When she retired, I proudly took over the reins, determined to preserve her legacy and continue her mission of empowering students. The name "English Arrows" embodies our commitment to precision and excellence in education.
My inspiration to expand this venture online stems from my son, who is autistic. His journey has taught me resilience, creativity, and the importance of personalized learning. Through English Arrows, I aim to create an inclusive and supportive environment where every student can thrive, just as he inspires me to do every day.
