Personal Description:
I am an Arabic linguistics PhD student at the Language and Linguistic Science Department of the University of York, UK. I hold a BA in English literature and linguistics as well as an MA in translation studies. My study makes me familiar with written Arabic and spoken Arabic in its different forms (dialects). This is why I am quite familiar with Egyptian, Syrian, Lebanese, Gulf and Sudanese Arabic. In addition, I am also a CELTA-trained teacher and an Assistant Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in the UK.
Tutoring Experience:
I have taught English as a foreign language for 10 years at Minia University, Egypt. I also taught Arabic to adults as well as young people for 5 years in England. I teach face to face and online.
Tutoring Approach:
My teaching depends on immersing you in enjoyable daily-life situations so that you can easily imitate and, after not too much effort, read, write and speak Arabic/English like a native speaker. Culture cannot be separated from language. So, I also immerse you in the main cultural aspects of Arabic/English-speaking countries in general and offer a brief background to language as reflected in culture. Also, I try to compare Arabic and English (as a language) and the culture represented by it with other languages, including French and German (languages that I am familiar with).

Many thanks.
From Ksenia (/5): (Casual Learner Arabic) As a beginner who was looking forward to start learning Arabic, I was very particular about finding a suitable tutor, as in many ways it could be a crucial issue – a person who direct the teaching process and with whose assistance you get the first real “feel” of the language. I can honestly say that Saudi has exceeded all my expectations. We have started pretty much with the alphabet and I can feel my knowledge and confidence growing rapidly with each lesson. Saudi is a highly-qualified tutor, he is extremely patient, accommodating and always reliable. He is very knowledgeable in numerous intricacies of the language and has a broad understanding of various aspects of culture, history, religious and social life in the Arabic-speaking world. His teaching methods are comprehensive and very professional and I find myself thoroughly enjoying every lesson! I would 100% recommend him to anyone who is interested in learning the Arabic language and discovering diverse cultures and nations it represents.
From Rawan (/5): (University Arabic) Dr.Saudi is one of the best teachers who have taught me .I am so lucky to be his student .I benefit from his knowledge.He is very honest in his teaching .He is very punctual.
From Emily (/5): (Intermediate Arabic) Saudi is a thoughtful and insightful teacher, always very hospitable and generous both with his knowledge and his time. Because of his expertise in linguistics, of European languages as well as Arabic dialects, he can help me understand how the structures of Arabic compare with languages that are more familiar to me. He is always happy to answer my questions and does so clearly and thoroughly.
Though we are focussing on Egyptian Arabic, Saudi takes care to help me recognise differences between Egyptian, Levantine and Gulf dialects, which suits my travel and research interests across North Africa and the Middle East. As I hoped when I found his profile on First Tutors, Saudi is helping me to gain insight into Egyptian culture and to understand the importance of Islam in the formation of Arabic.
Saudi is an excellent teacher - I would recommend him to anyone who is serious about learning Arabic and who wants to develop his/her understanding of Egyptian culture.

From Zara (/5): (Beginner Arabic) Saudi is an excellent teacher! With my haphazard routine he has been extremely patient and very accommodating. Above all of this, Saudi really does come down to a level that suits the pupil and starts his lessons from that point onwards. Saudi is clear in his instructions and articulates examples so they could be understood with clarity. Anyone looking to learn Arabic will be very happy and satified with Saudi as their teacher!
From Sinn (/5): (Beginner Arabic) Saudi is a great teacher, I am learning Arabic with him and being such a difficult language he has found the best ways to teach me both the written and verbal forms of Arabic in such a way that I am picking it up quite quickly. he has quite a technical approach to teaching which is fantastic considering how difficult the language is, I would highly recommend Saudi as a tutor
