Sujatha Krishnan

With 20+ years of experience, I am a passionate teacher skilled in creating comprehensive curricula that meet education standards and encourage curiosity. I excel in observational abilities, curriculum design, interdisciplinary thinking, pastoral care, and lesson presentations.

I stay current by regular reading on educational philosophies, and my experience has helped me develop and adapt innovative approach to deliver lessons for diverse learners with updated teaching strategies. This facilitated me to launch new Montessori/Kindergarten environments in Singapore's NPS International School.

I have had the opportunity to redesign Early Years curriculum which promote love for learning, independence, while meeting academic goals.

This program saw great success and surpassed learning objectives, with students accomplishing milestones four to six months ahead of their chronological age. I have been credentialed for maintaining professional Parent-Teacher relationship and strong public speaking skills. I have had the opportunity to successfully conduct Parent Orientations and foster a culture of confidence in every child under my guidance.
