My Name of Fuad Anzarouti. Personally, I have had a hugely positive experience of both primary and secondary education as well as administrative experience. I am applying for Director of Learning Languages because I feel I have the potential to inspire and encourage teachers and students of all abilities to reach their full potential.

My work experience allowed me to experience life in a primary, middle, and high school setting from a teacher's perspective. I enjoyed the way that every day is different, and that each employee is unique. In addition, I am also studying for my PhD, as this would give the option of teaching in higher education after completing my postgraduate studies. I finished my master's degree 2 years ago in Curriculum and Instruction. During my education, I have consistently enjoyed teaching. My favorite aspect of education and teaching is researching. On a Wednesday morning during my free periods, I have arranged a work experience placement at a local primary school. This has given me a great insight into the work of primary school teachers, together with the challenges and situations they encounter. I have been able to provide extra support for individual pupils who are underachieving in literacy and encouraged them to learn. My interpersonal skills have improved immensely as I have to communicate with children from Primary 1 to secondary 13 with different abilities, religions and cultures. It is both challenging and extremely enjoyable. The most enjoyable aspect for me is helping with small group work and projects with secondary 7 to 13 classes, assisting the students in lessons such as Arabic and English or using ICT as an educational and motivational tool. It is very rewarding as I see students who struggled in these areas improve.

As further evidence of my patient and caring nature, I have taken part in the school's Community Care program in which I visited a residential care home once a week where I conversed with the residents. It was enjoyable to hear about their childhood experiences and the past from their personal points of view. This program has aided me in being more approachable, confident, and trustworthy as I performed songs for residents, and read novels and poems to them. In school, I have been an active member of the School's Reading Committee, holding the position of Chairperson for many years.
