As students and professionals alike seek pathways to global opportunities, demand for test preparation and professional training is at an all-time high. Dalilk Academy is an AI-powered learning platform responding to this shift with innovation and unrivalled ambition, expertly steered by Founder Abdur Rahman Hijazi. Following recent recognition for both Abdur Rahman and Dalilk Academy in the Education and Training Awards 2025, we spoke to Abdur Rahman to learn more. The visionary Founder and public face of Dalilk Academy, Abdur Rahman Hijazi has been instrumental in transforming how millions of Arabic-speaking learners approach English language education. Abdur stands out in the education sector for his communication style, resonating deeply with young Arabic-speaking audiences to motivate, empower, and create a sense of possibility for learners who often feel excluded by traditional systems. Dalilk Academy is a pioneering education platform dedicated to empowering learners across the Middle East and beyond with high quality English language training, test preparation, and future skills development. The academy has served over 20 million learners across more than ten years of operations, quickly establishing itself as one of the GCC’s most trusted names in Arabic-language education. Within the education and training space, Dalilk Academy’s role is twofold. The academy strives to connect global standards with local needs, specialising in preparing students for internationally recognised exams such as IELTS, TOEFL, STEP, and Qudrat, ensuring they meet the requirements for higher education, scholarships, and professional growth. At the same time, it focuses on innovation in learning delivery; by leveraging AI-powered placement tests, interactive online platforms, and strategic partnerships with global publishers, Dalilk Academy makes world-class learning accessible, affordable, and culturally relevant. One of Dalilk Academy’s core innovations is an AI-powered speaking tool that allows users to practice real conversations with real-time feedback, bridging the gap between knowledge and confident communication. Built using natural language processing and speech analysis, the tool evaluates pronunciation, fluency, and grammar in context, offering tailored corrections that simulate the experience of speaking with a live tutor. This functionality is particularly valuable for learners preparing for exams that assess spoken English, such as IELTS and STEP, where confidence and clarity are essential.
