Course Tutors
Shehla Ghori is a qualified Montessori educator with a BSc (Hons) in Computing in Business. Despite the unique combination of qualifications, she switched careers after having children and discovered the beauty and power of the Montessori pedagogy. The global impact of Covid-19 brought about many challenges in the education sector, including the closure of nurseries depriving young children of contact and learning. Being tasked with finding innovative methods to keep preschool learning continuous, Shehla recognised the need to connect with children who couldn’t attend nursery physically.
She provided technical support, planning and guidance to educators enabling success. Parents were grateful for the resources, support, and recorded classes. The children well-received the online teaching method, with some even starting to blend their phonics exclusively through online learning. Impressed by the outstanding results, their parents requested private sessions, which were beyond the scope of Shehla’s tasks at the time.
Shehla founded the EdTech start-up Edulinxs Club in the Autumn of 2020 and researched best practices meticulously. She now offers Edulinxs Club classes worldwide. Her on-demand programs are Montessori-inspired and UK EYFS Foundation-aligned to children regardless of location. Thus the goal is “Where learning reaches every child.”
Tasha Bretten has been working as a Boogie Mites teacher and trainer for 2 years following 13 years as a Primary School Teacher working across all year groups, with a passion for supporting children’s literacy and musical development. Tasha is a trained opera singer but having said this she is first to say: “ You don’t have to be a trained singer to lead Boogie Mites. You can do it!”
