About Me

italki teacher since Jun 28, 2020

Hi! I'm Shyam, a native American English speaker currently living in New Jersey. I was born in New York City to Indian parents, so I also speak a dialect of Southern India called Konkani. After studying economics and anthropology in college, I worked in financial services and at an education start-up in New York before deciding to embark on a solo travel journey. Right now, I'm helping out a language learning non-profit based in Colombia, which I really enjoy. Besides traveling, I love meeting new people, dancing (Bhangra, Latin, Hip Hop), outdoor activities, and eating anything with mango!

Me as a Teacher

I first started teaching in high school and have a wealth of experience teaching in both casual and formal settings. I've taught English, math, SATs, computers, and even tennis. Most recently, I had the opportunity to teach English at a primary school in Perú and to adults in Colombia. As a patient and compassionate person, I enjoy guiding others on reaching their goals and seeing them succeed.

My lessons & teaching style

I am flexible and want to do my best to support you, so I will adjust lessons based on your interests, motivations, and goals. When we first meet, I'd hope to simply get to know you a bit more and understand your needs. The lessons will then mainly focus on conversational practice, which I believe is essential for becoming more comfortable and confident with a language. I will be providing you with a personalized shared document for each 60-minute conversational class along the way to help you review and track your progress. Let's go!
