In this role, I have taken on the additional responsibility of supporting and organizing extra lessons for weaker students, helping them catch up with their peers. As a personal tutor, I work closely with individual students, identifying their academic, personal, and professional development needs. By setting targets and providing guidance, I ensure that students reach their full potential. Additionally, I conduct study skills sessions to equip students with essential tools for success.Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to make critical decisions, manage deadlines, and achieve goals. Whether it's completing schemes of work and lesson plans, producing assessments and reports, or interviewing potential students, I am meticulous in my approach to ensure quality outcomes.In my previous role as an Assistant SEND Caseworker with North Northamptonshire Council, I played a crucial role in managing caseloads and ensuring the smooth completion of Education, Health, and Care (EHC) needs assessments. This experience has provided me with a deep understanding of the importance of providing appropriate services and provisions to support children and young people in their education and healthcare outcomes. I have honed my skills in effective communication, problem-solving, and collaboration while working with healthcare professionals and other agencies.Furthermore, my experience as the Head of the English Department at Manchester International School (MIS) in Egypt showcased my leadership abilities. I worked closely with teachers to improve students' educational needs, encouraging the use of emergent and cross-curricular activities to maintain motivation within the classroom. By implementing Jolly Phonics, I enhanced students' blending and reading skills, ensuring their academic success.With a versatile background, I have also taught English curriculum, conducted training sessions for teachers, and served as a school counselor.
