AbdelRahman Hashem

I've been taking Arabic lessons with AbdelRahman for a couple of months now, and I couldn’t be happier. He’s always well-prepared and structures the classes in a way that makes things easy to follow and build on. He’s very patient, and you can tell he really cares about helping you learn. He also explains things clearly and takes the time to make sure everything makes sense before moving on. I’ve made steady progress since starting with him, and his support has made a big difference. Highly recommend if you're looking for a thoughtful and reliable teacher!

AbdelRahman is by far the most effective Arabic teacher I’ve ever had. I am resuming lessons after a prolonged (years) break, & am also preparing to take the ILR test for the foreign service. He came up with a whole ten class lesson plan to jump start the process. It was a little bit difficult for me to figure out how far back I’d need to go but he quickly assessed my level & has done an excellent job at meeting me there. I am very quickly regaining confidence. My speech production is what I have the most difficulty with but he is patient, gives corrections on the spot, & so easily identifies areas of difficulty. He also speaks beyond fluent English which is extremely helpful to translate nuances between the two languages. In short, after three weeks I’ve gone from not remembering how to describe what I ate for breakfast to being able to give basic presentations about women’s rights & international relations. I plan to work with him for the long run. Look no further & set up a lesson!

AbdelRahman Hashem has done an amazing job helping me keep up my Arabic during a long summer break. He is incredibly patient during lessons and makes every session fun! I highly recommend taking classes with him.

It's hard to put into words how incredible of a teacher AbdelRahman Hashem is. First off, his passion for teaching Arabic language and culture is evident from the start. Deep diving into etymology that enriches our lessons is one of my favorite parts of our sessions. He weaves language and culture together in a way that helps cement learning on my end. I was looking for a more structured way to learn Arabic and was struggling with learning MSA vs Levantine dialect. Fortunately, AbdelRahman blends these together in a way that I can learn them simultaneously. His enthusiasm, professionalism, and passion inspire me to do my best, but more importantly, gives me the confidence I that I can one day speak and write Arabic fluently.

I have completed more than 20 lessons with AbdelRahman and can fully recommend him as a great professional teacher. The lessons are well structured, adapted to my needs, and flow very quickly and naturally. He is very engaging and encouraging while also able to explain the key grammar points in a systematic and clear way. Highly recommend for anyone, who is serious about learning Arabic.

Abdel Rahman is by far one of the best language teachers I've had. I've enjoyed all lessons, especially his structured materials and teaching style. He has a deep understanding and fascination of the Arabic language which really shines through in his lessons. If you're looking for an Arabic teacher, look no further!
