Hello! I’m Youssef, a native Arabic teacher and English instructor with 20+ years of experience. I’m also a PhD researcher in language acquisition, specializing in Arabic in particular, as well as interference from Arabic into English at the syntactic and morphological levels. This helps me understand learners’ challenges deeply. My teaching is based on learner psychology, focusing on speaking from day one with minimal teacher talk. Lessons are practical, structured, and tailored to your needs, combining grammar, real-life communication, and pronunciation. I’ve helped many students progress quickly and build real confidence.

Youssaf is a great teacher - professional and personalised to my level. He prepared me very well for my stay in the Middle East with exactly the right vocabulary and sentences that I would need. Now I am back the lessons are just right to continue with my learning. Thank you!

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.

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 fantastic teacher because he is patient and encouraging. I don't stress about making mistakes because he gives corrections in a kind way. Also, if I'm not sure how to say something, he helps me think through it by asking me questions I do know the answer to. Through this approach, I can still often find the answer through my own understanding which is helping me build confidence in the language. It is very rewarding to have lessons with Youssef, and I would recommend him to anyone wanting to improve their Arabic.

Very efficient, humorous, and encouraging teacher. Each lesson introduces a new concept while building on previous ones, so I don't feel overwhelmed and I'm now starting to speak in longer sentences :-)
