I didn't have enough time and when I did, I just couldn't keep their attention (they're 10 and 12). Mr. Bassam told me they had weekend school, either one or two days, and that his teachers were used to dealing with active boys. Anyway, I gave it a try and I must say that it worked out real well. Somehow they made it fun for my kids and they really enjoyed their Saturday Arabic. Good job, Bassam.

I looked forward to being around people who enjoyed teaching English, and meeting students from all around the world. If I ever came across a family member or friend who needed English support, I would definitely send them here as well. From a volunteer perspective, the Center provides so much support and training for its teachers (who do not need to be professional teachers, so this helps), including a ready-made curriculum and textbooks. Though I've been an ESL tutor in the past, having this institutional support was important for me as I wanted to be well-prepared for my students. The teaching set-up also requires each class to be taught by two teachers, which is very helpful! The students come from all around the world and have many different reasons for being in the program. I loved laughing with them, learning from them (as well as my co-teachers!!), and even learning a few things about the English language myself.

The teachers are thoughtful, gentle, but firm enough to instill order and respect. It has definitely been a great help in my endeavor of raising bilingual kids.

They even invite parents to give presentations on their families' cultural heritage, latin or not. The staff really do a fantastic job in handling all types of kids. I can't say enough about how good an experience this has been for our kids. There is a strong emphasis on the arts as well as the language. Programs are adapted to handle your needs. Some kids come once a week while others come daily. When you pick up the kids after class, you need to knock on the door and they'll let you in. The center is on Gallows Road just South of Tysons. Traffic on Gallows is hectic but I've always been able to get in and out easily. We'll keep coming back as long as we're living here.
