Training & Development Specialist with 14+ years designing workshops and mentorship that improve learning outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Training & Development Specialist and seasoned educator with 14+ years designing and facilitating training programs, awareness workshops, and mentorship initiatives across leading schools and institutions in Pakistan and the UAE. I’m known for breaking down complex concepts into clear, engaging learning experiences—then translating that learning into measurable gains through structured support, assessment, and continuous professional development (CPD).
In my recent role as Lead Teacher & Training Coordinator, I led professional development workshops, built a structured mentorship program for onboarding, and delivered one-on-one Learning Support Programs (LSP) that identify learning gaps and tailor support. I’ve also facilitated Aptis (British Council) English proficiency preparation, coordinated cross-departmental curriculum initiatives, and implemented assessment frameworks to improve program delivery and outcomes. Earlier, I developed early-years programs, coached junior educators, and as a Nursery Manager & Training Lead managed onboarding, training, and team coaching aligned to international childcare and educational standards.
