I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for the warm support and guidance that my tutor Ms Sudipta rendered to me. Her constant guidance and kind words have been such great support to me for being able to complete my PG Diploma in TEFL. Since day one my queries, doubts and concerns were catered to immediately and with efficiency. The course material was easy to comprehend and has definitely given a new tangent to my thinking as a teacher of English.
