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
How much do San Diego Arabic tutors charge per hour?
Our research suggests that the average cost for private Arabic lessons in San Diego is somewhere between $25-$35 per hour. As online tutors do not need to travel to you and they often live in countries with a lower cost of living, the hourly cost tends to be significantly lower.
What's the best way to find an Arabic tutor near me in San Diego?
If you're really not keen on learning with a teacher via video call, LanguaTalk isn't going to be the right choice for you. You can instead search for a tutor on a local service listing website, or put up an advert in your local area. We do encourage you to give it a try learning online though - you've got nothing to lose as you can book a free trial session. Most people find the experience is as good as learning face-to-face, but with the benefit of having access to better tutors at a lower cost.
How does learning with a tutor via video call differ from learning face-to-face with an Arabic tutor in San Diego?
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.
What are the best options for receiving Arabic lessons in San Diego?
Whether you live in the city centre or the suburbs of San Diego, there are many options for learning Arabic. You could use an app or a software program if you're looking to pick up basic vocabulary and learn some grammar rules. Alternatively, you could attend group lessons with Arabic tutors in San Diego if you're keen for a social experience. Or, you could take 1-on-1 lessons with a private tutor. This isn't the cheapest way to learn a language but it's possibly the most effective, assuming you have a good tutor. Learning online rather than face-to-face may make private tutors a more affordable option. Check the tutor profiles above to see how much it's likely to cost. Prices vary a lot depending on the tutor, but will usually be cheaper than learning with an Arabic tutor in San Diego, face-to-face.
Do any of the tutors on LanguaTalk also provide Arabic lessons in San Diego?
Tutors on LanguaTalk sometimes provide lessons locally, but most only provide online lessons as it is more convenient and allows them to work from home. In addition, most tutors are not teaching Arabic in San Diego because they're living elsewhere in the world. If you decide to book with a tutor, you should assume that they can only teach you online.
On LanguaTalk, you can find exceptional tutors for 1-on-1 Arabic lessons tailored to your goals and learning preferences. Here’s how to try it for yourself:
1 - Find your ideal tutor by browsing videos, reviews, pricing and availability.
2 - Book a trial. Many tutors offer a 30-minute trial for free; others charge a discounted price.
3 - Take personalised lessons with your new tutor via video call. Or try someone else.
No card is required to book a free trial session. Please only book if you're considering taking lessons. Pricing varies by tutor and you can use the filter to find someone who fits your budget. You can pay one lesson at a time, or buy in bulk for a discount (open a tutor's profile to see their pricing options).
We’re confident you’ll love learning via LanguaTalk. We're trusted by students all over the world because we're transparent. We ask students to rate each lesson, and we display reviews on tutors’ profiles.
99.8% of lesson ratings are 5 stars. Why? Because unlike other platforms, we accept only the top 10% of tutor applications.

Lessons are taught 1-on-1 so that you receive your tutor’s full attention and can make fast progress. Communicating via video call, you’ll be able to talk to your tutor and share learning materials as if you were in the same room.
The tutors vary in terms of their teaching methods, resources, experiences, and personalities. So we suggest you look at several profiles to choose the best tutor for you. Whichever Arabic tutor you pick, they'll aim to tailor the lessons to your individual needs.
New to LanguaTalk? We'll give you a credit for a free trial session. Many, but not all, tutors offer these for free. If they do not, the price will be just 30 percent of their full lesson price, so you can still try a session at minimal cost.
Trial sessions last 30 minutes. They allow you to assess whether the tutor is a good fit for you, and get a feel for learning online. The tutor will assess your level and aim to understand your needs and interests so that they can customise any lessons you decide to take. You'll be encouraged to speak in Arabic as much as possible, but of course you can speak in English too!
If, after your trial session, you don't feel that the tutor is quite right for you, you can book a trial with another tutor for just 30 percent of their full lesson price.
The vast majority of students take 55-minute lessons. But some tutors also provide the option of 30-minute lessons. If they do, you’ll see this noted on their profile (below their pricing and above the ‘Buy Lessons’ button).
55-minute lessons are recommended for most students. In general, we only suggest considering 30-minute lessons if they’re for your child, or you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice.
The beauty of taking lessons online is that you can learn anytime, anywhere. When you choose a tutor, just check their calendar to make sure that they have available times that fit your schedule. Some tutors have limited availability as they already have a lot of students.
