Jameel Kobeissi

With a strong educational background in Microbiology and Immunology, combined with extensive teaching and management experience, I am confident that I am the ideal candidate to contribute to the success of your institution.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated a passion for science education and a commitment to fostering a stimulating learning environment for students. I recently completed my Master of Science (Year 1) in Microbiology and Immunology at the esteemed American University in Beirut, building upon my solid foundation in the subject matter. My educational qualifications, including a Teaching Diploma in Education and a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the Lebanese International University, equip me with the pedagogical skills and content knowledge necessary to excel in the role of Science Subject Leader.

As a High School Biology Teacher at Al Ittihad Private School - Al Mamzar Campus, I have gained valuable experience in delivering engaging and comprehensive instruction to students in Grades 10-11-12. Working with the AP Curriculum and American Core Curriculum, I have consistently sought innovative ways to inspire students, foster critical thinking, and promote scientific inquiry. I have successfully created a positive and inclusive learning environment that encourages students to explore their interests and reach their full potential.

My previous roles as a Biology Teacher at Wellspring Learning Community and a Science Teacher at Beirut Annunciation College have further enhanced my teaching abilities and provided me with exposure to diverse curricula such as IGCSE, IB (MYP-DP), and American-Lebanese standards. These experiences have enabled me to adapt to various educational approaches, address individual learning needs, and collaborate effectively with colleagues to develop and align curriculum materials.

In addition to my teaching experience, I have also excelled in management roles. As the Head of Management at BEE Educational Center, I successfully supervised a team of 20 employees and teachers, overseeing curriculum development and ensuring the delivery of high-quality education to Syrian Refugee and Lebanese Academically Weak Students. My leadership skills, coupled with my ability to foster a nurturing and inclusive learning environment, resulted in significant academic progress and student well-being.

What sets me apart as a candidate for the Science Subject Leader position is my dedication to continuous professional growth and my commitment to educational excellence. I stay updated with the latest advancements in science and education, and I leverage technology to enhance the learning experience. Proficient in educational technologies such as virtual labs, interactive whiteboards, and learning management systems, I effectively integrate these tools to create engaging and interactive lessons.

Furthermore, I am thrilled to bring my research experience and scientific publications to the role. My paper on "Antibiotic Resistance: blaNDM, mcr-1 and mcr-2, The Blacklisted Genes" published in the International Journal of Clinical Studies and Medical Case Reports showcases my ability to contribute to scientific research and stay at the forefront of advancements in the field.
