Mehvash Peerbhoy English Language and Literature

As an educator with over 10 years of experience teaching English Language and Literature, I have handled ICSE, CBSE, IGCSE, AS/A levels and IBDP; as well as adapted and taught a middle school curriculum of English in grades 7 and 8; and I am a registered assessment specialist examiner with Cambridge University Press and Assessment for IGCSE First Language English (0500). I have also been the lead teacher-editor for yearbooks and school magazines along with being an IBDP CAS supervisor for student-led newsletters. Furthermore, I have served as a member of the CIS and NEASC accreditation team for the domain of Teaching and Learning and served as the Activities Coordinator in-charge of holistic extracurricular events for holistic student development.

In addition to my academic qualifications (M.A, B.Ed), I am also a CELTA-certified teacher for TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from Cambridge University; and I hold grade 8 certificates in both Communication Skills and Speech & Drama from Trinity College London and University of West London respectively. I have over 5 years of experience training students for graded oral exams conducted by both of the aforementioned institutions which help in supplementing students' future university prospects.

I strive to pass my love for learning onto my students, and try hard to impress upon them the importance of taking the onus of learning upon themselves. In today’s day and age, when the internet holds power enough to influence everyone’s thoughts and opinions, I believe it is an essential life skill for them to be able to think critically and express themselves in both the written and spoken word. My classroom is usually one where learning is promoted through discussion and participation, and challenges to counter what is being said are encouraged (within reason!) so as to ensure voices are heard.
