About Me
italki teacher since May 26, 2021InterestsFoodBusiness & FinanceTechScienceTravel
Hello! I'm Tapas, a native Bengali and Hindi speaker, with English as my second language. I hold a master's degree in computer science and a bachelor's degree in physics. Working as a software developer and residing in Kolkata, the cultural heart of India, I'm naturally drawn to arts and heritage. Beyond code, I'm a devoted bookaholic, passionate about unraveling cultures worldwide.
Mastering effective conversations across languages, I believe language should never impede knowledge exchange. Let's break linguistic barriers together, fostering a global community where diverse perspectives can be shared and celebrated.Me as a Teacher
**Since my college days, I have been teaching both kids and adults English, Bengali, Hindi.
**I have experience of over 5 years in teaching students of all ages and levels and my teaching style differs with each.
**I try to get to know each of my students and allow them to know me as much as possible, to create a comfortable and engaging environment where they do not hesitate to ask questions or feel uncomfortable in making errors as it's all a part of learning.
**I believe that to succeed with anything in life, one has to enjoy what they do. This is why I try to make my lessons fun and interactive so that my students feel motivated to continue learning English, Bengali & Hindi.My lessons & teaching style
**Building vocabulary, pronunciation skills, basic grammar knowledge, and fluency are the core of my lessons. I focus more on helping to develop practical language skills that would enable the students to strengthen their proficiency in communicating effectively.
**I use audio resources in my lessons, which help students understand how the languages are used in real-life situations.
**I provide written materials about the topic of the day's lesson for revision purposes. I ensure that my students always have easy access to the required study assets.
**I use personalized resources for each of the students and coach them to accomplish their goals- both long-term and short-term.My teaching material

I like lessons with Mr Topas because he always finds appropriate material as simple reading books (which are excellent for my level), phrases which I can use in everyday dialogues, etc. He is very patient even if I ask one word many times. I have lessons with Topas nearly every day and my Bangla level has grown from absolute zero to A2 during only 1 month of lessons. Thank you very much, Topas!!! 🙂👍👍👍

Tapas is a wonderful teacher! I started learning with Tapas with zero knowledge of Hindi language in order to prepare for a trip to India. His teaching approach is intuitive and perfectly suited for beginners, making learning both accessible and enjoyable. Tapas is incredibly patient, always taking the time to explain concepts clearly and ensuring I'm comfortable with the material before moving forward. His methodical approach has significantly boosted my ability to understand Hindi in practical situations. Thanks to Tapas, I feel well-prepared for my summer in India. His teaching skill and dedication have made my learning experience phenomenal. I highly recommend Tapas to anyone looking to start their Hindi language journey. I look forward to more classes.

Having the conversational classed with Tapas for couples of months, my speaking English has improved a lot in fluency. He also gave me advice to enlarge and expand my vocabulary in order to enrich my oral and written English. Now I am able to get into the all English meetings in my workplace and communicate with native speakers. Thanks Tapas help me a lot and I will keep praticing with him to expect more progress.

Great with beginners! Started with zero experience and learning quickly. Running through sentence structure, conjugating verbs, and vocab. Would definitely recommend!
