Ibrahim Salman

Ibrahim is a trustworthy teacher. First, his patience inspires deep-seated trust. I know because with my hearing impairment, my busy schedule which leaves less time for studying Arabic than I would like and my dogs who interrupt lessons more than they should, I have witnessed his patience. Ibrahim's expertise also reassures me that I am in the best of hands. He has the ability to gauge my preparation and comprehension on the spot such that our lessons are always properly paced. I never feel bored or overly pressured. Finally, Ibrahim is also steady and reliable; he has never canceled a lesson or failed to show up. This all means that when I am with Ibrahim, I am laser focused on learning Arabic and confident of the progress that I am making. I highly recommend Ibrahim as an Arabic teacher.

Ustadh Ibrahim Salman is an excellent teacher! He provides both a great mix of listening, speaking and writing learning activities and a very practical, supportive learning environment. As a student, you feel pushed to learn and try out new competencies, and you are supported in doing so and gain valuable feedback that helps you to improve. He is very clear and concise. Doesn’t waste your time and always lectures with the intent to help you understand the material. He helped me understand many key concepts of the Arabic language, and he is patient and eager to help. I am especially excited about the current topics of the lessons, which nevertheless contain in-depth grammar of the Arabic language with the traditional Arabic terms and not with European terms. Recommending him is a no-brainer.

very engaging teacher and makes things were clear for me!

After 34 Egyptian Arabic lessons with Mr. Ibrahim, I can confidently say he is an excellent language tutor. I tried a number of arabic tutors prior, with varying results. Ibrahim stands out. He is very good at gauging your level and progress and modifying the lesson plans to move more quickly or slowly depending on your unique needs. He also ensures you get a healthy amount of speaking time, so you have ample opportunity to practice during lessons. While daunting at first, he eases you into using the language so it feels very natural, and commensurate with your level. Would highly recommend.

Ustadh Ibrahim is very encouraging and helps me in developing my speaking skills and my vocabulary. Also the way he introduces new vocabulary is very fascinating - he uses Google images or maps to bring the book to life. Highly recommended.

Excellent lesson with Ibrahim as always. Going over past tense patterns and practicing reading and dialogue
