Objective:
Innovative, dedicated educator seeking a position in teaching middle / high School ESL with special
interest in high school English language arts, and teaching adults.
Profile
I am a highly qualified English Language Arts teacher with nine years of experience in Egypt and am
currently in my fifteenth year of overseas work in bilingual and international schools. I’m a motivated
self-starter both in and outside of the classroom. I have taught a wide range of English classes, Global
Issues, and American Diploma. I am currently not only a director of Model United Nations program, but I
am also a director of Summer School Program as well. I love working with students outside of the
classroom as much as possible and have done so locally and internationally in a variety of capacities. I am
an extensive reader and essay writer in both English and Arabic languages. I am patient, perseverant,
sociable, tolerant, caring, respectful, considerate, competent, and organized. I love to take up new
challenges. I can also work under pressure and I have ability for the leadership. I am a lover of
travel/culture, people and hope to continue my career overseas for years to come.
