Summary
I am a dedicated language educator with an extensive and distinguished career in language instruction. In addition to teaching English as a Foreign Language, I specialize in English for specific purposes, as well as TOEFL and IELTS preparation, and Arabic for non-native speakers. I also play an active role in designing and adapting language curricula to meet both institutional objectives and individual student needs. My experience includes successfully creating, managing, teaching, and evaluating a wide range of language courses across various academic levels.
I hold 3 in-class diplomas from the United States. I have completed CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults), Training of Trainers diploma (TOT) in English from The Arab Academy for Science and Technology, the International Computer Driving License (ICDL), and Performance Assessment and Test Design Course from military studies institute (Germany). My background reflects strong academic and leadership capabilities, backed by over 20 years of experience in classroom management, educational consulting, and academic leadership. I am particularly passionate about research in language acquisition. Above all, I am committed to identifying and addressing the unique learning challenges students face, helping them build confidence, and enriching their educational journey through engaging, motivating, and inspiring learning experiences.
