The Blooming Educator

---

Hi, I’m a teacher-turned-writer currently based in Baku, Azerbaijan. I’ve spent the last 10+ years teaching the IB PYP and Cambridge Primary curricula across continents, but my real specialty? Helping kids feel seen, safe, and wildly curious—even in classrooms where the schedule is tighter than a suitcase before summer break.

Here, I write for two kinds of grown-ups:

👉 Teachers, who are tired of the buzzwords and just want heart-centered, practical ways to reach their students without burning out.

👉 Parents, who are trying to raise grounded, emotionally intelligent kids without turning into full-time chauffeurs, Google scholars, or amateur educational philosophers.

My work is rooted in faith, reflection, and a firm belief that learning should feel like belonging. You’ll find a mix of honest storytelling, no-fluff guides, and educator humor—the kind that sneaks up on you like a third grader with a deep question about the universe.

Expect:

Jargon-free insights on learning, identity, and emotional resilience.

Real talk about what kids are actually learning behind the worksheets.

IB PYP and Cambridge-inspired tools for home and school.

Gentle, doable strategies for screen-free learning and SEL.

Essays on curiosity, burnout, spiritual growth, and leading with presence plus metaphors.

Whether you're leading a classroom, navigating a bedtime meltdown, or still Googling what “inquiry-based learning” means, you belong here.

Let’s raise whole humans.

Helping teachers and children bloom —wherever they are planted and making learning feel like belonging.
