About Us

Common Room is an online platform that offers fun and engaging creative writing courses and resources for children of ages 7 to 15.

Traditionally, a common room is a shared lounge, often attached to dorm rooms in boarding schools, where students socialise, have late night study sessions, host house parties and engage in other after school activities. Drawing inspiration from this much loved space, Common Room is an initiative to create a shared virtual learning space for young learners, to engage in magical learning experiences.

Meet the Trainer

Hello there! I am Anjaly. I am a Cambridge-certified trainer of English and the founder of Common Room. This passion project of mine was born out of my desire to create whimsical online creative writing courses and materials that help children fall in love with writing.

Through my specially curated set of courses here at Common Room, and as part of my career at The Hindu and British Council, I have trained over a thousand students from different parts of the world.

Right now, I work full time at Common Room, while pursuing the Cambridge DELTA course from International House, London.
