How classes work

  1. 01

    A free intro call

    Tell us your goal — Fusha, Egyptian dialect, or both — and where you're starting from. Zero is completely fine.

  2. 02

    Matched with a native tutor

    Live, one-on-one or small-group classes with a tutor who actually speaks the dialect you want, explained in English first.

  3. 03

    Built around what you need

    Travel, work, family, exams, or everyday conversation — lessons follow your actual goal, not a fixed textbook order.

Meet your tutor

“I know exactly where a translation breaks down between languages — the same gap that makes textbook Arabic feel nothing like real use.”

A native Egyptian Arabic speaker who has spent years explaining languages across cultures — Korean-Arabic interpreting, international operations, and teaching students in more than fifteen countries. She also founded and runs Klovers, an online academy teaching Korean since 2013. Whether you need Modern Standard Arabic for reading, writing and formal use, or real spoken Egyptian dialect for conversation, she'll help you find what matches your goal.

Common questions

What's the difference between Modern Standard Arabic (Fusha) and a spoken dialect?

Fusha is the formal, written Arabic used in media, religious texts and official documents, and it's the same everywhere in the Arab world. A spoken dialect — Egyptian, for example — is how people actually talk day to day. Many learners study both; your tutor will help you find the right mix for your goal.

Do I need to know any Arabic already to start?

No — lessons start from zero, whether you're learning Fusha or a spoken dialect.

Which dialects are actually available right now?

Egyptian Arabic and Modern Standard Arabic are live today. Other dialects are listed as coming soon — we only open a dialect once we have a real native tutor teaching it, not before.

Why does "Book a trial class" take me to kloversegy.com?

mkatub is Reham's Arabic-teaching brand, run alongside Klovers — the Korean-teaching academy she's run since 2013. Trial booking lives on Klovers' site because that's where her real, live scheduling already works; you'll land straight on the Arabic trial booking section.
