I have over 30 years of experience working in academia, corporate institutions, marketing companies, etc., and look forward to using the skills and knowledge I've collected to help students from diverse backgrounds progress in their future careers. For the past three decades, I have worked at various Academic Colleges, one of the higher educational institutions in the KSA, corporate institutions, and various other workplaces. In these roles, I have taught students as a Vocational Business Instructor, creating my own syllabi and lesson plans. My primary areas of interest include teaching Business, English as a Foreign Language and Computer Applications Technology.In these roles, I have also served as a National Examiner, an ICDL coordinator, an ICDL Instructor, a Teacher of English as a Foreign Language, an ESL Instructor, a marketer, a project manager, etc. By working with these students, I discovered the joy of guiding young people through their academic decisions. Five years ago, I began working as an ESL / EFL Teacher/Trainer/Instructor for various age groups and various English levels. While having my own businesses in 1. Marketing of Educational Software and 2. Administering Polygraph Examinations, I have gained experience in various business-related areas such as the Start-up processes including funding, various insurance policies, location and renting properties, various point of sale IT systems for business- sales, labour relations policies, and procedures, Health and Safety policies and procedures, etc..
