Discover the Ancient World Through One of Humanity's Oldest Living Languages

Are you a history enthusiast, anthropologist, or language lover fascinated by ancient civilizations? Explore Tamil—one of the world's oldest continuously spoken languages with a literary tradition spanning over 2,000 years.

What Makes Tamil Special:

About Me

I believe that mastering foundational concepts is essential before tackling advanced topics. My teaching approach emphasizes getting the basics right, ensuring a solid groundwork for deeper learning. I am approachable but maintain a structured environment that discourages slacking. Decisive and adaptable, I tailor the course load to match each student's learning pace. To make complex ideas more accessible, I use analogies and abstraction, breaking down difficult concepts into intuitive, understandable components.

Education

University of Florida - Summa Cum Laude - GPA 4.0/4.0 - Presidential Honor Roll
A levels - English, Mathematics, Physics and IT
Research Assistant at IIT Madras

Experience / Qualifications

- STEM tutor at CPS Global School
- Teaching assistant at UFL
- Have taught A level English and Mathematics - students made a significant grade jump (on average from D to B or C to A)
Taught by Niketha, a Computer Science undergraduate from the University of Florida (Presidential honor roll, Summa cum laude) - this class offers comprehensive instruction in mathematics. I am interested in distilling difficult concepts through abstraction and my teaching methodology is to focus on strengthening skills in foundational topics through conceptual understanding and applied problem solving (through exercises). Math instruction ranges from algebra and precalculus to advanced topics like collegiate level real analysis (Analysis 1 & 2). I have previously tutored A level mathematics students (facilitated grade jump from C to A).
