I graduated from the Music Department at the Faculty of Education, Cairo University, in 2006 and later obtained a postgraduate diploma in Art Criticism, specializing in Music Criticism, in 2014. Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s in Music Criticism. With 20 years of teaching experience in international schools, including 12 years as a Head of Department, I have worked with students at all grade levels, from primary school to high school. My expertise spans a wide range of educational contexts, helping students develop a deep appreciation for music and fostering their creative potential. I hold several certifications, including a Teaching Methodologies Certification from Florida Atlantic University and Balanced Education Company (2024), an English Proficiency Certification from the International Center for Intercultural Communication at Indiana University (2024), and a TOEFEL Certification with a score of 525. Additionally, I earned a conference certification from the FAU & BalancED Conference on “The British & The American Systems: Similarities & Differences” in May 2024. I firmly believe that music plays a crucial role in every aspect of our lives and can be effectively integrated into all subject areas to enrich the learning experience.
