“My relationship with Scott’s teacher is very good. I must say teacher Michelle is very engaged, she really is involved in Scott on a personal level, making sure he understands the objectives, following up on the homework, making sure that he is stretched so that he learns but not to a point of frustration where he doesn’t want to come anymore.”

“After coming here, what I realised was there was a vast improvement in her confidence; it was a very short period that we gave you all to help her, but what we saw was an improvement. I mean we are talking about double grades improvement.
As a parent there is no regret sending all my girls here. I’ve seen improvement from them in terms of their language skills, their concepts, and their writing which is very important because its not only English; the writing needs to be translated into to other subjects too.”

“Ms Richa took the time to get to know me and what kind of learner I was or what exactly I was lacking. Because of that the practice became more tailored to my needs so I wasn’t repetitively doing comprehension questions for the sake of doing comprehension questions.
During class we have very active discussions which widened my base of knowledge on global issues like politics or recent events and Ms Richa was quite open in not only sharing her own opinions but also open to listening to our opinions. Because of that I became more open to sharing my views on these world issues and I also started to use more real world events in my writing.”

Mrs Menon is a wonderful teacher. She truly engages the students in group discussion and apart from that, she makes sure that she knows each students strength and weaknesses. She also updates parents regularly on the students performance and what she has covered for the lesson. She is meticulous which is good, makes the student rewrite literature after correction. She breaks it down in such a way that the student can understand the important requirements. I am forever grateful to Mrs Menon. Thank you!

“Mrs Menon is someone who doesn’t just teach you how to get past mere examinations in school, but more so the ongoing examination of life and the several hurdles/tests we may face as students/teenagers. Despite teaching a group of 5-6, she is able to adapt immediately and keep track of students personal progress and more so their strengths.
Her several years of experience in teaching English as well as working with various schools has led her to be knowledgeable in the type of questions that will be asked and more importantly, how to answer them.
Mrs Menon is aware of what schools desire from hopeful DSA students and she has prepared me in approaching these interviews based on past experiences working with different institutions. We are all diamonds but she manages to bring out the inner shine in us, slowly but surely she polishes each of her students to shine.”
