Sara Palekar

My name is Sara Palekar, and I am delighted to be joining the ELL team this year. I bring with me 7 years of teaching experience, 3 years in my home country and 4 years in Dubai, including 3 years at Metropole. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Science from the University of Mumbai and a PGCEi from the University of Nottingham.

I have also worked as a Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) for 3 years, an experience that gave me valuable insights into supporting students’ learning and helped me grow as an educator.

Teaching is not just my profession; it is my passion. I love nurturing young minds and helping children develop confidence, language skills, and a lifelong love of learning. Over the years, I have enjoyed working with students from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, and I strongly believe that every child can achieve success when given the right support and encouragement. My teaching approach is centered on creating an inclusive, engaging, and supportive environment where students feel valued and inspired to reach their potential.

Outside of school, I enjoy reading and cooking, which allow me to relax and explore my creativity. I am excited to continue my journey at Metropole and look forward to working closely with both students and families to make learning a positive and enriching experience.
