Ali’s classes are always interesting, interactive and fun. I’m learning something new every lesson that I’m able to practice with my language exchange buds.

Ali is a great teacher. During his classes, the content is always relevant and interesting and I always learn a lot. The content is relevant and interesting because he asks what I want to learn about and then we focus on exactly that. The classes also have a really nice structure to ensure I get both repetition and variation. I told Ali early on that I only want to use Arabic during class, even though I'm a beginner. This works really well since Ali is great at explaining new words using images, body language, objects in the room and even his acting skills to help me understand new words/expressions/phrases. And I think that's why I learn so quickly, we're using the language and we're only talking about things I want to talk about. So tell Ali what you want to learn and you'll find yourself speaking Arabic a lot quicker than you thought.

I’ve been learning Arabic with Ustadh Ali for the past five years, and I’ve seen a huge improvement in my Arabic during that time. Ustadh Ali is an incredibly patient, calm and supportive teacher. One of the things I appreciate most about his teaching style is that he gives me time to think and work things out in Arabic rather than simply providing the answers. He’s excellent at correcting my mistakes, explaining things clearly and making sure I’ve properly understood the lesson before moving on. We regularly review homework and revisit areas where I need more practice, which really helps reinforce my understanding. He’s also someone who genuinely pushes me to improve and challenges me to become more confident and independent in using Arabic. I’ve also had the opportunity to visit him in person a few times, and his approach is just as thoughtful and encouraging. He consistently encourages me to think in Arabic rather than constantly translating from English.

Wonderful class! We are so happy to study with Ali, who is a really dedicated and effective teacher. We very much appreciate that Ali keeps track of the new vocabulary and brings it back in the following class, which is great to learn and remember.

Excellent lesson. Stayed in target language the entire time, and adjusted the lesson in real time to my level while challenging with new words and topics.

Ali is an excellent instructor. He is encouraging and patient. He is always prepared and organized. And he has a good sense of humor.
