Program Lead
Read Bio
I started working at Anjali in 2012 as a teacher and about 4 or 5 months later, I was promoted as a Lead Teacher. I am now the Program Lead in-charge of both planning and implementing.
My background in teaching English has helped me understand my role better. At Anjali House, I feel motivated to grow and at the same time I feel problem solving exciting. It challenges me and matches my natural inclination to strive for perfection. Anjali gives staff freedom to make their own decision and not feel pressured to conform.

I worked at Anjali as an English Teacher for nearly one year and half before I took on the role of the Social Worker.
As a teacher I understand the feelings, interests, issues and behavioral patters of the children. This helps me in reaching out to them and enables me to solve any problem they might be facing. I am lucky that Anjali House has given me the opportunity to work as a social worker because I feel very connected to the role and how it helps the community at large.

I am a university student at Build Bright University where I study English. I have been working at Anjali House since 2016 as ‘lower level’ to ‘beginner’ level teacher for students in between the ages of 8 and 12 years old. With time I am happy that Anjali has given me the opportunity to teach ‘higher level’ of English proficiency to children who are 12-16 years old. I am very excited to work in such a nurturing environment.

Teacher

My name is Chan Pi. I’m 22 years old. I am an English teacher at Anjali House. My students are between 5 to 10 years old.
I am studying at Vanda Institute and my major is Accounting. I chose this because when I was younger I wanted to work in a big company or a bank. I would also like to have my own business. I like doing housework, listening to music, and researching my work and studies during my free time.
In 5 years, I see myself graduating from university, having a job, and helping children by teaching them English during my free time.
I also want to find a good job for my sisters and help my family to have a good life.
