I help multilingual learners access IB curriculum through scaffolded language support.
What I'm looking for
At Aga Khan Academies in Dhaka, I support up to 50 English Language Learners annually across IB PYP, MYP, and DP programmes.
I collaborate with English and Inclusion teachers to design differentiated Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions, helping learners build academic language, confidence, curriculum access, and social-emotional engagement.
I’ve trained EAL support teachers in SIOP-aligned sheltered instruction and bring experience leading multilingual curriculum planning at Vision International School in Qatar and supporting ELLs in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools.
Across international and public-school settings, I use scaffolding, visual supports, Responsive Classroom routines, culturally responsive teaching, and literacy workshops to ensure language barriers never become academic ceilings.
