Arabic Team

MR. HAZEM

Arabic Coordinator

 

Hello, I am Mr. Hazem, the Arabic Coordinator at the English Modern School Khor.  I have been working in education since 2001 and I am originally from Egypt. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Arabic and Islamic Studies and completed my Master’s degree in International Education from the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo in 2018. Currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Educational Technology.

My teaching experience includes working in UAE and Kuwait where I taught students in middle school to Grade 12, as well as adults. My areas of expertise include teaching Arabic conversation skills, Cambridge IGCSE, and AS Level Arabic and Islamic studies. It gives me immense pleasure to share my previous teaching experiences with the fantastic family at EMS Khor.

My credentials also include being an accredited examiner from Cambridge, and I have presented several books on supporting curricula. Two of the books I drafted for the IGCSE curriculum are currently taught in most international schools that teach the British curriculum. The Ministry of Education in Qatar has verified both of these books as well. 

My goal is to make education more fun and enjoyable to our learners, incorporating interactive activities and technology into my lessons. I believe that engaging students in their learning not only helps them retain information better, but also instills a love for learning that will benefit them in their future endeavors. I am excited to work with the learners at EMS Khor and contribute to their overall academic and personal growth. I am confident that together, we can create a positive and supportive learning environment where every child feels empowered and motivated to reach their full potential. I look forward to the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the learners at EMS Khor.
