Ms. Dana Ibrahim

Founder/Teacher

As an experienced and passionate educator, I am thrilled to introduce myself as the founder of Qalami Academy, our new program dedicated to teaching Arabic. My journey in education began 17 years ago, and it has been an incredibly rewarding path. Originally from Damascus, Syria, I emigrated to the United States 11 years ago, bringing with me a deep love for my native language and a strong desire to share it with others.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature, which has provided me with a solid foundation in language arts and pedagogy. Over the years, I have dedicated myself to making the process of learning Arabic both engaging and fun. My teaching philosophy centers around sparking curiosity and enthusiasm in young learners. My goal is to ensure that they not only learn to read, write, and pronounce Arabic correctly but also develop a genuine interest in the language and the Middle Eastern culture.

I look forward to welcoming students to Qalami Academy and embarking on this educational journey together.
