Science Teacher at Al-Rowad International Schools
  • Saudi Arabia - Riyadh
  • August 2004 to August 2010

I taught Science to Grades 4, 5 & 6, Chemistry and Physics to Grade 7 and Grade 9 students at Al-Rowad International School. I also acted as deputy head of Science department and worked very closely with the head of department in terms of improving the science department. The school was in its early stages at the time and needed to integrate more practical work in to teaching in order to bring it up to date with the wider world. The lack of practical apparatus and chemicals was a hurdle for the staff to teach with having minimum amount of hands on practical and in some cases not even having the materials to offer even a demonstration in their classes. I was able to work with the head of department to bring the Science department up to date within the first year of my service. This was really appreciated by the head.
