Dr Amirthakadeswarar

I am a professor of public health in the United States and have been taking Tamil lessons with Dr. Amirthakadeswarar for a month now. I am incredibly impressed by the breath of his knowledge of Tamil and by his love for the language and his dedication to impart that love to his students. To learn a language well, it is not enough merely to learn the vocabulary and the grammar. It is also incumbent upon the student to deeply understand the roots of the language and to appreciate its inherent beauty, through exposure to its poetry and literature. My desire to learn Tamil is to improve my ability to be able to communicate with communities about the science of public health, and while we learn that, Dr. A also shares his bountiful expertise about the history and culture underlying the language. He is a kind and patient teacher and is a pleasure to work with him. I can say with confidence that it is extremely rare to find another teacher like him and I strongly recommend him.

Prof Amirthakadeswarar is a scholar of Tamil language and literature. This means he is able to help students to not only speak and read Tamil but also understand the grammar. He can explain the language to all levels. For these reasons, he is a rare teacher on this platform. I encourage all who are interested in learning tamil to take a lesson from him.

More profound work on verbs and classical Tamil. Very helpful, but a lot of revision needed!

My professor has a vast knowledge of Tamil and world culture, history, ancient customs. His classes are absolutely brilliant!

I came to this lesson extremely frustrated and impatient as I could not find the correct translations for a text by Ramalingam, in classical Tamil. My professor handles me and the situation with the utmost care, patience, and intelligence. My deep gratitude to this wonderful teacher, constantly trying his very best to encourage and accompany me on this journey! நன்றி!

Dr Amirthakadeswarar is an excellent teacher . He has good practical knowledge of Tamil language, many years of experience teaching Tamil. I really appreciate that he also combines the language teaching with sharing information about Tamil history and culture. As a new student my main goal is to learn the language and also become fluid in using the language in a conversational setting. Dr. Amirthakadeswarar is providing step by step guidance by teaching letters and then proceeding to conversations. I am looking forward to the learning journey. Thanks, Ravi
