Ms Farhana's Teacher Spotlight
What inspires you to teach?
I deeply treasure the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in a child’s life beyond academics. Teaching allows me to encourage, guide and build confidence in students during some of their most formative years. I find it deeply fulfilling to see students grow not only in skill, but also in self-belief, resilience and curiosity.
Why do you love teaching English?
English is a complex and nuanced subject and I enjoy making it accessible, engaging and enjoyable for students. One of the most rewarding parts of teaching is seeing students grow in confidence; when they no longer shy away from a topic or question, but learn to approach it with courage and clarity. I love helping students realise that they are capable of expressing themselves thoughtfully and creatively.
What do you do in your free time?
In my free time, I enjoy going on walks and spending time in nature, which helps me recharge and slow down. I also love spending quality time with my loved ones and my cat. Creatively, I enjoy painting and journaling, both of which allow me to reflect, express myself and unwind.
