Summary
Hi! Im Dharshana. I am a 25 year old physiotherapist who is entering her journey into the world of teaching english. I am a physiotherapist, who has been practicing for 3 years. I am a kind and compassionate person who enjoys interacting with many different kinds of people, from different walks of life.

My passion for pediatric physiotherapy and teaching children how to walk again has taught me many skills which may be useful in the classroom , whether online or in-person. I am interested in teaching A0/A1 English (Beginner/Elementary).
