I hold a Master’s degree in Education Sciences, specializing in Preschool and Primary Education with a focus on Pedagogical Supervision. Currently, I serve as the Head of the Preschool and Primary Education Department and work as a teaching and internship supervisor at the Lebanese Institute of Educators (ILE) within Saint Joseph University of Beirut.

My research primarily centers around practice-based training, particularly drawing from my extensive experience in internship supervision as the coordinator at ILE. I am committed to updating my courses, and my research themes include French didactics, teaching methodology, children’s literature, and enhancing French language proficiency.

Additionally, I am dedicated to exploring peer tutoring and differentiated pedagogy—two contemporary themes that align with the department’s priorities. Currently, I am leading a departmental project on online internships, which has become especially relevant due to the experience during the COVID-19 pandemic
