Lote Tree Learning

We believe teaching can be done differently. Learning should be fun and interactive. Once students engage, learning happens almost naturally. Therefore we felt it was time for an inclusive appraoch to teaching. All of our educators at Lote Tree Learning are training in our teaching approach.  

Our unique approach to learning is summed up in the acronym IDEALS which covers several methodologies and skills we believe should be covered in all educational programs whether for primary students or adults. IDEALS stands for Inquiry Based Learning, Differentiated Learning, Experiential learning, Aptitude Training, Lens of Islam, and Social-Emotional Learning.

She puts all of these combined and more into Lote Tree Learning. It was the qadr of Allah (swt) that has brought Sara on her path and to their delight, they shared the same dreams of creating an educational environment that fosters Islamic character as well as infused learning with fun and creativity.

Together they are rallying a steadily growing team of passionate teachers and educators around Lote Tree Learning, chaired by Karim Zaben, allowing for constant improvement and development of new programs.
