Spotlight Aga Khan Academy, Hyderabad: Lisa Gervais – A journey of lifelong learning

As one of two Canadian Development Exchange (CADEX) workers at the Academy in Hyderabad, I wear two hats: one is as an English Support Teacher at the Junior School and the other is with Outreach programme.

From Ontario, Canada, I continued on the journey of lifelong learning when I embarked upon a Certificate in Teaching English as a Second Language (CERTESL) degree in 2010. While working full-time as a journalist, I put myself through part-time, distance education at the University of Saskatchewan, from where I graduated as an honours students in 2013. I had the great privilege of working at the Welcome Centre, in Ajax, Ontario helping adult immigrant newcomers to better settle in their adopted homeland of Canada.
