About Me

Hello! My name is Mohamed Abdelaaty, and I am a certified native Arabic teacher, curriculum developer, and award-winning Arabic novelist from Cairo, Egypt.

I have more than 16 years of experience teaching Arabic to non-native speakers from all over the world, including university students, diplomats, researchers, journalists, business professionals, and language enthusiasts.

Throughout my career, I have taught students from institutions such as Sorbonne University, Sciences Po, INALCO, the University of Lyon, Duke University, Georgia Tech, and many others. I have also worked as a Curriculum Development Coordinator, designing Arabic courses, learning materials, assessments, placement tests, and interactive educational content.

I teach both Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Egyptian Colloquial Arabic (ECA), from complete beginner level to advanced learners. Whether your goal is conversation, reading and writing, grammar, professional communication, media Arabic, literature, or academic Arabic, I can build a personalized learning path that fits your needs.

My lessons are highly structured but never boring. I combine conversation, reading, writing, listening, grammar, and cultural insights to help students develop real communicative ability while understanding how Arabic is actually used in real life.

As an award-winning novelist and professional writer, I also bring a unique perspective to Arabic language, literature, storytelling, and culture. Many students enjoy learning not only the language itself, but also the rich cultural world behind it.

What you can learn with me:

✓ Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)
✓ Egyptian Arabic (Cairo Dialect)
✓ Arabic Reading & Writing
✓ Arabic Grammar
✓ Speaking & Conversation
✓ Media Arabic
✓ Literature-Based Arabic
✓ Business & Professional Arabic
✓ Exam & Proficiency Preparation
✓ Customized Learning Programs

If you are looking for a patient, experienced teacher who creates personalized lessons and helps you enjoy the learning process, I would be happy to work with you.
