Find a Tamil tutor near me in Coventry

A handful of everyday Tamil words lets you greet people and handle simple exchanges from day one.

• Polite basics start with வணக்கம் (vanakkam) for hello and நன்றி (nandri) for thank you.
• Short answers rely on ஆமாம் (aamaam) for yes and இல்லை (illai) for no.
• Question words such as என்ன (enna, what), எங்கே (enge, where) and எப்போது (eppodhu, when) unlock basic questions.
• Spoken Tamil often shortens written words: "how are you?" is eppadi irukkeenga in speech but eppadi irukkireergal in writing.

One-to-one lessons turn isolated words into confident, natural conversation at your own pace.

Tamil tutors in Coventry typically charge £11/h.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• Your goals (conversation, reading, writing)
• The tutor's experience and qualifications
• The package you choose (one-off or regular)
• The teaching mode (in person or video call)

Comparing several profiles helps you find the best value.

The Tamil script can seem daunting at first, but it is built on clear and consistent rules.

• The 12 vowels, called uyir ezhuthu or "life letters", are the natural starting point.
• Consonants come next: 18 mei ezhuthu letters, where a small dot (pulli) marks a pure consonant sound like க் (k).
• Combined letters: each consonant takes a vowel sign, so க (ka) becomes கா (kaa) or கி (ki), giving 216 uyirmei letters.
• Regular practice with short texts, labels and simple stories builds reading speed and confidence.

A Tamil tutor guides you through the script step by step and corrects your pronunciation as you read aloud.
