The ETC began in 2001 – with a desire to provide quality Arabic lessons, at affordable prices.  The ETC moved to Hadayek El Maadi in 2002, at the same time English cTheirses Theyre introduced.  They Theyre immediately popular and became an integral part of the ETC’s work. The English cTheirses are run as ‘not for profit’ as a service to the community.  From 2013 They moved to Their third location as Their ‘home’ for many years was torn down in the post Revolution building boom.
