InKavita'sownwords, "I build the module, activities, teach, meet people, grow my network, and relationships in Global Language-The Academic Partnership LLC India. I currently offer online English language sessions for a variety of age groups, ranging from 4 to 60. I also have plans to launch a classroom-based programme. As a lone proprietor, I am responsible for all of the duties, which teach me, define me, and shape who I am. And because of it, I adhere to the motto ‘Growing Better Never Stops.’”
“Starting an institution is not a child game, and I realised it between 2019-2021 because the idea of starting an institute started in 2019, but in the middle of the pandemic, it became an online sensation, and the tough time was the initial stage where I had to take it to the next level as a solo proprietorship because a journey from a teacher to an Educator and an Entrepreneur,” sheaddsfurther
Shealwaysstates,“My passion is my profession. We all know that education is a must, and over on top of that, the essence of effective communication skills is the need of an hour, and that’s what made me think from a different angle. I have served as a Communicative English teacher in different schools, colleges, freelance, and even as an Assistant Professor in my teaching journey of 15 years, but as you can see, it’s specifically in the English Language, and yes, that’s my niche.”
