While completing her degree at the University of Kent, Manju worked as a substitute teacher in schools across Kent and London — and many of her students were NRI and international children facing the very same adjustments she was navigating as a student herself. The cultural tightrope, the longing for familiarity, the quiet work of belonging somewhere new — she knew it from both sides of the classroom. That’s the understanding she brings to every young person she works with.
For children with special needs, her certification in Special Needs Education ensures every session is thoughtfully adapted. Pacing, communication style, and activities are shaped around each child’s strengths and individual requirements. Every young person deserves support that truly meets them where they are.
