Hello, my name is Lissy and I was born in Mumbai, India on 8th April 1967. I am energetic and goal-focused education professional with solid qualifications in English Language Teaching. I am certified in TESOL with specialization in teaching Business English from American TESOL Institute. I have a track record of consistently improving the student’s specific needs and help them use practical application of their newly learned language skills. It’s my passion to create a difference in my student’s life by going extra miles to make them feel comfortable, fluent and ready for the working world.  

I am a graduate from Mumbai University with a major in Economics. I also have a Post-Graduate Diploma in computer science from Datapro Institute of Technology in 1990. I was weaned as a software developer on various implementations of Microsoft BASIC and COBOL in the 90’s. I consider myself a reasonably experienced software developer with a particular interest in the human side of software development like managing people.

Before making a lateral move in Human Resources, I gained experience working in support functions like Administration, Accounts, Logistics, Sales and Training with mid-sized companies. I earned MBA in Human Resources in 2010 from National Institute of Management while working as General Manager-HR in a Private Limited Company. Before joining this company, I had over 6 years’ experience working in a generalist role as an HR Manager at small to mid-sized privately held companies. In this role, I managed payroll and compensation, staffing and selection, implemented various HR related programs, and developed training when appropriate. I was especially appreciated for working strategically within the business unit to help them meet their goals and objectives.
