Claudine Bhatti

Somerville

Claudine Bhatti lives in Somerville, a lovely city in Massachusetts bordering Cambridge to the North. Claudine grew up in Northeast Massachusetts, attending Jamaica Plain High School and later graduating from Northeastern University.

Claudine Bhatti considers herself a self-made educator, having always been involved with her children’s schooling as well as the education of children within her community. Claudine loved taking her children to the zoo and the science museum. When her kids were in elementary school, Claudine purchased yearly memberships to the Zoos of New England and the Museum of Science, which they were sure to visit a few times every month. When her children were in the fifth grade, Claudine believed they needed a greater challenge when it came to their vocabulary words. Her children’s teachers asked Claudine to come up with vocabulary lists for her kids as well as a few other advanced students, which she continued successfully throughout the whole school year. Claudine Bhatti also volunteered to work with a group of Haitian students, tutoring them in spelling, reading, and vocabulary. Claudine’s great efforts and enthusiasm, played a major role in the success of these students as well as the success of her own children as they went on to graduate college.
