Ahmed Afifi

I offer personalised Arabic / Chess lessons for learners of all ages and abilities, from complete beginners to advanced students. Whether you want to learn Modern Standard Arabic, improve your speaking, reading, writing, or listening skills, or simply connect with the Arabic language and culture, I tailor every lesson to your individual goals and learning style.

My lessons are interactive, friendly, and structured to help you build confidence step by step. I use a variety of teaching methods, including conversation practice, reading and writing exercises, listening activities, visual materials, and real-life examples to make learning enjoyable and effective. Younger learners benefit from engaging games, stories, and age-appropriate activities, while adults receive practical lessons focused on communication, travel, work, or personal interests.

I am a native Arabic speaker and speak English fluently, allowing me to explain concepts clearly to English-speaking learners. I have experience teaching Arabic to friends from different backgrounds and teaching chess to children under the age of 12. These experiences have helped me develop patience, adaptability, and the ability to make learning enjoyable for students of different ages and abilities.

I am supportive, encouraging, and committed to creating a positive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, practising their skills, and progressing at their own pace.

Lessons are available in person within Manchester area with flexible scheduling to suit your availability. My goal is to help every student develop confidence and fluency in Arabic while enjoying the learning journey and gaining an appreciation of Arab culture.
