Hi! I'm Shyam, a CELTA-certified, native American English speaker currently in Southeast Asia. I was born in New York City to Indian parents, so I also speak a dialect of Southern India called Konkani.
After studying economics and anthropology in college, I worked in financial services and at an education startup in New York before deciding to embark on a solo travel journey. Right now, I'm helping out a language learning non-profit based in Colombia and am an English teacher at a language school based in Mexico, which I really enjoy.
Besides traveling, I love meeting new people, dancing (Bhangra, Latin, Hip Hop), outdoor activities like tennis and surfing, and eating anything with mango!
Ich als Lehrkraft
I first started tutoring in high school and have experience teaching in both casual and formal settings. I've taught English, math, SATs, computers, and even tennis. Most recently, I had the opportunity to teach English at a primary school in Perú and to adults in Colombia.
As a patient and compassionate person, I enjoy guiding others on reaching their goals and seeing them succeed.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I am flexible and will do my best to support you, so I will adjust lessons based on your interests, motivations, and goals. When we first meet, I'd hope to simply get to know you a bit more and understand your needs. The lessons will mainly focus on conversational practice and real-life scenarios, which I believe is essential for becoming more comfortable and confident with a language.
I will be providing you with personalized feedback at the end of each 60-minute conversational class along the way to help you. Let's go!
I have been learn with Shyam and I can say he’s so amazing teacher, very patience and supportive. My classes with him are complete and perfect to me because he’s frequently attentive to my necessities in english. Our classes are exciting and mild, so congratulations to this excellent teacher!

I really enjoyed my Konkani lesson with Shyam. He was very knowledgeable and has a calm vibe about him, which is helpful when trying to learn a new language. I plan to book another lesson with Shyam again and would recommend him to anyone who is trying to learn the basics of Konkani.
