Dr. Mohammed Kadalah
With a PhD in Arabic Studies and over 15 years of university teaching experience, I bring academic rigor and authentic cultural insight to every lesson.
Originally from Syria, I combine native fluency with scholarly expertise to help students master both Modern Standard Arabic and conversational Levantine dialect—the language of everyday life in the Levant.

My Teaching Philosophy
Language learning is most effective when it's authentic and communicative. I use proven methods refined over 15 years of classroom success, combining traditional academic rigor with real-world application.
My students don't just memorize vocabulary—they learn to think in Arabic, understand cultural context, and communicate with confidence in any setting, from professional meetings to casual conversation.
Every student's journey is unique. I tailor my approach to your specific goals, whether you're preparing for business in the Arab world, connecting with heritage, or pursuing academic excellence.
Authentic Materials
Real texts, media, and conversations—not textbook exercises disconnected from reality.
Communication Focus
Emphasis on practical communication skills you'll use in real situations.
Cultural Integration
Language and culture are inseparable—learn both together for true fluency.
Proven Results
15+ years of successful student outcomes at top universities.
