Intensive 1-1 GRE mentorship program for Verbal
"Having used multiple sources to prep for GRE, I had a very different understanding of the way to prep for the exam, but 1-1 sessions with Sir have been immensely helpful in unlearning the wrong approaches. These sessions have helped me boost my confidence in approaching the questions."

Intensive 1-1 GRE mentorship program for Verbal
"Ajeeth makes GRE Verbal about more than vocabulary; he teaches you how to read, think, and reason your way through questions. His classes are engaging, his material is thoughtfully curated, and his patience and support go beyond the classroom. An excellent teacher for anyone serious about improving their Verbal score."

"I had been scouring for a good GRE mentor for a long time. The herculean vocabulary and labyrinthine Verbal section made the journey seem almost insuperable—until I found Ajeeth. What impressed me most was his perspicacious methodology. I won't divulge the details, but his idiosyncratic framework initially felt unconventional. As my preparation progressed, its remarkable efficacy became increasingly evident. Equally impressive was his understanding of student psychology. On more than one occasion, his judgments proved remarkably prescient, identifying my lacunae even before I had articulated them. Whenever I encountered an obstacle, he patiently offered practical, ingenious solutions. Vocabulary was my greatest impediment. Instead of advocating rote memorization, he devised a quotidian regimen that gradually made even recondite words approachable. His etymology-based EDX course further transformed vocabulary into something intuitive rather than mechanical. His explanations are consistently lucid, rendering even intricate questions tractable. Perhaps the most meaningful part of my journey is this: the vocabulary that once intimidated me has become part of my everyday thinking and expression. That transformation is the enduring legacy of his guidance. "

"Ajeeth sir is a fantastic, focused teacher who takes an immense amount of care in getting to know his students. Throughout my prep, he helped me focus on my weakenesses, offered me ample material to work on them, and encouraged me to do better believing in my potential. I ended up getting a 165 V score and couldn’t have done it without him! "

GRE Verbal
"I attended his GRE Verbal class at Chennai. He was just a few years older than most of the students in that class and hence we never had the teacher-student experience. It was more of a discussion session. Mr.Ajeeth is a lexicomane. It is fun and interesting to listen to him discuss about the etymology of some words and also how he remembers them. I still can recollect the anecdote he gave for the word, 'capricious'. Apparently he once dated a girl who's sun sign was 'Capricorn' and she experienced a lot of 'mood swings' ! Once he narrated most part of the Greek mythology to explain about the words derived from them. He even introduced me to Neil Gaiman and Stephen King and I've been reading their books. ever since. It is really fun, interesting and also beneficial to attend Mr. Ajeeth's class and I would definitely recommend his class to other students. "
Abhinav P Mohanakrishnan
"Ajeeth Peo was the Verbal Instructor for my GRE class. He is the one of the most inspiring teachers I have interacted with so far. My interest to excel in the verbal section primarily came from him and his interactive teaching methods. It was certainly an elevating experience. "

1. Identify a specific area you'd like to focus on. e.g. "speaking about past habits"
2. Break down the langauge required for this considering the learner's level - e.g. for a A2-B1 learner, you may need to teach them some lexis such as "used to", "something that I did was", "a hobby that I liked".
You will also need to think about the grammar structure that they may need to use "I used to", "I was...", "I was verb+ing"
3. Decide the format of your lesson. Will it be conversational or will it be teacher centres "teach->practice-> teach"
4. plan the differnt parts of the lesson and the activities you'd like to include, their goals and outcomes and how you'd want to measure them.
5. Trouble shoot -> deploy in a real class -> refine

Stories are usually the best mode of learning and producing language.
Use language aides to help young learners fill in parts of a story (half filled words on the board, the objects places in the classroom in real life that they have to scavanger hunt and find etc).
Use story telling as a means to help them creatively produce langauge. Perhaps a story train exercise where one starts the story and the each adds more details to the story. The target langauge and level would dictate the language and complexity of the activity.

Of course, it is! That said, the stress on the "r" is not as pronounced as with other languages. Sometimes the "r" is silent altogether.
It has to do with the fact that English is a modified form of several other 'germanic' languages. While it retains a specific spelling rule, the pronunciations are dictated by the root language.
