My name is Tennaaz Baria.  I am originally from Mumbai, India.  I have been teaching at El Dorado for the last 15 years.

Prior to becoming a teacher in 1983, I worked in several different fields. I resigned from my job in the Pan American Airways to become a stay-at-home mom and raise my child.  However, when my son was ready to go to school at the age of three, I was more than ready to do the same.  I had already completed my postgraduate degree in Education after obtaining another degree in Political Science and World History.  I decided to teach High School at the same Cambridge-based private school my son would attend. That turned out to be the best decision of my life!  I fell in love with a career that has become my life’s passion and mission. I taught High School in India for eight wonderful years.

I was working on my PhD in Education when I left Bombay for the United States and have a degree in paralegal studies after which I interned with the County Attorney.  To put it simply, I love learning and love sharing and imparting that love to my students.  I love every aspect of being involved with El Dorado's student and parent body.  I feel especially privileged to be able to work with our Student Council.
