Each teacher has their own price, which may start as low as $5.00 an hour.
Option 3 Superprof
Superprof is similar to Preply; it is instructor based; however, they also offer in-person and online tutoring. Prices vary based on your tutor; however, they usually start at about $14.00 an hour. Superprof is Canadian-based, offering different classes based on the city you reside in; Arabic is offered in Edmonton.
Whether you are learning Arabic to grow closer to Islam, or to travel or for work, it is a beautiful language that offers incredible value to your life. Learning new languages makes you a smarter, more culturally intelligent person and allows you to connect with vast number of people, each with their own value to offer. At Jalya we recommend learning Arabic for its complexity, beauty and cultural and historical significance.
