About Shivdev
Hi, I'm a technology professional and proud immigrant who has called Surrey home for over 15 years.
When I first arrived in Canada, I understood better than most how much language shapes everything — your confidence at work, your ability to connect with people, and your sense of belonging in a new country. English wasn't just a skill I needed to learn; it was the key that unlocked every opportunity I have today. And over 15 years later, I can honestly say that mastering it changed my life.
That's exactly why I teach.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Technology and have built a 15+ year professional career here in Canada — so when I talk about workplace English, professional communication, or navigating life as an immigrant, I'm speaking from real lived experience, not a textbook.
What drives me most as a tutor is watching people find their confidence. That moment when a student stops second-guessing themselves mid-sentence, raises their voice in a meeting, or finally feels comfortable speaking to their child's teacher — that's everything to me. I've seen it happen over and over, and I never get tired of it.
I teach conversational English, accent reduction, grammar, writing, and workplace communication. I also speak Hindi and Punjabi fluently, so if you're a South Asian newcomer who feels more comfortable starting in your mother tongue, we can absolutely work that way. No judgment — just progress at your pace.
My lessons are structured and practical. I provide lecture notes after every session so you always have something to refer back to. I offer in-person lessons in Surrey and virtual lessons for students anywhere in BC and beyond.
Whether you're just arriving in Canada or have been here for years and still feel held back by your English — I want to help you get to the other side of that. Because I know what's waiting for you there.
Let's build your confidence together — your first lesson is free.

Moving to a new country is one of the boldest things you can ever do — and your English skills shouldn't be what holds you back.
I'm a fellow immigrant based in Surrey, BC, with a Bachelor's degree in Technology and 15+ years of professional experience. I've walked the same road you're on, and I know exactly how much confidence in English can change your life here in Canada — at work, at school, and in everyday situations.
I teach English to newcomers, working professionals, university and high school students, and stay-at-home parents across Surrey and online. I also speak Hindi and Punjabi fluently, so South Asian students can learn in their mother tongue first, making the process faster, clearer, and far less intimidating.
What we work on:
Everyday conversational English for real-life situations in Canada
Accent reduction and pronunciation coaching
Workplace English — emails, meetings, and professional communication
Grammar, reading, and writing at all levels
ESL support for high school and university students
What makes my lessons different:
I provide structured lecture notes after every session — you always leave with something to keep
Flexible scheduling — in person in Surrey or virtual from anywhere
First lesson is free — no pressure, no commitment
Taught in English, Hindi, or Punjabi depending on your comfort level
Whether you're preparing for a job interview, trying to help your kids with homework, or simply want to feel more confident speaking English — I'm here to help you get there.
