Miriam Elnaggar
@miriamelnaggar
Learning experience designer and educator crafting engaging, scalable learning for people of all ages.
What I'm looking for
I’m a learning experience designer and educator who combines classroom teaching, facilitation, and learning language teaching to turn complex ideas into structured, engaging learning experiences. With 15 years creating hands-on, meaningful, and scalable learning, I collaborate with educational institutions, startups, training organisations, and nonprofits across diverse subject areas.
Through my independent practice at Miriam’s Learning Lab, I design learner-centred workshops, curricula, onboarding programmes, and training—blending learning design, facilitation, and creative education. I build educational content and course materials, integrate EdTech, and support digital onboarding and learning experiences in ways that feel interactive, accessible, and adaptable to different contexts.
I’ve delivered measurable impact in EdTech: I led game-based learning where 80% of students successfully created games on Scratch, supported 500+ participants, and co-created 20+ games. As a teacher and learning designer, I also trained 300+ educators (75% proficiency) and developed personalised outdoor learning using Cambridge and MYP frameworks, helping students progress beyond grade level while strengthening independence and confidence.
