Ph.D. in Arabic Literature and Criticism from the University of Jordan with 17 years of teaching experience. Specialized in creating immersive Arabic curricula with a focus on the communicative approach. Proven track record in providing educational resources in diverse settings, both face-to-face and online. Seeking accreditation as an ACTFL OPI Arabic Tester to assess interviews accurately. Committed to ongoing professional development and integration of teaching and testing principles.

For 8 years, English as a second language has shaped my journey. From teaching in Vietnam, Canada, and online to my current role in Tampa, language education is my forte. As an RISD CE student, I channel my creativity into freelance graphic design projects and painting during my free moments. Welcome to my world, where language meets artistry.

For nearly a decade, I've been deeply involved in ESOL, with most of my experience gained in Moscow, Russia. When not teaching, you'll often find me on the tennis court, engrossed in a game of poker, or exploring the strategic world of chess. Family-wise, I'm blessed with two children and a loving wife, and I couldn't be happier living in sunny Tampa.

Teaching is my passion. I love to watch kids/adults learning and growing in their language. My goal is to finish my PhD in applied linguistics as soon as I can.
