    Tamil Tutor - Certified in Teaching- 3 years Experienced in USA  Hi Friends ,
    I am native Tamil speaker and tutor of the Tamil language. I have got opportunity to teach Tamil to Americans for 3 years. It’s always fun to learn new language and I can teach you in interesting way. My parents both mom and dad are professional retired Tamil teachers . I have been born and brought up in Tamil background family .

    Why choose Ilaveini V.
    "Ilaveini V. is an awesome teacher! As a second generation immigrant in America, I grew up in a household where my parents spoke in Tamil, but I was never able to respond back in Tamil. My goal in Ilaveini's class was to regularly practice speaking in Tamil to increase fluency. Within a few weeks, my fluency has improved and Ilaveini has encouraged me to set a new goal, to be able to read and write Tamil. In just a few classes I have already learnt all of the uyir eluthu alphabets and am slowly starting to read! Ilaveini makes class fun and engaging! A few fun examples of homework she has given me in the past range from, listening to Tamil songs, watching Tamil movies and summarizing the movies in Tamil or translating the lyrics. This has really helped me, not only learn the language but also grasp the culture. Our sessions go by very fast, and I feel like I have learnt a lot, all while having fun! I would recommend taking classes with Ilaveini! Her classes are holistic - you learn Tamil language skills, how to read, write and speak, but you also learn about Tamil culture. "
