The Arabic Club for Kids is an inclusive institution, welcoming all children to learn this significant world language. Founded in 2007 by Dr. Rabab Hamiduddin, the Club was created in response to the poor practices she witnessed in Arabic education. Since then, it has transformed Arabic learning in London through best practice, child-centred teaching, and professional expertise. Parents regularly remark how previous negative experiences have been turned around by the fun, engaging environment at the Club.
Why The Arabic Club for Kids is Different
1. A Child-Centred Philosophy
From the outset, Dr. Rabab was determined to put children at the heart of everything. Classes are not about ticking boxes or rote memorisation. Instead, they focus on creativity, play, respect, and curiosity—helping children build a positive, lifelong connection with Arabic.
2. Highly Qualified Teachers
Unlike many supplementary schools that rely on under-qualified staff or large classes, The Arabic Club works only with professional teachers and maintains a high teacher-pupil ratio. Educators receive ongoing training from language consultants and university faculty, ensuring lessons reflect the latest research in pedagogy and language acquisition.
3. Strong Outcomes and Value for Money
Parents sometimes wonder why the Club is not “cheaper” than other providers. The answer is clear: outcomes. Children don’t just make progress—they gain confidence, enjoy learning, and achieve long-term results. Many continue through to GCSE level with enthusiasm.
This enjoyment is priceless because it builds a lifelong relationship with the language. A new workshop for secondary school students also provides an age-appropriate pathway, with a GCSE option available but never compulsory.
It’s natural to consider cost when choosing activities. But a cheaper class that leaves children disengaged is no bargain. By delivering real progress, confidence, and cultural connection, The Arabic Club represents excellent value.
4. A Proven Legacy of Change
Since 2007, the Club has not only impacted its students but also influenced the wider field, raising standards and compelling other institutions to improve. It is more than a school—it’s a trailblazer that has reshaped expectations of Arabic education in London.
From Early Years to Teenagers and GCSE Success
The Club offers a clear progression from age 3 through to GCSE preparation. Young learners are introduced to Arabic in a fun, playful way, sparking curiosity and joy. As they grow, lessons become more structured, supporting them all the way to formal qualifications.
Parents love that this is not a short-term course but a long-term investment with visible results.
More Than Just Language Learning
At The Arabic Club, Arabic is taught as more than a subject. Classes celebrate culture, heritage, and identity. Children experience Arabic as a living, vibrant language that connects them to stories, traditions, and communities.
Importantly, this is done in an inclusive, joyful way, never heavy-handed. Here, Arabic becomes something children want to learn, not something they “have to” learn.
Parents’ Perspective
Parents across London describe how transformative the Club has been. Many felt relief after years of disappointing experiences. The difference, they say, is the club’s unique blend of professionalism, creativity, and care.
See Sarahs review!
“Ossama and I would love to say a huge thank you for a fantastic year with our daughter.
She had an absolute blast and learned so much Arabic. We are astounded by her reading and writing skills in just one year and her growing familiarity with spoken Classical Arabic and other dialects that we do not speak at home, which we are happy to see her identify and repeat back to us when we least expect it!”
“A learning environment is more than just a physical space —it’s the complex set of interactions between what we see and hear, what we feel and what we are learning. We make learning Arabic relevant to children’s lives and aspirations”
