PROFILE

I am an energetic, dynamic and highly motivated individual with proven excellent people skills. I am very passionate about teaching English as a foreign/second language through effective communicative skills. I am currently working at the Royal Saudi Air Defense Forces Institute (RSADFI) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia through Princeton English Academy

(PEA).

I have taught English language skills to young and mature adults from different nationalities to help them gain confidence using the English language and I have helped individuals to attain a level of English proficiency, which would allow them to communicate in everyday situations. Empowering learners with the confidence to use the English language in both work and social environments. I have been able to achieve this by utilizing my ability to engage the learners through using teaching materials that were both engaging and appropriate for their needs. Observing learners achieve their goals provides me with job satisfaction. My passion for TESOL has lead me to continue to deepen my knowledge and further develop professionally in my chosen field of work. I am currently enrolled on an EdD in TESOL

(Doctorate of Education) program at the University of Exeter, which I am thoroughly enjoying. Further research into the field of TESOL is something that I feel is essential. Honesty, integrity, trustworthiness, morality, diligence and fairness are all attributes I have embedded in me.
