Summary

I am a Tunisian English language lecturer with a Masterʼs degree (MA) in Applied Linguistics from the University of kairouan, Tunisia and a Cambridge CELTA Certificate. My professional experience started immediately after I obtained my BA in English language, literature, and civilization in 2011. I have worked in different schools and institutions, and taught students from different majors and academic backgrounds. I have also been keen on pursuing my postgraduate studies to widen my knowledge of the field of language learning/teaching, and be better qualified for teaching as I obtained my MA in Applied Linguistics from the University of Kairouan (Al Qairawen) in 2015. My qualifications include many years of teaching experience at various levels (elementary and Upper-intermdiate). In my most recent position as EFL lecturer, I provided effective classroom management, creative lesson plans, detailed student evaluations and highly praised instructional delivery.
