Me as a Teacher
Follow me on IG for short videos about Arabic: mahmoodsalem_arabic
My experience helping friends and family speak better Arabic and Japanese made me want to become a community tutor here on italki. I can help you with vocabulary, making conversation, natural expressions, or whatever else you need to practice. I also helped a lot of people and friends from all over the world on different apps like "hellotalk" with their Arabic, English and Japanese.
My lessons & teaching style
Conversation Practice lessons will consist of a natural conversation with me.
We will talk about our lives, our hobbies, etc. All the while, I will be introducing new words and correcting your mistakes. Our goal is to make your conversation and speaking skills as natural as possible.
I’m a patient person and I will be speaking slowly.

I have really enjoyed all my lessons with Mahmood so far, he is an exceptional Arabic teacher with a patient and natural teaching style. Within 6 months I already feel like I've made significant strides in my spoken Arabic effortlessly under his guidance – coming from knowing no Arabic at all, to being able to ask friends how their week is going, talk about work, holidays, and hobbies, and all in past/present/future tenses. Highly recommended for anyone seeking natural language progression. Thanks Mahmood!

I have been having classes with Mahmoud for 2 years, and he is a fantastic teacher! Mahmoud is a patient and kind teacher who is always flexible in his teaching. Despite the busy teaching schedule, he is always positive and enthusiastic which gives me the right motivation especially in my lazy moments! With him, I started from zero to now being able to have conversations (albeit slow) on different topics! I would totally recommend Mahmoud if you are looking for an awesome and inspiring teacher for along run!

Mahmood creates a comfortable and judgment-free environment. From the very first lesson, he made me feel at ease, creating a space where I could make mistakes without feeling embarrassed.
What sets Mahmood apart is his ability to make lessons relatable by connecting the language to real-life situations, cultural insights, and even my own interests. He explain things in a way that makes sense, breaking down complex concepts into simple, practical steps

It is so helpful when Mahmood makes me break down a sentence to describe each word & its conjugation!
Also, I meant to ask him to start giving me the word root and organically somehow he started that today. 3njaaaad he pays attention to what the student needs and is able to meet at their level. This is one of his excellent excellent strengths as a teacher. Thank you, as usual!

Mahmood was patient, attentive and professional. The lesson ran perfectly, being allowed to flow in conversation and then stopped at the appropriate points to give the correct ways to speak. As well as correcting grammar, local phrases were given as input so I could sound native. Really enjoyable lesson and fun conversations.
