I approach Arabic teaching the way an engineer approaches a problem — with structure, clarity and a clear goal in mind.

My lessons are built around your specific objectives from day one. Before we start, I take the time to understand why you want to learn Arabic, what your current level is, and how you learn best. From there, every session is designed around your pace, not a rigid curriculum that ignores where you actually are.

For beginners, I focus on building a solid foundation (the alphabet, pronunciation, basic vocabulary and simple sentence construction) using real-life contexts that make the language feel immediately useful rather than abstract. I draw on both Modern Standard Arabic and Levantine Arabic (my native dialect), so you get exposure to the Arabic that is actually spoken, not just written.

For intermediate learners, I focus on fluency, comprehension and confidence. We work through conversation practice, reading comprehension, grammar refinement and listening exercises using authentic materials.

My teaching style is direct and patient. I explain things clearly, I check for understanding, and I adapt when something is not landing. I speak English, Spanish and French, which means I can explain concepts in whichever language helps you understand fastest.

Arabic is one of the richest and most widely spoken languages in the world, and understanding it opens doors to over 400 million people, an entire culture, and a way of thinking about the world that most people never get to experience.

I am not a traditional tutor who reads from a textbook. I am someone who genuinely enjoys helping people unlock a new language and the culture behind it.

If you are serious about learning Arabic, I will make sure every session counts.
