Suzie Vesper - Grade Six

My name is Suzie Vesper, and I'm a Kiwi from New Zealand. I've taught for 29 years in various upper elementary and middle school settings. I have just completed my fifth year in Jeddah and my first year at AISJ. I have a strong interest in mathematics and enjoyed being a specialist math teacher for the 22/23 year after working previously as an elementary Grade 5 teacher. My husband, Corey, also works in the school and will be working as a kindergarten teacher for the 23/24 year. My children are both in the middle school so I have some insight into the age group. I have put together a series of links that you can use to prepare for sixth grade on this Google Doc.

If you have any questions, contact me here.

Ben Chwirut- Grade Seven

Hello, my name is Mr. Chwriut and I will be teaching Math 2 this year to our 7th graders. A little about me… I have been teaching for 7 years and have taught everything from 7th and 8th grade Math to Social Studies and Physical Science. Having taught all of those different subjects, I will say that Math is my favorite of them all. Outside of the classroom I enjoy playing sports such as golf, basketball and hockey, but will pretty much enjoy any sporting activity. I really love to read and will open a book any chance that I get. My most favorite activity is to spend time with my family and be active with my kids.

Ms. Ghia Ezzeddine - Grade Eight (Pre-AP Algebra 1)

Hi everyone, I am Ghia Ezzeddine and I will be teaching Pre-AP algebra 1 with Mr. Patrick Frankfort for the academic year 2023-2024. This will be my third year in AISJ and my 9th year in the field of teaching.

I studied 3 years Electrical and Computer Engineering at the American University of Beirut but since Math is my passion, I transferred to the Mathematics Department to become a Teacher, this is a decision I never regret!

Education : I hold a Bachelor Degree in Pure Mathematics from the American University of Beirut, TESOL diploma (American Institute),a Higher Education certificate ( Harvard Bok) and a Post Graduate teaching certificate from Moreland University. I started my Masters Degree in Educational Globalization from Moreland University Washington D.C hopefully to be finished this year! Wish we me luck.

During this summer I will be traveling to Lebanon to see my family and then to Greece to relax and enjoy my time.

Enjoy your summer break to the max! Recharge Fully and come back well energized :D
