Welcome, families of Dubai British School Jumeira!
My name is Manika Tanna and I am so excited to be part of the founding team at DBSJ! I am very much looking forward to meeting you all and working together to create a vibrant and supportive school community.
I have just moved to Dubai from Hong Kong where I have spent all my life! Having just got married over the summer, I am excited to live in this amazing city and to bring my experience in International education to Dubai. I have been a teacher for 6 years, after completing my education at the University of Exeter and have taught across Early Years and Key Stage 2. I was previously the Wellbeing Coordinator and place great importance on your Child’s heath and wellbeing.
I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where children can feel inspired and challenged to reach their true potential. Encouraging students to become independent and respectful of each other and of the environment while making learning fun! My classroom is a place where children can feel valued, successful and capable of anything and everything.
In my spare time I love to travel, lift weights and cook. I am a massive foodie and am always thinking of my next meal! My favourite book is the magical world of Harry Potter and I will forever dream to be walking along the hallways of Hogwarts.
