Anupama joined DAS in November 2019 and has been supporting learners in the areas of literacy and mathematics. Students who learn ‘differently’ inspired Anupama to move away from mainstream teaching to work with children with special needs. She brings with her a wealth of experience as an International school teacher with over 15 years of experience in the education space. Anupama facilitates learning with a holistic approach and firmly believes in the overall development of the child and helps them with their academic needs in a hands-on approach helping them learn - ‘How to learn’. She uses methods by which they learn best and adapts the learning tasks to the child’s ability and strengths.

As an Educational Therapist and Specialist teacher, she can effectively engage children in learning in a way that is interesting and motivating for them and helps them develop social skills by teaching children essential life skills and helping them grow in their self-esteem and confidence. Over the past 8 years, Anupama has worked with children with literacy, cognitive difficulties, learning behaviour & challenges. Anupama provides individual academic support, creating lessons that target a variety of skills for children with special needs. She brings mindfulness practices into her lessons to help the learners cope with stress and anxiety.
