🌍 Passionate Arabic & English Teacher | Culture & Fluency Guide
I specialize in making Arabic *alive*—whether you’re mastering Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) 🏛️, Moroccan Darija 🍵, or English with cultural depth. As a Fulbright alum and Amideast instructor, I blend structured learning with immersive traditions—think calligraphy ✍️, tea ceremonies, and storytelling.
With 1,600+ hours taught online and tailored materials for all levels, I help students:
- **Speak confidently** (even if you’re shy!).
- **Understand Arab culture** beyond textbooks.
- **Ace exams** (IELTS, OPI, Cambridge) or **learn just for joy**!
Let’s turn language into connection—book a trial and *taste* the journey! 🚀Me as a Teacher
🌟 My Teaching Philosophy 🌟
Learning a language is more than just mastering grammar 📚 or vocabulary 🧠—it's about connecting with a culture 🤝 and embracing its traditions 🕌🎉.
That’s why my lessons go beyond the basics of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) 📖 and Moroccan Arabic 🇲🇦. Together, we’ll explore the history 🏺, traditions 🧕, and customs 🫶 of the Arab world, enhancing your understanding 🧩 and appreciation 🌹 of its beauty.
Whether you’re a beginner learning the Arabic alphabet 🔤 or an advanced learner perfecting conversational skills 🗣️, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way 💪🚀. My lessons & teaching style
🌟 Why Learn with Me? 🌟
🎯 Dynamic and Student-Focused:
I create a fun 🎉, supportive 🤗, and interactive 💬 learning environment where you feel confident asking questions ❓, making mistakes 🙈, and growing at your own pace 🌱.
🏅 Proven Expertise:
As a former Fulbright Teaching Assistant 🇺🇸 at Washington and Lee University and an instructor at Amideast Morocco 🇲🇦, I bring a wealth of experience 📈 to every lesson.
🌍 Cultural Enrichment:
From organizing Moroccan tea festivals 🍵🇲🇦 to teaching Arabic calligraphy ✍️, I incorporate cultural activities 🎭 into my lessons to make your learning journey unforgettable ✨

He is a great guy and here to help! He challenges me with teaching me new words and lengthening the time I speak Arabic each time we meet. He is patient, thoughtful and dedicated. I look forward to every class!
