Pathways English Tutor

A Pathways English Tutor typically refers to educators or self-created programs or self-formatted systems or university pathway programs that provide specialized English language support, especially for students whose mother tongue or native or local language is not English. 

The Pathways English Tutor will be focusing on academic English, study skills, and bridging the gap to university success through personalized or structured lessons. 

They help students build fluency in reading, writing, listening, and speaking for real academic settings, often using integrated tech platforms and small-group tutoring. 

Key Aspects of Pathways English Tutoring: 

Target Audience: Primarily international students preparing for English-speaking universities or individuals needing general/academic English improvement.

Focus Areas:

Academic Skills: Note-taking, referencing, time management, academic writing, critical thinking.

Language Proficiency: Intensive training in the four core skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking).

Study Skills: Learning how to learn in a new academic environment.

Program Structure:

Integrated Learning: Combines online self-study with live, teacher-led sessions (virtual or in-person).

Technology: Uses platforms, apps, and digital tools for engagement (gamification, micro-learning).

Supportive Environment: Small classes, personal attention, and workshops to build confidence.

• Goals: To ensure students can understand lectures, write essays, and participate effectively in university, leading to success in degree programs. 

In essence, it's about creating a clear path (hence "Pathways") for students to master English for academic achievement.

Lala Lajpatrai College of Commerce and Economics, Lajpatrai Marg, Mahalaxmi, Haji Ali Mumbai 400 034

Bachelor of Commerce (BCom), Commerce

Grade: Pass Class

Activities and societies: Spent quality time at the College Auditorium and at the backside of Haji Ali Dargah facing the Arabian Sea.

My favorite hangout place was Bang, opposite the college, at Hajiali Durgah, not for praying but for sitting around the lovely rock-face landscape exactly behind the Durgah. It was a favorite place for bunking classes and idling our time away with female classmates. In those bygone days, our college was one of the few colleges in Mumbai that had its very own fully fledged and professional auditorium for all types of events. College students used to get the auditorium at subsidized and discounted prices for organizing their musical shows and events. One last memory of us supporting some college students who played the song PAPA KEHTE HAI BADA NAAM KAREGA from the Quamayat se Quamayat tak Hindi Bollywood movie in a live band on this same auditorium stage. Names are forgotten, faces are disappearing. What remains is a faint memory of that song well played by them on stage and all of us spectators dancing on the floor and even on the seats! College days never come back again.
