About Shanthi
I’m a University Tamil Rank Holder, Psychologist, and Special Educator with over 12 years of teaching experience in supporting diverse learners. I specialize in phonics, reading, spelling, and academic development, using a structured, multi-sensory, and patient approach. Every child learns differently, so I design personalized materials to suit each learner — especially those with learning difficulties, ADHD, or slow learning needs. My focus is on building confidence, comprehension, positive behavior, and lifelong learning skills. I also have extensive experience in teaching Tamil, Commerce, Business Studies, and Economics to both Indian and international students. Many children who struggled to cope with their school curriculum were able to continue in the same school and make steady progress with my personalized academic guidance and support.

My mission is to make learning simple, structured, and joyful for every child, helping them gain confidence and enjoy the process of learning. Before starting classes, I conduct a diagnostic assessment to understand each learner’s strengths, challenges, and learning style. Based on this, I design personalized lesson plans tailored to each child’s pace and needs. I use phonics-based techniques to strengthen reading and spelling skills, along with study skill strategies that simplify concepts and improve understanding. Learning in my classes is interactive and activity-based, keeping students engaged and motivated. I provide regular feedback and progress updates to parents and students, ensuring consistent improvement. My focus is always on building confidence, independence, and a positive attitude towards learning.
Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
My child has shown gradual and consistent improvement in reading and spelling. Strengthening maths from the basics has helped build much better clarity and confidence. The use of memory techniques has been especially helpful in learning and recall.
We have noticed clear progress in verbal output and self-confidence, and self-monitoring skills are slowly developing. Support with planning, organizing, sequencing, and prioritizing tasks is positively impacting overall learning. Basic grammar skills and concepts are improving step by step with your guidance.
Creative writing and handwriting still need improvement, but with your continued support and structured practice, we are confident this will also progress. Time management is getting better with guidance, and we are happy to see improvement in cognitive flexibility and emotional regulation, which has had a positive effect on learning and classroom behaviour.
I strongly recommend your sessions to other parents who are looking for structured, patient, and effective support for their children’s learning needs. Your approach has made a meaningful difference, and we truly appreciate the progress we are seeing.
Thank you so much for your continued support and guidance, ma’am.She is an exceptional teacher who truly understands my son. She adheres to a proper schedule and tailors her instruction perfectly to his learning style. We have noticed remarkable improvement in his spelling and overall learning approach. She simultaneously provides counseling for adolescent behavioral and emotional regulation, and her classes have significantly enhanced his cognitive flexibility. Her positive interactions have successfully boosted his self-esteem. Furthermore, his time-management skills have improved, and his ability to effectively retain and apply information in his answer sheets has developed significantly. She regularly discusses his progress and provides constructive feedback to us, the parents. I strongly recommend her classes to other parents.
Shanthi Madam is an excellent and professional tutor. She taught English and Tamil to my son from the basics, and now he reads confidently. Her step-by-step teaching, remedial support, and activity-based methods greatly improved his reading, spelling, and writing skills.
She teaches according to each child’s mindset, focusing on both strengths and needs, which builds confidence. She is approachable, quick to respond, and always clarifies doubts—even after class. Her flexible timings are very helpful.
Because of her effective teaching, we also enrolled our son in Maths, and he is gaining confidence in that subject as well. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated tutor.See more recommendations
