Vinod Shankaran Reading Compr,Critical Reasoning &Grammar for all
No reviews yet

If you have mostly struggled to understand the nitty gritties of grammer (is the spelling correct?) or if you have constantly fretted over how 'I have had dinner' becomes a good sentence, you have come to the right guru. My experience has endowed me with an (grammar sahi hai?) unique insight into the trouble-areas students face when they learn English.

Of late, most exams have moved away from testing grammar. Instead they test your vocabulary, reading skills and critical reasoning skills. If you are new to critical reasoning, you don't need to despair. There is a method to the logical madness(sic) that options to questions confront you with. I will teach you concepts that are easy to understand yet very powerful tools to spot the correct answer. You will be delighted to know that I can teach you English in English (obviously); English by using Hindi (you will be amazed!); English by using Tamil (better still). I can also try a bit to use Bengali to teach English.

Especially if you are a 9th or a 12th grader looking to score high in English to enhance overall scores, you are at the right place. I specialize in teaching English syllabus for CBSE/ ICSE/ IGCSE and IB. Watch a demo on YouTube.

I am sure you are also thinking of CUET, CLAT, AILET, IPMAT, JIPMAT etc. if you are a 12th grader. Feel free to watch a demo on our YouTube channel.

Vocabulary or word power is another area tested in exams. I used to be called a 'walking dictionary' by our Principal at St.Anthony's School Ranchi. I have kept that title alive even now. I will transfer that knowledge to you and make you adept at your word skills in a jiffy. What are you waiting for? Let's talk and fix your English today. See you in the class room.
