Life long learning....Hi everyone....

I am Emelda Queen Mary, working as an English teacher at Panchayat Union Middle School in Edayathankudi, Ariyalur District. My approach towards children, focuses on holistic development. I am passionate about teaching and I love working with rural area students. One of the biggest challenges is to get them to speak in English. Every day, I introduce simple sentences and words. Whenever I talk with them, I communicate only in English. Hearing their English makes me feel very happy and proud, much like a mother hearing the first sounds of her newborn baby.

I have overcome many difficulties and challenges, including my students' hesitation, shyness, and lack of confidence. Slowly, they have become more comfortable with the English language. They now understand that it is not just knowledge, but a means of communication. I feel proud to be an English teacher and am thankful to God for helping my students learn the language.
