Marwa always challenges me to speak in Arabic the whole time, but is very supportive when I need help on certain words.
My name is Marwa Mousa, a native Arabic speaker from Egypt. My Passion for Arabic language led me to change my life and career away from a Software Engineer to a Professional Arabic language tutor for non-natives. Teaching isn’t just a job for me, but a huge passion for Arabic and seeking to share it with the world.
I am a professional, friendly, patient, flexible, encouraging, motivating and well-organized tutor. I speak English fluently. I have many hobbies such as reading, photography, walking, being outdoors enjoying the nature, learning new skills and volunteering and charitable activities.

Teaching Approach
My Teaching Approach:
• I provide well-structured lessons according to my student’s level, needs and goals.
• I support my students and help them to practice the language skills (writing, speaking, listening & reading).
• I use a wide range of learning materials and give different activities for homework assignments.
• I do a small revision in beginning of each lesson and give tests frequently.
• I like to share with my students some aspects of Arabic culture, customs & traditions.
Learning Arabic language is an amazing journey, and I am sure you will enjoy it as long as you have a strong will and a real desire. Truly, it is my pleasure to be your guide in this journey.
