and Prose
In today’s fast-paced world, finding peace can feel like a challenge. "Mindfulness Through Poetry and Prose" offers a unique approach to inner calm by combining the soothing power of language with practical mindfulness techniques. In this class, I combine the art of literature with mindfulness practices, creating a peaceful space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. Through carefully chosen poems and excerpts, you’ll explore themes like gratitude, acceptance, and self-compassion. Each session includes guided mindfulness exercises, reflective writing prompts, and group discussions that foster personal growth and emotional well-being. This class is perfect for anyone looking to: Relieve stress and find inner calm. Develop self-awareness and emotional resilience. Engage with poetry and prose in a thoughtful, meaningful way. Express themselves through reflective writing and discussion. No prior experience in poetry or mindfulness is required—just an open mind and a willingness to explore with a yogi and literature graduate.
