Living in Edinburgh? See Arabic tutors' reviews & videos
Learning a language face-to-face with a tutor can be a fantastic experience. But if you're unable to find an affordable private Arabic tutor in Edinburgh, you may want to consider learning online. To learn with an Arabic tutor near you in Edinburgh, you'll have to either travel to the tutor's home, or pay more to cover their travel time; the average cost of receiving private Arabic lessons in Edinburgh is over $20 per hour. Not only does learning online save travel costs, but you gain access to the best tutors from all over the world.
Whilst students sometimes prefer learning in person, the vast majority of students report being pleasantly surprised by the experience of learning with a tutor online.

Mira E
Experienced MSA and Levantine Arabic Tutor with 5 years of teaching experience
Hello! I'm Mira, a Lebanese tutor specializing in teaching Levantine Arabic and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). I'm currently finishing a Master's degree at the Sorbonne in Paris, where I focused on Arabic literature, music, and linguistics. Over the years, I’ve worked with students from various backgrounds, helping them achieve their language learning goals, whether for personal, academic, or professional reasons.
My teaching method is highly adaptable to each student’s needs, combining conversational practice, grammar instruction, and cultural insights. I believe that learning a language is most effective when it’s engaging and practical, so I integrate listening exercises, such as news updates or Arabic music, into our lessons. This helps reinforce your skills while keeping the learning process enjoyable.
I focus on boosting your confidence in speaking, alongside improving your understanding of grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure. I also provide additional materials, like recordings and exercises, to support your learning outside of our sessions.
Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, I'll guide you step by step with clear explanations and a patient, supportive approach. Looking forward to helping you on your language journey!

Nafie B
Nafie B
Experienced Arabic Language Teacher with over 1 Year of Experience
Hello, my name is Nafie. I am from Morocco. I am interested in teaching Arabic and some of the languages spoken in Morocco, such as Darija (Moroccan Arabic) and Tarifit (a dialect of the Amazigh language spoken in some areas of northern Morocco).
Note: I do not have materials for Tarifit, so I teach it through conversations, discussions, dialogues...etc.
I have been teaching Arabic online since July 2023, thus I have become more acquainted with language teaching. I also obtained a Language Teaching Certificate, which helps me plan my lessons effectively and efficiently. Additionally, I am majoring in linguistics, so my classes are better designed to spot the weaknesses of students. This way, I help my students improve their level by designing courses that target mainly their weaknesses, which help us work on these so that we go a step further.
I can also provide help with your studies and exams.
Book a trial lesson with me so we can discuss your goals and how I can help you reach them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best options for taking Arabic lessons in Edinburgh?
There are several options for learning Arabic in Edinburgh, whether you live in the city center or the suburbs. You can use an app or software program to learn basic vocabulary and grammar. You can also join group lessons with Arabic tutors in Edinburgh if you prefer a social learning experience. Alternatively, you can take one-on-one lessons with a private tutor, which is more expensive but may be the most effective option if you have a good tutor. Learning online may make private tutors a more affordable choice. Prices vary based on the tutor, but are generally cheaper than in-person lessons in Edinburgh.
What is the best way to find an Arabic tutor near me in Edinburgh?
If you prefer not to learn online with tutor, LanguaTalk may not be the right choice for you. Instead, you can search for tutor, we recommend giving online learning a try as it is often as good as in-person learning and allows you to access better tutors at a lower cost. You can also book a free trial session to see if it is right for you.
How much do Arabic tutors in Edinburgh charge per hour?
Our research indicates that the average cost for private Arabic lessons in Edinburgh is between $25-$35 per hour. Online tutors do not need to travel to you and often live in countries with a lower cost of living, so the hourly cost is generally lower.
Do any of the tutors on LanguaTalk offer in-person Arabic lessons in Edinburgh?
Some tutors on LanguaTalk may offer local lessons, but most only provide online lessons as it is more convenient and allows them to work from home. In addition, many tutors do not teach Arabic in Edinburgh as they live elsewhere in the world. If you book a lesson with a tutor, you should assume that it will be online unless the tutor specifically states that they offer in-person lessons in Edinburgh.
What are the differences between learning Arabic online with a tutor and learning face-to-face with a tutor in Edinburgh?
Sometimes students tell us that they're not sure about learning Arabic online because they think it’ll be completely different to learning face-to-face. But usually when they try it, they find that the experience is almost the same and they often build a solid relationship with their tutor.
Once you start a video call with your chosen tutor, you’ll be able to communicate with them as if you were in the same room. The tutor will typically also share learning resources with you (newspaper articles, YouTube, etc.) and you’ll be able to collaborate in real-time using a tool like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper.
Most students take 55-minute lessons. However, some tutors also offer the option of 30-minute lessons. If this is available, it will be noted on their profile (below their pricing and above the 'Buy Lessons' button).
In general, we recommend 55-minute lessons for most students. You may want to consider 30-minute lessons only if you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice, or if the lesson is for a child.
On LanguaTalk, you can find highly qualified tutors who offer personalized 1-on-1 Arabic lessons based on your goals and learning style. Here's how it works:
1 - Search for a tutor who meets your needs by reviewing videos, ratings, prices, and availability.
2 - Schedule a trial lesson. Many tutors offer a 30-minute trial for free, while others offer a discounted price.
3 - Take your personalized lessons with your chosen tutor via video call. Or, you can try a different tutor if you prefer.
You don't need to enter any payment information to book a free trial session. Please only book a trial if you are interested in taking lessons. Prices vary by tutor, and you can use filters to find a tutor who fits your budget. You can pay for each lesson individually or purchase multiple lessons at a discounted rate (view a tutor's profile to see their pricing options).
We're confident you'll enjoy learning with LanguaTalk. We are trusted by students around the world because of our transparency. We ask students to rate each lesson, and we display these ratings on the tutor's profile.
99.8% of lesson ratings are 5 stars. This is because, unlike other platforms, we only accept the top 10% of tutor applications.
