Testimonials

Empowered learners and inspired educators

Mr. Ali has been such an amazing and inspirational trainer and coach for our school. He had the hard task of coming in at the end of the year, when everyone is tired, and training staff on a new way of planning. Teachers and coordinators have been so motivated by his training and support that they are asking when he will be next, and his time is booked up before he even arrives! He has breathed life into the process!

UAE – Head of Primary

Ali is passionate about the IB, and he models the learner profile in his professional and personal life. Ali seeks solutions to problems and is a lifelong learner. Ali is very innovative. His passion for arts, learning, teaching, and professional growth is very visible. Ali founded the school training center. I illustrated his first picture books for kids published in 2013

Safa Badih

Lebanon – PYP/MYP Art teacher

Ali and I have collaborated professionally for many years. I regard him as a leading figure in bringing constructivist, inquiry learning, and teaching to teachers. Ali has always been a visionary, quick to understand new concepts, and facile with leading teachers toward deeper thinking in planning meaningful units of study. In his approach to his personal learning, he uses social media with competence, maintains relationships with educational leaders and organizations, and attends conferences and training opportunities.

What sets Ali apart from other educational leaders is his fluency in three languages and thus his ability to deliver work in Arabic, French, and English and to author books for young children. Ali is an exceptional leader.
