Shervin Rahai

Elementary and Middle School Teacher

With over a decade of dedicated service in Catholic education, I bring a strong blend of academic expertise and classroom experience to my role as an educator. I hold a Bachelor's in English Language and Translation and a Master's in English and Hungarian Literature, which have equipped me with a solid foundation in language arts and cross-cultural understanding. My journey includes eight years of first-grade instruction, where I developed a deep appreciation for early childhood development, and three years at Edlin School, working with gifted learners and honing my skills in differentiated instruction.
Currently, I serve as a resource teacher supporting K–8 students with ADHD and autism, a role that has deepened my commitment to inclusive practices and broadened my strategies for meeting diverse learning needs. I believe education is not just about academic success but also about fostering connection, celebrating individual growth, and creating spaces where all students can thrive.
