I graduated from the University of Madras, Chennai, India with a Master's degree in English Literature and two Bachelor's degrees in English Literature and Education. I taught English at the primary level in Chennai for a period of three years. My next teaching assignment was at The Citadel, a school in my hometown in the south-western state of Kerala. I went back to Chennai for a year as an Administrator in the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) project, IDP Education Australia. Arriving in Singapore in early 2005, I joined the CNM Programme as a tutorial assistant in August and then began my Masters here in 2006.
