Cape Town Teacher Profiles

Nasreen Narkedien

EC has an exciting and vibrant work environment filled with dynamic individuals. It is highly motivating to be surrounded by positive colleagues who are always willing to lend a hand, each one having unique talents to contribute.

I constantly feel challenged in this environment as no two students are the same. There's always something to either build on or do better, which is why I look forward to attending any workshops.

EC is a modern school that's always after fresh ideas for both students and teachers. The school has introduced many activities to make the students' stay here as rewarding as possible- students can participate in after school activities which benefit their studies in the end. This holistic approach far exceeds the 'run of the mill' classroom routine that has been so common in the past. Students happily provide positive feedback whether they are asked to do so or not. These are ideas that work!
As a teacher I'm happy to come across new websites or books to make lessons interesting or turn a dull lesson into something exciting.

Through EC, I've learnt many new things in relatively short spaces of time, which I find incredibly exhilarating.
If I could sum up my experience in one sentence: NEVER A DULL MOMENT!
