About Me
italki teacher since Jan 21, 2019Me as a Teacher
I try to keep classes playful and interesting.I believe we are learning best when we are having fun.
I believe language is a skill, not knowledge. I believe that emphasis on communication over trying to understand structure is the quickest way to acquire language. When something is relevant to us, it sticks. When we hear words and understand the gist of the message because of context, our brain puts it all together for us.
Having said that, I do love to get into the nitty-gritty of grammar, so for all those technocrats out there—you won’t be disappointed.
The best thing I bring to the table, however, is a sincere desire and commitment to helping my students reach their potential. My lessons & teaching style
I like to spend some time getting to know my students and their level so that I can identify their challenges. I have ample resources at my disposal and do my best tailor them to a students particular needs.
In my classes you can expect a lot of conversational practise, repetition and mimicking (for beginners), role play and coaching on specific language learning strategies that you can apply outside of the lessons.
For Bengali students in particular, I have a lot of resources—much of which I have developed myself—so you can expect all sorts of homework and goodies between lessons!My teaching material

Chandra is a brilliant teacher who has a genuine enthusiasm for Bangla. I knew nothing about this language and he was very enthusiastic to help me get started. He has a lot of resources and was very patient to answer my numerous questions. It is hard to find good teachers who care so much about their work in this way - what a great class! Thanks!

I've been taking lessons for a while with Chandra now. I can highly recommend him to anyone who has an interest in learning Bengali. His lessons are fun and I always feel like i'm progressing. Chandra has provided many homework tasks which complement the lessons and tasks with techniques to help immerse in the language.
