Drawing from my extensive experience in Special Education since 2010, I am committed to providing comprehensive learning support tailored for children from Class 1 to 10. Armed with a Graduate degree from Bombay University and specialized training as a Shadow Teacher certified in Special Education, I bring a unique approach to teaching.

My journey began in 2010, focusing on teaching and supporting special needs children. I have served as a Shadow Teacher at various institutions, where I applied innovative teaching methodologies to enhance learning outcomes. My dedication has been underscored by the success of my students, some of whom have pursued careers in medicine, achieving MBBS degrees.

In my educational approach, I prioritize both online and offline modes, offering interactive sessions lasting 1 hour. I employ a blend of methods including Play and Learn, Storytelling, and Playway techniques to engage students effectively. These approaches not only foster academic growth but also promote social skills and emotional development.

To supplement learning, I utilize PowerPoint presentations to illustrate key concepts and engage students visually. Moreover, I provide assignments that reinforce learning objectives and encourage independent thinking.

Join me in creating an enriching educational journey where every child's unique learning needs are met with patience, creativity, and a commitment to excellence. Together, we will build a foundation for academic success and personal growth, empowering students to thrive in their educational pursuits.

Iona Mam is an excellent tutor, guide and mentor, specially for the kids who are lagging in their academics. She worked very hard with my son and taught him how to write alphabet, two/three letters words, short sentences etc. Made him comfortable with number identification/ counting / writing/ addition etc. Apart from academics she is a very good human being. Very hardworking, dedicated towards her work and goals. I wish her all the best for all future endeavours. Keep doing good work. Thanks once again.

They glue words together. They take two or more small words (like "car," "door," and "handle") and stick them together to create one giant, super-specific word (like "cardoorhandle"). English uses spaces, but Dutch and German skip the spaces and make one long word.

The main downsides of learning Dutch are that nearly everyone in the Netherlands and Flanders already speaks excellent English, limiting opportunities to practice. Also, its pronunciation can be challenging for speakers of many languages, especially the difficult 'g' and 'ch' sounds.
