Summary
With over 13 years of experience teaching primary students in Cairo, I’ve become an expert at planning and developing curriculum as well as assessing each student’s progress to accommodate different learning styles and speed. The skills acquired during my time as the Head of Primary English and Head of Year, have also provided me with necessary tools to collaborate with parents and teachers alike to support our students’ needs. I believe these skills combined with my professional expertise and work ethics align closely with the responsibilities of an educational leader.
