Hobbies
My name is Kusumika and I am from India. Teaching is my passion and this is the only thing I ever wanted to do. I like meeting new people from across different nationalities and culture and enjoy the exchange of ideas and experiences that take place. It gives me great joy to share my knowledge with my students while at the same time learning from them. Each and every class to me is an opportunity to assist my students in learning things that they want to learn. I am an avid reader and I also love to travel. My teaching style encourages students to explore much more than the technicalities of a language as I believe that true learning comes from acquiring a language rather than learning it. I teach Communicative English and Bengali which will help learners in grasping the basics of the language so that they will be able to use the language effectively in their daily life. I also help them in learning vocabulary, perfecting pronunciation, achieving fluency and developing writing skills. An Advanced Bengali course is also available. I also teach a specialized Indian English Course focusing on Indian accent and culture. I have a program designed for Women who are looking to settle abroad. Discussions& Debates on various topics, Audio-visual resources, Role-Play and Situational Testing form a big part of the learning process. I also help in test preparations by giving useful tips.
