"Greetings, my name is Mrs. Mariam Khalil. I am originally from Egypt, located in North Africa. In July 2016, my family and I immigrated to the United States. As a non-native English speaker, I understand the challenges and frustrations that may arise for students learning a new language. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Education, specifically in teaching English as a second language, from Egypt University. I have 16 years of experience teaching at the advanced level, primarily in elementary and middle schools. I am excited to begin teaching high school and have recently obtained my South Carolina teaching license. In addition, I am currently pursuing a graduate degree in Learning Technology at Furman University. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, exercising, reading, playing with my family, and spending time with my four children. My values include family, faith, serving others, and leading a healthy lifestyle.
