Thelma Shalini

Subject Matter Expert in Primary Mathematics, designing globally relevant curriculum that nurtures competencies and essential skills in young learners. I create content that challenges the belief that Mathematics is difficult — by making it meaningful, engaging, and enjoyable to learn.

My work focuses on building thinking routines, reasoning skills, and metacognitive awareness through well-structured, child-friendly materials. Each unit is designed to help learners understand not just what they are learning, but why they are learning it — encouraging reflection, curiosity, and confidence in the process.

Formerly a passionate educator with extensive classroom experience across primary grades, I have worked with international curricula including IGCSE, ICSE, and CBSE. I hold a B.Ed. in Mathematics and English and have completed the Cambridge Primary Combined (Math, English & Science) course, which broadened my perspective on diverse teaching methodologies.

My background in teaching continues to shape how I design curriculum — with a strong belief in inquiry-driven, inclusive, and engaging learning environments that help each learner think independently, grow confidently, and connect with the purpose of their learning.
