I am a certified Arabic instructor with over 15 years of experience specialising in Modern Standard Arabic and Egyptian Arabic. Holding a degree in Arabic language pedagogy, I have successfully guided students from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds in mastering grammar, media Arabic, and conversational fluency. My teaching methodology is tailored to individual learning objectives, enriched by cultural insights drawn from my academic background and personal interests in history, travel, and cinema. I am committed to delivering structured yet engaging instruction that bridges linguistic competence with real-world application.
As a teacher, I am patient, supportive, and dedicated to helping my students achieve their language learning goals. I believe that every student has the potential to learn and excel in their studies, and I work hard to create a comfortable and engaging learning environment that fosters growth and development.
I believe that it is essential to not only teach the language itself but also to provide my students with a deeper understanding and appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of the Arab world. I incorporate cultural elements into my lessons and encourage my students to explore and engage with different aspects of Arabic culture.
My teaching style is student-centered and I use a variety of teaching methods and materials to meet the unique needs and learning styles of each individual student. I believe that language learning should be fun ...

I have been studying Egyptian Arabic with Mai for over a year, and feel enormous improvements in my language skills due to these lessons. Each lesson is well-structured and have tangible goals that make learning manageable and enjoyable. Mai is patient and does a fantastic job at finding your level and speaking at a level that is both understandable and still challenges your vocabulary skills. I would highly recommend Mai for anyone wanting to learn Egyptian Arabic!

Ms Mai is a lovely and very patient teacher, her lessons are easy to follow and very informative. Her teaching style is brilliant and I have picked up Arabic much more quickly than I thought I would. I highly recommend her lessons.

I've taken about 15 or 16 lessons with Mai, now. She is always prepared for every lesson, and of the tutors I studied with before, many of whom were excellent, she is consistently the most diligent and attentive to my development of all aspects of the Arabic language. Outstanding teacher!

Amazing class. It was my first with Mai and I am very impressed with how fast the lesson went and how well prepared the material were. You can tell the quality of the class is highly professional and intentionally made for foreigners to hit the ground running. Mai is a lot of fun to learn from and she also has a radio voice, which makes you feel like you are on air in an Arabic TV show!

Mai is simply outstanding. She has many years of experience, and it shows. She is always friendly and encouraging, which makes learning fun and extremely effective at the same time. One of the best teachers I have ever had, and I have had thousands of language lessons over the past several decades. You will not be disappointed!
