MY STORY
My journey as an educator began with a fervent passion for mathematics and a deep-seated belief in the transformative power of education. Having witnessed the limitations of traditional teaching methods within scholastic systems, I was driven to innovate and create a more engaging and effective learning environment for my students.
In my classrooms, I introduced innovative approaches such as the “Problem of the Day” and “Trick of the Day,” which not only made learning enjoyable but also significantly improved students’ performance. Recognizing the need for inclusivity and support, I became a staunch advocate for students with educational disabilities and championed diversity within the classroom.
My commitment to redefining education extended beyond the confines of the classroom. I organized events such as “the Fall Event,” which combined math and art to raise funds for charities, instilling in my students the importance of social responsibility and real-life application of academic concepts.
Participating in competitions such as the ‘Math and Science Fair’ at the American University of Beirut allowed my students to showcase their creativity and mastery of mathematical concepts, earning accolades and recognition for their achievements.
Throughout my teaching career, I have remained dedicated to continuous improvement, seeking opportunities to enhance my skills and stay abreast of the latest educational methodologies. My students have been my greatest source of pride, their success and accomplishments serving as a testament to the impact of effective teaching.
As I continue on this journey, I am fueled by the belief that every child deserves access to quality education and the opportunity to realize their full potential. My mission is to inspire and empower the next generation of learners, fostering a love for learning that extends far beyond the confines of the classroom.
Thank you for joining me on this extraordinary journey of education and discovery.
