Reviews (6)

I am very happy with Mr. Shyam as a German teacher for my son, who is still in primary school. After just a few lessons, we noticed that he is very patient and sensitive to my son's needs. I particularly appreciate his ability to structure the lessons in such a way that they are both interesting and educational. Mr. Shyam explains grammar and other complex topics in a clear and understandable way, which helps my son build confidence in the language. His materials are well structured and adapted to my son's level, which makes the learning process very efficient. He is also extremely punctual and reliable, which helps us a lot to fit the lessons into our busy schedule. What I also like is that Mr. Shyam always corrects mistakes in a friendly and encouraging manner, so that my son stays motivated and is not afraid to make mistakes. I can therefore highly recommend Mr. Shyam, both for beginners and for students who want to specifically improve their German skills, be it for school or for exams such as the Goethe Certificate.

His attention to detail is exceptional, as he consistently correct my mistakes in a constructive and encouraging manner. The teaching materials he provide are well-structured, engaging, and tailored to my needs, making each lesson both enjoyable and effective. I recommend Shyam as a great German teacher anyday.
Shyam is very sincere, interactive, punctual and he planned the sessions very well. My son is 10 year old learning German very well and he is always engaged in the full sessions. One thing I want to highlight is Shyam always give some homeworks and he does the recap with student very well. I recommend Shyam as a genuine German teacher.
My daughter whose mother tongue is not Tamil is taking Tamil lessons with Shyam. Shyam is a very good teacher and uses very good teaching materials to teach her. She very much enjoys the lessons and we find that she is quickly picking up the language and we look forward to further lessons with Shyam. We are very happy to have him as her Tamil teacher.

Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.

German Language for Beginners (Deutsch - A1 und A2)
German as a foreign language can be hard, especially regarding the grammar part. Always focusing on the structures of the sentences can be challenging and demotivating when trying to connect the sentences in a communication environment. That is why with the help of this class, you'll get more confident in building strong sentences without the stress usually involved. As a foreign speaker of German of over 3 years, there's no other person that understands the struggles better than I do. We will cover all the fundamentals with the background of grammar and syntax so that we are able to create a strong base for future advanced levels.

French courses for students in school and students who would like to improve in the language.
French is one of the most influential languages in the world. Knowing how to speak, read and write it while understanding the significant accuracy of the words used is an asset that unfortunately very few master. My lessons are based on my student's expectations, the areas in which he wants to work will be implemented.
