About

I am Deepa Sookara-Ramchurn, a versatile freelance writer, proofreader and researcher with over 17 years of experience crafting educational content, academic papers, business English materials, and digital copy. I hold a Masters in English Linguistics from Birmingham City University and I am near-complete on a PhD in Early Childhood Education. I have two peer-reviewed journal publications and forthcoming book chapters. I excel at translating complex ideas into accessible writing for academic, educational and professional audiences, and I am a native English speaker who is fluent in French.

In addition to writing, I design curricula, course manuals and educational resources and have substantial experience creating English-language content for Cambridge IGCSE, O & A Level, and IB programmes. I contribute as an online tutor and content creator across platforms such as Skooli, CafeTalk and AmazingTalker, and I develop structured lesson plans, handouts and instructional materials for undergraduate and teacher-training contexts. I am committed to clear, engaging communication and rigorous quality in every project.
