WHAT IS THE ADVANCED PRIVATE TUTORING PROGRAM?
Qasid’s Online Private Tutoring (OPT) enables you to get personalized, one-on-one instruction with Qasid’s faculty without leaving the comfort of home.
EXPERT FACULTY
Whether MSA, Classical, Arabic for Diplomats, or Conversational Arabic, get access to one of our expert faculty members that have a deep, specialist’s focus that will attend to your learning goals.
PRIVATE 1-ON-1 SESSIONS
You get one 50 minute live session per week with your instructor. A collaborative communications platform is used to facilitate interactions between you and your instructor, providing clear audio transmission as well as intuitive, on-screen writing capabilities.
QASID CURRICULUM
New and current students—as well as alumni looking to build upon their intensive studies at our institute in Amman can move either faster or slower through Qasid’s 900 hour core curriculum.
EASE OF SCHEDULING
You no longer have to worry about trying to fit your schedule into a Qasid-determined once-per-week group time.With 1-1 sessions, your instructor will have multiple times for you to choose from, and you select one that works for you. This radically simplifies timing, and helps to increase the odds that you’ll be able to make each and every live session.
MORE TIME FOR YOU
A session with 10 other students means that you need to “share” the instructor’s attention and time. When it is just you, 100% of that time is yours. The benefits increase exponentially.
FULL ATTENTION & FOCUS ON YOU
One-on-one means that your instructor can zero in on precisely the language issues and challenges that YOU are having, not what 15 others are having.
WORK AT YOUR OWN PACE
Finally, 1-1 allows you to move at a pace that works for you. Move faster or slower as you and your instructor determine is best for where you’re at. Busy week at work? No problem – slow things down. Found extra time this month? Fantastic – move ahead at lightning speed.
“I chose to give online private tutoring a try because I wanted to improve my grasp of grammar, and with it, to improve my literacy. Opportunities to do so in the States are few and far between, if consistently available at all. I had never had an online learning experience prior to Qasid, so was not sure what to expect. I have found Qasid’s curriculum and video modules to be designed with care and insight, and my teacher to be patient, pleasant, knowledgeable and supportive. The Qasid support team does a lot to pave the way and to ensure that all the details of signing up, getting logged in and having a complication-free session all go smoothly. Thanks to all of the combined effort, I can say without hesitation that I have learned a lot in a short amount of time, and am gaining greater confidence in being able to properly approach texts. I also have a clearer sense of what I will need to do over time to continue making strides. I would recommend this to any student who has the right amount of time and energy to devote to the experience.”

The ease of meeting online with patience, highly qualified instructors willing to tailor their years of experience and the Qasid curriculum to your goals and needs is unmatched.
