He received his MBA in International Business and has been working in the translation field for a few years along with two years experience in teaching Arabic in different settings for different age groups. He is currently teaching Arabic at University at Albany and Union College.  Through travel to several countries and living and working with Arabs from all over the world, Sohaib has had first hand experience with other Arab cultures aside from his own, and these cultural experiences have enhanced his Arabic teaching.  If you are looking for help in Modern Standard Arabic or Darija, Sohaib will be happy to work with you.
