The advantage is that it is private classes, there is only one student, the teacher can focus much better on him and correct his mistakes and work on his week points. And the student goes much faster. 

We always recommend to the student to combine between Damascus University, Mezze Institute and private courses. Coming to Damascus in an unique occasion, an investment, so you have to take a maximum of profit. 

If you wish to combine between two choices (Damascus Univ. + Private courses // Mezze Institute + Private courses), please tell us in order we offer you the best quotation. 

We also offer Traditional Syrian Arabic Cooking lessons (8/9 different dishes) and Arabic Calligraphy (Farisi). If you are interested, please let us know in order to offer a full package. 

Our package price is only for one person. If you are two, three or planning to come in group, the price dicreases much. Please tell us in order to send our best offer.

We also offer Tours for student groups in order they discover the great Civilization, inheritance and History of Damascus and Syria and its role and importance in the past and nowadays. We have a perspective to show them the real Damascus and Syria, not the commercial and mass-tourist one, correct the "prejuges" and stereotypes in order they go back to their country with a better and correct idea about the Arabs, the Middle East, Muslims and Islam .... So we take care of everything, the best we can, Incha Allah, as we say here.

If you are interested, please feel free to contact us.
