Sangeetha Thallapaly
Head of Year 3
I am Sangeetha Thallapally and I have a Masters in English Literature and a Post Graduate Diploma in Teaching English as a Second Language (PGDTESL) from Central Institute of English and foreign languages (CIEFL or EFL), a distinction holder in CITTC/ CIE the teacher training course from Cambridge University. I have been a part of CIS since April 2010 and with GEMS since September 2008. My journey with CIS has been amazing whereby I have evolved from a teacher to a leader. It is my sixth year as a Head of Year 3. CIS has given me range of prospects recognising my caliber and I am extremely proud to work for such a fantastic school and organisation. Singing has been my passion since childhood and it has complemented my teaching career where I tried to bring in music into my classroom making it lively and enjoyable for the young learners.
