Priya Karki, from Bhaktapur, is a passionate and dedicated teacher who carries the experience of teaching at Gyansudha Pathsala under her belt. With one year of experience in her role, she taught English to primary-level students, prepared lesson plans, and assessed students' progress while providing constructive feedback. Priya’s commitment to education is further strengthened by her additional training in Montessori methods at the Modern Montessori Training Center, where she learned to support children’s development and encourage independence in learning. She focuses on improving students’ reading, writing, and speaking skills through engaging activities like games and stories, making learning both effective and enjoyable.
Priya’s motivation to teach stems from her personal background and experiences. Growing up in a small family with her father as the sole breadwinner, she was inspired by his dedication and hard work. She overcame her shyness through a school speech competition, which boosted her confidence and reinforced her belief in the power of perseverance. Priya also helped her siblings with their studies while managing her own, which instilled in her a sense of discipline and responsibility. Her teaching inspiration comes from Sabita Ma’am, a teacher who used engaging methods and paid attention to every student, motivating Priya to adopt a similar approach in her own teaching.
Priya is particularly passionate about teaching in rural public schools as a Saathi teacher, where she hopes to make a difference in the lives of students who lack access to resources. She believes that teaching in these areas will help her develop key skills like adaptability, patience, and creative problem-solving. Priya aims to apply her education and training in real classroom settings, learning to manage diverse classrooms and address teaching challenges effectively. Her teaching philosophy is deeply influenced by Sabita Ma’am’s qualities of patience, creativity, and attentiveness, which she strives to embody in her own practice.
Priya’s aspirations go beyond academic teaching; she desires to instill life skills like critical thinking, teamwork, and self-belief in her students. She aims to make learning enjoyable through simple and fun methods, ensuring that students are not only educated but also inspired to reach their full potential.
