🏮 Top 1% teacher... Fully available from August 4 onwards! Professional teacher and life coach, I've had the pleasure of helping more than 500 international students to acquire Arabic and/or French. All of them were for me a source of inspiration and continual improvement. I deeply believe that my mission is not to produce grammar "knowers", but speakers who, when exposed to the right learning methods, are able to climb the levels up to the full mastery of the target language. Personally, I'm interested in religion, resilience, civilization & human growth. I've been intensively teaching since 2017 and had more than 5500 classes with 500+ students from all over the world. I've helped many of them to pass the DELF and DALF exams, to be better prepared for a job interview, a trip to an Arabic or French-speaking country... or simply to become a language chameleon 🦎😉 I use the Comprehensible Input method of Stephen Krashen, that focuses on comprehension-based interaction. The main goal of each lesson being to speak 70% to 100% of the time in the target language, I gradually replace English with closed questions, draws, body language, then TPRS & storytelling.  Each lesson is prepared beforehand and tailored to the students goals & needs. From B1 and above, I systematically involve the student in class planning, by sharing preparatory homework and occasional writing productions. Don't hesitate to book a discounted trial lesson to experience my teaching method, and see how we could collaborate to achieve your language goals. See you 🙂

someone who achieved nearly a native level in English within one year. I have experience with psychology and neuroscience, I have studied the subject of languages on my own, and I was able to learn English and take it to a very high level in a short period of time, I have studied how kids learn to speak and that helped me develop new methods to acquire the language and speak it at this level, I do believe that languages should not be hard to learn, but you have to understand how the brain acquires the language first then apply the proper techniques so you can learn the language naturally and without the need to study textbooks.

Tell me how you are learning or want to learn Arabic, and we'll have it sorted out together! I am a resident neurosurgeon, with a lifelong passion for languages which involves both learning and teaching: I consider myself a nonstop learner of all aspects of my interests, and I am keen on sharing the knowledge I acquire for the purposes of recreation, benefit, and assistance whenever necessary. My interests and hobbies extend widely beyond the medical realm, and I am open to different orientations and perspectives adopted by people around the globe. In light of this, it seems it wouldn't be too complex choosing the topics you would like to enhance your language skills through! ---- I have a 9-year experience of being a participant, organiser, and moderator of language talk sessions at online and offline events. Kindly note that my services are unavailable to: 1) Children 2) Beginners of Arabic with no fluency in English 3) Beginners of English Consider me your personal language assistant rather than a traditional teacher; if I were in need of a tutor to help me with my learning journey, I would wish they accept me approaching them the way I prefer, with my own questions, suggestions and preparations, instead of them imposing a curriculum on me that isn't compatible with my prerequisites. I want to provide the same to you, and this extends from grammar to conversations. I also do have lists of lesson ideas and conversation topics that I can share with you to choose from when you decide to book a lesson with me! Feel free to approach for more talks!

Hi! I'm Khaila, an Arabic language teacher and a visual artist from Palestine currently living in Turkey. Have worked in education and research for over 8 years, chiefly specializing in relationships between fine art, literature, and history and this is my second year working on Italki as an Arabic teacher. I am interested in learning languages, so I get to know about different cultures and I express that knowledge through my paintings. I also like dancing, reading, and watching movies. As for other hobbies, I am interested in physical activities such as hiking. With hiking, I have had the opportunity to develop my photography of natural scenes. Since my graduation, I have been working in teaching where I taught the Arabic language- the Palestinian and Jordanian accent (Levantine dialect) in terms of general conversation, grammar, literature, morphology, writing, listening, Arabic slangs, writing proofreading and Quran for non-Arabic speakers and for native speakers as well. I taught students from various backgrounds, ages, and levels and from private lessons to classrooms so that I can work with any level. My lessons are tailored around what a student wants and needs. My main focus is to help them relax and speak through friendly conversation as well as any subject they enjoy and any skill they want to improve.

    Khaila is such an impressive teacher! I have tried to learn levantine arabic for years now and this is the first time, I feel like I've found a teacher who can actually help me excel. Her ability to create structure around lesson goals and still stay in fleuent conversation mode, is beyond me. Very excited about my next classes..

    Loutas is a truly wonderful teacher. Her endless patience makes you feel completely comfortable speaking and experimenting with new words. She creates a relaxed, encouraging atmosphere that makes learning Arabic both effective and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Arabic in a fun and supportive way.

  • Tristan Brody

    Learning Arabic (Levantine)

    I've taken over 100 lessons with Sereen and she has helped me enormously in improving my Arabic. When I started, I couldn't really speak at all, and now I can express ideas and have basic conversations. She's a great teacher because she's patient, confident and always open to trying new methods of learning and switch things up depending on what I need to focus on. She's also very funny and makes the lessons comfy (I've always been very anxious in 1-1 language lessons, which stopped me from advancing for years). Highly recommend !

    Patrick

    Learning Arabic (Levantine)

    I’ve been taking lessons with Mohammed for many years and I owe much of my progress in Arabic to him. He tailors the class to me and focuses on conversational skills in Syrian dialect, using different conversational topics to structure sessions around vocabulary building whilst maintaining the flow of conversation - some more formal (culture, history, traditions etc) and others informal (idioms, travel, social occasions). We work with google docs to capture new vocabulary and phrases and he often gives me the etymology and nuances rather than just a translation (eg when the same word might be appropriate or less appropriate depending on the scenario / context). I have tried many Arabic tutors over the years and Mohammed is by far the most skilled and patient.

  • Jason Atallah

    I had a wonderful experience practicing Arabic with Mohammed! He quickly assessed my proficiency and adapted the conversation to suit my level. I was born in the US but have some background in Arabic from my family. I often feel self-conscious speaking. However, Mohammed created a relaxed atmosphere that encouraged me to practice. His method of providing gentle corrections while allowing me to speak freely was incredibly helpful. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their Arabic!

    I have been taking lessons with Youssef for a long time now, and it has been an incredible journey. I started with a strong foundation in MSA, and he has guided me every step of the way as I transitioned into Levantine Arabic. We have covered so much together, and his professionalism, expertise, and dedication have made all the difference. Youssef goes above and beyond in both his lessons and preparation, always ensuring that the material is engaging, relevant, and tailored to my needs. We have also spent time preparing for exams in both MSA and Levantine Arabic, and his teaching, insights, and advice have been truly exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend Youssef for learners of all levels in both MSA and Levantine Arabic. He is a fantastic teacher who is deeply committed to his students’ success.

Frequently asked questions

What is Levantine Arabic, and how is it different from Modern Standard Arabic?

Levantine Arabic is a dialect spoken in the Levant region, which includes countries like Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Palestine. It is used in everyday conversation and is the most common form of Arabic spoken in these areas. Unlike Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), which is used in formal settings, writing, and media across the Arab world, Levantine Arabic is more informal and has a distinct pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar.

MSA is based on classical Arabic and is standardized, meaning it doesn’t vary much between regions. In contrast, Levantine Arabic includes unique words, expressions, and idioms that vary by country or even city within the Levant region. Levantine Arabic is generally not written, whereas MSA is used in books, newspapers, and official documents. Learning Levantine Arabic is especially useful for everyday conversations, travel, and cultural immersion in the Levant region.

What will I learn in my Levantine Arabic lessons?

In your Levantine Arabic lessons, you will focus on learning the practical, spoken form of the language used in daily life in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Palestine. Key areas include:

1. Vocabulary: You’ll build a solid foundation of commonly used words and phrases specific to Levantine Arabic, including greetings, food-related terms, travel vocabulary, and more.

2. Pronunciation: Your tutor will help you perfect the distinct sounds and intonations of Levantine Arabic to sound natural and authentic.

3. Grammar: You’ll learn the basic grammar rules, such as sentence structure, verb conjugations, and noun-adjective agreement, tailored to the Levantine dialect.

4. Conversation Skills: You’ll practice speaking through real-life conversations, helping you communicate confidently in casual situations, from ordering food to making small talk.

5. Cultural Context: Alongside language, you’ll explore cultural aspects, like social norms, traditions, and idiomatic expressions used in the Levantine region.

Your tutor will customize the lessons to suit your needs, whether you’re learning for travel, work, or personal interest.

How much do Levantine Arabic lessons cost on italki?

The cost of Levantine Arabic lessons on italki varies depending on the tutor’s experience, qualifications, and lesson duration. On average, prices range from $10 to $30 per lesson, with some tutors offering discounted rates for first-time students or package deals. You can find tutors at different price points, so it’s possible to select one that fits your budget. Additionally, you can choose lesson lengths from 30 minutes to 60 minutes, which may also impact the price. Prices are flexible, allowing you to choose a tutor based on both your learning goals and budget.

How often should I take Levantine Arabic lessons for the best progress?

For the best progress in learning Levantine Arabic, it’s recommended to take lessons at least 2-3 times a week. Regular lessons help reinforce the material, build consistency, and improve retention. However, the frequency can vary based on your personal goals, availability, and learning pace. If you’re aiming for conversational fluency, more frequent sessions may be beneficial. For those with a busier schedule, one lesson per week can still show progress, especially if you complement lessons with self-study, such as reviewing vocabulary, practicing speaking, or listening to Levantine Arabic media. The key is to maintain regular exposure and practice to develop confidence and fluency.

Can I switch tutors if I feel the lessons are not working for me?

Yes, on italki, you can easily switch tutors if you feel that the lessons are not meeting your needs. It’s important to find a tutor whose teaching style, pace, and approach align with your learning goals. If you’re not satisfied with your current tutor, you can explore other options by browsing different profiles, reading reviews, and booking trial lessons with other tutors. Switching tutors is a common part of the learning process, and it’s a great way to ensure you get the most effective lessons for your learning style.
