Mital is a visionary leader, innovator, learner and educator. She founded the
multi-award-winning Spark Academy back in 2009 whilst she was teaching as a
qualified teacher in schools. As a passionate educator with a strong social
conscience, Mital’s firm ethos is about making quality education affordable; so
that it provides pathways for social mobility and brighter opportunities in your
child’s future. Mital’s own academic journey came with a fair few challenges,
which meant that she went through many struggles and coping mechanisms to keep
up to speed with her learning. Diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of 21, Mital
came to understand why she processed information differently. This is why she is
an advocate of non-conformist learning techniques that will help any child
realise their infinite potential. Mital shares her methodology to learning in
her book “Study Like This, Not Like That”, which she has refined over fifteen
years, and which earned her the MBA student of the Year in 2021 – an award out
of 20,000 students worldwide. Mital not only has a unique teacher’s perspective
but that of a learner too! Mital is actively looking at ways to improve the
learning experience for Spark’s students and she is a big believer in research
and development of the programme to suit not only children’s current needs but
also to reduce the future skills gap – ensuring that all children under Spark’s
care are future-ready with the skills and strategies to lead brighter and joyous
lives.
