John/ Chatterjee joined the Department of English & Languages with nearly three decades of teaching experience, having taught at multiple levels ranging from Montessori to High School and from Intermediate to Masters and beyond. Prior to joining St Mary’s College, she was an Assistant Professor of English at GITAM University for nearly a decade. In addition to teaching, she has also held administrative roles including Head of the Department of English, Principal of a School and as Montessori Directress in both India and in Singapore. A polyglot, she is also interested in psychology and counselling. She has attended several conferences, and presented and published papers in fields related to English Language Teaching, English Literature, Gender and Marginalisation.
Teaching and learning has been a passion for me since the last three decades. I have aspired to be a good human being because I firmly believe that a teacher needs to have the highest standards to be able to lead by example. Enriched by my handling of students of all ages, I have constantly striven to upgrade myself and am still doing so in tune with the changing times. Student centric classrooms bring out the best in me when firmness and kindness go hand in hand.
I feel myself richly blessed in my family ,friends, colleagues and students and hope that I would be a blessing in turn to them.
