What clients and students say
Nawal is a wonderful Arabic teacher with a clear and supportive teaching style. Her lessons are enjoyable and very helpful. Highly recommended!
Nawal's lessons have been fantastic. Each session I find myself making significant improvement and becoming increasingly comfortable with the language. The topics we work on are all relevant to daily life, which is deeply appreciated. Could not recommend working with her more!
Working with Nawal was a great experience. She was professional, responsive and very attentive to the details and context of the project. The Arabic translation was accurate, natural and well adapted to the intended audience, which made a real difference to the final result. I would be happy to work with her again and highly recommend her translation services.
Nawal is a pleasure to work with. She understands the context behind the content, not just the words, and always delivers Arabic that feels natural and appropriate for the audience. She is professional, responsive and pays close attention to detail. I would definitely recommend working with her, especially for media and digital content.
Nawal is incredibly professional, helpful, and a true pleasure to work with. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she puts genuine care and thought into everything she does. Working with her was such a smooth and positive experience; I cannot recommend her enough!
Nawal stands out for her speed, precision, and reliability. She consistently delivers excellent work, even on the tightest deadlines. A true pleasure to work with.
Nawal is a highly efficient and reliable translator. She is also a talented linguist who constantly adds her touch which makes her texts more than just an accurate rendition of the source, but rather a well written piece in the target language. She’s a valuable addition to any team.
Nawal is a highly reliable and accurate translator who consistently delivers quality work on time. She has a strong understanding of context and produces clear, well-judged translations rather than relying on literal rendering. She is also proficient in using AI and modern translation technologies effectively and responsibly. Her professionalism, punctuality, and sound linguistic judgment make her a dependable member of any team she is a member of.
Nawal is very tech-savvy. She is able to write down all the content of our practice neatly during the lesson and sends me a well-structured lesson document right after. It was very useful for my revisions. I forgot to mention that her English and several other languages are also topnotch. It was a pleasure and very straightforward to learn from her. Apart from the classes, she also did an excellent work in translating our game app from English to Arabic and Turkish. Thanks to her superior language abilities, she was able to fully understand the context of the game app and the subtlety of the tone of the communication to ensure that our Arabic and Turkish versions are accurate, culturally relevant and concise. We truly appreciate her excellent work and look forward to work together again!
I recently had the pleasure of taking Arabic classes with Nawal. She brings incredible dedication, structure, and professionalism to her teaching. She effectively integrated multimedia into her curriculum, assigning targeted YouTube videos for independent listening practice that we later analyzed together during our sessions. This tailored, practical approach significantly accelerated my language learning and comprehension. Nawal is a highly effective instructor who truly cares about her students' progress.

Frequently asked questions
How do online Arabic lessons work?
Lessons are one-to-one over video call, scheduled at times that suit you. After each class you receive notes and practice material.
Is the trial lesson really free?
Yes. The trial is a chance to meet, talk about your goals and try a short lesson so you can decide whether my approach suits you. There's no obligation to continue.
How much do Arabic lessons cost?
Pricing depends on how often you want to meet and whether you choose a package. I share the options with you after the free trial, once we've agreed on a plan.
Do you offer lesson packages?
Yes. After the trial I'll suggest a package based on how often you want to meet. Packages are shared privately, not published online.
Which dialect do you teach?
I try to make Arabic as simple and practical as possible. If you don't have a specific dialect in mind, we can use a practical form of Arabic that is widely understood and choose the best approach based on your goals. If you have a specific dialect or country in mind, we can focus on that.
Should I learn Modern Standard Arabic or a dialect?
It depends on your goal. If you want to speak with people day to day, a spoken, practical form of Arabic is the natural start. If you need to read, write or work with formal Arabic, start with MSA. Many learners combine both, and we can design your plan that way.
