Short answer
Tamil Nadu's spoken-English market is classroom chains and short crash courses in Chennai and Coimbatore. We do not teach in Tamil — explanations are in English, or Hindi for Hindi speakers — so the fit here is people who already read English and freeze when they have to speak it: in IT and support work, interviews and meetings. From ₹999/month, inclusive of taxes.

Tamil Nadu — facts that shape how you learn
- Tamil is a mother tongue for about 6.9 crore people (Census 2011).
- Tamil-medium spoken English is already offered by other institutes; we do not teach in Tamil, and we say so.
- Even in Chennai an institute sells English taught through Hindi (₹3,800 a month), so Hindi-speaking learners here have a real choice; our Hindi-to-English course is ₹999 a month.
