Before you pay for a package of lessons, ask the questions that reveal how a school actually operates. A good academy will answer all nine without hesitation.
The nine questions
Send these to any school you are considering, including ours.
- What are the teachers' qualifications and where did they study?
- Are native Arabic-speaking male and female teachers available?
- Will my child keep the same teacher each week?
- How are lessons adapted for absolute beginners?
- What happens if we need to reschedule?
- How is progress reported to parents?
- Is there a free trial before any payment?
- What is the refund or satisfaction policy?
- Which time zones can you accommodate?
What a strong answer sounds like
Specifics, not slogans. A school that names its teachers' backgrounds, shows you a sample progress report, and offers a genuine free trial is one that expects to keep you for years.
