A Certified Arabic Tutor from the AUC| Egyptian& Modern Standard Arabic |10 Years of Experience

Ibrahim is an amazing teacher. His lessons are fun, relaxed and really enjoyable. I’ve learned a lot of Arabic especially vocabulary and how to form sentences in a short time. I would highly recommend Ibrahim to anyone looking to learn Arabic in an enjoyable and effective way.

I find Ibrahim an excellent teacher. I was trying other guys before him but I couldn't achieve what I did with him. Ibrahim is always prepared for lessons and running them the way so after lessons you still remember the topics. Definitely he is worth recommending.

Ibrahim is an excellent Arabic tutor—organized, patient, and always encouraging. His structured lessons make learning both effective and enjoyable. He tailors each session to build a strong foundation while keeping the lessons engaging. His patience and clear explanations help make even complex concepts easy to grasp. Highly recommend!

I have received tutoring from Ibrahim for over 4 years, and I can highly recommend him for learning Arabic. He's flexible and supportive of my specific goals.

I have been learning Arabic with Ibrahim for a year now and I have progressed a lot thanks to his methodic teaching style and curriculum. Highly recommend.

Ibrahim is an excellent teacher with a great teaching methodology. You can tell he has vast experience in teaching and does this for a living. He is very open to feedback and can adapt the lessons to your requirements. Highly recommended!

Why Ibrahim is trustworthy? First, his patience inspires deep-seated trust. I know because with my hearing impairment, my busy schedule which leaves less time for studying Arabic than I would like and my dogs who interrupt lessons more than they should, I have witnessed his patience. Ibrahim's expertise also reassures me that I am in the best of hands. He has the ability to gauge my preparation and comprehension on the spot such that our lessons are always properly paced. I never feel bored or overly pressured. Finally, Ibrahim is also steady and reliable; he has never canceled a lesson or failed to show up. This all means that when I am with Ibrahim, I am laser focused on learning Arabic and confident of the progress that I am making. I highly recommend Ibrahim as an Arabic teacher.

I have been taking Egyptian Arabic lessons with Ibrahim since 2019. Arabic was the first language that I was learning that involved a different script from English. He made the process of learning to read very easy in the beginning, and from there, I think that I've progressed much more steadily. Ibrahim has plenty of resources that he pulls from -- textbooks, videos, audio, etc., which keeps each class unique and interesting. He also does a great job of tying cultural aspects into his form of teaching, which I appreciate. Ibrahim is a very reliable teacher who I would highly recommend.

After 34 Egyptian Arabic lessons with Mr. Ibrahim, I can confidently say he is an excellent language tutor. I tried a number of arabic tutors prior, with varying results. Ibrahim stands out. He is very good at gauging your level and progress and modifying the lesson plans to move more quickly or slowly depending on your unique needs. He also ensures you get a healthy amount of speaking time, so you have ample opportunity to practice during lessons. While daunting at first, he eases you into using the language so it feels very natural, and commensurate with your level. Would highly recommend.

"A Dedicated and Inspiring Arabic Teacher" Learning Arabic with Ibrahim has been an incredible journey. His passion for teaching and deep knowledge of the language are truly inspiring. Ibrahim has a remarkable ability to break down complex grammar and concepts into clear, understandable lessons, making even the most challenging aspects of Arabic feel approachable. What sets him apart is his personalized approach. He takes the time to understand each student's learning style and adapts his teaching accordingly. His patience and encouragement create a supportive learning environment where one feels motivated to ask questions and grow. Ibrahim also shares cultural insights that bring the language to life, making the lessons not only educational but also enriching on a personal level. His enthusiasm is contagious, and his commitment to his students' success is evident in every class. If you're looking for an Arabic teacher who is knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely invested in your progress, Ibrahim is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

I have had Ibrahim teaching me twice a week for a few months now and I highly recommend him. He speaks as much as possible in arabic at at a level I can understand, and is very patient when teaching me grammar which is very much a weak point for me! As someone who tried only self study for a long time, I regret not getting a teacher sooner as my progress has really accelerated much more quickly since doing so- there is really no replacement for getting one on one guidance from a professional teacher; Ibrahim is well worth the investment!

Ibrahim is a highly professional tutor who always comes prepared with structured lesson plans. He explains new words and concepts very clearly, making them easy to understand. I have already learnt a lot and will continue to take classes with him. I highly recommend him.

Ibrahim is an exceptionally professional teacher. His subject knowledge is deep, and he delivers material in a way that is both easy to understand and internalize. In addition to his excellent expertise, he also provides valuable insights into everyday life in Egypt, its traditions, and its cultural norms. I highly recommend Ibrahim as an Arabic teacher. It’s genuinely difficult to find someone who speaks excellent English, possesses such deep knowledge of the subject, can explain Egyptian culture effectively, and remains patient throughout the learning process.

Got it! Here's the revised review for a one-on-one class:

I had the pleasure of learning Arabic with Teacher Ibrahim. His expertise and passion for teaching made the experience truly enjoyable. His teaching methods, which included interactive exercises and real-life conversations, made learning easy and fun. Teacher Ibrahim created a supportive and inclusive learning environment, always offering help and feedback to boost my confidence and skills. He also shared valuable cultural insights and historical context, enriching my understanding of the Arabic language and the Arab world. I highly recommend Teacher Ibrahim to anyone interested in learning Arabic.

Ibrahim is an amazing teacher, he is patient and very helpful. I like his teaching technique.
Surely I can recommend him as a fantastic teacher.

Ibrahim was very helpful in guiding me through the problems/errors that I encountered.

I have been studying with Ibrahim for almost 2 years now. Aside from being a genuinely nice person, he is an excellent teacher. I have grown from a complete beginner level to being able to navigate the streets of Cairo with decent ease. This too with him supporting my busy schedule offering a lot of flexibility and remaining committed to my learning. I hope to continue at this steady pace to improve my Arabic. I highly recommend Ibrahim and wish him the best in all his endeavours.

Having spent the last three years studying Egyptian Arabic with Ustaz Ibrahim, I can say that I have been extremely pleased with the progress that he has helped me to make. This is due to his rich experience of over a decade of teaching both English and Arabic. He is patient and reliable and has a talent for being able to help connect the dots in an otherwise challenging grammatical framework, and refining complexity through adequate use of examples. It is for this reason that I am happy to author this reference of recommendation for the benefit of anyone that may be at the beginning of their language learning journey, or that may already have gained proficiency and require that added professional finishing touch.

He's very patient & well mannered teacher. I have seen improvement in my own Arabic over the course of a year. He's guided me through MSA & is now teaching me Egyptian Arabic. I enjoy his lessons.

I have been studying Arabic with Ibrahim for more than 6 months now and I have appreciated that he adapted his teaching to suit my current level and goals that I have set for myself. I found that our lessons are engaging because Ibrahim has a way to teach me so that I don’t find learning the Arabic language too difficult. He is very patient and passionate about teaching Arabic. Our lessons involve a lot of student participation which helps me retain what I am learning and develop an understanding of the language. Ibrahim is able to establish an emotional and mental connection with me which gives me a lot of confidence and a sense of psychological safety.

I have taken colloquial Egyptian Arabic lessons from Ibrahim since the Summer of 2020. He is an outstanding teacher, and patiently explains (again and again, in my case!), always remembers where we last left off, provides reading, homework and vocabulary worksheets neatly organized and even includes the notorious missing words from the Kallimni Arabi textbooks. He is very easy to get along with, I have never had a conflict with him, he is always on time, flexible booking schedule, understands when emergencies (work or family) forces me to reschedule my appointment, has affordable rates, and accurately tracks payment.

I was referred to Ibrahim from one of my best friends who took colloquial Egyptian Arabic from him. Ibrahim also gave lessons to another friend of mine in London. Both gave raving reviews, and so do I. I have taken Arabic in college, and from tutors, while living in Egypt, but now I would not consider taking Arabic from anyone else.

As I have gotten to know Ibrahim over the last few years, I would trust him with much more than just teaching Arabic. A great guy with a great character.

It has been a pleasant experience learning Arabic with Ibrahim so far. He is patient and approaches the lessons with a good structure and study plan. He also makes use of interactive material so that lessons are never boring, and makes the effort to share on Egyptian culture.

Brother Ibrahim has been teaching me Arabic better than any other person could, and he has a very organized curriculum. 10/10 would recommend him!

Ibrahim is a fantastic and professional tutor! He goes at a reasonable pace, and the textbook - At-Takallum - is straight-forward and easy to follow. When it comes to grammar, Ibrahim explains the rules in an understandable way. I am half-way through the first textbook and have already learned so much! Ibrahim makes sure I understand a concept before moving on. He is very patient, punctual, and engaging. I would definitely recommend him as a tutor.

He's engaging, never misses a lesson and is very pedagogical.

As someone with no prior experience in Egyptian Arabic, my speaking and listening skills have improved significantly in the time that I have studied under Ibrahim. He adapts the pace of his teaching to ensure that his students fully understand the material before moving onto the next topic. Furthermore, I appreciate his willingness to share cultural and historical insights about Egypt that have contributed to my interest in the country.

Ibrahim is an excellent teacher! He provides both a great mix of listening, speaking and writing learning activities and a very practical, supportive learning environment. As a student, you feel pushed to learn and try out new competencies, and you are supported in doing so and gain valuable feedback that helps you to improve. He is very clear and concise. Doesn’t waste your time and always lectures with the intent to help you understand the material. He helped me understand many key concepts of the Arabic language, and he is patient and eager to help. I am especially excited about the current topics of the lessons, which nevertheless contain in-depth grammar of the Arabic language with the traditional Arabic terms and not with European terms. Recommending him is a no-brainer.

Ibrahim is THE arabic teacher, not just a teacher. I have been studying with him for a year now, and in this short time I can totally see the progress.

I'm learning the Egyptian dialect which makes a lot of Arabic speakers to be able to understand me and engage in conversation.

Nowadays I easily talk to people in my community, buy my regular groceries and even help some people find their way in my job using only Arabic which has been a huge accomplishment.

I enjoy to be able to talk to my native Arabic speaking friends as well, even they say it's amazing how much have I learned in such short time. I'm about to take a trip to Cairo and feel confident enough to find my way around the city by myself. Ibrahim has made this possible with his well structured lessons.

Ibrahim is always prepared and makes learning engaging, easy and structured. His lessons are well paced. He is not the type of teacher that just makes you memorize a dictionary, he actively makes you construct phrases, read, and to use the language that you acquire not just to memorize it.

He is also extra patient and always shows a very humane and humble character. Never has he missed a class and he is always on time. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Ibrahim is an excellent teacher. His teaching techniques are great. He is polite, and patient and makes the learning experience super fun and easy. He is very understanding and accommodating in terms of scheduling classes. I have been learning Arabic from him and it has been a rewarding experience for me. I strongly recommend Mr. Ibrahim.

It is real pleasure to work with Ibrahim. He is very dedicated, committed to doing the best for his students and is willing to take the time and effort to ensure a great learning experience.
Without a doubt, I recommend him as an educator with distinction.

I have been doing Egyptian Arabic with Ibrahim for a while now and he is a great teacher. I have made a lot of progress in a relatively short space of time, and I’m feeling so much more confident in my language skills and I can’t wait to go to Egypt again to speak it!
I highly recommend Ibrahim Sayed as a teacher.

frommore than 40 lessons with Ibrahim since 4 montahs i can testyfy he's very skillful, experienced, friendly, patient, and motivating, with a good selection of learning material, well prepared, and supporting a steady path of learning - highly recommended!

I have been having Arabic lessons with Ibrahim for almost a year now, and it has been a most rewarding experience. I began as a complete beginner and Ibrahim's lessons are still as intriguing as at the very start. His teaching style is engaging and you keep learning more and more not wanting to stop.
His schedule is flexible but at the same time he is very punctual. He provides all the needed materials, he builds extra vocabulary lists and he provides real life examples. Every lesson has a mix of grammar, vocabulary, speaking and writing exercises.
Overall he is an excellent teacher with a methodical teaching style, and as a last point I want to mention that is very helpful that apart from typing he writes free-hand onto the shared-screen/text which helps immensely especially in the early stages e.g. with the Arabic vowels.

I started learning Arabic with Ibrahim a couple of months ago and I am very happy with the progress I have made so far. Ibrahim is a reliable and very professional tutor, he's always well prepared and delivers the lessons in a well paced and interesting manner. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone willing tolerant Arabic.

I started studying Arabic a couple of years ago but found it very difficult to put the pieces together grammatically as well as speak. I started online lessons with Ibrahim and feel much more confident in my ability to initiate and respond to questions. Ibrahim is patient, has a good sense of humour and is very professional. Our lessons always start and finish on time and we stay on track. I highly recommend Ibrahim.

Ibrahim is a great teacher. He is patient and explains things clearly. He makes good use of technology by writing notes on the whiteboard.

I studied Arabic with Ibrahim for months using Skype. I wanted to use a certain textbook and he went out of his way to buy it so that he would have a copy. He was very accommodating with his availability and the time zone differences were never a problem. I recommend him because he is not only an effective teacher but someone who truly cares about you and your learning.

I've been studying Modern Standard Arabic with Ibrahim for over six months. Since that time, my Arabic has improved enormously but more importantly, he has been an incredibly patient and encouraging teacher. If I ever struggle with anything, he will find creative ways to help me continue learning. By far, the best language teacher I've ever had.

Ibrahim is a good teacher. Easy to talk with. And is explaining in a good and understandable way.

I have had over ten Egyptian Dialect lessons with Ibrahim and I will continue for many more. We quickly established a lesson plan using a known book series and haven't looked back! He is great about pausing to explain various concepts in the text but also adds extra cultural knowledge to our lessons. Looking forward to continued lessons with Ibrahim!

I´m a bloody beginner in learning Arabic and after doing some adult evening classes for learning the Arabic letters I started online lessons with Ibrahim. I´ve now taken nearly 40 hours in Egyptian Arabic with him and I have already learnt incredibly much I can use for the everyday life in Egypt.
I myself am a teacher and I can 100% recommend him.
I appreciate very much his learning method with a shared screen. He allows me to record the lessons, so that I can go through it after we have finished, as often as I want in my own pace. That´s absolutely helpful! On top I can contact him any time on WhatsApp when I have a question and he answers very quickly.
I´m always looking forward to the next lesson with Ibrahim.

Ibrahim has been tutoring me in Egyptian Arabic for several months, and I can confidently vouch for his abilities. He is a diligent and engaging teacher with a clear lesson plan and a great sense of humor. He is very responsive to my requests and goals, and I look forward to continuing to study with him.

Ibrahim is an excellent tutor, he uses books and other materials to help with his teaching, he is warm and friendly and his internet connection is perfect so it actually works really well to do this online

These past two years of Arabic lessons have been a blast. Ibrahim lets me go at my own pace as I learn this beautiful language. My work schedule is very hectic and he still finds time for me. My favorite thing about him as a tutor is his patience and how he never forgets to correct my pronunciation. He also will teach me things about Egyptian culture from time to time that will help me understand the roots of the words.

No matter where you are in the language learning process, Ibrahim is the teaching professional to help you reach your goals. Language learning can seem daunting, but ibrahim is patient and guides you through the basics. The course is well planned and can be tailored to your needs. Although the course is structured Mr. Salman is always willing to deviate from the book to give insight into the culture or further your understanding. Additionally, the learning materials, both audio and visual, allow you to improve on your own time between lessons. Scheduling and working with Ibrahim online is easy as well. I've learned a lot about Arabic and the Egyptian culture and am pleased with how quickly I am learning, especially as a native English speaker. My experience as a student of Ibrahim's has been great. He is highly recommended.

I am a beginner to Arabic and have been taught by Ibrahim for several months. Ibrahim is an excellent teacher with a structured approach to each lesson and a patient attitude.

I have been taking lessons with Ibrahim for around six months and recommend him highly.

He is patient, engaging and has excellent knowledge. His resources are great and he give you a clear and concise route to language proficiency.

Very happy to have him as my teacher.

I have taken several Arabic lessons with Ibrahim. He is always punctual and keeps the class moving. I would recommend Ibrahim to anyone seeking a teacher or tutor.

I started studying Arabic with ustadh Ibrahim in June, about 9 months ago now. When I started, I could barely read the simplest of texts, let alone have a conversation in Arabic. By then, I had been trying to learn the language on my own for 2 years with very little results. I eventually decided to contact ustadh Ibrahim for classes, which he thankfully agreed to. He has always been punctual, prepared, engaging, extremely skilled in explaining difficult concepts and he clearly cares about both the material and the students he teaches. He is always looking to improve his classes and it definitely shows!

I have now taken 30 hours of classes with Ibrahim, and I am very grateful for his patience and sense of humor. He is extremely punctual and focused - we have covered a large amount of material in a short time, and I'm gaining familiarity with the pronunciation and the script. Like anything, I have good days when I'm alert and things feel straightforward, and days when I can't decipher the words and my tongue stumbles over every syllable. Ibrahim is extremely patient. He encourages me to focus on one thing at a time, to repeat the tricky parts, and to complete homework that improves my understanding of grammar. I'm looking forward to the next 30 lessons!'

Having spent the last two years studying Arabic with Ibrahim, I can say that I have been extremely pleased with the progress that he has helped me to make due to his rich experience of over a decade of teaching both English and Arabic. He is both patient and reliable and has a talent for being able to help connect the dots in an otherwise challenging grammatical framework, refining the complexity through adequate use of examples.
