Living in Beirut, Lebanon

Experienced teacher, more than 2000 lessons in the past 2 years on italki. Hey there... I’m Hisham, your guide to mastering Levantine and Modern Standard Arabic. As a native Beirut speaker and professional translator, I blend real-life dialect with formal Arabic fluency. Whether you’re preparing for travel, work, or diving into Arab culture, I adapt lessons to your goals—using music, literature, or lively conversations. Beyond teaching, I’m a doctor, musician, and yoga instructor, so expect lessons infused with cultural insights and creativity. Let’s make Arabic fun and relevant to *your* world! BTW... check what my students say about my classes. They all had a fantastic experience and can tell you my classes are really different. As a teacher I am patient and supportive. My lessons are customised according to the needs of my students. I use a broad range of materials to aid learning, including videos, songs, articles and classic literature for advanced learners. Depending on the student’s level and need, I customise learning content and utilise a diverse collection of resources to guide them to the next level. I focus as a teacher on guiding and instruct each student in a positive, flexible, and encouraging learning environment, taking into consideration the student's subjects of interest and goals so that they can progress confidently towards the level of language they are aiming at.

I couldn't ask for a better language teacher than Hisham! He is a rare find, especially for Levantine Arabic. Native speakers I know are impressed by not only his curriculum's scope and sequence ("scope" meaning the topics he covers and "sequence" meaning the order in which they're taught), but also how flexible he is in teaching things just for me along the way! "Oh, this guy knows what he's doing," to quote one woman :)

Hicham is a great teacher! He is so kind and happy to work on difficult topics just as much as simple conversation. I can totally recommend him as a teacher. Bright and full of kindness. I am looking forward to my next lessons with you, Hicham!

These classes are great!!! If you like structure, this is a great choice. Hins has a great technique of delayed correction where he makes you try to fix your own mistakes, and uses your mistakes to teach you grammar and vocabulary. Lots of practice to drill the new structures and vocabulary into your head as well! He also brings in authentic material for our class and is very patient going through it. He assigns homework to make sure I’m practicing outside of class and preparing for the next class. I’m excited to continue!
