Deepa’s teaching career has been geared toward the empowerment of primary school children in mainstream setting both in UK and Singapore. She’s had wonderful opportunities to teach diverse age-groups of children, including those with learning difficulties, noncompliant behaviour and, gifted and talented. These experiences have helped her to blossom into a well-rounded and compassionate individual, who takes each student’s unique goal, needs, and interests into account, and creates effective lesson plans and activities to accommodate them.
Deepa’s credentials include a Bachelors of Arts (Honours) degree in ‘Special Educational Needs’ from University of East London (UK), a Qualified Teacher’s Status (QTS) from UK, Diploma in Arts (3 years) and over 7 years of experience of working with children.
Currently, she’s supporting children with specific learning differences at Dynamics as well as teaching mainstream children at Tanglin Trust School and International School of Singapore.
Deepa’s greatest capability in a classroom is facilitating all styles of learners. She develops multi-sensory lesson plans to meet the needs of auditory, visual, tactile, and kinaesthetic learners. She recognises the importance of technology, manipulatives and group work, to teach new concepts and materials. Furthermore, she makes certain that each child receives individualised praise and encouragement, ensuring that he/she remains motivated and does not become frustrated or quit. |
