About Us

Amanda Hasaneen

Lecturer

The breadth and depth of my personal profile covering a large portion of the spectrum within the educational field, along with my formal qualifications and experience, affords me the working knowledge to offer an employer immediate gains. My maturity to continue my learning on and off the job will compliment my profile and ensure the organization will be up to date.

All in all, I have 19 years of experience in teaching Adults English with various focuses, such as General English, Business English, IELTS preparation, tailored courses for corporate clients as well as Young Learner classes. 9 years of this experience has been gained teaching people in the United Arab Emirates.

The experience and knowledge I have gained throughout my academic and practical years has given me a vast insight into the field of education to benefit students. I have been an active IELTS examiner for the past 11 years and have also been teaching IELTS preparation courses for many years. I am currently holding an academic position, especially after undertaking the Cambridge DELTA and completing my Master’s degree in Education. I have a true passion for teaching and training and would like a more challenging post where I can gain more experience and progress professionally.

I believe that I am matured minded, hardworking and efficient when it comes to a specific job being done. I have been involved in several projects, several of which were done individually and in teams. This developed skills such as team orientation, cooperation and organization.
