Native Tamil and English speaker with 5+ years online teaching experience. I specialize in conversational Tamil and English for adults and kids. Passionate about music, movies, tech, food, and travel—let’s make language learning lively and relatable! I also speak German, Hindi, and Malayalam, so multicultural learners are welcome. I'm from Chennai, India with 7+ years online teaching experience. Lessons target the four essential language skills—listening, reading, writing, and speaking—to build comprehensive fluency. Watching conversational videos and reading dialogues proves vital for improving speaking, complemented by crafting sentences from core vocabulary and phrases. Tamil courses suit beginners to intermediate levels, while English spans from foundational basics to advanced proficiency.

Excellent first class. Shyam was very patient and wanted to understand my background and learning needs, he even looked at my profile to understand what I have learned or currently learning. Would definitely book another lessons!

He shared a PDF of an interesting document and explained it to me. He helped me by typing the words that I couldn’t understand. Thank you Shyam.
