About
Dear Sir Madam
With over 22 years of experience in education, language teaching, and student support, I bring a wealth of knowledge, skills, and dedication to fostering inclusive and engaging learning environments. My passion for teaching and commitment to student development align closely with the values and goals of your institution.
In my current role as Senior Progression Coach at DePaul International Charity, I work with young people aged 16–25 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. A key part of my role involves providing tailored support to help them overcome barriers and achieve their potential. This experience has deepened my understanding of the diverse needs of learners and the importance of creating a supportive and inclusive educational environment.
Previously, I served as a Headmistress and Arabic Language Teacher at a weekend Arabic school in London, where I taught students aged 5–16 and adults. I developed and delivered engaging lesson plans, adapted teaching methods to meet individual learning needs, and managed school operations. My ability to inspire and motivate students, coupled with my strong organisational skills, enabled me to create a positive and effective learning environment.
Additionally, my experience as a Private Arabic Language Teacher and ESOL Tutor has further honed my teaching skills. I have successfully taught students from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, tailoring my approach to their unique needs and abilities. My qualiKications, including a CELTA, PTLLS, TFEL, and Level 4 Diploma in Teaching Assistance (HLTA) have equipped me with the pedagogical knowledge and practical skills to deliver high-quality education.
Key highlights of my teaching experience and qualiKications include:
• Diverse Teaching Background: Experience teaching Arabic, English, and ESOL to students of all ages and abilities, both in the UK and internationally.
• Curriculum Development: Skilled in designing and delivering lesson plans that cater to individual learning styles and needs.
• Student Support: Proven ability to provide one-to-one support, address learning difKiculties, and foster student conKidence and independence.
• Leadership in Education: Experience as a Headmistress, managing staff, overseeing school operations, and liaising with parents and external organisations.
• Cultural Sensitivity: Fluent in English and Arabic, with a deep understanding of multicultural and multilingual learning environments.
I am a patient, empathetic, and dedicated educator with a passion for helping students achieve their full potential. I believe in creating a positive and inclusive classroom environment where every student feels valued and supported. My ability to build strong relationships with students, colleagues, and parents, combined with my
commitment to continuous professional development, makes me a strong candidate for this role.
I am available for an interview at your convenience and can be reached at [Phone: 07886955578] or nihayasinaan77@yahoo.co.uk. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to School/Institution mission of providing exceptional education and support to its students.
Yours sincerely,
Nihaya Al_othmani
