I am Mohamed, a native Arabic teacher. I received my bachelor degree in Arabic journalism from Minufiya University in Egypt. Then, I studied for a TEFL diploma to learn how to teach language better. I not only examined methods of teaching English but also experienced ways of illuminating language culture for non-native speakers. I worked as an English teacher at a secondary school in Egypt for almost three years. Then, I worked as an educational writer and translator for Hotcourses Ltd in the UK. I wrote more than 200 educational articles to help students in language learning and study abroad. Recently, I worked as an Arabic teacher at Fairfield University.

Muhammed is very knowledgeable about Arabic, of course, but also the culture. With other teachers I didn't have a full understanding of the pronunciation, but he focused me on the tough parts (like hamza) and helped me get those down today. Thanks!

Enjoyable lesson with Mohamed after a few weeks away for some travel. We started by briefly discussing my recent trip to Egypt, then we discussed a picture of a city square and used it as the basis for a conversation and practiced giving directions. The we discussed comparatives and superlative adjectives. We ended the lesson by starting to watch a clip from an Egyptian film. I enjoyed the lesson.

Mohamed broke down Arabic to the basics, but not before discussing the history of Arabic. Highly recommend!

Fun lesson. Used past tense to talk about a place we have been and a person we have known. Did a reading exercise about past friends meeting up. Pitched at the perfect level for me. Thanks Mohamed.

I have studied Arabic for quite a while, with a number of different teachers, and I think Prof. Mohamed may be the best teacher I've met so far. It is evident that he puts time into preparing for each lesson and he always arrives equipped with a list of lesson-specific questions for us to discuss. I think this style of teaching is really great for independent learners, who might otherwise struggle to find a direction or theme for each class.
