Aisha Begum

I grew up bilingual in Arabic and English in Birmingham and graduated with a degree in English Literature from the University of Birmingham. Teaching languages feels natural to me because I have spent my whole life navigating between two linguistic worlds.

I tutor Arabic for beginners and intermediates, focusing on Modern Standard Arabic and conversational Levantine dialect. For Arabic, I use a communicative approach where students start speaking from the first session, with grammar introduced gradually through context rather than rote memorisation.

I also teach ESL to Arabic-speaking newcomers to the UK, helping them build the everyday English they need for work, study, and daily life. Having grown up in a bilingual household, I understand the specific challenges Arabic speakers face with English pronunciation, grammar, and idioms.

I am at the beginning of my tutoring career and keep my rates accessible to build experience and my student base. Despite being new, I bring genuine passion and cultural insight that enriches every lesson.
