Ahmedabad, New Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai and Palakkad are the cities where I was a full time teacher mainly teaching hotel management students, simultaneously tutoring students for CBSE Commerce Subjects . I blend my experience with subject matter to make it interesting for students to learn. Now, post my experience in full time working, I have decided to settle down in Kerala, my Home State to share all my experiences and learnings so that students develop in their character and excel in their professional lives.
I use wit, humour and Socrates method of questioning to get the answer from the Student, thereby acting as a catalyst to activate student's thinking.

Quote unquote -"His colleagues during his hotel management career and his students at The Institute of Hotel Management, Pusa, New Delhi – where he was a teaching faculty from 1989 to 1994 remember him for his leading by example and spurring the students to realize their true potential. The result – his student Dr. Mrs. Anshu Maheshwari Arora, CBSE Master Trainer and Principal, Amity International, Gurgaon (honoured as the Best Teacher in India for 2018) has paid tribute to him in her book ‘School Truths Revealed’.“What made him truly inspirational is not what he did but what he was. He wasn’t the critic who would point out our mistakes. He was the leader who belonged to that arena and exerted himself as much as he expected from us. “ The highlight of this being she has chosen and paid tribute to only the three teachers who influenced her positively from the 400 + in her school and college days. Besides, the book has been recommended by the former CBSE Director as mandatory reading by students, parents and teachers.

My memoirs Love Affection & Respect- A Teacher's Ode to his Students was written at the request of my students who had passed out a decade earlier. They sponsored the costs of publishing https://www.amazon.in/Love-Affection-Respect-Teachers-Students/dp ********* X
My positive influence on my students has seen two of them naming their son Neil in my honour !

Excellent teacher

Mr. Neelakantan has been teaching my son who is 11 yrs old. My son enjoys his classes and looks forward to it. Mr.Neelakantan has a very structured yet highly adaptable approach to teaching. He tailors his content of lessons to the needs of a beginner. He makes it a fun way for the kid to enjoy and engage in the topic. A great teacher !!

Amazing and friendly Teacher

1) My IELTS journey started with 2 failed attempts and wastage of 3 months. I took group classes from a reputed IELTS institute in Delhi and even enrolled in an online IELTS course but I failed miserably, scoring a band of 6 and 6.5 in writing in the first two attempts. Thanks to Iyer Sir finally my score jumped from 6 to 7.5 in just a little more than a month.

2) He was not only an IELTS coach but also a constant source of motivation for me. My speaking score, which was pretty low i.e 6.5 reached 7.5. All thanks to his excellent teaching methodology and detailed feedback, which I personally found very useful. I will recommend him to anyone who is struggling with the IELTS and wishes to achieve that Golden 8 7 7 7 scores.

LRWS
First Attempt - 8 7 6 7
Second Attempt - 7.5 8 6.5 6.5
Third Attempt. - 7.5 8 7.5. 7.5

Very Professional

Presently, I am taking IELTS sessions from Neelakantan Iyer Sir. He has a very good grip on Spoken English. He made me learn to think in English to enable confidence & fluency. I strongly recommend him to anyone who is struggling with Spoken English and lacks confidence but is willing to be patient and put hardwork to see it through.

Best teacher

Professor Neelakantan is very much appreciated. The former Institute of Hotel Management & Catering Technology Pusa, Delhi Teacher n author's inputs really were of great assistance for my assignments . He quietly with his expertise & knowledge made me confident. I recommend Prof. MS Neelakantan for those seeking a teacher online for hospitality management. I have retained his services as my mentor. His mentoring is top class.
