Stop studying Arabic.
Start speaking it.
(yes, out loud. that's the whole point)
Personal lessons built around your life — your goals, your jokes, your plans in Egypt. Not a textbook's. Whether you want to read classical texts or chat — يعني, actually chat — in the streets of Cairo, I've got you covered.
Their words, not mine
Real students, in their own words.
"I started with no prior knowledge, so we began with the alphabet, and Maie never rushed me or made me feel like I was falling behind. Now I can read Arabic to a good level and feel quite confident reading the Qur'an as well. Going from not knowing the alphabet to reading Arabic with minimal errors is something I could have never imagined for myself."
"The Arabic language is very daunting as an English speaker, but Maie makes it simple and engaging. Her unique techniques keep learning fun, and I'm always excited for our next session."
"In just two short months, with minimal time commitment, I am already able to start reading. Maie's structured approach makes my dream of speaking, reading, and eventually writing Arabic feel achievable."
"Maie is incredibly kind and patient, creating a supportive environment. From the start, she took the time to understand my goals and tailored her teaching pace to help me achieve them."
