What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a teaching role where I can apply literacy/numeracy support, bilingual tutoring, and report-translation skills in a supportive school with opportunities for professional growth.

I am a committed learning support teacher with a degree from Al-Azhar University, experienced supporting Year 1 and 2 students with literacy and numeracy barriers. I translate psychological reports from Arabic to English and plan individualized lessons to meet diverse learner needs.

I have tutored Arabic and English, volunteered as a kindergarten teaching assistant, and served on the South African students association executive and as a secretary assistant. I bring strong communication, Microsoft Office proficiency, adaptability, and a focus on student progress and professional growth.
