Find an Arabic tutor near me in Farnham Common

Written Arabic relies on 28 core letters that flow from right to left across the page.

• Six letters never connect to the following letter: Alif (ا), Dāl (د), Dhāl (ذ), Rā (ر), Zāy (ز), and Wāw (و).
• Each letter has up to four shapes: isolated, initial, medial, and final.
• Three letters can also act as long vowels: Alif (ā), Wāw (ū), and Yā (ī).

Short vowels appear as small marks above or below the consonant, not as full letters.

Mastering these 28 letters is the first real milestone in reading Arabic confidently.

Private Arabic lessons in Farnham Common usually range around £11/h for a single session.

This rate can vary based on several factors:

• The student's level (complete beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• The tutor's qualifications and experience (formal training, dialect specialisation, professional background)
• Session duration and regularity (single sessions, weekly packages, intensive courses)
• The way you learn (online via video call, face-to-face at home, or at the tutor's location)

Booking multiple sessions often unlocks a better price per lesson.

You may find teachers who offer a no-obligation first session to test their approach.

The toughest parts are usually the verb patterns and the right-to-left alphabet.

• Grammar relies on a root-and-pattern system: three consonants form a root, and vowels plus prefixes create meaning.
• The script flows right to left, and each letter changes shape depending on its position in a word.
• Sounds like ع (ʿayn) and ح (ḥā) have no English equivalent, so pronunciation needs ear training.

A private tutor can spot your weak points and give targeted exercises to overcome them.
