Get to know me!

          Hi all, Alex here - thank you for visiting my site! Here's a little information about me and what I do.

​

          I'm originally from the UK and studied Modern Standard Arabic and Middle Eastern History at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. I've loved languages and linguistics since I was a child, but I rediscovered this love at university when I took Arabic. Arabic opened up a world of grammatical intricacy, cultural diversity, and linguistic curiosity that ultimately led to me changing my major to Middle Eastern History and the rest is, well, history.

​

          Since graduating, I've continued my studies in Amman, Jordan, focusing on Jordanian Colloquial Arabic, alongside developing my skills as a teacher and editor. Whilst studying at St Andrews, I also gained a Level 5 TEFL Diploma. In addition to this, I have experience teaching English, initially as a volunteer working with refugees, and more recently teaching both independently, and in a language centre. Due to demand, I have also begun providing freelance services in editing and tutoring. I am passionate about making education accessible to everyone in a fun and engaging way.
