Hala Wallah ! I’m Reya, a linguist, interpreter, and your guide to mastering Arabic Najdi Dialect (the clearest, purest form of Gulf Arabic) as in letters not pronounced differently. With 8+ years as a Lead Language Teacher and BA in Linguistics, I specialize in tailored programs for professionals, executives, and corporate teams seeking discreet, high-impact training.Me as a Teacher
I like giving tricks for easier understanding and memorization rapid progress. You will have to be prepared how native speakers really talk even when we speak fast !! I’ve designed curriculums for all levels and thrive on making complex speaking simple.
My students love the dialect’s elegance it is so close to Classical Arabic.
The passion and energy I put in teaching is often translated into students' passion to learn . My lessons & teaching style
I want my students to enjoy my class so I will be making my classes in different teaching styles more often. Our lessons will include conversation, vocabulary and grammar. I focus in improving my students progress by providing homework to be able to look into their abilities and figure out their weaknesses. I also add tips and tricks to help students memorize faster.
I create mostly my own specialized materials and presentations for teaching the dialect, but also some resources online to explain any topic as effective as possible. I put a lot of pressure on myself to be the best teacher I could be and to really reach my students' expectations.My teaching material

Reya was early for class! Rachel said “I love my Arabic teacher!” I want to study Arabic all of the time! My daughter is 5 years old and having a great time.

Reya talks to you in a way that makes you feel comfortable, and is very patient encouraging. She works with you based on your goals and makes sure to teach you every part of learning the Arabic language. I'm a few lessons in and I find she makes the lessons not all the same so you don't ever feel like you're doing the same thing over and over again. She also explains everything thoroughly and makes sure you understand before she moves on. I always look forward to my lessons with her! 💕

Reya is a truly outstanding teacher! Having completed over 200 lessons and spoken to countless teachers, I can confidently say that very few come close in comparison. From lesson preparedness to offline interactions, Reya’s supportive nature has allowed me to take my Arabic to the next level, and I am constantly surprised by the variety of learning methodologies and supportive material Reya provides. Very glad to have found Reya and will definitely continue with her

Reya is an excellent Arabic tutor - she is patient, clear, and genuinely supportive. She explains concepts in a simple, practical way, and consistently tailors each lesson to my needs. She also takes time to agree what’s best to practise before the next session, so progress stays structured and focused.
Reya's teaching is well-rounded, combining speaking and reading so lessons build real, usable confidence rather than just memorisation. Overall, I think she’s professional, encouraging, and highly effective - so I highly recommend her.
