Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! Welcome to my fun-corner. I have been in the teaching profession for over 10 years now and have passionately fallen in love with it every moment. I have been conducting engaging classes for young learners ranging a wide variety of topics including English (Reading, Writing & Speaking), Life Skills, Environmental/Plant Sciences, Geography, Hindi, Malayalam, Yoga and Art.
I firmly believe that, "Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel." and so my classes are always about 3 I's, Interesting, Interactive and Inspiring.
I focus on classes from a large range of topics that are engaging and cater to every student's needs and interests. My experience as a teacher for over a decade has gifted me with a large toolbox of methods and ideas that I can use to help each student feel comfortable, curious and connected to their learning experiences.
I have always believed in hands on activities which are very interactive, engaging and interesting and that is exactly what you will find in all my classes here.
I am a Post-graduate in English Literature. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Education and a diploma in Aviation, hospitality, travel and tourism. I am a trained Montessori teacher and have taught kids from Kindergarten to Grade-12. I am also a Yoga enthusiast and have been practicing for over a decade.
When I am not teaching, either I am scribbling my thoughts on my blog page, curled up in a corner with an amazing book and a cup of coffee, or you would find me exploring places and doing some fun outdoor activity.
I am looking forward to some amazing sessions together. :)
