What students say
Rated 5.0 across 75 reviews
Read all reviews →Zakir is remarkably flexible — he adjusts lessons around my schedule and my level without any fuss. His knowledge of the subject runs deep, and it shows in every session.
A thoroughly professional and patient teacher. He takes the time to make sure things really land before moving on. I warmly recommend him.
He helped me enormously with pronunciation — individual letters and full words. Sounds I used to struggle with finally clicked.
A very patient teacher who brings a wide variety of materials to every lesson. Learning with him never feels monotonous.
He prepares his own teaching materials — colorful, clear and easy to read. They make a real difference in how quickly things stick.
Common questions
Wondering how it works?
How does a trial lesson work?
Book a trial lesson through Zakir’s Preply profile, or send a message through the contact form on this site. In the trial you’ll talk about your goals and current level, try a short piece of real teaching, and leave with a suggested plan. It’s a low-pressure way to see whether the teaching style fits before committing to regular lessons.
How much do lessons cost?
Lessons are $5 per 50-minute session, booked through Preply. There are no packages to buy up front — you book lessons as you go, so you stay in control of the pace and the budget.
I have no prior knowledge — can I still start?
Yes. Complete beginners are one of Zakir’s core specialties. Beginner lessons start with pictures, video and audio rather than grammar tables, so you build recognition naturally before moving to guided exercises. Many students begin without knowing a single letter of the Arabic alphabet.
Are lessons suitable for children?
Yes — teaching Arabic and Quran to children is one of Zakir’s dedicated specialties. Kids’ lessons use visual and audio-based materials and are tailored to each child’s own interests, which keeps young learners engaged. Reviewers consistently mention his patience, which matters most with children.
