Sanjay has a good system and plan for learning language. This is the second Indian language we are learning. His book and resources seem to be really helpful!

Amazing lesson with Sanjay! I love the book written by him, and his teaching style - very polite, and patient with explaining the sounds and inner workings on the beautiful language.
Nandri Sanjay.

Sanjay is a talented and amiable teacher who made me feel immediately at ease and excited and motivated to learn Tamil. He offered many great tips and insights in the short space of a trial lesson and took the time to pinpoint my concerns, tailor a plan and establish my goals for learning. Sanjay has a great understanding of the complexities of language and how to best learn and teach it. He has also sent me a massive, very detailed book about learning Tamil that he wrote himself. Thanks Sanjay. Looking forward to the next lesson!
