What We Do


Hello and welcome! My name is Mounna Tamek, and I’m a passionate Arabic language educator with over ten years of experience teaching Arabic and ESL (English), including at Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA) and King Abdullah Academy, where I’ve been teaching for the past three years.

I hold both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Linguistics from George Mason University (GMU), where I also earned certificates in teaching Arabic and English as second languages. During my academic journey, I developed a strong foundation in the principles of Second Language Acquisition (SLA), which deeply inform my teaching practices today.

As part of my graduate studies, I completed a teaching practicum at GMU, where I taught beginner and intermediate Arabic classes under the supervision of a university professor. I was honored with the Outstanding Graduate Student Award in Linguistics from GMU in 2019 for both academic excellence and my dedication to teaching.

In addition to my classroom teaching, I also support other educators. At King Abdullah Academy, I led professional development workshops for elementary school teachers, focusing on how to integrate technology-based games—such as Baamboozle, Wordwall, Quizizz, and others—into their lessons to increase student engagement and retention
