No reviews yet

Hello! I'm a native Arabic teacher with over 12 years of experience helping non-native speakers learn Arabic the right way - confidently, naturally, and without endless translation.

WHAT I TEACH:
- Modern Standard Arabic (MSA / Fus-ha) for reading, writing and formal communication
- Spoken Emirati & Gulf dialect for everyday life, work and making friends in the UAE
- Arabic for complete beginners up to advanced learners
- Islamic Studies and Quran (Tajweed & memorization) with proper Hafs an Asim narration
- Arabic grammar (Nahw) and morphology (Sarf) explained simply and clearly

MY METHOD:
I use an immersive, communication-first approach that builds real speaking confidence from the very first lesson. Every lesson covers the four core skills - speaking, listening, reading and writing - and is fully personalised to your goals, level and pace. I create my own interactive materials, quizzes and digital resources to keep learning engaging and effective.

MY BACKGROUND:
- Bachelor's degree in Arabic Language, Literature & Islamic Sciences (Cairo University)
- Pre-Master's in Grammar, Morphology & Linguistics (Cairo University)
- Specialized Diploma in Linguistic Studies
- 12+ years teaching in Egypt, the UAE and online to students from all over the world
- Currently teaching Arabic to non-native secondary students at a school in the UAE
- Licensed for private tutoring in the UAE

WHO I TEACH:
Expats, professionals, university and school students, and anyone who wants to truly understand and speak Arabic - whether for daily life, work, travel, study, or connecting with the Quran.

WHAT YOU GET:
A patient, organised and friendly teacher who adapts to your needs, tracks your progress with clear feedback, and makes learning Arabic genuinely enjoyable. I'm happy to start with a free trial lesson so you can see my teaching style and we can plan a program that fits you perfectly.
