Ahmed Deiab

Ahmed is the only language teacher you will ever need. He is passionate, polite, competent, well rounded, and extraordinarily gifted as a teacher. I started learning Egyptian Arabic from him in August. Now, we are starting to have more complex conversations on current events and deeper topics. He is a human encyclopedia and brilliant translator and interpreter. He is capable of translating even the most unusual of metaphors and concepts. Ahmed has proven much more organized and dedicated than my professors in college. From utilizing a custom worksheet to coherently demonstrating proper conjugation to recommending books for practice both in and out of class, to watching travel videos in Egyptian Arabic on YouTube, Ahmed has developed an unique ability to adapt to each student an effect curriculum. I have two friends I have referred to Ahmed that are now taking classes and a potential third in the works. He is an outstanding teacher and I look forward to every lesson!

Ahmed is solid. He holds a fantastic conversation on virtually any topic you want to talk about and is able to help IMMEDIATELY with hard to translate sentences. Another plus is is English language capability is near that of a native born English speaker.

Another magnificent lesson with Ahmed! Ahmed was destined to teach. There are not enough superlatives to describe him and his teaching method. I am so thrilled to be studying with him because I learn so much during our class (vocabulary, grammar, idioms, etc.) Thank you, Ahmed, for your dedication, creativity and passion towards your work, and thanks for the extra time today!

Ahmed is such a great teacher. He is really professional and you can talk with him about anything. He is the best.

If you're looking for a teacher of Egyptian Arabic, you should definitely book with Ahmed. Even though I have a long way to go (as the journey will always be long when it comes to learning any language), I have come so much further in Masri than I ever thought I could have thanks to Ahmed. It is learning and practice by actually using the language in conversation. If you are a total beginner, he will help you learn the conjugations and as you go along, you will learn other grammatical aspects of the language, or other important things like learning to tell the time. He puts all the words and phrases you learn in a shared google doc, and if you request it, he will write the words both in Arabizi and the Arabic script (with the translations of course). Not only do you learn a lot, it is genuinely just so fun. It is not just a conversation practice, it is talking with a friend. Ahmed is one of those genuinely good souls, he both kind and patient, and I can't recommend him enough. :D
