Ammar Khoja
@ammarkhoja
Bilingual English–Arabic language specialist and content moderation manager, turning complex copy into clear, culturally appropriate MSA.
What I'm looking for
I’m a bilingual English–Arabic language specialist with 20+ years of experience in teaching, content development, and Arabic proofreading. I refine and adapt content into clear, natural, age-appropriate Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) for diverse audiences—especially young learners.
I bring deep expertise in Arabic Proofreading & Language Refinement, children’s educational content (Ages 5+), and simplifying language for clarity and engagement. I’ve also led curriculum design aligned with Cambridge & Pearson, and supported learners through TOEFL & IELTS preparation, student assessment, and progress tracking.
In my most recent role, I worked as a Content Moderation Manager for The SocialElement (Sony PlayStation), where I led a global moderation team and developed Arabic/English content guidelines. I focused on clarity, tone consistency, and cultural appropriateness for a pan-audience experience.
I’ve also built and led learning environments as Founder & Head Teacher of MLA Academy and as a teacher at Global Modern. Alongside that, I’ve supported academic translation work as a freelance consultant, and I’ve managed international business operations as a Managing Director—bringing a disciplined, outcomes-driven approach to every language and content project.
