School of Performing Arts and Communication

My Approach

I am a multi-disciplinary artist. I studied Bharatanatyam up to grade 8 (diploma) and LAMDA solo acting gold (grade 8). I am also a published writer. I drew on decades of education and artistic practice to create my Storytellers syllabus. My syllabus aims to teach students advanced communication skills, including critical thinking, research, analyzing sources and identifying misinformation, stress and performance anxiety management, study skills, and writing (creative and academic).

In this new era of technological advancement, the internet is riddled with misinformation. The alarming rise in the use of AI is forewarning us of a future in which the general population turns over their thinking to technology owned by stakeholders who do not have the general population's best interests in mind. I am dedicated to fighting this alarming trend. I aim to equip my students with the skills to navigate the current and future academic and sociopolitical environments.

Speech and Drama

I have been preparing students to undertake the LAMDA exams since 2017, working with over 50 children. I coached students for examinations in public speaking, performing verse and prose and acting. My students also competed at performing arts festivals in the UK, often winning awards.

In Canada, I have incorporated elements of the LAMDA framework to teach students key skills in performance and communication.

The Art Forms I Draw on

Writing

Throughout my career, I have explored a diverse array of writing styles. As a published writer in the Tamil Guardian, I bring years of professional writing experience to my teaching, enriching my students' understanding of literature and writing. When selecting literature, I prioritize works by BIPOC writers, as I believe diverse perspectives enrich our studies. I encourage my students to pursue topics that genuinely interest them, supporting their curiosity and engagement.

Bharatanatyam

In 2023, I began teaching my own students, building on years of experience instructing and choreographing for others. Recognizing the profound responsibility that comes with teaching, I took time to ensure I was truly ready to guide my own students. My goal is to empower students to embrace movement throughout their lives with confidence and joy. Body positivity and disability justice is at the core of my dance practice.

What Past Students are Saying

Niroshehaa was my Lamda teacher. She helped me achieve multiple distinction grades in Public Speaking, Acting and verse and prose up to grade 8. The lessons helped improve my confidence in all aspects of life and now thanks to her lessons, I became a LAMDA teacher and a junior examiner.

I had the privilege of attending Verse and Prose lessons with Niroshehaa teacher, who is an outstanding teacher. She has been a great inspiration to me, and her support has led me to pursue a career in teaching. With her guidance, my confidence and public speaking skills have significantly improved, which has been invaluable to me both academically and professionally. I feel incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from her
