After graduating in 2013, I embarked on a two-year adventure in North America, working in the Travel Amusement industry. In the personnel office, I assisted with hiring and onboarding, managing payroll, and handling administrative duties. Being far away from home for long periods of time, this position taught me to be strong, independent, self-reliant, flexible and resilient.

Upon returning to South Africa, I served as a Personal Assistant to a Managing Director in the Sports & Entertainment sector. This role enhanced my organizational and administrative skills, providing crucial support in a fast-paced industry.

I then transitioned to the automotive industry, where for four years, I thrived as a Sales and Marketing Manager. My responsibilities included leading a sales team, managing sales pipelines, orchestrating both boardroom and virtual meetings, and driving marketing and advertising initiatives across social media platforms. I also kept the company website up-to-date, attended expos, and ensured exceptional client satisfaction. During this position, I learnt various skills such as Digital Marketing, Marketing Communications, Critical Thinking and Creativity.

For the past three years, I have been dedicated to enhancing the educational experience of 200 first-year students at UNISA's College of Human Sciences. As a Teaching Assistant, I provided comprehensive support in navigating the online learning platform, announced critical assessment deadlines, attended online classes, and addressed student queries regarding the module and their assessments. My main duties included marking online assessments, submitting my marking to the department for moderation, releasing marks to the students and delivering constructive feedback to promote academic success. This position has enhanced my communication and time management skills.

To summarize the above, I bring a wealth of diverse experience and a proven track record of excellence in various fields.

I started teaching English back in 2011. Since then, I've worked with professionals and university students of various language skills and levels. I am from Aleppo, Syria and I currently live in Istanbul, Turkey. Being raised by two teachers, teaching has always been my passion. My other passion is technology, and teaching online is the perfect combination of the two, which is why I enjoy and excel at what I do.
Looking forward to seeing you in my class!
In my free time, I enjoy going for walks, reading books, and watching TV series.
