Bio
Suzannah Hall
I have known Huneza Usman for many years and have worked closely with her for 6 years at Emirates International School(EIS). During our time together at EIS Huneza held the role of Assistant Head of Mathematics which she did superbly well. When I stepped into the role of Head of Mathematics she was invaluable to me; her wisdom, guidance, and her measured response to any difficulties we encountered were instrumental. Huneza is also an excellent classroom teacher. She is thorough in her approach and diligent and hard working. Her students enjoyed her classes as she gave them confidence as mathematicians.

I absolutely love mathematics, and it is all because of Mrs Usman, cause she triggered the fun in mathematics for me. People always talk about how hard Math is and I always tell them it is not, but it largely depends on what teachers they had, and that I had an amazing High School teacher making math very naturally easy for me. Thank you very much, you were a great teacher, I will never forget this!
