What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can design learner-centered curricula, train teachers, integrate technology, and improve student outcomes in a collaborative school or training environment.

I am a passionate, TESOL-certified senior English teacher with extensive experience teaching pre-teens, teens, young adults, and adults across Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. I hold a High Diploma in Teaching English Methodologies and a BA in English Language and Literature.

I consistently design learner-centered curricula and integrate technology to boost listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills; my initiatives have led to measurable improvements in exam scores, retention, attendance, and communication skills. I have implemented remedial sessions, real-life speaking curricula, literature circles, and grammar workshops that produced notable gains in student performance and confidence.

I am committed to professional development and teacher training, holding certifications such as TESOL, PCELT, ESP, FELT, TEPT, Intel Teaching for the Future, and ICDL, and I emphasize cultural sensitivity, adaptability, and student-centered engagement in my practice.
