"In my years of collaboration with Alia, her unparalleled commitment to student learning has consistently stood out. Her innovative teaching methods empower students to grasp intricate concepts with clarity and depth. But her attentiveness to individual learning journeys truly sets her apart. Through thoughtfully organized visual literacy modules and experiential learning excursions, she offers students the opportunity to apply their knowledge in tangible contexts. Under Alia’s guidance, students don't just learn; they thrive, explore, and appreciate the world in all its colours."

Working with Dr. Soliman was a game changer for me in preparing for my speech for the 3-Minute Thesis (Gradslam) competition. Her insights into how to simplify complex ideas without losing their essence were invaluable. She helped me refine my message and deliver it with confidence, resulting in a presentation that resonated with the audience. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to win the competition and communicate my research in a way that truly connected with others. Jason Zhang

"I had the privilege of attending Dr. Alia's workshops and coaching sessions about “Narrative writing- How to craft a story” and “Adapting Your Presentation to Different Mediums”. as part of the GradSlam workshops, and I must say that the experience was truly exceptional. Dr. Alia created a supportive and interactive learning environment that encouraged open discussion and learning from one another. Her patience and willingness to address our questions and concerns ensured that everyone left the workshop with a clear understanding of the topics covered. By the end of the sessions, I felt equipped with the tools and knowledge to craft compelling narratives that could captivate any audience and to adapt and convey my ideas effectively across different mediums.”

Due to the various innovative aspects of her work, I invited Alia Soliman to be a visiting professor in my online MA course Literature and Other Arts at Universidade Aberta (Portugal’s distant teaching university). This project of virtual mobility is scheduled for autumn of 2023. Her expertise will be very beneficial not only for my students, but also for the comparison and improvement of teaching methodologies. Furthermore, this exchange will provide an opportunity to explore future pedagogic and research cooperation.

“Alia has in-depth knowledge of literature, writers and speakers from the Arab World, both in the original Arabic and in translation. This familiarity encompasses both modern and classical writing and its impact on our world. She has inspirational ideas and recommendations for speakers, and is dependable, honest, and hard-working-in short, an excellent colleague. She has excellent editorial skills demonstrated when she worked on our program”

“I am very thankful to Doctor Alia Soliman for her great advice and mentoring during my academic path. Doctor Soliman was helpful in uncovering a hidden aspect of my creative ability, her insightful unique approach to evaluating art expanded the scope of many perspectives, increasing my capability to connect with the artistic world. The films and readings she introduced not only intrigued me but also presented powerful messages that truly resonated with me, broadening my horizons and inspiring a love for the arts. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Doctor Soliman for her devotion and the influence she has had on my creative and academic growth.”

Alia is a superb editor, with amazing editorial abilities. She is able to give precise and constructive feedback and useful comments for the development of the manuscript at hand. She is also attentive to the logical flow of the arguments being made and suggests specific improvements where they are needed. Her linguistic skills enrich the work. She also provides fact-checks for the content when needed.​ I strongly recommend working with her.

“Alia’s addition to the program deepened the engagement of our students and even fostered an increasing number of students interested in majoring and minoring in Heritage Studies, Film and New Media as well as Art & Art History. Alia’s content opens up new avenues for students to explore the liberal arts. She is dedicated to continual research, publication and growth in her field and is enthusiastic to find ways to contribute to interdisciplinary approaches within a larger academic community.”
