My name is Hanaa Elkassih. I was born and raised in Beirut-Lebanon. I am a graduate of Beirut University College with a B.S. in math. I also have a Bachelor degree of Arabic Language and arts (Literary-Linguistic Branch) from Lebanese University.

I attended many workshops in fostering Arabic Language interests (in Lebanon) and conducted many workshops in Arabic teaching and writing effective lesson plans (in Lebanon and Bahrain).

I completed 40 hours in Early Professional Development Program from University of Wisconsin-Stout (U.S.A.), and over 200 hours of continuing education from Region XI (U.S.A.).

  I have taught Arabic in many schools in Lebanon, Bahrain, and United States, and I have experience in teaching Elementary, Intermediate, and High school levels for 25 years. Each loop in my teaching life was an opportunity to meet new students and parents from different countries and cultures.

  My basic goals are to teach students to love learning, to help them believe in themselves, and encourage them to be productive. Tomorrow, we will be proud of what we’re building today.
