About Mostafa


Bio

I love learning languages, and I’ve naturally picked up four: Modern Standard Arabic, Berber, French, and English. Teaching students from diverse backgrounds has been incredibly rewarding for me. When it comes to learning a new language, I believe a personalized approach combining the Communicative Approach with a genuine desire to learn works best.

I love learning languages, and I’ve naturally picked up four: Modern Standard Arabic, Berber, French, and English. Teaching students from diverse backgrounds has been incredibly rewarding for me. When it comes to learning a new language, I believe a personalized approach combining the Communicative Approach with a genuine desire to learn works best.

Just being in a place where the language is spoken isn’t enough. You need to pay attention to how native speakers communicate, you need to have the intention to learn that language. This applies whether you’re learning remotely, in a class, or with a tutor. If you really want to speak the language, actively listen, note new words, and practice using them. if you focus only on communicating your ideas, the learning process will be slower than the one implemented in the first case.

In my experience, intentionally learning how others speak is the most effective way to learn a new language. Over the past 12 years, this approach has helped my students improve their speaking, listening, and overall learning abilities without feeling overwhelmed.
Growing up in Morocco, which is culturally and linguistically diverse, I learned how speaking the language of others open doors to better communicate with them and better understand them.
I have a Master’s degree in Teaching French as a second language in a multicultural environment and a Bachelor’s degree in Islamic Studies.
Between 2012 and 2024 I worked in French Academy in DC, King Abdullah Academy in Herndon VA, and in the elementary public school in Morocco.
I taught student from different background and different levels. I taught pre-K12 students in Morocco and in the United States, and I also taught adults in the Washington DC area in addition to my online students.

Feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss your goals or have questions about my classes. I’d be happy to help you make significant progress in your language learning journey! :)

Highly recommended

I have studied French with Mostafa B for 3 years in a different platform. I can say that he taught me very well and I achieved at least a B2 level. I'm very glad that Mostafa B restarted teaching online and we already had our first session on Wyzant. Mostafa B is very patient and diligent and I highly recommend him as a language tutor.

Best Arabic teacher

I've been learning Arabic with Mostafa since the beginning. I tried other teachers but none were as good! Mostafa has a true love and interest in languages, looking for the roots of words, building bridges between languages and dialects. He's also very patient and a good listener, so he's able to shape the class according to your wishes and needs. 100% recommended!!

A competent and effective teacher

I am happy to be back with my teacher Mostafa who for a year taught me Standard Arabic once a week. I appreciate his structured teaching, his clear grammar explanations and his patience. Marianne / Copenhagen

Knowledgeable and patient teacher

Mostafa is a great teacher with patience. He is a professional teacher in public schools for many years. Naturally he knows how to teach. With him, I learned Arabic language including grammar, vocabulary and speaking. I wish to continue learning with him.
