Ghada Fraiwat

I have been teaching languages to students from different ages, needs, interests, abilities and a variety of backgrounds since 1991.

I have an in-depth knowledge of computers, both software and hardware that started in 1990 and has been developing since up to an expert professional level.

I am specialised and experienced in recreating and designing documents and templates, including research papers.

I have spent the last 24 years learning a large variety of subjects while successfully bringing up my children.

I integrate my skills and knowledge in most of what I do. For example, I use: British Sign Language in teaching language, storytelling in technical writing, programming skills in developing websites.
