I am Ciya. I hold a Master's in Economics and a Bachelor's in Education. I have a passion for learning and teaching languages, as it allows me to meet new people and form lasting connections. Teaching Malayalam to students from around the globe has been a deeply enriching experience, giving me the opportunity to share my culture while building meaningful relationships.
Me as a Teacher
With over 15 years of experience in teaching Malayalam, I am deeply committed to helping anyone who wants to learn the language. My approach goes beyond the textbook- I'm passionate about getting to know my students, understanding their interests, and what motivates them. This allows me to tailor my lessons to their individual needs. I believe in creating a supportive and encouraging learning environment, where students feels comfortable and inspired to grow. Whether you are a beginner or looking to advance your skills, I am here to guide you every step of the way.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are designed with flexibility in mind, as I love helping students learn Malayalam in a way that suits their individual needs. My goal is to motivate you to practice Malayalam every day, so I tailor each lesson to your pace and preferences. Whether it's writing practice, reading comprehension or expanding your vocabulary, I provide language materials that will guide you in your learning journey. I'm also very open to helping students outside of the class, offering support whenever needed to ensure your success in mastering the language.

Ciya is a brilliant teacher, I have learned so much with her. As I've been having lessons with her for some time, now we mostly just chat and she corrects my phrases and offers alternatives. I really look forward to my class every week!

Ciya has been my teacher from the beginning of my Malayalam journey. She taught me everything I know. She taught me how to read and write the script, understand basic vocabulary and grammar, and she has shared interesting aspects of Kerala's culture along the way. Even though learning a language is a long process, I am excited to see how far I have come.

Starting with no previous knowledge, I have now completed 100 sessions with Ciya. She also taught me the handwritten forms of the Malayalam script with a digital writing pad, something that is very important, yet few teachers of languages with a non-European writing system have done for me. Learning Malayalam requires time, and Ciya has always been very patient, friendly, and helpful with me. She also explains about Kerala culture and traditions. Regardless of your language level, I can warmly recommend studying with Ciya. She is one of the gems teaching here on iTalki.

After 29 lessons with Ciya, I can read, write, and I am making significant progress with spoken Malayalam. These skills are helping me adjust well to life in Kerala. I appreciate Ciya’s thorough approach and kind demeanor. I am looking forward to many more lessons.
