- 1-on-1 lessons
- Native Arabic teachers
- Adults and children

Your own Arabic tutor
A private online Arabic tutor gives you something a class cannot: a teacher who watches, listens and adjusts in real time. Every minute of the lesson is spent on your reading, speaking and questions.
Our 1-on-1 Arabic lessons are taught live on video by native Arabic-speaking teachers. Whether you are learning the alphabet, speaking Egyptian Arabic, reciting the Quran or preparing for GCSE, the tutor builds the plan from your starting point and sets the pace.

Why 1-on-1 lessons work better
You learn a language by using it. In a private lesson, you do most of the talking.
Full attention
The tutor notices every mistake and every success, and responds straight away.
Your pace
Move on when you are ready, and slow down where something is hard.
More speaking time
No waiting for a turn. You read aloud and speak throughout the lesson.
A safe space to try
Shy learners often speak up in a private lesson, because nobody else is listening.

| Pace | Set by you | Set by the class average |
| Speaking practice | Throughout the lesson | A few turns each |
| Feedback | Immediate and personal | Limited, often later |

How to choose an Arabic tutor
Most people pick a tutor by price or by a photo. Neither tells you much. Here is what actually matters.
- Your goal first. A tutor who is great for Quran recitation may not be the right one for GCSE. Say what you need before you look at anyone.
- A native speaker who has taught learners like you. Knowing Arabic and teaching Arabic are different skills. Ask how they teach complete beginners, or children, or exam students.
- You should talk most of the time. If the tutor talks for forty minutes and you listen, you are watching a lecture, not having a lesson.
- Kind, clear correction. You need to be told when you are wrong. You also need to want to come back.
- A record of what you covered. A short note after each lesson keeps both of you honest about progress.
- An easy way to change. A good match is worth more than loyalty to the first tutor you meet.
That is why every student starts with a free trial lesson. You do not have to guess. You meet the tutor and decide.
A tutor marketplace or a private academy?
Both work. They suit different people, so here is the plain comparison.
| Alphabet Arabic Academy | Tutor marketplace | |
|---|---|---|
| Choosing a tutor | We match you after a free trial lesson | You browse many profiles and pick |
| Continuity | A fixed teacher, with a change if it is not right | Depends on the tutor you pick |
| Progress | A written note after every lesson | Up to the individual tutor |
| Pricing | Monthly plans, with 10% and 20% off for 3 and 6 months | An hourly rate set by each tutor |
| Range of choice | A small team, taught by Alphabet Arabic Academy since 2017 | Thousands of profiles |
If you want to compare many tutors and prices yourself, a marketplace gives you that. If you would rather have someone match you and then keep track of your progress, that is what we do.
What students say
Best Arabic academy I've tried. After 4 months I can now read the Quran with confidence. The teachers are patient and genuinely qualified.
Amina K.Toronto, Canada · Quran and Tajweed · 4 months
I needed Arabic for my NGO role in the Middle East. The Professional Arabic course was exactly right: practical, focused, and extremely good value.
David M.Washington DC, USA · Professional Arabic · 6 months
My 7-year-old daughter loves her lessons. She went from knowing nothing to reading simple words in 3 months. The teacher uses games and songs.

Questions students ask
How much does a private Arabic tutor cost?
Private lessons start from $35 per month. The price depends on the lesson length and how many lessons a week you choose. Pay for 3 months to save 10%, or for 6 months to save 20%. See the pricing page for every plan.
What is the difference between a private tutor and a group class?
In a private lesson, the teacher's whole attention is on you. You speak more, get corrected straight away and learn at your own pace. In a group class, time and attention are shared.
Can I change the tutor if I am not comfortable?
Yes. Tell us, and we will arrange a different teacher, subject to availability. Finding the right match matters more than keeping the first one.
Can I choose a male or female teacher?
Yes. Tell us when you book and we will arrange it, subject to availability.
Do I need to know any Arabic?
No. We teach complete beginners, and we also teach students who already read and speak Arabic. The free trial lesson shows the teacher where you are.
Is online tutoring safe for children?
Yes, with the right safeguards. Lessons are on video on our platform, teachers may not contact children outside it, and parents are welcome to sit in, and recordings can be reviewed by parents on request. Read our child safety policy for the full list.
How is this different from a tutor marketplace?
On a marketplace you browse many profiles and choose one yourself. Here we match you with a teacher after a free trial lesson, you keep that teacher, and you get a written note after every lesson. Marketplaces give you more choice up front. We give you less to sort through and more continuity.
How do I know a tutor is right for me?
Look for a teacher who talks less than you do, corrects you kindly and explains why. The free trial lesson is the test. If it does not feel right, tell us and we will arrange another teacher.
Can we try a private lesson before paying?
Yes. Book a free trial lesson. You meet a teacher, the teacher checks your level, and you get a recommendation for the right course.
