About Nayana
I am an English Facilitator who enjoys making learning interactive, meaningful and engaging for young learners. I love creating spaces where learners can be curious, express their ideas and grow in confidence.
With a background in English and experience across different learning environments, my teaching journey has included working with adults and corporate learners as well as teaching in a primary IB school. At 21K School, I facilitate English for Grade 4 learners, creating learning experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity and confident expression. I enjoy bringing stories, conversations and real-world connections into the classroom, giving learners opportunities to question, explore and share their ideas. For me, teaching is about creating a space where every learner feels heard, valued and excited to discover something new.
I teach because I believe every learner has a voice worth hearing. What inspires me most is seeing learners move from hesitation to confidence-asking questions, sharing ideas and discovering that they are capable of more than they imagined. For me, teaching is about creating moments of curiosity, connection and growth.

Nayana’s Philosophy
Learning flourishes when learners feel curious, heard and confident enough to explore. My classroom is a space where questions are welcomed, ideas are valued and mistakes are seen as part of the learning journey. Through language, stories and meaningful conversations, I hope to help learners find their voice, think deeply and develop a lasting love for learning.
