Ahlan wa-sahlan and welcome! This tutoring course, 1:1 Introduction to Arabic (MSA Writing & Levantine Dialect Speaking), is aimed at beginners who wish to learn for the first time or strengthen their foundation in the Arabic language. Over a potential 9-week period, this course will follow the schedule below to cover all the basics for writing MSA and speaking the dialect of Arabic from the Levant region (Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine). At the start of our journey, I will assess your needs, and we will determine together where in the syllabus is the best place to start. I will offer personalized instruction and generous feedback to nurture your Arabic journey so that it is a long and fruitful one! You do not need to commit to all of the 9 weeks upon signing up, but the lessons will build on each other to provide you with a wide overview of the Arabic Alphabet, basic writing, and practical conversation. After the completion of the schedule, lessons can extend to more advanced topics on a personalized, case-by-case basis.

I have been a secondary educator for 8 years, mostly in mathematics. I have taught both in-person in classroom settings and tutored in-person and online. My educational background, however, is in the study of the Arabic language. At the University of Notre Dame, I majored in Arabic for my undergraduate BA and spent a 5 month semester living abroad in Amman, Jordan my junior year. I went back to school to receive my MA in Near and Middle Eastern Studies with Intensive Arabic from SOAS University of London in 2019, and shortly thereafter, I moved back to Amman for a year to strengthen my speaking of the Amiyah dialect.
