presenting... LearnEd

On the day of Lady Shakti (woman power), I'd like to present to you all my new education company "LearnEd," India & USA. LearnEd represents all my education related activities in India and beyond. 

Areas of Work

With what I have learned from my research, observations, and teaching experience during my time in India, I will be slowly commencing work in the following areas as a start in the Indian market while looking for collaborative activities between educators in the US and India.
  • teaching English to college students and young professionals
  • teaching professional development and motivation programs for college students and young professionals
  • teacher training and development for college level instructors at colleges, institutes and unis
  • in-service professional teacher development services for colleges, institutes and unis

Guiding Principles/Philosophy 
(a quick list for more context, esp. for those not in my field)
  • teach by introducing new international trends and information in the area taught
  • teach with examples and creative exercises to create a unique learning experience for students
  • train to motivate and equip teachers with different/creative ways to present information to students
  • foster creative and critical thinking in youth through well thought out, well sequenced, and reflective learning activities
  • train to raise a new consciousness in higher-ed instructors about how learning happens and how it can be nurtured to see maximum results in students' progress
LearnEd was chosen with input from Shash, my dear husband, and some close friends. It seems to encompass all my education related activities now and in the future -


  • learn·ed Adjective   /ˈlərnid/ listen
    Synonyms:
    • (of a person) Having much knowledge acquired by study
    • Showing, requiring, or characterized by learning; scholarly
      • an article in a learned journal

Learn+Ed=the education of learning or learning consciously about learning 
A "learned" person is one who has acquired wisdom from conscious and experiential learning

Thanks for all your good wishes, blessings, and support. I'm now working on the company logo, website, and other related projects. More updates soon. The real work begins now!
