I teach middle and high school learners at EDIA Academy, a California-based virtual school, using student-centered online instruction in Math, Science, Social Studies, and Islamic Studies.

I build engaging lessons with Thinkwave, Google Classroom, Zoom, Google Meet, Classkick, Canva, and interactive quizzes. I support learners through differentiated instruction, skill-booster classes, parent collaboration, counselling, and individualized learning plans.

Before teaching, I spent over 19 years in the IT industry across telecom and transport domains. At Qatar Railways, I worked as an IT Project Manager and Senior Application Architect, following earlier application administration work at Emirates Telecom and computer engineering work at Alaman Consults.

I bring project planning, Agile Scrum, stakeholder management, business analysis, data analysis, Linux, .NET, Java, JSP, Git, and shell scripting to my work. My goal is to create supportive learning environments where learners, including hesitant ESL students, can participate confidently and improve.
