About Me
Although I work as a teacher, I often see myself as an "educator" as I try to pass on my knowledge to others or create opportunities for them to learn, not only through classroom teaching but through other means. That includes translating books and writing short stories and other books that all have an element of education or contain something that is thought provoking. I have not only taught English in Saudi Arabia but also taught Arabic, History and ICT in the UK to people of all ages ranging from 6 years to 74 years. I have also worked in other roles, most notably as an Arabic Interpreter and Translator. Apart from work, I enjoy walking /hiking, creative writing and spending time with family
Teaching Approach
Every learner is different just like every person is different, with their own unique personalities and styles of learning. Based on that, I like to personalise my learning and adapt it based on students' needs and interests. I do this by building good working relationship with my students and learning about them, giving examples based on their interests
