Carol Haidar 

I have spent most of my life in the Middle East, but in 2013, I moved to New York and fell in love with the magic of the city. Being so far away, it has been very important for me to feel connected with my Lebanese roots and remain in contact with Arabic culture. And I also understand the immense personal and professional value of being bilingual.

I have been teaching Arabic since 2010. I have developed Arabic curriculums for both kids and adults. After 10 years of teaching, success has strengthened my foundation to provide our youngest generation with the intellectual stimulation and educational advantage gained through early exposure to other languages.

I have proudly worked with Qtalk Desktop Publishing, Datamier, and Xavier High school.

I have also published three Levantine textbooks and children stories in the Levantine dialect, “Ya Ahla W Sahla” for beginners.

Through Nasma, I want to highlight the beauty of the Arab World and positively impacts today’s youth through education and acceptance.
