Experience / Qualifications

I first started teaching Chinese during my Master's study ten years ago in Sichuan University, China. Many international exchange students needed help with their HSK exams and day to day conversional skills, together, we discovered ways to help each one to improve.
Apart from that, I also helped different age groups with their English studies.
Now it has been almost a decade that teaching languages is a fun and important part of my activities.
I wish to continue to share the knowledges and keep my roots.

Master Arabic with a Personalized and Practical Approach

Welcome to the Arabic Language Program — a comprehensive course designed for non-native speakers who are ready to explore one of the world’s most widely spoken languages. Arabic spans Western Asia, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa, and is both a deeply historical and modern, living language.

Our teaching method is built on modern, evidence-based principles of lifelong learning and adult education. We believe Arabic is a logical and accessible language — when taught using the right approach. That’s why our curriculum is carefully structured to prioritize relevance, clarity, and practical use.

We offer private online lessons for all levels, from A1 to C2. Whether you’re aiming to use Modern Standard Arabic in professional settings or to become fluent in the Levantine dialect for everyday conversation, our program provides the tools and guidance to help you succeed.

Join us and experience how learning Arabic can be intuitive, engaging, and truly transformative.

All the best,

I have been giving chinese lessons for more than 10 years. Before that, I was a radio broadcaster and a journalist in China, hence I have a perfect pronunciation of the official mandarin, without any accent. It provides my students the best conditions to learn chinese, as the tone you give to words when you speak chinese as a foreigner is of great importance if you want to be understood by natives.

I have a strong working experience helping students preparing their HSK exam, I also often teach diplomats, to help them acquire the necessary skills and understand properly the vocabulary specific to their job.

I also love to work with kids, as I was a mandarin teacher for 2 years in an international school in Singapore. I give them a playful learning environment and use fun learning methods, so even the youngest can stay focused!
