Personal Description:
I am a native Arabic teacher and studied the language at university. I have experience of teaching adults of different abilities for whom Arabic is not their native tongue and children in schools in my home country. I am able to teach both Modern Standard and dialect (Syrian, Lebanese, Egyptian and Saudi Arabian).
Teaching Experience:
I taught Arabic for 8 years to school children in my home country (ages 13 to 15).
I have also taught adults Arabic as a second (or third language) as a private tutor.
Teaching Approach:
My approach is very much dependent on the wishes of each individual as to what they want to learn and focus on. I endeavour to speak Arabic for the majority of my lessons, even at beginner level. However I am of course able to explain points in English to clarify and assist the lesson where necessary.

IbrahimFrom Rebecca (5/5): Absolutely brilliant lessons. He is a committed, natural teacher who is well-prepared for lessons and cares about his students. Hire this man.
Reply from: Ibrahim: Thank you very much Rebecca! Very kind of you!
From Lutfi (/5): Ibrahim is a knowledgeable and flexible teacher. He was able to structure lessons in a way that suited me, for instance providing conversational topics and exercises that catered to my interests in particular aspects of middle eastern history and culture.
He is very polite, and communicates well between lessons via email. He was able to accommodate the demands of my job on a weekly basis, moving the lesson times if needed.

From Christy (/5): Ibrahim was a fanstastic tutor. I cannot express how pleased I am that I was lucky in enough to find him. I wanted to learn Arabic because I was doing some voluntary work in Athens with refugees. I am a teacher and lecturer myself and I can honestly say that Ibrahim's skills, patience, creativity and knowledge are some of the best I've seen. He not only helped me to learn a very difficult language, the vocabulary and grammatical constructions, but also to have confidence in learning and to enjoy it. I looked forward to our lessons every week. Ibrahim went above and beyond this. At the time I was writing a novel on the experience of refugees and he helped me enormously with this research, as my characters were Arabic he read through my manuscript with me, giving me advice and suggestions, he helped me to understand and appreciate the culture and the people I was writing about, in a way that I would never have been able to do if I hadn't met Ibrahim. My novel has now been bought by major publishers in the U.K, USA, and all around Europe. Thank you Ibrahim!! For your time and compassion, for your patience and understanding and for the belief you had in me all those times I wanted to give up. You are one in a million!
Reply from: Ibrahim: Thanks you very much, appreciate it
From Peter (/5): Ibrahim,
Thanks once again for your help. You were very patient and thorough in the investigations you made for me, and took time to explain to me your findings.
As you suggested I have contacted the banks concerned, but they tell me there is no possibility of recovering any of the money since I sent it willingly (which is true).
I am not going to take the matter any further.
Best wishes for the future.
Peter

From Zahra (/5): I contacted Ibrahim a few years ago for help in writing a formal letter to my embassy and he eased the task for me, was very supportive and warm and gentle in his dealings with me.
He replies so quickly to my queries as I needed to contact him last year regarding help with Arabic translation and he was so efficient and helpful.
On top of that, I realise that he is consistent in his dealings as he provided me free service at the beginning of this year regarding transaction. So I would highly recommend him as he is genuine, very professional and welcoming tutor. He cares and makes sure that his tutees are welcomed and helped enough.

From Humza (/5): Excellent contact to provide language information and very prompt in contacting and communicating. Highly recommended.
Reply from: Ibrahim: Thanks you very much Humza, speak soon.
From Maggie (/5): We have found Ibrahim to be an excellent tutor for our son who is learning Arabic at university as part of his Modern Languages degree. The Skype tutorials are focussed on grammar and spoken Arabic. Ibrahim is completely reliable and is good at explaining things, he is a great teacher. Our son is delighted with his progress.
Reply from: Ibrahim: Thank you very much Maggie for your feedback and I'm thrilled to hear that Ben is happy with his progress.
Many thanks

From Cherry (/5): Whilst studying Arabic with Ibrahim, I discovered a lot more about the different cultures and meanings of the language… The outlook and perception on 'Middle Eastern Culture'. Ibrahim took the time to explain certain aspects, and especially the explanations and different meanings of certain words and phrases, of which I had previously ought to have known. The tuition was always at my pace, never rushed, and always allowed me to ask questions, and would happily help out if I was stuck 'out of class' but needed a translation. I would recommend Ibrahim to a friend or anyone wishing to study the Arabic language
Reply from: Ibrahim: Thank you very much
From Polly (/5): Ibrahim is an absolutely brilliant tutor - encouraging, patient and always able to help with my learning process! The lessons are taught at a pace that suits me, and I feel I have made real improvement with my Arabic since I started having lessons with Ibrahim. I would thoroughly recommend Ibrahim to anyone wanting to learn Arabic!
From Olivia (/5): Ibrahim was an excellent tutor extremely patient and knowledgeable about everything. I would recommend him to anyone! I've had arabic tutors in the past and he is most definitely the best tutor I've ever been taught by!
From Tom (/5): No tuition took place. Tutor unable to come to me. This was not a refusal, but with the asking price of £20/h, I couldn't afford travelling costs on top. I assumed by clicking the 'Tutor Travels' box, that the tutor would be warned of this (which the system didn't do), and that the cost included any travel expenses.
Reply from: Ibrahim: Tom, I did not refuse to travel to you. The issue preventing us in having tuition was due to your very limited availability which was different to what you had suggested in your initial contact email. I would have been very happy to teach you and travel to you, had that not been an issue, for the price I quote.
From Carolinezerri (/5):
Reply from: Ibrahim: I am delighted that my method in teaching has got an excellent result, and my students found it helpful to improve their language skills.
