Bery Saeed

A highly motivated, nurturing, and multilingual professional with a deep passion for supporting children's academic and linguistic development. As a native Arabic speaker who is also fluent in Kurdish and proficient in English, I bring a strong ability to facilitate communication for EAL (English as an Additional Language) learners and bridge gaps between schools and diverse families. Possessing practical experience in UK school governance and volunteer community support, I excel at working collaboratively within educational teams, supporting classroom teachers, and cultivating a safe, welcoming, and inclusive learning environment where pupils can thrive.
