@ayafayyad
I’m a seasoned French teacher who boosts Edexcel/O-Level results through engaging, differentiated instruction and AI-supported learning.
What I'm looking for
I’m an organized and professional French Instructor with 18 years of expertise in French language instruction. I develop lesson plans tailored to diverse learning styles and educational needs, including classrooms of 30 students, and I coach learners on exam techniques, oral proficiency, and listening comprehension within the Edexcel assessment framework.
I also bring leadership and management experience, including serving as French HOD (Head of Department) and contributing to improved academic standards and student satisfaction. In my recent roles, I’ve integrated interactive learning and revision video lessons, used platforms like Wordwall and Bamboozle, and started using AI-assisted personalized learning pathways to enhance student autonomy and engagement.
