Shannu

Shannu lives in Tamil Nadu, India, but has been teaching his mother tongue, Tamil, to learners around the world with Language Trainers via online classes for over six years. He is, then, an expert at leading group courses remotely. Shannu combines his organizational skills, his love of education, and the vast collection of digital materials and resources he has collected over the years to deliver focused but flexible and engaging lessons in his virtual classrooms. Shannu is highly skilled at teaching a group syllabus to learners of a similar proficiency, but he is also experienced at one-to-one instruction. As such, he observes individuals in his lessons, noting their specific interests and struggles, and adjusting the pace and approach as required. As a native speaker with an insatiable desire for knowledge, Shannu delights in imparting his language to others. But his sense of satisfaction from teaching comes not just from seeing his students improve, but also from cultural exchanges via in-class conversations with his students. In other words, he is as excited to learn about your culture as he is about informing you of his own. This quest for understanding is reflected in Shannu’s other qualifications, hobbies, and dreams. He has a Master’s degree in English Language and Literature, and holds a deep love for poetry, writing, and movies, especially those with a historical setting. Further, Shannu is a keen explorer and he wants to travel the world while teaching, with a particular desire to visit the UK and his favorite nation, the Netherlands, which he has visited three times already!
