About

Marwa El-Gaby: Study Success Coach | Speaker | Founder of Studious Muslimah.

I have been educating and inspiring younger generations for decades! I have worked in schools, universities, and various other educational settings. I am on a continual path to enhancing my own and others’ skills. At Studious Muslimah, I promote the invaluable skillset of knowing how to acquire useful knowledge; maintaining a balanced lifestyle; and using faith-centred approaches to personal development.

Amongst my university qualifications, are master’s degrees in Education and in Economics and Development. I presented my MA Education research findings during conferences at the University of Oxford and at the Middlesex University(Dubai). I published an article in the Educational Review journal. I worked at the University of Oxford on a research project tackling bullying in UK primary schools.

Recently, I was part of the Muslim Researchers’ Network (MRN) committee. I led the Mentorship and Research Communities team for 18 months.

I was selected to participate in the Young Muslim Leadership Programme (YMLP) at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies in summer of 2022. In 2023, I completed the Stage School course for public speaking at The Power of Voice Academy.

I completed a course by the Islamic Educator Learning Community (IELC) entitled: Dialogue in Islamic Classrooms: Using Halaqah to Develop Shakhsiyah. Besides my role at Studious Muslimah, I currently volunteer to lead a Girls’ Youth Club run by the Shropshire & Telford United Women’s Association (STUWA).

During my time in university, I was elected as the General Secretary for the Cardiff University student Islamic society, and helped in organising the FOSIS national Quran Competition and a Quran Camp. Currently, I am studying towards a qualification in the memorisation of the Holy Quran with a highly qualified teacher from the Green Lane Mosque. I teach Quran (Tajweed and Hifz) to female teenagers and ladies at beginner to intermediate level. I have an Ijazah in Al Jazariyyah.

I love to run! I ran the London marathon in 2022 and 2024. Currently, I am training for London marathon again whilst fundraising for Palestine with Charity Right. I am part of the Muslims Runners’ group, and volunteer amongst a team to write their newsletter.
