Purpose and Passion Across Continents….

Hello and welcome! I’m Priyanka Jhanji—born and raised in a small, agriculture-rich town in Punjab, India. Today, I call Saskatoon my home, where I live with my husband and our two amazing kids.

Growing up in a conservative environment came with its share of societal challenges, but I was fortunate to have a father who believed in my dreams. His unwavering support helped me rise above gender biases and pursue academic excellence. From a young age, I’ve loved helping others learn.

Teaching and service have always been the twin pillars of my life. My early volunteer work in local schools sparked a fire that never dimmed. It was in those classrooms, surrounded by curious minds and untapped potential, that I realized education wasn’t just a profession—it was my calling. I excelled academically, earning Bachelor of Arts, Master of Science in Mathematics, and Bachelor of Education.

I work as a sub-teacher. However, I had taught Mathematics in public schools (Internationally) for 19 years, often navigating the undercurrents of discrimination. Yet, the classroom remained my sanctuary. I witnessed firsthand how inclusive education could transform the lives of underprivileged and special-needs children. Collaboration wasn’t just a strategy—it was a lifeline. My teaching style, affectionately dubbed “The Math-ish Way,” blended creativity, empathy, and rigor to help students not just learn math, but love it. For me “An Attempt is more important than a precise solution

Guiding young children to learn and achieve their goals brings me immense joy—I believe education is not just about what U know, but about who R becoming. I am continually inspired by children’s curiosity and progress as I explore innovative ways to support their growth and well-being

  1. Hello, Priyanka. You described yourself and your passion for teaching so well. You remind me of the kind of teachers who show up not just for the salary, but for the growth and well-being of their students. It’s true what they say—this profession isn’t for the faint of heart. The courage to show up each day, no matter how exhausting it can be, brings a deep sense of fulfillment. In many ways, your perspective mirrors my own view of teaching, and I truly appreciate you sharing your story. I’m looking forward to reading more of your blog posts!
