Moderator-

Rakhee Chhabria, Founder - TeachersHelpTeachers.

Rakhee started her journey as a creative and enthusiastic Educational Professional having over 18 years of experience as a Pre- primary and Special Education Teacher.

Rakhee soon realised that the teaching methodology in many preschools was something that was a cause of concern. This made her start her own content development company Sai Eduserve in 2009. Sai Eduserve developed content for various preschools and trained educators in teaching methodology that was meant to make teaching an enjoyable experience.

Being an Educator Mother, and knowing the problems faced by teaching professionals, she began pursuing her passion of getting all educators together on one common platform called TeachersHelpTeachers (THT) to evolve Education and help Educators derive support from one another.

TeachersHelpTeachers started off as a small Facebook group in the year 2015 December with 200 Teachers with the idea of sharing resources, seeking suggestions and ideas from one another and thus enhancing the teaching process. Today TeachersHelpTeachers has close to 8000 members across India and has been recognised by the C.O.O of facebook Sheryl Sandberg for its effective community work in Education.

About TeachersHelpTeachers:

THT has been recognised by Sheryl Sandberg (C.O.O for Facebook) for being an involved community and inspiring Educators to change the way they perceive themselves.

In 2017 THT was invited to Singapore for Facebook group Summit headed by Sheryl Sandberg along with her entire team of Facebook, where THT was felicitated for effective community work.
