WORK EXPERIENCE

I completed my first internship in Solidere, a Lebanese company situated in the

city center for q duration of 2 months (from July 1, 2013 - August 30, 2013) in
three departments: Corporate finance, accounting and audit. Putting into practice
the theoretical and methodological acquired tools and identifying my skills and
was the goal of my training.

From September 2, 2013 till September 30, 2013, I completed an internship at the
banque du Liban (located in Hamra). During this internship, I attended seminars
that summarize the functioning of the banking sector. More broadly, I had an
experience, develop my knowledge and be aware of new policies adopted by the
Lebanese central bank because it is constantly changing.

This internship was an additional experience in the field of management. Many people I
met helped me confirm the vision that I had made in previous years, which is
teamwork. I applied some of my knowledge in management but also relational. I also
had an idea about the organization and regulation of the central bank even if the course
is not directly related to the training received. This observation of the second year
course pushed me to confirm my career plan and identify facets of business
management.

Teaching experience
My passion for teaching started when I was a very young kid and until now, I feel like I
want to be a successful corporate analysis and a successful university business teacher.
Most of my students improved my behavior and my experience in teaching. They taught me that
every student has a different way of assimilating the lesson. Many of my students used to think
that they cannot succeed and that they are weak and my job was to convince them that they
can. My job is not only to teach students and to help them obtaining high grades. My job is to
help them modify the way they study, the way they think sometimes, and how to read the given

information and how to analyses it.

I am teaching my father who is a 50 years old man to study and obtain his GED, or
General Equivalency Diploma, which is an equivalent to a high school degree.

Upon my return to Lebanon from usa, I started to tutor our neighbor's daughter. She was
a very exceptional ten years old girl who was very weak in most of the school subjects
especially in math subject. After three months of hard lessons, she is now one of the
most successful students in her class. I helped her to modify her way of studying and she
helped me to improve my experience in teaching, nevertheless, in disciplining students.

While I was visiting the United States, I started to teach math to one of the family
members who lives in the United States. A world study of students and their progress in
the math and science field shows that American students are lacking a lot of information
in both of these fields and are not trained to think critically in both of these subjects
while in school. So it was a whole different experience for me, having to deal with a
totally new type of student. The person I helped was a very talented student. He was a
genius at mastering the Computer Information Systems courses except the math ones. He
needed some help because he missed some critical analysis in math and I tried in two
months to teach him the basic rules in math and he ended up by passing the math course
with a good great.

In addition, I cannot forget my very special friend who attempted the brevet official
Lebanese exam that was required in order to move to the high school. After a six years of
none studying any theoretical issues, I influenced her to reattempt the official exam, and
I helped her in all the courses such as the French, the Arabic, the math, the biology,
chemistry, physics and nor.. I was not only her teacher, I didn't treat her as a special
student, and I was very tough with her. After two months of studying, she ended up by
achieving her goal and obtaining her Lebanese official brevet degree. It wasn't easy to
convince her to retake the same exam after 6 years of working and staying very away
from any lesson.

In high school, I used to teach my close friend math and I helped her a lot in order to
complete her high school degree. At the same time, I used to teach my youngest sister
economics that was required in order to graduate. One year later, I was asked to help my
colleagues in the universitys library, studying accounting, finance, math, and in many
other business lessons. Some of my colleagues I used to make group studies at home to
help others.

When I completed my Lebanese bachelor's degree. I started to teach my cousin math.

That girl was most of the time rebellious and very active. It wasn't easy for me to teach
her nor to find the easiest way to deliver the information.
