Summary
Versatile English teacher with B.A. in English Language and Translation and highly diverse teaching background with 16 years of experience, 14 of which in the UAE. I have taught English from primary to high school students, in addition to Social Studies, Mathematics, Science and Arts for primary school students. Integrating technology into lesson plans has become a crucial part of my teaching.
With a high regard for punctuality and respect for different cultures, I am reliable, organized, a fast learner and I always pay great attention to detail.
The greatest reward ever is witnessing my students progress in learning and succeed in their exams and in life.
