With over a decade of experience teaching Arabic to students of various ages and learning styles, I am passionate about helping learners achieve fluency in both colloquial and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). I graduated with honors from the University of Texas at Austin, where I majored in Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures (Arabic) and Psychology on a full-ride scholarship. I had the privilege of studying under the esteemed Mahmoud Al-Batal and Kristen Brustad, the authors of the prolific Al-Kitaab textbook series. Additionally, I hold a degree in translation and interpretation, bringing professional expertise to my teaching practice.

My approach is uniquely informed by my background in translation, interpretation, and psychology. I present Arabic in a structured and straightforward manner, making it easy for students to absorb and understand. I customize my courses to align with each student's interests, facilitating optimal retention and engagement. I prioritize clear goal-setting and transparency, guiding students on their path to Arabic mastery.

Having lived in the Arab world, I specialize in the Levantine dialects (Syrian, Lebanese, Jordanian, and Palestinian) as well as MSA. As someone who became fluent in Arabic as a second language, I understand firsthand the challenges English speakers face when learning Arabic allowing me to help my students avoid common pitfalls and accelerate their learning process.

I am dedicated to tutoring students in Arabic language and culture, and I strive to make lessons relevant and practical for real-life application. Whether you prefer in-person or online lessons, I am flexible to accommodate your needs. My lessons are tailored to each student's abilities and goals, ensuring a personalized and effective learning experience.

My courses are intensive and rewarding, with a recommendation of at least two sessions per week. I am committed to making your Arabic learning experience both efficient and enjoyable. Contact me today to start your path to Arabic fluency!

Highly skilled and knowledgeable tutor

Aaron is an exceptional tutor for the Arabic language. He provides a professional, thoughtful and methodical approach to his instruction to meet you where you are and ensure continuous development and improvement. His approach is based on a strong academic foundation, which in turn, has enabled me to build a solid platform for the language. This academic perspective is also combined with a practical approach, which is essential as I prepare for my next business visit to the Middle East. Aaron is a pleasure to work with, and after several months of instruction I look forward to continuing on this journey with him.

Clearly invested in his students.

In our first lesson we reviewed the alphabet, and practiced pronouncing written words. Aaron is clearly invested in the learning of his students, and came prepared with a whole pre-made quizlet set.

Highly recommend

Aaron was super accommodating, flexible and a great communicator. Really knows his Arabic, yet makes students feel at ease. Went above and beyond in very first session to spend extra time preparing for an upcoming quiz. Positive and encouraging!

Comfortable

We had technical difficulties but we managed to communicate and he was a great teacher! I understood right away he was able to understand me when I would compare it with Spanish. I am looking forward to more lessons I know I'll be able to keep up with the way he teaches.

Encouraging and Patient Arabic Teacher

Aaron is a great teacher! He created study sets specifically tailored to my interests and learning preferences, and he is always patient and encouraging. He not only speaks Arabic super well, he also understands the intricacies of how to teach it well, which is hard to find in a tutor. I feel super optimistic about improving my Arabic with Aaron!
