About Me
italki teacher since Jun 28, 2020Interest topicTravelFoodSports & Fitness
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!Me as a Teacher
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.My lessons & teaching style
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!5.0

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.
