Lakshmi Shankar, Founder & Principal

Lakshmi’s academic background includes a Master of Arts in English Literature from Ethiraj College, University of Madras, India. She demonstrates a keen interest in languages, most notably Tamil. Her commitment to lifelong learning is evident in her pursuit of computer networking studies in Atlanta, undertaken after her move to the United States.

For over 15 years, Lakshmi single-handedly taught Tamil to aspiring students with unwavering dedication. In her early years of teaching, she researched various teaching methodologies to facilitate easier learning and developed her own unique style for beginner classes. Her approach focuses on teaching groups of letters and immediately applying them to word formation.

Similarly, Lakshmi dedicated considerable time to researching and standardizing syllabi for various grade levels. She introduced several innovative concepts, including application-based knowledge testing, listening comprehension exercises, and speech/essay topics that explored both historical culture and current affairs.

One of Lakshmi’s notable achievements was teaching Tamil to a group of Emory University students who subsequently won scholarships for a research project in India.
