“Shayaan Academy, especially Sister Shaima, was so helpful and welcoming – especially being a new Muslim and not speaking any Arabic prior. She was understanding and patient and took it at a pace that I  was most comfortable with.”
Eric

“My children love logging into Dari class. Mrs. Shaima is AMAZING! She wants her students to have fun in the session and I think that is the best way for children to learn. We have had many other language teachers (Arabic, Dari) but they love Mrs. Shaima’s class because she is patient, loving, and really wants her students to understand the language. I definitely recommend Shayaan Academy!”
Yalda

“The best teacher for my kids. She got me through high school and college by teaching me as an older sister and now she is teaching my two kids. I live in New Jersey and looked everywhere for my kids to learn the Quran. I could not find anybody better than her. Very knowledgeable and kind. I really recommend her to all levels of learning. Thank you.”
