Testimonials

From Kevin Simpson, KDSL Founder
I have known Maha and Michelle for over nine years. We collaborated together on several education projects in the United Arab Emirates at their respective schools and as consultants. This work ranged on a variety of topics, such as coaching, curriculum, and teaching and learning. They are sagacious, hardworking, diligent, and always focused on ensuring the whole school community thrives and achieves. I give the highest recommendation to the Ascend Education Consulting team.
Samer N. Wehby, AUD Student
Michelle was my professor during the last semester in American University Dubai. The skills I have learnt and applied in classroom management and understanding the KHDA inspection requirements were invaluable. Thank you for being my mentor and hope our roads will cross again one day.
Nikki Fiely, Coordinator ADNOC Schools
