What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my language skills and cultural knowledge while contributing to a supportive educational environment.

I am a passionate Tamil teacher with over two years of experience at the Minnesota Tamil School, where I have successfully taught both native and non-native speakers. My role has allowed me to develop and implement engaging lesson plans that enhance students' proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing Tamil. I take pride in my ability to create a supportive learning environment that fosters cultural appreciation and language skills.

In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I have actively participated in various school activities, including coordinating performances and providing original content for student projects. My commitment to education extends beyond the classroom, as I have also contributed to community events and workshops aimed at promoting Tamil language and culture. I believe in the importance of collaboration and have worked closely with fellow educators to ensure the success of our students.
