...cooperated with Australian, Canadian, and British teaching associations. We, the English teachers had to attend international seminars and conferences about tutoring. We were updated with the latest methods of teaching. The second phase of my teaching experience was in teaching the two languages to Arabs and non-Arab students.

I hope to help students reach their fullest academic potential through collaborative tutoring.

Some students require...
