Ciya Manoj makes this class truly enjoyable. She is very patient and knows exactly the places we struggle on learning the language. I will happily recommend her to anyone who is already learning Malayalam and wants a trusted, patient teacher.

Starting with no previous knowledge, I have now completed 100 sessions with Ciya. She also taught me the handwritten forms of the Malayalam script with a digital writing pad, something that is very important, yet few teachers of languages with a non-European writing system have done for me. Learning Malayalam requires time, and Ciya has always been very patient, friendly, and helpful with me. She also explains about Kerala culture and traditions. Regardless of your language level, I can warmly recommend studying with Ciya. She is one of the gems teaching here on iTalki.

I love my classes with Ciya! She helps me understand written grammar and the differences with conversational Malayalam. Looking forward to the next lesson!

Ciya is a brilliant teacher, I have learned so much with her. As I've been having lessons with her for some time, now we mostly just chat and she corrects my phrases and offers alternatives. I really look forward to my class every week!

Ciya Manoj makes the conversational classes very enjoyable.

Once again, Ciya Manoj continues to provide stellar quality teaching. She is very patient and makes the sessions fun and enjoyable.
