Ustatha Jamila Naji, Arabic
jnaji@luaky.org
Assalamu alaikum! Alhamdulilah
I have been teaching for 30 years! I initially started in Libya, where I taught
English and Geography to middle school. In the United States, I had the
opportunity to teach in various cities including Portland, Knoxville, Richmond,
and finally Lexington, Kentucky. Here, I started my teaching under Fayette
County as a preschool instructor with the Head-Start Program. During that
time, I completed a degree in Early Childhood Education at BCTC and later achieved
a BA in Psychology from Midway University. I also recently received a
certificate in Al-Qaida Nooraniya. My LUA career began the first year the
school opened, where I taught Kindergarten for six years. Currently, I teach Arabic
and Quran across different grade levels.
In addition, I am fortunate to have been teaching at the Masjid Bilal Ibn Rabah
Sunday School for almost 25 years. Teaching has always been my passion and
every year is a new chance to help strengthen our new generations. I look
forward to beginning a new school year at LUA inshallah! |
