I teach Arabic and build language programs for global learners and government professionals.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently teaching Arabic remotely with Bicortex and the International Language Institute, creating tailored lesson plans, assessments, curricula, and digital learning materials for international students.
Over 20 years, I've taught Arabic to adult learners, diplomats, military personnel, government professionals, and university students. I use student-centered, communicative instruction across Modern Standard Arabic and Arabic dialects, connecting language practice with regional culture and practical conversation.
At Diplomatic Language Services and TITAN Corp., I delivered Arabic instruction, curriculum development, media analysis, translation, and OPI testing, including more than 3,000 OPI tests for government-contract candidates. I've also spent years recruiting technical, engineering, cybersecurity, and linguist talent for defense and intelligence organizations.
