Dr. Kathy Watad

I arrived to Canada a few years ago, carrying inside me passion, eagerness and enthusiasm for learning, growing, expanding and engaging. In fact, education and consulting were and still are my  mission, not just work!

Back in Jerusalem, I dedicated almost twenty years in education, consulting and facilitation. I worked 18 years as a senior professor at the David Yellen Academic College for teachers . 

Here in London, I did a lot of work with immigrants and refugees and I felt the huge need for guidance and consultation in family issues, parenting and educational - cultural challenges.

I decided to go ahead and to open my unique services for immigrants in general and for the Arab community in particular.
