About Mariam
I am a native speaker of Arabic with a wealth of experience in teaching, learning and management. Throughout my career, I worked passionately and consistently to perfect my teaching and communication skills, and to inspire both children and adult learners to take an interest in the Arab world and its culture. I am a passionate leader and always have the best interest of my students, staff and colleagues at the heart of what I do.
