Your Teacher

Taught by someone who truly knows the language

Arabic Language lessons are taught by Shaeeb Ali, who studied Arabic Language and Literature in Cairo, Egypt and Islamic Sciences in Saudi Arabia. His teaching is rooted in classical tradition while remaining practical and accessible for modern learners of all ages.

He takes particular care with pronunciation from the very first lesson — a small investment that pays enormous dividends as you progress. Lessons may also be taught by Umm Muādh depending on availability and preference.

ش
Shaeeb Ali
Arabic & Islamic Studies
Patient, methodical, and deeply knowledgeable. Shaeeb has a particular talent for making the structure of Arabic feel logical and accessible — even for complete beginners who feel daunted by the script.

How long does it take to learn Arabic?
It depends on your starting level, lesson frequency, and how much revision you do between lessons. Most students see meaningful progress within 4–6 weeks. Reaching a solid intermediate level typically takes 12–18 months of consistent study.
Modern Standard or Classical Arabic?
Our programme focuses on Classical Arabic (Fusha) — the form used in the Qur'ān, Islamic texts, and formal communication. This is the most beneficial form for Muslims and forms the basis of all Arabic dialects.
Can I combine Arabic with Qur'aan Reading?
Yes — many students combine Arabic Language with Qur'aan Reading or Tajweed. Your teacher will help you manage both and make the connections between them clear and meaningful.
Is this suitable for children?
Absolutely. We teach children from age 7 and adapt pace, materials, and style to suit younger learners. Many parents find children actually pick up Arabic faster than adults.
What if I already know some Arabic?
Your free trial includes a level assessment. If you have existing knowledge we will start you at the right point — you will never be made to repeat things you already know.
