About Maks Shobha Anil
I am a communication professional and experienced educator with an academic background in Multimedia and Mass Communication, specialising in Journalism. My experience in teaching, writing, editing, public relations, and strategic communications has given me a strong foundation in English language skills and effective communication.
I believe that learning English should be practical, engaging, and tailored to each student's goals. Whether you are preparing for the IELTS exam, improving your academic reading and writing, or developing professional business communication skills, I aim to help you communicate with greater clarity, accuracy, and confidence.
My lessons focus on understanding concepts, practising real-world applications, and receiving constructive, personalised feedback. I create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, learning from mistakes, and progressing at their own pace.
I offer lessons in IELTS preparation, business English, professional email writing, reading comprehension, grammar, essay writing, and overall written communication. My goal is not simply to help you improve your English, but to equip you with the skills and confidence to use it effectively in academic, professional, and everyday situations.
Let's work together to make your English stronger, clearer, and more confident!

Learn English with Confidence: IELTS Preparation, Business Communication & Writing Skills
My Approach to Teaching
My teaching approach is practical, personalised, and focused on helping students communicate with confidence. I believe that learning English goes beyond grammar and vocabulary. It is about expressing ideas clearly, understanding different forms of communication, and using language effectively in academic, professional, and everyday situations.
I tailor each lesson to the student's current proficiency, learning goals, and areas for improvement. My sessions combine guided practice, interactive exercises, constructive feedback, and real-world examples to make learning engaging and effective.
What I Teach
1. IELTS Preparation
- Preparation for IELTS Academic and General Training.
- Strategies for improving Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.
- Writing Task 1 and Task 2 practice, including essay structure, coherence, vocabulary, and grammar.
- Speaking practice to improve fluency, pronunciation, and confidence.
- Practice questions, mock exercises, and personalised feedback.
2. Business English and Professional Communication
- Professional email writing and workplace correspondence.
- Business writing, presentations, and report writing.
- Interview preparation and professional self-introductions.
- Vocabulary, tone, and etiquette for workplace communication.
- Communicating ideas clearly and confidently in professional settings.
3. Reading and Writing Skills
- Reading comprehension, vocabulary building, and critical thinking.
- Grammar, sentence construction, punctuation, and spelling.
- Essay writing, creative writing, summaries, and structured responses.
- Improving clarity, coherence, organisation, and written expression.
- Developing independent reading habits and effective writing techniques.
Teaching Methodology
Every student learns differently, so I adapt my teaching methods to suit individual needs. I begin by understanding your goals and assessing your current skills, then develop a structured learning plan around your priorities.
My lessons typically include:
- Concept-based learning: Understanding grammar, language rules, and writing structures rather than simply memorising them.
- Practical exercises: Applying concepts through writing tasks, reading activities, conversations, and real-world scenarios.
- Personalised feedback: Identifying strengths and areas for improvement, with clear suggestions on how to progress.
- Progress tracking: Reviewing performance regularly and adapting lessons as your skills develop.
Lesson Duration
Lessons typically last 60 minutes, with the option of shorter 30-minute sessions or extended 90-minute sessions depending on your goals. IELTS preparation can also be structured into a series of lessons with practice assignments and regular progress reviews.
My Qualifications and Experience
I have an academic background in Multimedia and Mass Communication, with a specialisation in Journalism, which has developed my skills in written communication, language, research, editing, and storytelling.
I also have experience teaching undergraduate students, alongside professional experience in public relations, media, and strategic communications. These experiences have strengthened my ability to explain concepts clearly, adapt communication to different audiences, and help learners develop practical language skills.
Who Are My Lessons For?
My lessons are suitable for:
- Students preparing for IELTS.
- School and undergraduate students looking to improve their English.
- Adults seeking to strengthen reading comprehension and writing skills.
- Professionals who want to communicate more effectively in the workplace.
- Non-native English speakers who want to build fluency, accuracy, and confidence.
Whether you are preparing for an English-language examination, improving your academic writing, or developing professional communication skills, my goal is to help you become a clearer, more confident, and more independent communicator.
Let's work together to achieve your English-language goals!
