Delhi born, US trained, I lost my mom but gained a new view – heritage matters, even in math class. My son Kai sparked it all. Was a high school math teacher, but saw kids struggling, confidence missing. So, I switched gears. Now, it’s all about blending real learning, emotional care, and a bit of family magic. We want kids to thrive, wherever they land. ### My work - **Consultancy, Workshops & Training**: We work with schools, parents, and educators. Sessions dig deep into hands-on math workshops, Science of Reading, and social-emotional learning. - **Kids & Family Learning Programs**: Our Math from Scratch and Learn to Read, Read to Learn programs build real confidence, not just rote skills. Group or solo, always joyful. - **Learning Tools & Games**: We create stuff like Yonjuu math cards and play-based learning kits. Kids get to touch, play, and really understand what they’re learning. ## Book To book Hattennoki, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'd%20like%20to%20book%20Hattennoki.)
