Overview

A dynamic and result oriented teacher committed to teaching a passion for learning English as a Second Language or as a Foreign Language. I have taught to hundreds of students from across south India whose respective regional languages being spoken as their first language and with a diverse cultural inheritance. This has helped me understand the unspoken essentials of the language learners and help them acquire English as their second language with ease and confidence. Apart from connecting with students on a one to one basis, I am experienced in designing and delivering Train the Trainer program for a group of teachers empowering them with the structured approach to teaching English as a Second language to young learners. Also, I am a course architect with a clear insight in developing and implementing a creative, hands-on curriculum that reaches every student's learning style and ability, enabling students to succeed and realize their individual goals. Also, I have to my credit, an International Advanced Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) with specialization in teaching business English from the American TESOL Institute. Areas of Expertise. Cognitive Psychology | Technical Writing | Talent Identification and Mentoring.

With over 16 years of experience in the field of English language training, I specialize in IELTS, PTE, and communication skills. My journey started while working with corporation schools in Tamil Nadu, where I was exposed to students from diverse linguistic backgrounds. That early exposure helped me understand the importance of communication and how language can be a bridge to opportunity.

I hold a B.Sc. degree and am a TESOL-certified trainer. I am also certified by Pearson Academy, which has further equipped me to train students specifically for global English assessments. Over the years, I have worked as a consultant trainer with several reputed academies, customizing sessions based on each learner’s needs and learning style.

My classes are conducted online in small groups of 5 to 6 learners to ensure individual attention and active participation. Sessions are interactive, cognitive in approach, and tailored to suit beginner as well as advanced learners. I focus not just on scoring high in exams but on building strong communication fundamentals that serve lifelong.

All sessions are conducted live, allowing students to engage, practice, and clarify their doubts in real time. I use my own curated materials, developed through years of experience and feedback from hundreds of learners. This ensures the content is relevant, up-to-date, and focused on real exam and real-world scenarios.

Whether you're preparing for IELTS or PTE, or simply want to improve your fluency and communication, I bring a practical, result-oriented approach that makes language learning effective and enjoyable.
