Book a lesson with Ms. Pike!! you won’t regret it! Thank you Ms. Pike! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I have been learning Lebanese arabic and Spanish with Genecah and she has been so kind, encouraging, and helpful throughout the whole process! I would really recommend her services if you are a beginner and wanting to learn about both language and culture!
Wonderful teacher. The experience has been excellent from day 1. I am learning a lot of things at the same time. Learning Lebanese Arabic is just a piece of cake with my teacher!!! They made pronunciation very easy for American speakers. My teacher speaks many languages too! I am moving to the next level soon. I strongly recommend the program to those eager and in a rush to learn.
I studied Lebanese Levantine Arabic and French with Ms. Pike, and she’s absolutely amazing! She’s incredibly patient and attentive, and I truly appreciate how her courses are focused on helping me speak conversationally rather than just memorizing bookish grammar. If you’re looking for a colloquial Lebanese Arabic and French teacher, she’s the one! You won’t regret it, she’s truly a breath of fresh air. Highly recommend!
I had the pleasure of taking Spanish and English lessons from Ms. Pike, and I can honestly say she is an exceptional teacher. I've rarely encountered someone so gentle, compassionate, and intelligent. Her kindness is truly out of this world, believe me when I say that. Mashallah, she is remarkably talented and well-educated. She is incredibly underrated, and if there were an option for 10 stars, I would gladly give her 100! Studying with her is an experience you won't regret. Additionally, she speaks Lebanese and Syrian Arabic fluently and is well-versed in various Arab dialects, including Algerian and Tunisian accents too and as an Arabic speaker myself, I'm very impressed. Her linguistic versatility is just so impressive. I highly recommend Ms. Pike to anyone seeking a dedicated, kind, and highly skilled instructor. You will be in excellent hands!
