Tutor Comment

English Tutor/IELTS/PTE/TOEFL/SAT

Life Course - Pune, Maharashtra - January 2010 to Present

I started my teaching career a decade ago when I had a dialogue with a friend about a gratifying career. This

led me on to teaching English; the act of helping people to achieve a career of their choice was very rewarding

and uplifting.



I started about a decade ago with Spoken English and IELTS classes, and today, I teach about ten different courses,mostly competitive, required for overseas study or immigration. We teach school students as well as coach adults for competitive exams.



I scored 8.5 overall on the IELTS test.



Our teaching style is custom designed to each student to encourage and foster language skills required to do

well in any International English competitive exam. One on one classes with personal consideration are given

with adequate grammar support. We offer convenient times and weekend batches.

We encourage students to test their endurance and explore new and interactive ways of learning. New methods

are introduced to realize desired scores. I am well versed with western accents as have studied, lived and

worked in the United States for 12 years. I could even distinguish between a Texas accent and an Oregonian

accent.



I simply enjoy teaching English with an international flavor as it is rightly the language of the world. New topics

from different parts of the world are exciting to incorporate in daily lessons through listening, reading, and writing

and speaking. The 4 essential skills required for any English exam.

I have been trained by the British Council through the “Train the Trainer” program and am thankful to them for

augmenting my skills. We are also an authorized registration center for the British Council.
