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!

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 enjoy my lessons with Mahmood so much. He teaches Arabic in a very natural and intuitive way. He is very patient and diligent in his explanations and I can see progress I am making thanks to his efforts. He encourages me and also „challenges“ me to try again and again and not to be afraid to make mistakes. I feel very free to talk to him - no matter the languague or topic. So I totally want to recommend to book a lesson with him! Shokran elak ya 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 found speaking in Arabic such a challenge in the beginning but since having lessons with Mahmood my confidence is growing and my Arabic is improving thanks to him being so encouraging and patient. Each lesson he writes our conversation in Arabic with English meaning and pronunciation aswell which is really helpful. We always cover topics that are tailored to my work/travel plans so I can learn relevant vocabulary for my trips which has been really valuable!

I have had regular sessions with Mahmood for a few years now. I always thoroughly enjoy our conversations and am consistently amazed at his patience when I'm struggling to find my words. Excellent teacher - if you're learning Levantine or MSA, definitely give him a go!
