I am the Managing Director of Kalimat Language and Cultural Centre. I have been teaching Arabic for the last 22 years, 13 of them at the British Council and the rest in Kalimat. After graduating from the faculty of Engineering in 1985, I completed my military service and decided that teaching Arabic was my passion. I passed the TAFL exam (Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language) and have been teaching since then.

I have been an Arabic instructor for more than 25 years. I have taught Arabic in many schools in Cairo as well as one summer school in Middlebury in the United States. I also taught at the Royal School of Defence in England.
