ARTIST, EDUCATOR
Reine
Reine Kabban graduated from San Diego State University with a degree in Applied Linguistics, a certificate of EFL, and a minor in British Literature. She traveled the world teaching English and obtained an ESL certificate and CELTA from Cambridge while in Malta.
Besides education, she developed a keen interest in meditation and yoga, which took her to India for several years, practicing under the guidance of her teacher, spending almost a year in silence before coming back to the West with her newfound passion, which led her to teach yoga for the following few years.
She also has a natural artistic side, discovering and compounding on her natural abilities. She became a singer with her band, Cushion, and trained in classical Arabic dance, teaching and performing for years to come.
Her combination of studies and life experience, added to her interest in delving into studies that concern emotional intelligence and nonviolent communication makes Reine a unique educator that is able to create pedagogy that is engaging and relevant, and touches on self development.
