Testimonials
“Maya is definitely the best teacher I had so far.
She is full of energy, very focused and incredibly passionate. Maya is very experienced, both on practical level with regards to her teaching skills as well as on the theoretical level – she has a PHD in Arabic language and literature.
She always remembers my exact progress and which words I already learned and which are new to me. Also, her teaching materials are excellent. In 5 months with her, I learned more than in the past 3 years with other teachers. I can Highly recommend to study with her if you wish to learn Ammiyya, fosha or both.”

For the past three years, I have had the privilege of studying Arabic with Maya through online instruction. Over this extended period, I have come to deeply appreciate not only her extraordinary command of the Arabic language and pedagogy, but also her rare combination of patience, creativity, and intercultural sensitivity. Her ability to convey the complexities of Arabic grammar, vocabulary, and cultural nuance with clarity and enthusiasm is exceptional.
Maya is an educator of remarkable flexibility. She consistently tailored lessons to fit my pace and learning style, never hesitating to adjust her approach when a concept required a fresh explanation. Her learning materials are consistently up- to-date, thoughtfully structured, and remarkably didactic—balancing linguistic depth with pedagogical accessibility.
Beyond her professional competence, Maya is a genuinely warm and open- minded person. Her interest in different cultures and her ability to connect across cultural boundaries enrich the learning environment immeasurably.

I have had the privilege of studying Arabic with Dr. Khalil since 2020, both in-person in Lebanon and online. Over these years, I have experienced first-hand her dedication, pedagogical skill, and passion for teaching. What distinguishes Dr. Khalil is her wisdom, cultural openness and adaptability to the needs of her students. She tailors the curriculum to individual learning goals and encourages dialogue on a wide range of topics, fostering both linguistic development and cultural insight. Her warm demeanor and consistently positive spirit make her classes highly engaging.
I am deeply impressed by Dr. Khalil’s unwavering dedication to her students and her constant efforts to make studying of the Arabic language more accessible and engaging. Over the years, she has continuously worked to improve the learning environment, focusing on making the study process as smooth and effective as possible. She has also developed her own teaching materials, including original study books, tailored to the needs of non-native learners. I genuinely admire how she continues to evolve in her role as a teacher— a role that clearly reflects her true passion.

Maya is a wonderful teacher. I have been having classes with her for 2.5 years, and she not only taught me structure but really helped me be more fluent in dialect and fusha. She is patient and adapts the level of her classes in order to guarantee your understanding and progress. I always look forward to our class!
