Suchetha has over eighteen years of experience teaching diverse groups in international schools, MOE schools, and at the British Council in Singapore. She believes in fostering a classroom where happy learners support each other and take ownership of their learning. This is accomplished by granting autonomy in learning methods, providing regular feedback, collaborating on goals, and reflecting on the learning process to nurture a growth mindset.

Within Singapore’s dynamic educational landscape, Suchetha has taught Cambridge IGCSE, GCE O-level, and A-level curricula. She also held leadership positions as Level Head and Examination Committee Head at international schools, gaining valuable insights into curriculum development and assessment strategies. At the British Council, her roles as Level Head for Upper Primary and Acting Deputy Academic Manager allowed her to design curricula, notably contributing to the design of Secondary Extended Reading and MOE PSLE Speaking and Reading resources.

Suchetha’s commitment to professional growth is evident through her Master’s degrees in English Language and Literature, as well as Education, complemented by teaching certifications such as the Cambridge ESOL Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (CELTA), Young Learner Extension to CELTA and the Trinity College of London’s Diploma in TESOL. Her roles as a Cambridge CELTA tutor and trainer-in-training for the Trinity College London’s Teaching Young Learners Extension Certificate (TYLEC) program highlight her dedication to personal development and supporting the broader teaching community. In her free time, Suchetha conducts webinars on English Language Teaching (ELT) for teacher trainees, sharing her expertise and knowledge within the educational community.
