Jacqueline Bushara,
Secondary Teacher
I joined the PCS family in 2021 as a Chemistry and Biology teacher for year 9 (checkpoint) and year 10 (IGCSE).
I graduated as a pharmacist from the University of Medical Sciences and Technology (UMST) and I have a master's degree in clinical pharmacy. I changed my career in 2015 to become a teacher after having met the requirements of a number of teaching courses offered by the British Council. I believe that teachers make a real difference in the lives of children, shaping them to become strong, educated, and well-behaved adults. I very much want to be part of that.

Hibatalla Hatim Hussein , Arabic Head of Secondary Arabic
I have had a total of twelve years experience in both Arabic and Islamiyat subjects, starting as assistant 2008 and now holding a teachers position. My academic qualifications include a Bachelors degree in English and I am a registered IGCSE Arabic teacher. To improve by approach to teaching and learning I successfully completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Education.
As part of my skill set I have focused on teaching Arabic as a foreign language besides Arabic first language always striving to explore more productive approaches to learning, filling in gaps where limited understanding occurs in students. Special needs candidates are close to my heart and I have developed better approaches to meet their challenges.
Being a mother of 3, I understand the difficulties of being a teacher and a parent, but I believe I am finding the right balance to undertake both successfully.

Mina George Milad, Secondary Physics Teacher
I'm very proud to be a staff member of purple crayon international school . I started my teaching career when i was in the first year in the university of medical science and technology. I was the dux of my batch for 5 consecutive years scoring a gpa ( grade point average) of 5 out of 5. I got inspired in this field when i was in the early stages of school whereby i used to gather my colleges and start to teach them topics that were a bit hard for them to understand. This my fifth year of teaching in international schools and i wish its not the last. This is my first year in purple crayon, its such an amazing community to teach whereby we all feel like its our second home. I wish to be there for all of my life time.
