Shadow teachers and special educators in Nungambakkam.

Nungambakkam is one of central Chennai's oldest and best-connected neighbourhoods, a mix of long-established family homes, apartment buildings and busy commercial streets. Many families have lived in central Chennai for generations, and extended family is often nearby and involved in the child's day. We introduce shadow teachers, special educators and remedial tutors to Nungambakkam families, verify qualifications with the issuing institution, speak to at least two references, and write a child-support profile with the family. The school is contacted before a shadow teacher is placed, and the placement is reviewed at one week, thirty days and ninety days.

Families in Nungambakkam use some of Chennai's oldest schools, many of them CBSE, matriculation or state board, as well as Cambridge and IB schools in central and south Chennai. Some long-established schools have firm expectations about who may sit in a classroom, so early contact with the school matters.
