Ever since I wrote my first poem at 16, I knew that I would pursue creative and academic endeavours. This has been showcased by helping students develop their writing and feel confident presenting their work, not just in writing but also in speaking. When I pursued my MA in TESOL at the University of Portsmouth, I gained a new perspective on them. During my studies, I completed several courses, including a dissertation that established new criteria and an evaluation checklist aimed at helping elementary and pre-intermediate students become better intercultural communicators. Additionally, it prompted me to creatively adapt Lebanese state school textbooks, which made me realize that educational materials are as important as teaching practices. I also learned that international students, including myself, often face intercultural challenges, and guidance from international educators and learners can play a crucial role in bridging cultural gaps. As an "ESOL Teacher and an Administrative Assistant" at a college in Southampton, I provide English lessons to over 10 Entry 2 and Entry 3 students and focus on core skills such as communication, organization, and creativity. These skills help me build strong relationships with current and prospective students and provide valuable insights about the courses provided. They also enable me to develop a dynamic, step-by-step learning approach, which allows me to integrate different teaching methods, adapt textbooks, and engage learners throughout each lesson. Furthermore, these skills assist me in managing administrative tasks, such as assessing students' performance in the BTEC Taxi course and distributing forms based on specific criteria. The third skill helps me design lessons that emphasize not only content but also study skills that students can apply both inside and outside the classroom. As a result, students have become better self-learners and more confident in their language abilities, leading to an impressive pass rate of 80% among most students. Beyond my educational background and work experience, I continue to develop my artistic skills by engaging with art books and learning concepts such as lighting and shading, composition, layout, and foreshortening, while drawing sketches and paintings of both transcribed and freehand images. I also write articles on various topics of personal and professional interest. Lastly, I love nature and often take photographs for inspiration. I look forward to meeting like-minded professionals dedicated to designing courses with an artistic flair. Let's connect.
