Tutor Information

About

I’m an experienced Arabic tutor for non-native speakers with over 15 years of teaching and academic support. I hold a Master’s degree in Arabic Language and Islamic Studies, and I help students learn Arabic online with a clear plan, measurable progress, and lessons designed to build real confidence—not just memorization. I teach Arabic in the form that matches your goal: Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) for study and professional use, conversational Arabic for daily communication, Egyptian Arabic (and other dialects upon request), and Classical/Qur’anic Arabic for learners interested in Islamic texts. My method is interactive and activity-based, built on discussion and guided practice, so you speak, listen, read, and write Arabic consistently from the first sessions. In addition to language learning, I provide high-quality academic help for students who need support with Arabic curricula and coursework. If you’re studying Arabic language, Islamic history, Sharia (Islamic law), or Islamic studies, I can help you understand lessons deeply, organize your notes, explain difficult concepts, prepare for exams, and improve your writing—step by step, in a simple and structured way. What I can help you with: Learn Arabic online (beginner to advanced): speaking, listening, reading, and writing Arabic grammar explained simply, then practiced in real sentences and conversation Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), Egyptian Arabic, and conversational Arabic Classical/Qur’anic Arabic support for comprehension and vocabulary building Homework help, curriculum support, assignments, and exam preparation in Arabic & Islamic studies If you’re looking for an Arabic teacher who is professional, patient, and results-focused, I’ll create a personalized learning path that fits your level and helps you reach your goal faster—with lessons that feel clear, engaging, and genuinely useful.
