Mohammad and Duaa are outstanding, professional educators. Mohammad's one-to-one lessons in colloquial Jordanian Arabic helped me improve immensely. I recommend their classes to anyone who wants to get to know Amman and Jordan the best way - through language!
Joel VeldkampOne of the best things I did in Amman. Not just great teachers but really great people, too. Especially excellent for anyone wanting to speak like a local. Highly recommended.
Sophie ParkerAs a beginner, I really enjoyed my Arabic classes at Deewan Institute. With a lot of patience (!!!) and very good pedagogy, Duaa keeps on encouraging you, trying to make you self-confident, teaching you basics in a very attractive and effective way. Smile and good spirit are key elements. I definitely recommend people to take Arabic classes at Deewan.
Nadège ChassaingMohammad and Duaa are not only professional educators but also really wonderful people. Mohammad’s Modern Standard Arabic and Colloquial Jordanian Arabic classes helped me improve a lot! My one-to-one classes with Mohammad left me not only with language skills but also a stronger understanding of local culture. I highly recommend Deewan Institute to anyone interested in learning Arabic and/or culture!
Gina WuI took Ammiyeh courses at Deewan intensively for a month and they arranged for my housing and several incredible trips to see sites in Jordan. It was my favourite winter break, and my Arabic improved immensely! The teachers at Deewan are experienced, patient, and creative with their lesson plans. We laughed and had so much fun together, by the end I really felt like family. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Emma SlaterDuaa and Mohammad are the best Ammiyeh teachers I've had. Their lessons are well-organized, crafted toward your own needs and abilities, and also push you to challenge yourself. Their lessons are also helpful for learning about local culture and linguistic idioms, which are hard to understand without spending extensive time in the country.
Angela LinMohammad and Duaa are a winning team! Within a couple of months of learning in their classes, my Arabic speaking skills simply soared. The Ammiyeh course was brilliant for building my confidence, vocabulary and listening comprehension. Besides, the classes were always such good fun. Definitely some of my best-spent JOD; really good value for money!
Funke AlabiThe tutors and other staff have been invariably pleasant and welcoming and I find the tuition to be of a high standard. The course materials, which have recently been developed by Deewan, are comprehensive, clear and well structured. I am fascinated by the language and how it works, and my tutor accompanies me expertly in my explorations, explaining grammar, usage, context, and origins. She is patient, adapting to the pace of my inadequate memory.

Thanks to my teachers, I loved every class and I always felt supported and motivated! I was a total beginner in Ammiyeh and now after 2 months I feel much more confident and I can get myself around in Jordan. Deewan, you will be missed!
