About Me

I am a Certified Professional Teacher from India, teaching adults and children all over the world. Bengali is my Mother Tongue, Hindi is my Native Language and English is my First Language. Having more than 20 years of experience in teaching helps me in understanding the needs of individual students clearly and customize the lessons accordingly. I like meeting new people from across different nationalities and cultures and enjoy the exchange of ideas and experiences that take place. I focus on familiarizing my students with the local culture and different regional accents used. Each and every class to me is an opportunity to assist my students in learning things that they want to learn.

I am a TESOL Canada certified English Teacher and British Council accredited IELTS Trainer. I have a first-class Master Degree in English (MA). At present, I am a management student of IIM Calcutta. My courses are designed to be flexible so that they may be customized to suit the individual need of students. I teach Bengali from Beginners to Advanced levels. Besides focusing mostly on speaking and listening skills, I hold extensive discussions on Bengali Literature, culture, music. I use videos from my own YouTube channel to explain the different concepts discussed during the class.

A variety of courses designed by me, enable learners in grasping the basics of a language including grammar. I also help them in learning vocabulary, perfecting pronunciation, understanding local accents, achieving fluency and developing writing skills. I give Homework assignments and regularly revise the lessons. Discussions & Debates, Audio-Visual Resources, Phonemic Chart, Role-Play and Situational Testing form a big part of the learning process. I am quite flexible in my teaching style and have a friendly approach. For children I devise Games, Quizzes, Animations and use colorful e-books to make the lessons interesting. I use PowerPoint Presentations to illustrate the topics.
