As a native speaker of English learning Arabic as a beginner, Sam has been a wonderful tutor for me. He understands the pitfalls that English speakers face when learning Arabic and is able to break down the language in a way that helps me understand. He is patient, encouraging, and has created engaging lessons that are enjoyable and appropriately paced. He has created his own curriculum with great visuals and practice exercises. Sam is a tutor who will meet you where you are regarding your proficiency and will build your skills up from there. He has a great sense of humor too and I always leave his lessons feeling like I made progress. I honestly don’t think I could have asked for a better tutor.
Sam has been my teacher for some time now and I cannot recommend him enough. He is a master of the language, yet he is able to teach Arabic to all levels. In our classes we mix between a popular textbook and also a curriculum (with accompanying material) produced by Sam himself. If English is your first language then I highly recommend Sam as he is able to teach and convey this language in a manner that is easily understandable to the English speaker.

Sam is smart, engaged but easy going. My level and confidence have increased a lot. It has been a pleasure studying with him.
my daughter had one lesson and really took to Sam's way of teaching. I will be setting up more lessons.

Sam is a modest, educated, and stoic instructor who is well-versed in Arabic and the cultural realities of the Middle East. I found him kind, understanding, and capable of demystifying the Arabic language's complex grammar and syntactic rules. Furthermore, he understands the socio-cultural context and intricacies of thought and speech in the United States. If you're from the US and English is your first language, you'll want a teacher who understands the difficulties of learning a foreign language. Give it a try by arranging a lesson; you will not be disappointed.
Sam has been teaching my 8 year old son for about 2 months now and my son absolutely loves it. He says it’s his favorite class of the day. Sam is patient kind and great at tutoring. He relates well to the kids so they can not only learn but enjoy learning also. He is great with helping out with any scheduling conflicts. I highly highly highly recommend Sam if you want to learn Arabic in a proper way with proper lesson plans. Thank you Sam.

Sam is an excellent tutor who conveys (what I would think to be a complex language) in a simple manner makes it so much easier to understand. His sincerity shows through his teaching. By the way he is patient and calm has helped me absorb and retain information faster. Highly recommended!
Sam is teaching both my son and I Arabic. He is always well prepared and organised for each lesson with plenty of learning material to share. He also provides study material for further learning should you so wish. Being a native Enlgish speaker I find my son is able to relate to Sam much easier than other online Arabic tutors. I have seen ample improvement in my son and I's Arabic learning journey.
