Bio:

Anushri is the founder of Haiku & Hymns classes for children in Ahmedabad, India, where she teaches a variety of subjects, including creative writing, literature, language, psychology, history, and foreign languages. Passionate about self-expression and social justice, the aim of her courses is to promote global citizenship and empathy in her students. She is an external instructor for Cambridge International Assessments.

Fascinated by words in general, Anushri has perused over eight languages, and is fluent in five of them. Her knowledge of languages imbibes a certain richness in her writing, which dabbles in Latin, Italian, and a bit of French as well here and there. 

Anushri has a degree in Psychology and a background in curriculum design. She has worked in international schools to help design English courses for various age groups, mentored teenagers under the Lions Club Skills for Adolescence program, and used her training in psychoanalysis and Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) to work as a therapist for a brief time.

Based in the business hub of Ahmedabad, Anushri hopes to contribute to the growing cultural movement in the city, which will enable children from all backgrounds to have more opportunities to pursue a liberal arts education, like that of her own.
