Dr. Gireesh Kumar Thekkkum Kara

Teaching English, for me, is not simply about grammar and vocabulary—it is about building confidence, clarity, and critical thinking through communication. With over 16 years of university-level teaching experience and C2 proficiency in English, I bring a structured, engaging, and student-centered approach to every lesson.

My methodology combines communicative language teaching with academic rigor. I design lessons that balance speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills, ensuring students actively use English rather than passively study it. Each session includes interactive discussions, real-world examples, guided practice, and constructive feedback. I adapt materials according to learners’ goals—whether conversational fluency, academic writing, exam preparation, or professional communication.

For academic English, I focus on structured writing, argument development, presentation skills, and research-based vocabulary. For general English, I emphasize practical communication, pronunciation improvement, and confidence-building activities. I frequently use multimedia resources, scenario-based learning, and problem-solving tasks to maintain engagement and encourage critical thinking.

My lesson dynamics are supportive and motivating. I create an inclusive environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and learning from them. Continuous assessment, personalized feedback, and measurable progress tracking ensure steady improvement.

Above all, my goal is to empower students to communicate effectively and confidently in English in academic, professional, and everyday contexts.

I look forward to contributing to your learning journey.
