Each week we will feature a member of our community across all areas of the school including students, teachers, parents, support staff and more, to get to know members of our family a little better. If you would like to be featured, please email: newsletters@bisad.ae.

Name and a little bit about you:

Hi, I'm Nadia Ezzat. I have just started working at BIS Abu Dhabi, but I have been teaching for over ten years, both in the UK and internationally. I am half Egyptian and half Welsh, but unfortunately speak only basic Arabic. I really hope to learn more.

How long have your children been at BIS Abu Dhabi?

Layla my daughter just started FS1! I also have twin girls, they are ten months old.

Where is “home” for you?

Home is both London where I grew up but also Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, as we also spent many years there.

What do you do in Abu Dhabi?

I teach English to secondary students here at BIS Abu Dhabi.

What brought your family to Abu Dhabi?

My husband grew up in Abu Dhabi, so we always planned to settle here.

Tell us something that few people know about you:

I used to own and run a Middle Eastern restaurant in Manchester.

What is your favourite thing about being a part of the BIS Abu Dhabi community?

I love the friendly staff here at the school; everyone has made me feel so welcome.

What do you enjoy most about living in Abu Dhabi?

I love how safe this city is! I feel that I can really relax and not worry about my children’s safety – which is so rare.
