About Me

I am a passionate and patient Arabic tutor, originally from Syria and currently based in Amsterdam. With a love for teaching and cultural exchange, I believe in creating a dynamic and interactive learning environment where students are encouraged to speak Arabic from day one. My background in music and photography adds a creative dimension to my lessons, making learning both fun and impactful. Whether you're just beginning your Arabic journey or looking to refine your skills, I tailor each session to your unique needs and goals. Whether I am teaching Modern Standard Arabic or regional dialects of the Levant region, my focus is always on building students' confidence and communication skills. I strive to incorporate aspects of Arabic culture into my lessons to give my students a richer learning experience. My students have consistently praised my ability to make Arabic feel approachable and fun.
The more you hear and practice Arabic, the more I can help you discover its beauty. Together, we can explore Arabic literature, poetry, everyday phrases, cultural traditions, relationships, and even the delights of Arabic cuisine. Whether you're planning to visit an Arab country or have a partner from one, learning Arabic will open doors to meaningful connections and enjoyable experiences.
