Ahmed Deiab

Ahmed is the only language teacher you will ever need. He is passionate, polite, competent, well rounded, and extraordinarily gifted as a teacher. I started learning Egyptian Arabic from him in August. Now, we are starting to have more complex conversations on current events and deeper topics. He is a human encyclopedia and brilliant translator and interpreter. He is capable of translating even the most unusual of metaphors and concepts. Ahmed has proven much more organized and dedicated than my professors in college. From utilizing a custom worksheet to coherently demonstrating proper conjugation to recommending books for practice both in and out of class, to watching travel videos in Egyptian Arabic on YouTube, Ahmed has developed an unique ability to adapt to each student an effect curriculum. I have two friends I have referred to Ahmed that are now taking classes and a potential third in the works. He is an outstanding teacher and I look forward to every lesson!

Ahmed is solid. He holds a fantastic conversation on virtually any topic you want to talk about and is able to help IMMEDIATELY with hard to translate sentences. Another plus is is English language capability is near that of a native born English speaker.

I have had a number of lessons given by Ahmed, and I am so happy and thankful to have discovered him on italki. His style of teaching and communication is done in a relaxed manner that makes one feel at ease and actually enjoy the process of learning a language. Having learnt to speak a couple of other languages and in turn experienced various teaching methods, I find Ahmed’s the best thus far. His approach focuses on learning to speak the language through simple sentences and thereby giving the student a sense of accomplishment right from the start, as opposed to becoming weighed down with grammatical rules too early in the process. As one learns to speak, grammar itself then becomes an adjunct which is easier to tackle and understand as a whole. The above said, I’ve found Ahmed to be completely adaptable and consequently being able to provide the best learning path that is comfortable for each individual student’s needs. As such, that’s why I believe he’s a great teacher. Shukran

Another magnificent lesson with Ahmed! Ahmed was destined to teach. There are not enough superlatives to describe him and his teaching method. I am so thrilled to be studying with him because I learn so much during our class (vocabulary, grammar, idioms, etc.) Thank you, Ahmed, for your dedication, creativity and passion towards your work, and thanks for the extra time today!

I’ve been learning Classical Arabic with Ahmed, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. His teaching style is clear, patient, and engaging. He explains grammar in a way that’s easy to understand, and always provides helpful examples. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your understanding, Ahmed is the perfect guide. I’ve made real progress thanks to him — highly recommended for anyone serious about learning Classical Arabic or Egyptian Dialect!

Thank you again Ahmed! Another great conversation and lots of helpful tips to catch the nuances of the pronunciation and verb conjugation!
