About Indu
Indu is an education trainer who delivers professional development on pedagogy to raise achievement. As an EAL (English as an Additional Language) specialist, she is passionate about inclusive education and trains teachers on how to support - EAL students in the mainstream and how to differentiate instruction effectively and easily. As a trained EQ Coach and SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) specialist, she also leads programmes to support the development of SEL in schools and provides coaching for individuals and teams.
Indu began her career as a teacher of English in London. As an EAL and 3rd Culture Kid herself, she knew the importance of harnessing language to succeed in education which meant she instantly identified with the challenges many of her students faced as they grappled with language acquisition. For many years, she focussed on empowering learners through the English classroom, and in time she realised she could share this knowledge with her colleagues across the curriculum so they too could become confident in their ability to support language learning and differentiate instruction to support students to learn more effectively.
Indu is a qualified and experienced tutor of Teaching EAL Students in the Mainstream Classroom and How Language Works and has delivered these courses repeatedly to teachers in the schools and groups she has worked with. She has also created her own training programmes in which she seeks to demystify language learning in the mainstream. She was recently interviewed by an attendee of one of her EAL courses, which you can listen to here to gain insight into her work in this area.
Throughout her career, her passion has been to develop the people she works with. In her training and consultancy work she has sought to share her knowledge with others to empower them to succeed as teachers and leaders. Indu is driven by her desire to learn, inspire and empower others to become better versions of themselves as teachers and leaders.
Indu is passionate about learning; for students and staff alike. In her training and coaching, she seeks to empower teachers and school leaders by sharing the knowledge she has acquired (what research has proven works) and facilitating individuals and teams to identify what will be effective in their own contexts.
