I am a passionate language teacher with 15 years of experience in the international educational field. I was born in Egypt- Cairo the land of pyramids. All of the above and much more are one of my beat moments ever! Best Moment In Teaching My best moments in teaching are: whenever we danced, laughed or sang together, when my pupils surprise me with their accomplishments, when one of my Y6 pupils earned the International Benchmark Test ‘Award for Excellence’, and when the Arabic B department was rated as Very Good from DSIB. I am a member in the CIS visiting team, having recently being a part of an accreditation team that visited schools internationally. In 2011, I moved to Dubai and since then I am working here as an Arabic teacher for non-Arabic speakers. In Riyadh, I worked for 5 years as an Arabic Culture and Language teacher at the American International School of Riyadh and for 6 years as the K-3 coordinator and Arabic teacher at Advanced Learning Schools, an IB school. In expanding my line of expertise, I worked with students with Learning Disabilities at Fawzia Al Sultan Learning Institute, Kuwait, as the school’s Pre-Academic and Therapeutic Program Coordinator, then I moved with my family to Saudi Arabia. During my 10 years there I held the positions of Nursery Supervisor and Head Arabic teacher. I began my career in education at Al Bayan Bilingual School, Kuwait, as a Nursery Teacher’s assistant. When I see the parents happy to stay longer in the Arabic sessions and don't want to leave the Arabic class even the class time is already over. When a journalist from "The National" visited my Arabic class and the first thing she recognized that the students are happy. etc When I see a native English speaker parent give a speech in Arabic in some cultural events at DBS. When I see the respect and understanding of the culture every day at DBS and the big number of participants in the cultural events such as National day, Ramadan, DBS iftar.
When I see the great Arabic GCSE results of my non-Arabic students.
Best Moment In Teaching When I see the students enjoying learning the Arabic language and use Arabic outside the classroom.
My main aim is to raise the profile of the Arabic language and Arabic culture at DBS this work was mentioned clearly in some DSIB reports and in Dubai newspapers.
I teach Arabic for our year 9 students at GCSE level as an early entries I have popular classes for the non-Arab DBS parents which are offered for free, I also teach Arabic to DBS teachers in their free time. During my life at DBS and in addition to my job as the Arabic B teacher in secondary school I worked in a variety of roles from Head of Department, Assistant of the Arabic Director to the DBS Arabic ambassador. Graduates of the program work in areas such as governmental institutions, non-governmental and international organizations, law firms, banking, media or international relations.I'm an expert Arabic teacher worked in government schools in Jordan before moving to Sharjah and then to Dubai to work at DBS in August 2010.
