I’m Millena John. A Ph.D. Research Scholar and an experienced English language teacher/writer. Words have always been my source of magic and I’ve utilized that to teach the essential skills of English. My expertise is further strengthened by my TEFL certification and Creative writing certification from the University of Oxford. Though I’m not a certified life coach I try and assist people to deal effectively with procrastination, low productivity and general challenges that do not demand medical diagnosis.

If you’ve ever been in a situation wherein you were unable to find the right words to communicate what you feel or think.

I can offer a clear solution to your problem with a simple and effective teaching strategy.

In our sessions, I will understand your retention level and we will start learning the basics and gradually progress towards mastering the English language.

My experience has provided me the skills to customise the teaching methodology as per the level of the learner. Once you join the session
you will have a clear idea of my teaching style and you will identify a stark difference in your
language prowess within a few sessions!

See you soon in the session!
