Miss Hassina and Miss Marie

Hi, I am Hassina Ouali the new French teacher for the Arabian Oryx class.  I am from Algeria, and hold a bachelor's degree with work experiences in the US and UAE.  My last assignment was as an elementary and secondary French and Maths teacher for the last five years.  My husband and I moved to Dubai ten years ago and we have two years-old twins.  Besides being with children, I love swimming, movies, cooking and traveling.  I am fluent in French and converse comfortably in English.  However, I am a firm believer that children will always learn any language as long as they are taught with love and smile!

Hi, my name is Marie-Emmanuelle Ponge, I come from Lyon in France.  I've been in Dubai for three years with my husband and my daughter.  I like children and I am really impatient and excited to teach them my native language and try to develop their interest for the French culture in The Children's Garden Jumeira as well.  In my previous company in France I was working as a saleswoman and I was also in charge of development of the website of our office.  When I was a student I spent a lot of time with children as a babysitter and I also did the same job for friend's children while my first year in Dubai.  I enjoy spending my sparetime with my family.
