She was employed as a Trained Graduate teacher (TGT) English in June 2009 She was entitled to teach English and Social Studies to Middle classes or Grades i.e, 6th, 7th and 8th Grades.

She always readily accepted additional duties and performed them accurately. Vandana was the favourite teacher of many students mainly due to her calm and friendly nature, something that most students look for in a teacher. I always received good feedback from all the parents of the students about Vandana. They would appreciate her ability to communicate with the students and parents as well.
