Hi! I'm Shyam, a CELTA-certified, native American English speaker currently in Austin, Texas . I was born in New York City to Indian parents, so I also speak a dialect of Southern India called Konkani.
After studying economics/anthropology in college, I worked for many years in financial services at a large bank in NYC before deciding to embark on a solo travel journey. Since then, I've built experience teaching in various settings, including at a language nonprofit in Colombia and a language school in Mexico.
Besides traveling as a digital nomad, I love meeting new people, dancing (Bhangra, Latin, Hip Hop), activities like tennis and surfing, and discovering local foods!
Ik als leerkracht
I first started tutoring in high school and have experience teaching in both casual and formal environments. I've taught English, math, SATs, computers, and even tennis.
As a patient and compassionate person, I enjoy guiding others on reaching their goals and seeing them succeed. In working with such a diverse range of individuals globally, I greatly appreciate the unique skills and background each student brings.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I am flexible and will do my best to support you, so I will adjust lessons based on your interests, motivations, and goals. When we first meet, I'd hope to simply get to know you a bit more and understand your needs. The lessons will mainly focus on conversational practice and real-life scenarios, which I believe is essential for becoming more comfortable and confident with a language.
I will be providing you with personalized feedback at the end of each 60-minute conversational class along the way to help you. Let's go!

I really enjoyed my Konkani lesson with Shyam. He was very knowledgeable and has a calm vibe about him, which is helpful when trying to learn a new language. I plan to book another lesson with Shyam again and would recommend him to anyone who is trying to learn the basics of Konkani.

Had my first lesson with Shyam learning Konkani and the 30 minutes I had learning with him were worth more than many hours of learning on my own. He did a great job of gauging where to start and has tailored my starting sentences to my needs so I feel I'm making huge strides right off the bat. Would recommend
