What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to innovate in language education and contribute to curriculum development.

As an experienced English teacher, I have dedicated my career to fostering language skills and enhancing student engagement. Currently, I teach at Ibn Haldun University, where I have developed innovative teaching methods that cater to diverse learning styles. My journey in education began in Aleppo, Syria, and has taken me through various esteemed institutions in Istanbul, where I have honed my skills in language instruction.

My educational background includes a BA in English Language and Literature and a CELTA certification, which have equipped me with the tools necessary to create effective learning environments. I am passionate about professional development and have led sessions on integrating interactive content into the classroom, ensuring that my teaching remains relevant and impactful. I strive to inspire my students to achieve their language goals while fostering a love for learning.
