Harjit Chauhan

Harjit Chauhan’s teaching career began over eighteen years ago. She discovered that teaching English was her passion when she moved overseas to South Korea to teach. Upon her return, she often spoke her first language—Punjabi—to work closely with families. This led her to pursue a TESL certificate and eventually make the leap to an English Language Learner specialist. Harjit currently works in the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows School District in British Columbia (District #42).
