I moved to Dubai in 2006 where I started as an Islamic Education teacher and quickly moved on to become Head of the Islamic Education Department. My extensive experience and attention to student needs have allowed me to achieve tremendous success in this subject area. Through my ability to bridge the gap between Western teaching methodologies and Eastern culture, I immediately developed a passion for the improvement of teaching and learning Arabic and Islamic Education. My work has been recognized throughout international schools across the UAE as having improved the quality of teaching in Islamic Education and positively impacted student learning.
