I am an experienced Mathematics teacher with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics. I spent 4 years teaching Mathematics in Abu Dhabi before moving to Dubai, where I continued teaching for 3 years and served as the Head of Mathematics. Additionally, I took on the role of Assessment Coordinator at the same school. Currently, I will be the Head of Mathematics in the primary department at Sharjah International Private School. In my years of experience, I have found that to achieve holistic learning, students must learn how to apply and innovate concepts in real-world scenarios where it matters most.
