Are you looking to improve your Moroccan Arabic (darija) skills?
Look no further! My name is Mariam and I am a highly experienced
and dedicated darija tutor with over 4 years of experience

and culture to volunteers with the Peace Corps and gained
valuable experience through tutoring on preply.

I tailor my teaching methods to each student's learning
pace and needs, ensuring that you are able to understand
and speak darija with confidence. I am patient and understanding,

I have a wealth of materials and strategies for teaching
Moroccan Arabic to non-native speakers, and I can also
assist with standard/classical Arabic.

Don't let the opportunity to improve your darija skills pass you by.
With my guidance, you'll be speaking like a native in no time.
