About Shimaa
I'm an Arabic language teacher holding a Master's degree in Islamic Studies, with over 10 years of experience teaching Arabic to non-native speakers — both adults and children — helping them progress all the way to fluency. I've taught more than 2,500 hours online through established platforms like Preply and specialized language centers, working with students of diverse nationalities and levels.
Beyond language teaching, I have solid experience teaching Egyptian, Emirati, and Saudi school curricula, editing and verifying classical Arabic heritage texts (tahqiq), writing academic research, and supporting Master's and PhD students with their theses and coursework

Want to master Arabic or build real confidence speaking it?
My lessons focus on genuine conversation practice and practical vocabulary, while making grammar simple and easy to understand. Every lesson is tailored to the student's level and goal — whether that's learning Arabic from scratch, improving pronunciation and accent, exam preparation, learning Quran recitation and Tajweed rules, or getting academic support for a research paper or thesis.
I also teach school curricula (Egyptian, Emirati, Saudi) for children and students, and provide academic support for Master's and PhD candidates in writing and scholarly editing.
Book a trial lesson with me, and let's start your Arabic-learning journey together!

Ms Shimaa has been teaching Arabic to my children for the past 3 years. She supports them with homework, prepares them for assessments and helped them progress in Arabic reading, writing, listening and speaking. She is a great tutor.
I’m truly grateful to have such a wonderful Arabic teacher. She is incredibly patient, kind, and professional, and she always explains everything in a clear and easy-to-understand way.
Learning Arabic can sometimes feel challenging, but her teaching style makes every lesson interesting, comfortable, and enjoyable. She creates such a positive atmosphere that I never feel afraid to make mistakes or ask questions.
I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Arabic with a knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely lovely teacher.We had the pleasure to work with Ms. Shaima when she was tutoring my kids by giving online Arabic lessons. Recommended teacher, knowledgeable in her field and knows how to deal with students from different ages
I did Arabic lessons with Shimaa for 2 years and it really helped me gain confidence in my Conversationsal Arabic skills.
She teaches well and tests regularly giving homework to consolidate and strengthen my knowledge.
I did the book “Bayna Yadayk” with her and got up to book 3.
I would recommend Teacher Shimaa for anyone who needs help learning Arabic vocabulary, grammar and the language of the Quran in general.I would like to thank you for the positive impact you have had on Tia’s learning. I have noticed great improvement in her Arabic particularly in her reading skills and her ability to understand and express ideas more clearly. Your guidance and support have helped her build confidence and enjoy learning.
We truly appreciate your effort and dedication in helping Tia progress.So patient, calm, and genuinely amazing at what she does!
