Discover the Ancient World Through One of Humanity's Oldest Living Languages

Are you a history enthusiast, anthropologist, or language lover fascinated by ancient civilizations? Explore Tamil—one of the world's oldest continuously spoken languages with a literary tradition spanning over 2,000 years.

What Makes Tamil Special:
Ancient Origins: Tamil belongs to the Dravidian language family with inscriptions dating back to 300 BCE

Unbroken Tradition: One of the few classical languages that has evolved naturally while maintaining its classical roots, Tamil history is heavily intertwined and influenced by Greco Roman trade.

Rich Literature: The Sangam corpus (1st-3rd century CE) contains some of the world's earliest secular poetry

Acerca de mí

I believe that mastering foundational concepts is essential before tackling advanced topics. My teaching approach emphasizes getting the basics right, ensuring a solid groundwork for deeper learning. I am approachable but maintain a structured environment that discourages slacking. Decisive and adaptable, I tailor the course load to match each student's learning pace. To make complex ideas more accessible, I use analogies and abstraction, breaking down difficult concepts into intuitive, understandable components.

Advanced math (from algebra, precalculus upto analysis 1): From a computer science undergrad with previous experience tutoring A level Math

56.04 $ /h

Taught by Niketha, a Computer Science undergraduate from the University of Florida (Presidential honor roll, Summa cum laude) - this class offers comprehensive instruction in mathematics. I am interested in distilling difficult concepts through abstraction and my teaching methodology is to focus on strengthening skills in foundational topics through conceptual understanding and applied problem solving (through exercises).

Math instruction ranges from algebra and precalculus to advanced topics like collegiate level real analysis (Analysis 1 & 2). I have previously tutored A level mathematics students (facilitated grade jump from C to A).
