What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an education-focused role where I can teach English/Arabic, support translation needs, and apply my linguistics research, planning, and student progress analysis in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

I’m an English and Arabic teacher and translator with more than ten years of experience across school, home tutoring, and ministry roles. I focus on clear communication, strong classroom management, and tailored lesson planning for beginners through intermediate learners.

I also work as an English-Arabic translation and sworn translators’ assistant for translation offices, and I contribute to university support through notes and lecture writing for English department subjects. My linguistics M.A. research examines the impacts of spelling-pronunciation discrepancies in English orthography on Syrian students’ pronunciation.

I’m highly dedicated, self-driven, and analytical, with strengths in strategic planning, critical and creative thinking, and solution-focused problem-solving. In addition to teaching, I’ve developed customer-facing skills through sales roles and consistently bring patient, empathetic communication to every interaction.
