My dear students, I’ll be on vacation in Istanbul from the 17th to the 24th. During that time, I’ll only be working a couple of hours in the mornings. I’ll resume my normal schedule on the 25th.
Specializing in Levantine Arabic? Let’s make it natural & fun! As a Syrian who has called Turkey home for the past 10 years, I live at the intersection of cultures every day—just like we’ll bridge your Arabic learning gaps together! My greatest passion? Empowering students to speak Levantine Arabic with confidence through dynamic, real-life conversations. Whether you’re fascinated by colorful slang, need formal MSA for work, or simply want a patient guide to walk with you, I adapt to your goals.

Moi en tant que professeur
Follow me on Instagram (@mahmoodsalem_arabic) for short videos about Arabic!
Helping my friends improve their Arabic sparked my passion for teaching, which led me to become a community tutor here on italki. I can help you build your vocabulary, improve your conversation skills, and sound more natural in Arabic—whatever you need to feel more confident. I've also supported learners from all over the world on apps like HelloTalk, helping them with Arabic, English, and even Japanese. Let's learn together!
Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
Conversation Practice lessons with me are all about real, natural dialogue.
We’ll chat about everyday topics—like our lives, hobbies, and interests—while I gently correct your mistakes and introduce useful vocabulary along the way. The goal is to help you speak more naturally and confidently. I'm very patient and will always speak slowly and clearly to help you understand.

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!

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!

Mahmood è molto chiaro nello spiegare e molto disponibile nell'adattarsi al mio stile di apprendimento. È anche molto bravo a mantenere attiva la conversazione

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!

The lesson with Mahmood was exactly what I was looking for. He really took the time to listen to what my learning goals were and I could tell right away that he was taking them into consideration. He knows how to find the right balance between structure and fun, casual conversation. He is a great guy and a great teacher. I'm already looking forward to more lessons with him. Thank you!
