About

I am a teacher who believes in holistic education and mentorship. In my 39+ years of teaching experience, I have found that every student is unique and all the students have their potential that needs to be nurtured and cultivated. 

My aim as a teacher and mentor has always been to create deep interest in the subject I teach among my students and to cultivate and instil in their hearts that undying Ulyssean spirit of a seeker of knowledge who always tries "to seek, to strive, to find and not to yield"... to make my students imbibe that healthy attitude of always being a learner. 

All through my long journey as a teacher, my incessant effort has always been to make my students grow not just as students of English only, but also to groom their total personality and mould them into good human beings, good citizens of the world.

I think, the best and the greatest achievement of my life as a teacher has been the fact, that even long after leaving the college, my students always remember me as their dear teacher and see me as their mentor. They acknowledge it both in practice and their words. Even after 39 years long time, they still remember me, thank me and keep in touch with me. What more can a teacher want in life...?!
