My daughter and I started going to school together - she started her education as a 3 year old in a Montessori school and so did I - as a teacher for the 3-6 age group. She was not in my classroom with me, and it was better for both of us! Today she is 20 years old, and a rising Junior at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and I am in my 18th year of teaching at a Montessori school. My name is Sridevi Srikanth, and for 15 plus years, I have had the privilege of teaching every age group - 3 to 6, 6 to 9 and 9 to 12. I have always taken on teaching subjects and classes that teaching partners did not want to take on. I have a wide range of experiences and skills that have allowed me to do this quite successfully. I am always open to learning and hope that I instill that love for learning in my students. Along with Montessori teacher certification, I have a Master’s in Business Economics, and started out my career as a business journalist for a leading national business daily in Chennai, India.  I love reading, writing, solving puzzles, and gardening. My favorite part about teaching is building a relationship with my students (and parents) and I feel most accomplished when students who have long moved on from the elementary grades come back to me for help and guidance. Making a difference in students’ lives is very important to me. I will be working hard to make those long term connections with my students and families at BHA! I am very excited to join the team and meet more of you!
