    I was nervous about studying a language in a classroom after not having been in one for many years. I wasn't sure if the class would be too hard or boring or if it'd be fun. Thankfully I got Torkom as my Arabic Level 1 teacher and I learned so much and looked forward to class every week!Torkom kept the class moving and broke the time into varying teaching styles, which kept us engaged and challenged in fun ways. He was patient and took time to explain things and also prioritized which elements of the lessons needed to be focused on so that we would not feel overwhelmed. I absolute recommend studying with Torkom!

    I love how Torkom breaks down the movement vocabulary and corrects each and every one of his students in class. Not that many instructors do that. Torkom, your shimmy is traffic-stopping! Torkom's Middle Eastern dance classes are so much fun and very affordable!
  • Raqs W/out Borders:Mid Eastern/North African Dance Fest

    Reviewed by Habiba on 5/3/2016
    I have taken so many belly dance classes at famous dance studios like Yousry Sharif's, Nourhan Sharif's, Serena Studio, and Layla Mary's but TORKOMADA's Middle Eastern dance classes are the best. What's more, Torkom's in-depth knowledge of Egyptian culture, language, and dance helped me not only improve my dance technique, but also enrich my knowledge about Arabic culture. Torkom is the best dance instructor I've ever had. I highly recommend his classes! Habiba

    "After taking Torkom's Arabic level two class, I started texting in Arabic with my family in order to practice. Although I make some spelling mistakes, for the most part I'm already getting better. My family's responses were great! They were so surprised. Thanks for giving me the confidence! Your class is awesome."

    The Spanish teacher knows many languages and can relate them to each other. He is also a very nice person and answers all questions with a lot of patience. He pushes us just the right amount and is encouraging. He's also super nice. Love my Spanish teacher and the class. Not to mention that I'm learning much more than I would have on my own. I'm glad I took it. I highly recommend this class to anyone. TORKOMADA is the best language school!
  • Arabic Level One

    Anonymous review on 4/12/2016
    Torkom is the best thing after sliced bread! I took a beginning Arabic class before and retained very little information. He is helpful and resourceful. A friend of mine who speaks the Arabic language fluently was impressed at my learning rate in Torkom's class. I will definitely be returning for Level 2.
