Speaking comes not only from learning but also from actively engaging in the act of speaking itself.

Mukesh Janwa is the Director of the Titanium Education of English Language Institute, which he started in 2009.
Reflecting on his humble rural beginnings, Mukesh says that he was born and raised in the village of Karju in the Chhoti Sadri tehsil of Pratapgarh District. He acknowledges his parents' occupation as farmers and his own experience working in the fields until the 10th grade. He completed his school education at a government school in his village before pursuing a B.Tech. in Electronics and Communication in Udaipur.
Mukesh says that his passion for teaching emerged during his school days, and he began taking tuition while he was in the 11th grade. Although he taught various subjects, English held a special place in his heart. He further pursued his interest by working in a call center, which eventually led him to establish his own English training institute, Titanium Education of the English Language.
Mukesh shares that his teaching approach took a unique turn when he observed the spoken English skills of actors in Hollywood movies. He recognized that the Indians' emphasis was more on grammar and structure than that of the native speakers. With this insight, he focused on spoken English, believing that speaking comes from practice rather than rote learning.
Mukesh incorporated group discussions, presentations, debates, and other interactive tools in his English training, which proved highly effective for his students. Through this approach, Titanium Education of the English Language gained popularity, attracting students from various locations.
Mukesh advises people who want to come into this field to believe in these three things: easy explanation, maintaining energy levels, and seeking feedback.
Mukesh believes in delivering lessons in a manner that students can easily understand, maintaining high energy throughout the course, and regularly gathering feedback from students to enhance his teaching methods.
