About Me

I started as early as 1988 with the teachers training program provided by the school of education- University of Ain Shams in Cairo- Egypt. I was teaching high school students mathematics for five hours a week, and I got my bachelors in Science and Education in 1989 to be ready to join one of the public schools as a middle school math teacher in Egypt. In 1991, I moved to work at the experimental language schools using the English language as a medium until 1995. I gained exposure to modern methodology in teaching mathematics, new skills and practical tools of this field while attending an in-service training in teaching mathematics in Heriot Watt University (Moray House Institute) in Edinburgh- Scotland in 1995.From 1996 to 2000 I worked at various private schools as a high school math teacher in Egypt, from 2001 to 2007 I was appointed by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign affairs (The Egyptian Fund for Technical Support with Africa) to work as an expert in teaching mathematics in Chad. I was privileged to join University of Central Arkansas as a Masters student and a graduate assistant during the 2008-2009 school year where I taught college Algebra and business calculus beside assisting three professors of the department of mathematics in marking and checking various assignments, from 2010 to 2014 I was honored to win the opportunity to work at University College London- Center for Preparatory Studies based in Nazarbayev University in Astana, the wonderful capital of Kazakhstan, as a Fellow in teaching mathematics, finally in 2014-15 I joined Manarat Arriyadh international school as an intensive mathematics program leader rather than teaching mathematics for juniors and seniors, over all I used to be a public school mathematics teacher employed by the Egyptian Ministry of Education since 1989, I worked in middle and high schools in different types such as private and experimental schools as well.

Q&A with Kam

Teaching Philosophy I am a proponent of a learner focused communicative mathematics teaching approach. I believe that as a teacher I should seek to motivate students and help them gain more interest in the subject matter I am teaching. I want my students to enjoy and feel comfortable learning in my classroom. At the same time, I also expect my students to work hard and actively participate in my lessons. Students who do not meet this requirement may be required to repeat lessons or courses. I also believe in focusing on understanding over learning by heart and creative analysis as opposed to routine imitation. Finally, I believe it is important as a teacher to show humility, compassion and genuine care for my students and to respect them as individuals. I understand that my responsibility is not just to teach my students mathematics, but also to teach them from a holistic perspective how to have a meaningful and successful life.
