Teaching is my passion. My extensive experience and skills have shaped my strong desire to teach. Since childhood, I've been fascinated by language, leading me to pursue a Bachelor's in English Language and Literature and a Master's in TESOL. I’ve taught English to children in China and teenagers in the UK, finding great joy in the role. Over the past ten years, I’ve taught at language schools, universities, and colleges in Iran, China, and England, refining my class management and lesson planning skills. In Iran, I began teaching English and business. In China, I taught English to children and managed successful summer programs. In the UK, I designed innovative lessons at Brighton Language College while studying for my master's. I seek a PGCE to qualify to teach in the UK and embrace its student-centered, inclusive education system. I believe education can change lives and communities. My goal is to create an engaging classroom where every student is motivated to reach their potential. A PGCE will help me contribute to and learn from a community that values excellence in teaching. I am excited to bring my international experience to the UK, learn from its best practices, and share my insights. My goal is to motivate, educate, and make a meaningful impact on my students' lives.

During her MSc at Jammu University, she realised teaching’s vital role in shaping ideas and broadening understanding. She believes education is a social responsibility, essential for developing scientific curiosity and logical thinking in young minds.
