I have 3 years' experience teaching English, History, Sociology, Social Anthropology, Psychology, and Politics to students in the UK and in India. I have taught school students across various London schools. In mainstream public and private schools, I have taught students between early years-KS4. I have also taught at an alternative school for students with special educational needs (SEN). In India, I have taught school students between the ages of 10-17 at a leading private school in Kolkata. I have also volunteered as a teacher to students from impoverished communities at an NGO in Delhi, for which I received the best volunteer award from my undergraduate college.
