Rana is the founder of Saifi Institute for Arabic Language. She began her Arabic teaching career in 2001 and since then she has been on a quest to share the beauty of the Arabic language as widely as possible. Her passion for Arabic drove her to develop the Saifi “Urban Arabic” book series that has rapidly gained popularity with students from all over the world. With the slogan “Learn Arabic from the ground up” the Urban Arabic curriculum trains students to learn to speak Arabic as the Lebanese do, from beginner level up to fluency.

Rana's vision of a successful career is based on her own experience, which is to believe in what you are doing no matter how small the idea.  Find your passion and make it your job.  Don’t just work to live, live to enjoy your work!

In addition, Rana loves to create a positive environment around her. Her number one priority is to be positive, energetic, loving, and caring towards students and colleagues.
