Who this is for

Prepare for study, work or life in the Middle East

Whether you are moving to the region, studying Arabic at university, or simply want somewhere to speak it every week, private lessons let us build the course around your actual reason for learning.

Lessons run from complete beginner to advanced, and focus on the Arabic that matters most to you.

  • Speak Levantine more naturally — the dialect you will actually hear in Jordan, Palestine, Syria and Lebanon.
  • Build conversation and listening rather than collecting vocabulary you never use.
  • Prepare for travel or relocation before you arrive, so your first weeks are easier.
  • Support university Arabic — a place to practise what your degree does not have time for.
  • Keep a regular weekly rhythm instead of studying in bursts and forgetting.
  • Learn from home, at a pace and a time you set.
Why Misbah online

A school, not a marketplace

Booking a tutor from a platform gets you an hour with a stranger. Here you get a teacher who stays with you, and a centre behind them.

Every session is designed around you

Your exact level, your goals, your interests and your weekly availability shape the plan — not a fixed syllabus that everyone works through at the same speed.

The same teachers as our classroom

You are taught by the Ammani teachers who teach at our centre in Jabal Al-Weibdeh, each with years of experience teaching Arabic to non-native speakers.

The same teacher every week

You are matched once and stay matched. Nobody has to re-learn your level, your accent or your goals each time you log in.

Conversation from the first lesson

Speaking is the point. Sessions are built so that you talk, get corrected, and try again — which is exactly what an app cannot do.

Continue in person if you move here

Many students start online and later join us in Amman. Your teacher and your progress carry over, so you continue rather than restart.

Getting set up

What you need

No special software, no licence to buy, nothing to install.

A computer

A laptop or desktop works best — a bigger screen makes reading Arabic script far easier than a phone.

Google Chrome

Everything runs in the browser. There is nothing to download and no account to create beforehand.

A microphone

Built-in is fine, but a simple headset makes a real difference when your teacher is correcting pronunciation.

A stable connection

Nothing exotic. If you can hold a normal video call, you can take a lesson.

Common questions

Before your first lesson

How many hours a week should I book?
Two to four hours a week suits most people studying alongside work. If you are preparing to move to the region or working towards a deadline, eight or more hours a week moves much faster — and costs less per hour. Your trial-lesson teacher will give you an honest recommendation.
Do I have to commit to a fixed number of weeks?
No. Private lessons are booked around your availability rather than fixed terms. Tell us how many hours a week you want and we build the schedule from there.
What time zone do you teach in?
Our teachers are in Amman, but we schedule around you. Tell us where you are and which hours work, and we match you with a teacher whose availability fits your week.
Should I learn Levantine or Modern Standard Arabic?
If you want to talk to people, Levantine. If you need to read, research or work with documents, Modern Standard. Many students do both in one programme — ask us and we will give you a straight answer for your situation.
I am a complete beginner. Is online too hard to start with?
No. We start beginners online regularly, from the letters and their sounds. One-to-one is often easier for a beginner than a classroom, because nobody else is waiting while you work something out.
How do I pay?
Through the payment form on our site, by PayPal, or by bank transfer. Pay online here once your schedule is agreed.
Are these lessons for children too?
This page covers adults and older students. Children learn differently, so we run a separate programme for them — see online Arabic for kids.
