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.
