About Me
italki teacher since Jan 21, 2019Me as a Teacher
I try to keep classes playful and interesting.I believe we are learning best when we are having fun.
I believe language is a skill, not knowledge. I believe that emphasis on communication over trying to understand structure is the quickest way to acquire language. When something is relevant to us, it sticks. When we hear words and understand the gist of the message because of context, our brain puts it all together for us.
Having said that, I do love to get into the nitty-gritty of grammar, so for all those technocrats out there—you won’t be disappointed.
The best thing I bring to the table, however, is a sincere desire and commitment to helping my students reach their potential. My lessons & teaching style
I like to spend some time getting to know my students and their level so that I can identify their challenges. I have ample resources at my disposal and do my best tailor them to a students particular needs.
In my classes you can expect a lot of conversational practise, repetition and mimicking (for beginners), role play and coaching on specific language learning strategies that you can apply outside of the lessons.
For Bengali students in particular, I have a lot of resources—some of which I have developed myself—so you can expect all sorts of goodies between lessons!My teaching material

I've been taking lessons for a while with Chandra now. I can highly recommend him to anyone who has an interest in learning Bengali. His lessons are fun and I always feel like i'm progressing. Chandra has provided many homework tasks which complement the lessons and tasks with techniques to help immerse in the language.

Amazing first class! Just went right to the lesson! Chondru (sorry if I misspelled) spoke Bangla throughout the lesson that it just automatically turned my language in my mind to Bangla. I already have some basics down but even if I didn't, it was easy to follow what the words meant. We then talked about our respective experiences in language learning and he also introduced and spoke about his philosophy on language learning. He then went over the game plan for where it would be a good place for me to continue learning Bangla and I have to say I'm pretty excited to start!
