Hello! I’m Youssef, a PhD researcher and language specialist with 20+ years of teaching Arabic and English. My unique edge? I bridge the gap between these languages—specializing in how Arabic influences English learning (yes, I study this for my PhD!). As a director of a language institute and a trainer of teachers, I don’t just teach; I *optimize* learning. My students gain confidence fast, thanks to methods rooted in language-acquisition psychology and real-world practice. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me hiking or chatting in German (B1 and climbing!). Let’s make your language journey *enjoyable* and *effective*—just like my students’ success stories.

I have been taking lessons with Youssef for a long time now, and it has been an incredible journey. I started with a strong foundation in MSA, and he has guided me every step of the way as I transitioned into Levantine Arabic. We have covered so much together, and his professionalism, expertise, and dedication have made all the difference. Youssef goes above and beyond in both his lessons and preparation, always ensuring that the material is engaging, relevant, and tailored to my needs. We have also spent time preparing for exams in both MSA and Levantine Arabic, and his teaching, insights, and advice have been truly exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend Youssef for learners of all levels in both MSA and Levantine Arabic. He is a fantastic teacher who is deeply committed to his students’ success.

Teacher Youssef Ajjoub has brilliant teaching skills, and his guiding is patient and supportive during the lesson. He is good at giving examples and tests to help me remember the new grammar, I enjoy our every lesson and I'm happy that my Arabic is improving through the lessons. I'll recommend him to anyone who wants to learn Arabic grammar and writing, he has nice sense of humor and experienced teaching skills to make you learn with smiles!

I feel so lucky that I've bumped into Youssef's profile when looking for an Arabic teacher. Over the last few months, he's been accompanying my first steps in learning this wonderful language and he's provided me with a highly fruitful methodology and a lot of motivation. From a professional point of view, Youssef approaches the teaching and learning process with a remarkable knowledge and linguistic expertise. His proven skills acquired thanks to his high academic profile and engaged career and practical life have been paramount in my first experience with Arabic. What is more, he's so well-organised and punctual, highly responsive and kind. From a personal point of view, he's honest and modest and his sense of humous contributes positively to our lessons. In light of this, I've always had the impression that my knowledge of Arabic has been improving quantitatively and qualitatively. Thank you, Youssef!

Yousef is excellent at revisiting key concepts and using different strategies to ensure I am progressing. Very approachable and responsive to the context and reason for my interest in learning the language.

Youssef is a great teacher. His background in PhD-level research on English-Arabic language transference makes him a valuable resource for English speakers looking to learn Arabic. He also combines his academic expertise with practical understanding of how native speakers approach the language, which is very helpful.
