About

Hello! I’m Swati, an educator and learner with over nine years of experience in English language teaching across Japan and India. I’m deeply passionate about literature, writing, and the power of language to shape identity, resilience, and human connection. My interests also extend into narrative therapy, which I am currently pursuing at an advanced level, further enriching my belief in the healing and transformative potential of stories. I approach education as a spiritual and ethical practice; one that nurtures the whole person.
