I am passionate about giving back these lessons the same way I was able to receive them! I have taught students of many different ages from as little as 6 years old to as old as 16/17. I love teaching all ages in subjects such as reading and math, especially when it comes to the SATs. My philosophy is to never assume. I approach every student as a blank slate where I do not know about their prior knowledge, and as such, I make it a point to explain everything I teach thoroughly to ensure they have a strong foundation. With patience and understanding, I grow with my students to assist them in getting the most possible out of their education with me. Hobbies: art, travel, reading, writing, books, traveling, music

I am a graduate of Brigham Young University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in International Relations with an emphasis in Middle Eastern Studies and Arabic. As part of my coursework, I studied Arabic for three years and spent a semester in Amman, Jordan. After graduating, I worked on a U.S. Senate campaign, then interned at a think tank and congressional office in Washington, DC. While at the think tank, I co-authored an article that was published in US News and World Report. I am currently pursuing my juris doctorate (JD) at the University of Georgia School of Law.

Frequently Asked Questions

Arabic verb conjugation is notoriously complex because verbs change based on subject, gender, tense, and mood—often with root letter changes that don't follow predictable patterns. A tutor breaks this down systematically, teaching you to recognize root patterns (like the three-letter triliteral system) and practice conjugations in context rather than memorizing isolated tables. This approach builds intuition for how verbs work across different situations, making conjugation feel logical instead of arbitrary.

MSA is the formal written standard used in media, literature, and official communication, while dialects (Egyptian, Levantine, Gulf, etc.) are what native speakers use daily. A tutor helps you choose based on your goals—MSA if you need formal proficiency or plan to study Arabic literature, or a specific dialect if you're learning for travel or connecting with a particular community. Many students benefit from learning MSA as a foundation, then adding conversational dialect skills with a tutor who understands both systems.

In a classroom, you might speak for just a few minutes per class; with a tutor, you get sustained conversation practice tailored to your level and interests. A tutor can correct your pronunciation, grammar, and word choice in real-time, model natural speech patterns, and adjust difficulty on the fly—creating a safe space to make mistakes and build confidence. This consistent, personalized speaking practice is essential for developing fluency and accent awareness, especially since Arabic pronunciation includes sounds unfamiliar to English speakers.

Arabic vocabulary is challenging because words often have multiple related forms (noun, verb, adjective) derived from the same root, plus formal vs. colloquial versions. A tutor teaches you to learn words in context and by root family rather than isolated lists, so you understand how forms connect. They also use spaced repetition and retrieval practice—reviewing vocabulary across multiple lessons and in conversation—which research shows dramatically improves long-term retention compared to cramming.

Arabic script connects letters differently depending on position in a word, and vowel marks (diacritics) are often omitted in everyday writing, making reading and writing both tricky. A tutor teaches you to recognize letter forms in context, builds muscle memory through guided writing practice, and helps you understand when diacritics matter (like in formal texts or when ambiguity could arise). They also explain grammar rules like agreement and word order as they apply to written Arabic, bridging the gap between reading comprehension and actual writing.

Arabic is deeply tied to Islamic history, literature, poetry, and diverse regional cultures—understanding these contexts makes language learning richer and more meaningful. A tutor can weave cultural elements into lessons: discussing classical poetry to illustrate grammar, explaining idioms rooted in Arab traditions, or exploring media and current events in Arabic. This immersion-style approach not only makes learning more engaging but also helps you understand why native speakers express ideas certain ways, accelerating both comprehension and natural speech patterns.

Arabic listening is hard because native speech is fast, pronunciation varies by dialect, and formal Arabic sounds quite different from spoken versions. A tutor exposes you to authentic audio at controlled speeds, teaches you to recognize common patterns and contractions, and explains regional pronunciation differences. They also practice active listening strategies with you—like identifying key words before full comprehension—building your ear gradually so you can eventually follow natural conversations and media without translation.

Arabic grammar has formal rules (especially in MSA) that don't always match how natives actually speak, which can confuse learners. A skilled tutor teaches you the rules as a foundation, then shows you how native speakers bend or simplify them in real conversation—explaining the difference between textbook Arabic and living Arabic. This dual approach prevents you from sounding overly formal or robotic, while still giving you the grammatical framework to understand written texts and construct your own sentences correctly.
