About

I am a certified teacher in both the IB and the French National Education system, with extensive experience teaching Business Management and Economics in international schools. Having worked in different countries, I bring a global perspective and an inclusive approach to education.

Currently a doctoral researcher in Educational Sciences, I am passionate about innovative and adaptive pedagogies that foster understanding, autonomy, and motivation among diverse learners. I also support students with their Extended Essays (EE) and Internal Assessments (IA), helping them reach excellence through structured and engaging guidance. I am also the TOK lead teacher.

Beyond teaching, I enjoy yoga, nature walks, and travelling, activities that inspire balance and curiosity, values I also bring into my classroom.

Teaching experience

I have been a certified teacher in the French National Education system since 2010. I first worked for seven years in France as an Economics and Business Studies teacher in high schools, where I developed numerous educational projects and passed the agrégation examination.

From 2017 to 2020, I lived in Dubai, teaching in various international institutions such as the Lycée International Français, the Alliance Française, and an American school, which gave me valuable exposure to diverse educational systems and multicultural classrooms.

I then moved to Egypt, where I taught in primary schools in both Cairo and Alexandria. This was a deliberate choice to broaden my pedagogical perspective and focus on innovative teaching methods rather than disciplinary content alone.

After returning to France, I spent three years teaching in an IB World School, where I taught Economics (DP) and Individuals and Societies (MYP). During this time, I created a Model United Nations (MUN) workshop, led an Erasmus+ international project, and completed a Master's degree in Educational Research, which led to my current doctoral studies in Educational Sciences.

This year, I have returned to Egypt, where I currently teach IB Diploma Economics and Business Management while pursuing my PhD on ADHD learners in international contexts.

Teaching methods

I am a certified IB and French National Education teacher with extensive experience teaching Business Management and Economics at IB Diploma and high school levels. I also guide students through their Extended Essays (EE) and Internal Assessments (IA) in both subjects.

Each session begins with a thinking routine inspired by Harvard's Project Zero, encouraging reflection and conceptual understanding. My lessons are built on an interactive platform combining structured notes, learning apps, real-world examples, and press articles, offering multiple entry points to meet diverse learner profiles and support inquiry-based learning and Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills.

I integrate project-based learning and a positive pedagogy inspired by Nonviolent Communication principles, for which I am trained and certified. I adopt an innovative and caring approach, aiming to foster curiosity, autonomy, and self-confidence in each student.
