Saud Al-Ghamdi, a mother, said she only came to know that her daughter was facing difficulties in mathematics through a WhatsApp group the teacher had set up.


She said she discovered that her daughter's problem was due to a lack of monitoring and follow up at home.


Suad noted that the program allowed her to communicate with her daughter's teacher and ask her advice to sort out the difficulties.


She added that the teacher cooperated with her and that in turn was instrumental in helping her daughter to pass her mathematics exams.

A female named Suad misspelled and was written Saud. It is well known in S. Arabia that Saud can't be female at all. In addition to that, I want to correct that in a simple, short statement.


Would it be correct to write the following?

Saud is a male name not a female. It is Suad.


We don’t have a female name called Saud in S. Arabia. Suad can be a female name.

I'm afraid this English language forum can't adjudicate on such matters.

It's OK like that, if you put a comma after "name".

How about a simple "you misspelled 'Suad' in the first line?"

It is Suad.

This bit doesn't work well for me. You could use The correct spelling is Suad.
