"Mongia is an excellent tutor for building confidence in conversational practice. She always challenges me each lesson to speak more and I have really noticed the improvement in my speaking skills after just a few months. She also speaks Tounsi throughout the lesson so that I don't rely on English too much which has really helped me to improve quickly. By letting me select topics I would like to learn throughout the lesson, she also shapes my language learning process to fit what will be most useful for me, with practical lessons I will actual use.."

"I can highly recommend Mongia as a tutor from the bottom of my heart! She has a very kind, warm-hearted and joyful vibe and I can feel that she really cares about supporting people and passing on everything that a language contains - a whole new world. Already in the first session I noticed how professional and structured she approaches the classes. I particularly appreciate that Mongia not only teaches the beautiful Tunisian dialect very passionately, but also brings closer the culture. In her lessons, I always really immerse myself in the wonderful Arabic world. For me she‘s a very „sunshiny“, cheerful, highly skilled & competent and patient teacher who really takes the time to give detailed explanations. In addition, I am really impressed by her various teaching methods; I wish I had had a teacher like her when I was in school! I feel like I will learn the Tunisian dialect quickly with her help! Looking forward to every class! 😊 Thank you Mongia! 🌞."
