What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue delivering quality English education, designing engaging curriculum, supporting academic readiness, and improving learner outcomes in an international, cross-cultural education environment.

I'm delivering English language instruction to preparatory-year students at the University of Tabuk, designing curriculum-aligned lesson plans and providing feedback that supports academic readiness.

Previously, I taught preparatory-year English at the University of Hafr Al Batin, where I developed customised teaching materials, evaluated student performance, and contributed to program quality assurance. In Taiwan, I taught foundational English at Zai Xi Elementary School through a ministry-approved cultural exchange program, supporting curriculum planning, literacy activities, and student motivation.

With over six years of international teaching experience across Saudi Arabia and Taiwan, I'm committed to quality education, cross-cultural learning, and stronger learner outcomes.
