About the Founder

Meet the Founder

My name is Shirin Akter, and my journey with education began long before DreamEd Foundation was born.

Growing up in Bangladesh, I witnessed firsthand how the right book, the right tool, or the right mentor could completely transform a child's future. That experience never left me, it followed me across oceans.

I completed my Honours and Master's degree in English Language and Literature from Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Bangladesh. Driven by an unrelenting passion for education, I then came to Canada to pursue my MEd (Master's of Education) from the University of Saskatchewan. It was there, immersed in world-class learning environments, that my vision became crystal clear. I saw educational materials, game-based learning tools, and children's developmental products that were engaging, research-backed, and truly effective — resources that most children in Bangladesh had never even heard of.

After completing my degree, I felt a deep urge from my heart: I must establish DreamEd.

Why DreamEd?

DreamEd Foundation was born from that calling — to bridge the gap and introduce the right materials, services, and children's educational products, including game-based learning equipment, to Bangladesh in a way they have never been introduced before.

“Dream” because every learner deserves to dream big. “Ed” because education is the bridge that makes those dreams possible.

We are more than a store — we are a movement for a more educated, empowered Bangladesh.

My IELTS & English Teaching Journey

With 16 years of teaching experience, I have built deep expertise in English language education. I have helped hundreds of students achieve their IELTS target scores and unlock life-changing opportunities. My passion led me to author three books designed specifically for Bangladeshi learners:

  • সবার জন্য Basic English
  • সবার জন্য IELTS Speaking
  • সবার জন্য IELTS Writing Task 2

I also provide English Teaching Training Services to institutions, equipping them with professional training, curated materials, and structured curriculum, empowering educators to deliver better outcomes for their students.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
