Mahmood Salem

I have really enjoyed all my lessons with Mahmood so far, he is an exceptional Arabic teacher with a patient and natural teaching style. Within 6 months I already feel like I've made significant strides in my spoken Arabic effortlessly under his guidance – coming from knowing no Arabic at all, to being able to ask friends how their week is going, talk about work, holidays, and hobbies, and all in past/present/future tenses. Highly recommended for anyone seeking natural language progression. Thanks Mahmood!

It is so helpful when Mahmood makes me break down a sentence to describe each word & its conjugation! Also, I meant to ask him to start giving me the word root and organically somehow he started that today. 3njaaaad he pays attention to what the student needs and is able to meet at their level. This is one of his excellent excellent strengths as a teacher. Thank you, as usual!

I have been having classes with Mahmoud for 2 years, and he is a fantastic teacher! Mahmoud is a patient and kind teacher who is always flexible in his teaching. Despite the busy teaching schedule, he is always positive and enthusiastic which gives me the right motivation especially in my lazy moments! With him, I started from zero to now being able to have conversations (albeit slow) on different topics! I would totally recommend Mahmoud if you are looking for an awesome and inspiring teacher for along run!

I have finished 30 conversational lessons so far in Levantine Arabic with Mahmood. It's been such a fun and rewarding experience working with him. Mahmood does a really good job explaining grammar concepts, teaching relevant words and phrases in Arabic, and always maintains a friendly, professional demeanor. Mahmood is truly a great teacher and I recommend him to anyone looking to improve their knowledge and spoken Arabic.

Excellent teacher, patient and thoughtful, discussed my goals and my preferred learning style, friendly, professional and guided me clearly without complicating or overwhelming!

Another lesson with Mahmood that flew by so fast! Practicing my speaking skill with him is honestly really entertaining. He asks me questions and tries to "lure me out of my comfort zone" and express new and different things. And if i make mistakes, it's no problem at all! He corrects me and we keep the conversation flow going. Highly recommended
