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 is a truly great teacher. He is very professional and not just highly competent in the aspects of the Arabic language, but also in applying methods to make the student learn in an interactive and easy way. His lessons are always structured and well prepared and the learning atmosphere is easy-going and relaxed. As somebody who started to learn Arabic from Zero, I can say that AbdelRahman has helped me a lot from learning the letters and basic words up to creating dialogs about different topics until now, and I’m looking forward to continue learning more. Without any doubt, I definitely recommend him as a teacher, as his teaching style and methods make the progress clearly visible. شكرًا 😊

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.

Great experience! I had already studied with AbdelRahman in Jordan and it was a jackpot to find him online. He knows exactly how to push you to improve your weaknesses and is a great teacher to mix Modern Standard Arabic and Dialect in order to work on all aspects of the Arabic language continuum. No matter your Arabic goal, AbdelRahman for sure can guide you to it. شكرا جزيلا يا عبد الرحمن!

Studying Arabic with Ustadh Abd has been a wonderful experience. He is patient, thoughtful, and truly invested in his students’ growth. Since working with him, my Arabic reading speed, comprehension, and vocabulary retention have noticeably improved, and I often find myself naturally forming sentences with new words. He consistently goes above and beyond by sharing high-quality resources, including Al-Kitaab materials and supplementary videos that connect language with culture and history. Our lessons are well-structured yet flexible, creating a comfortable environment to learn and build confidence. I’m very grateful for everything I’ve learned and highly recommend Ustadh Abd to anyone serious about learning Arabic.
