Private Tutoring

Imagine the feeling of a blind man finally being able to see for the first time in his life. Slowly and gradually he is able to see sparkles of light and then eventually the colours and hopefully one day the beautiful creation of Allah (swt). This is the feeling I have had as a student of Sidi Yusaf Bhatti in learning Arabic. One begins to develops a living connection with Allah whilst reading Quran, hadith , qasidas, and Salah. What once seemed like a foreign language is gradually turning into a direct experience and a means to drawing closer to the One (swt). Learn from the best! Highly recommended!

Ustadh Yusuf is great to study with. He is easy-going and has a good sense of humor, which helps when one ploughs through Arabic grammar. He has a way of explaining things that covers the basics and yet, if one so cares, takes you into the depths of Arabic, that beautiful and challenging language. What is most remarkable about Yusuf, for a student, is that he is willing and more than capable of tailoring the course of study to one’s special learning needs and affinities. And that’s what you want if you are studying Arabic for the sake of your scholarship or career. I could never tire singing praises to Yusuf’s teaching style and skills.

Ustadh Yusaf combines several rarified elements of classical Arabic grammar instruction in a single teacher: a spiritual grasp of the Quran; mastery of Arabic grammar and usage at the exegetical level; native command of English grammar and usage at the university level; over a decade of classroom experience raising non-native Arabic speakers from beginner to advanced grammarian; and the kind of affability and patience needed with a student that makes a good teacher great. Only Ustadh Yusaf comes to mind as combining all five of these critical attributes in a single teacher.
