Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
I am an educator and digital systems professional dedicated to bridging the gap between high-level technology and the classroom. With a background in Cybersecurity Management and hands-on experience in international British and IB schools, I specialize in preparing students for a safe, secure, and sophisticated digital future. Currently, I am pursuing my PGCE iQTS with the University of Sunderland (Sept 2026 intake). My mission is to move beyond "checkbox teaching" and join a high-performing school environment where I can be mentored by the best and inspire students to excel in ICT, Computing, and Business Studies. What I bring to the classroom: • Technical Depth: A Master’s degree in Cybersecurity Management, providing students with real-world insights into risk management, online safety, and digital governance. • Pedagogical Experience: Proven success in KS1–KS2 environments (including Aldenham Prep School Riyadh), focusing on digital literacy, student wellbeing, and effective behavior management. • Dual Expertise: The unique ability to teach both the technical "how" (Computing/ICT) and the strategic "why" (Business/Economics). • Safeguarding First: A deep commitment to digital safeguarding and data protection, ensuring that technology is used responsibly and ethically within the school community. I have thrived in multicultural, fast-paced environments where communication and accountability are critical. Whether I am managing complex network security or guiding a Year 5 student through their first coding project, my goal is to build environments rooted in trust, growth, and excellence. ✨ Let’s Connect! I am actively seeking connections with Headteachers, CPD Leads, and Educators in Riyadh who are passionate about high-quality teacher training and innovation. If your school values mentorship and is looking for a dedicated iQTS candidate for 2026, I would love to start a conversation.
