One of the greatest gifts for teachers is the sincere recognition of their efforts by parents and students. We’d like to thank everyone who takes the time out to write to us – your words are highly motivating and deeply appreciated. Thank you for your support!
Respected Principal Ma’am & Esteemed Teachers.
I hope this note finds you well.
I am writing to extend my heartfelt gratitude for the dedication and hard work you have shown in supporting my son, Ishan Ahlawat , XII-C , throughout his academic journey at Tagore International School. Your commitment to his education and personal growth has been instrumental in his outstanding achievements.
I am thrilled to share that Ishan has been accepted in Vellore Institute of Technology ( VIT), Vellore, in his first choice of course I.e. Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, and I firmly believe this milestone would not have been possible without the exceptional guidance, encouragement, and teaching he received from all of you. Your unwavering support has not only helped him achieve great marks in 12th class and specially remarkable ranking in VIT entrance exam
i.e 47th in All India, but also instilled in him a passion for learning and a sense of confidence that will serve him well in the future & with such high ranking he has received a scholarship for the entire 4 years from the institute. Thank you once again for all that you do.
Your efforts have made a significant impact on Ishan’s life, and for that, we are profoundly grateful.
Poonam Ahlawat & Vikas Ahlawat
Parents of Ishan Ahlawat XII C
Dear ma’am
Dear Madam,
Respected Ma’am,
Thank you for the beautiful Eid wishes. Wishing a very Happy Eid to you and to the whole TIS family.
I surely wanted to mention that building the character of children is a herculean task. In this endeavor TIS follows not just academic excellence but adheres to core timeless values, which makes the institution timeless and forever relevant in building a better community. Sending lots of thanks and congratulations to the whole TIS family and Madhu Ma’am for building an institution of such excellence.
Regards
This mail is to express my gratitude towards the school authority, teachers, and the wonderful staff of TIS for wonderfully executing the online classes and putting children back on their study track. As both our children are students (class IV and VI) of the school, I feel extremely happy to see them enjoying and learning all concepts in a simple and easy manner where teachers are interacting with a lot of energy and enthusiasm, making online learning a fun-filled activity. The way all teachers plan and manage things in the stress of a pandemic reflects their hard work, sincerity, and dedication towards their students. I would also like to mention that sending day-to-day schedules with videos and schedules for online interactions as per time table shows their interest and punctuality to efficiently accomplish the activities of the day. Thank you to all the teachers of our children and to the school for not only focusing on the academic learning but also boosting physical and emotional growth by giving them a variety of activities to engage in. Hats off to the school. It makes us proud to be associated as parents.
Dr. Aparna Nautiyal (Parent)
I must say under your leadership, the entire TIS team is exceptionally good and always ensures providing the best of the education, culture and open platform to execute their innovative ideas to every student. Keep up the great work! Also, our entire family is glad that in this session, Amaan’s younger sister Ziya Haque has also got admission in TIS in Class Nursery and we’re really happy that both are kids will now be groomed by the best of the people. Once again, thanks a ton and best wishes for your future endeavours.
Ms. Aisha Haque (Parent)
It’s with great pleasure and gratitude that we are writing this mail to you. We would like to thank you, Madhulika Ma’am and all the teachers for awarding our daughter, Malvika Chawla. We deeply treasure and cherish the love, care and guidance Malvika has been receiving at every stage at TIS. In this past one year, we may not have formally expressed our recognition of the efforts put in by each and every teacher, primarily because we have not had the chance to meet them in person. But we do whole-heartedly appreciate their personalised, valuable, varied and timely inputs, especially in the year gone by. Hopefully, we will be able to meet the teachers soon and thank them in person. We wish the entire TIS, Vasant Vihar family the best!
Ms. Sabina and Mr. Sandeep Chawla (Parents)
I would like to pen down my thoughts as a parent to a student of your school. First of all I want to take this opportunity to thank you and your entire team for the smooth and seamless education each child is experiencing, even in these challenging times. I am thankful to all the teachers who have been so patient and exhibited calmness during classes. While discussing with other friends I feel Tagoreans are better placed and more sorted. I also feel the curriculum is in the right balance and proportion, which is a testament of the hardwork and vision of designing and creating such an environment during virtual learning time. Last but not the least, we feel privileged to have our child in your secured hands.
Ms. Rajni Parakh (Parent)
I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to the entire team of the school for wonderfully organising assignments in this not-so-wonderful time. My son, Darsh, feels super engaged and looks forward to your activities every day. Thank you so much.
Ms. Shivani Nagpal (Parent)
I am writing this letter to express our gratitude towards the school authority, teachers and staff of TIS. As Audrey Hepburn once said and I quote, ‘Nothing is impossible as the word itself says “I’m possible” and our school has yet again proven this statement. I would like to thank all the teachers of class 10th for their sincerity, honest devotion and perseverance. We know, sometimes your own children were deprived of your care and attention because you were busy attending ours. In fact I must say all you teachers are putting in utmost hard work to make the children understand the concepts in an easy manner. Hats off to school and the teachers for making the online classes possible, despite the fact that we all are dealing with this untoward pandemic situation, it is really commendable and we are sincerely at loss of words for your appreciation. We were apprehensive when the online classes started, about how the children would cope up as it was a completely new concept, but today after a month of their successful conduct, it has kept the zeal to learn and has also helped them to keep up with their academics in this tough time of lockdown. Thank you for being a guiding light, for wonderfully executing the online classes and helping the students to be on track, academically. This letter would be incomplete without a special mention of Ms. Sonia Bhatia (Hindi), Ms. Anuradha Arora (Geography), Ms. Vandana Sen Gupta (Chemistry), Mr. Vinod Ranjan (Physics), Ms. Anuradha Rao (Mathematics), Ms Remy Kaul (Biology), Ms. Neetu Khanna (English), Ms. Maitreyee Bhattacharya (History, Political Science & Economics) and Ms. Neila Hariharan (class teacher of 10-C). Once again thank you all for creating such a fun yet educative environment, you’re not just heroes to our children but I would say ‘Magicians’. We are extremely happy to be a part of the TIS family. With love, gratitude and a standing ovation.
Mr. Vikas Swarnakar (Parent)
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the school staff and teachers for keeping up with my daughter’s education during this time of a pandemic. The kind of hard work teachers are putting into their studies really shows how dedicated and inclined they are towards shaping a better future for my child and her mates. I really would like to appreciate Sameera Ma’am sweating hard to create an inclusive classroom. Anjon sir, trying his best to make painting sessions interactive and fun. Maitreyee Ma’am for making children understand our constitution deeply and making them connect with it. Komal ma’am for making psychology a subject everyone would enjoy studying and understanding. And last, Misha ma’am for her tremendous hard work in breaking the myths about home science being associated with cooking only and teaching students to be efficient, resourceful and a better part of the society. I conclude by saying a big Thank You to the TIS staff working this hard and making education a milestone.
Mr. Rajesh Chopra (Parent)
NUR. – Ms. Deepali Mathur and Ms. Kiranbir
Thank you teachers for being truly outstanding. Your passion for teaching and your dedication to your students is evident in everything you do. We feel so lucky to have Anaika in your class. We hope you know the priceless impact you have on our little champs. You’ve really helped our kids understand things differently and make learning fun for them.
Ms. Shilpa Tokas (Parent)
NUR. – Ms. Abha Haldar
Thank you so much for being Sidika’s first teacher. Her best teacher. Her favourite teacher. In these difficult times, you still connected so well with our babies. You were super supportive, always replied and helped us even if it was late at night. Even the parents learnt so much from your extremely patient, loving, and caring self.
Dr. Pallavi Garg (Parent)
NUR. – Ms. Abha Haldar
You are indeed one of the best teachers they can get in this lifetime. They might grow out as kids and might not remember, but as a mother, I always will.
Mrs. Shukla (Parent)
KG – Ms. Shweta Chawla
I would like to thank Ms. Shweta Chawla, my son’s Kindergarten teacher for introducing him to Theatre, exploring his talent of going on stage, playing roles and delivering dialogues. Srijit was her student in Class KG A in the academic year 2017-18. They had staged a play of Aladdin and the magic lamp for their annual performance of Expressions. Since then, we have enrolled him in summer camps and weekend drama classes. He loved it and performed well in the exams conducted by Trinity College London for Performing Arts.
Ms. Lakshmi Rao (Parent)
KG – Ms. Shalini Duggal
Both Shalini and Nikita Ma’am have been an inspiration of patience and dedication, the way they handled kids during this year. Not only did you glue them to their seats and screens but also gave them unparalleled love. It showed the respect students had for you. A big thanks to the school for understanding the working parents’ woes and taking care of our kids in this tough year.
Parent
KG – Ms. Vandana Jerath
Thank you for helping Tara and all these lovely kids transition through a very tough period and making their learning fun despite all the odds. It’s been a steep learning curve for everyone but as parents, we are eternally grateful to you, Shobita Ma’am and Niyati Ma’am, for all the love you have showered on them. Tara has told everyone including her grandparents how sad she is that she hasn’t been able to hug you and say bye properly. It really seems to have troubled her! Thank you once again. All our gratitude.
Mrs. Shruti and Mr. Mohit Sain (Parent)
CLASS I – Ms. Lini Roy
We want to express our appreciation towards the parent-teacher interaction we had today with Ms. Lini Roy. She’s a gem of a teacher, precise, efficient, and very observant. She gave us concrete points and my faith in her and the school went a few more notches. Many thanks.
Dr. Charu Khurana and Satya Bhushan Aggarwal (Parent)
CLASS I – Ms. Pampa Chatterjee
Thank you for all your selfless sacrifices and patience. Parents have got the easy job of raising their own kids. They are rewarded for all their sacrifices with the joy of watching their own blood grow up into fine human beings. Teachers have got the tough jobs. Their rewards are limited to the hope that their wisdom will make a tiny difference into the lives of children, helping them become good people. Thanks for believing in our son and helping him believe in his own abilities. You’re truly a wonderful teacher. You have made a great difference for all of our children because you genuinely care so much about them. You have directed them to trust themselves. Your hard work during this tough time is incomparable. Thank you for everything you’ve done for Debashish this year. He loves you and his online classes so much that he always likes to be on time so that he can talk to you before class. That is a testament of your teaching. As a parent, we are so grateful and blessed to have a wonderful person like you as a mentor for our son.
Ms. Eveta Sarkar (Parent)
CLASS I – Ms. Snigdha Khajuria
Heartfelt thank you for your guidance and effort to make online learning a big success for us. The transition from kindergarten to junior school is a landmark in every child’s life and for us, with this lockdown, online school will be remembered forever. It’s an overwhelming feeling for Orion as well as for me. We will miss your sweet smile and daily morning classes. As a parent, I feel so involved and attached to you. Thank you for your love and affection that was showered through your engaging interactions with every child and for empowering each one of them.
Ms. Swati Dias (Parent)
CLASS I – Ms. Snigdha Khajuria
We love your Storytelling classes. Aarza has been waking up excitedly every morning just to sit for the sessions with you. She started coming up with ideas of making stick puppets for narrating stories during the classes. I’d like to thank you for showing me a side of her I didn’t know existed. We look forward to more sessions!
Ms. Sunint (Parent)
CLASS II – Ms. Aditi Goria
Deep gratitude and appreciation for the excellent efforts you’re putting in these unprecedented times. Always smiling and encouraging even a mediocre performance by my child. we can sense your spirit to ‘raise with praise’ behind this. Just a couple of days back, for the first time, I saw the recording of the class and saw you dancing along with the kids. I was amazed to see you going to that length to pep up children. No wonder you’re an instant click with them. My daughter has never been so fond of a teacher as she is of you. It’s a loss for children to be with you for two hours only, that too in online mode! Thank you for everything.
Ms. Ekta Abbot (Parent)
CLASS II – Ms. Kritika Negi
Being at home with the child and observing them take exams and attend classes, we have realised the strong foundation that the school has built in the students. During the journey of the Spelling Bee competition, we realised how well phonetics have been taught to the child. Though he could not win, he was still hopeful, excited, and confident. Humble thanks to you and Renu Ma’am!
Rashmi Berry
CLASS II – Ms. Kritika Negi
These times have been tough and it is equally so for the teachers. I have often seen Kritika Ma’am interact with students in the break time and saw her teach them good manners, social skills, and being a good child citizen. She is affectionate with these young students who are often distractive, sometimes repetitive, and often found asking silly questions. She holds her patience even when children don’t understand and she is made to repeat herself over and over again. We are very happy with the virtual classes being conducted at TIS. Thank you!
Ms. Kanika Tewari (Parent)
CLASS III – Ms. Meenakshi M
I would like to thank the school authorities, teachers and staff of TIS and congratulate you for the tremendous work you’re doing during this pandemic time. Meenakshi Ma’am and Sonia ma’am are the front line workers in school who have shifted education from classes in school to virtual learning and providing support to all the children. The classes are very well planned and layed out, easy for kids to follow. The workload is just enough and she does not feel loaded and rushed. Apart from studies she also enjoys the fun activities, computer and art classes, P.E schedules. She feels really boosted when asked questions and appreciated for her answers. The best part of these classes is that you ask questions from each and every child in the class which makes it very interactive for them. Hats off to all you teachers for all the efforts you are putting in to make it work.
Ms. Kavita Bahri (Parent)
CLASS III – Ms. Monica Kakkar
This is a note of gratitude on behalf of the entire Maitra family. “Cooking without Fire”, the activity that was perhaps conceived as a fun skill-building activity for the younger members of the TIS family turned out to be much much more, thanks in large measure to the way Monica Kakkar madam executed it. The biggest corroboration of this is the tinge of sadness that I sensed in my son, when madam announced on Wednesday, “tomorrow will be the last class”. The current times have been and continue to be quite challenging for both of us Ahaan’s parents – while his mother, Chief of Nursing at a hospital, gets to sleep only at 3:00/ 4:00 am – trying to keep patients alive and ensuring their best possible treatment in the face of critically short supply of oxygen and other resources; I am dealing with managing my teams in Myanmar (I work for BBC, Myanmar) in the face of a military coup and daily arrests, bomb blasts, shootings and a disproportionality larger risk to those working in media. In such circumstances, we are not able to give Ahaan the kind of support other parents are perhaps able to provide. But the way Monica madam handled the 9-day workshop, it gave Ahaan a sense of “normal” – the hour Ahaan spent making the goodies on the “Cooking without Fire” sessions, and several hours after that when he couldn’t stop talking about what he did and how, were the best parts of his day. We are still not sure which one we enjoyed more – relishing the tasty fruits of Ahaan’s labour, or the glow of accomplishment on his face. We deeply appreciate the school management for designing this activity and Monica madam for not only teaching the sumptuous recipes (that the rest of us in the family enjoyed as much), but for making Ahaan proudly self-reliant and also for triggering healthy eating habits. But most importantly a huge gratitude to the entire School Management for giving Ahaan (and I believe, the other children also), a sense of “normal” in these challenging times.

CLASS III – Ms. Trisha Sood
My Memories of school life are not complete without your wise lectures in the classroom. I really miss you. Thank you for being such a great teacher and bringing out the best in me.
Raahithiya Gupta (Student)
CLASS III – Ms. Meenakshi M
As a parent, I am very satisfied and happy with the ongoing online classes which children are doing independently during this lockdown due to the pandemic.The classes have given children a new perspective of learning and achieving their goals. The classes are for a limited time keeping in mind the limited screen time for them. Special thanks to Meenakshi ma’am class teacher 3B who is very particular during break time and has taught children to utilise their break to move from their seats and relax their body. Teaching at Tagore has always been fun, interactive and child friendly. Even the art and computer like subjects are taught in a very simplest understandable form. I would also like to mention that these classes are running with full discipline and following the cyber safety norms. The teachers deserve an applause. In the end, I would just like to state that as a Tagore family we know our school always does the best for the students.This is also a new and good way of learning for the children.
Ms. Sukhdeep Kaur (Parent)
CLASS III – Ms. Monica Kakkar
I would like to appreciate school for this fantastic initiative to keep kids in a joyous state of mind which is imperative to their mental and physical growth. The classes are happy classes! Ms. Monica Kakkar always makes it a point to ask children if they are happy to do these activities. They are encouraged and loved which is key. I cannot emphasise enough on the concept of active learning where students absorb concepts and ideas willingly. These skills are taught in a systematic way and in language which is suitable for 5 – 7 year olds. I would like to emphasize that Ms. Monica has an amazing connection with kids. She is one of those teachers who transcends beyond being a school teacher to be a positive influence and a loving mentor.
Jessica Kaur Pahwa (Parent)
CLASS III – Ms. Vandana Trivedi
A big Thank You to Ms. Vandana Trivedi. This year, she is not only teaching the kids, she’s also teaching the parents and we are lucky to be learning again from you. Every ‘Good!’ and ‘Well done!’ from you means far more to us than you can imagine. Thank you for helping us all.
Neil Vikram Aggarwal (Parent)
CLASS III – Ms. Trisha Sood
A big thank you to you for teaching with so much patience and showing faith in Amaan. Helping all children grow and bloom everyday, you made learning more fun than ever. You have truly been a great teacher and I thank you for all your efforts to make this online journey so beautiful.
Ms. Aisha Haque (Parent)
My Teacher, My Idol
Mrs. Usha Rani is my Sanskrit teacher. In my opinion, her best quality is her sense of humour. Her methods of teaching are also very unique and our classes with her have never been boring, or anything short of the absolute best really. However, her teaching in and outside classroom extends beyond the subject as she also teaches us the importance of hardwork, punctuality and kindness, to name a few. I have always seen her as my mother more than a teacher. Usha m’aam is a very intelligent and inspiring woman and I am extremely grateful that I have had the privilege of learning under such a teacher. I will always be thankful for the guidance, love and support that she has given me.
Lavanya Saha (Class X)
SANSKRIT – Ms. Usha Rani
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for being such a fantastic teacher. My partner and I realize that teaching is often a thankless job, and we see how you pour your heart and soul into daily lessons. Your passion for your students is inspiring to us as parents.
Divys thoroughly enjoys your classes and speaks very highly of you. The very fact that you are ever ready to hold doubt classes for my child shows how involved you are with her.
The hours you spent during and after class giving Divya individual attention to ensure she grasped the material, went above and beyond today’s expectations. Thank you for your patience.
Warm regards
Indu Sijwali (Parent of Divya Sijwali)
HINDI – Ms. Kalpana Bajpai
We both thank you for the important role you played in the last one year of online classes. Your passion for your students with enthusiasm and utmost patience made us recognise your influence and moral guidance to our daughter. We wonder how you are able to keep it up at the expense of your personal time. You explain things so well, you always include everyone in discussion, so no one feels incompetent or self conscious. So here, we along with Abhirami take the opportunity to thank you for being her teacher.
Ms. Priya and PV Nair (Parents)
HINDI – Ms. Kalpana Bajpai
आज से लगभग 15 वर्ष पहले पोर्ट ब्लेयर के सब्जी मार्केट में मैंने प्राइमरी स्कूल कक्षा में पढ़ने वाले एक बच्चे को अपनी मां से यह पूछते हुए सुना था, “Mummy! दस means what?” उस बच्चे के इस छोटे से प्रश्न ने मन में एक मंथन उत्पन्न किया था। मन दु:खी हो उठा था…. अब तक चली आ रही मैकाले की शिक्षा व्यवस्था से… प्रोफेसर राय बर्न के मौलिक शिक्षा दर्शन के प्रति मन बार-बार आकर्षित हो रहा था। आज उक्त पीड़ा का समाधान तलाशते हुए हमारा परिवार आपके प्रति आभारी है। क्योंकि हिंदी भाषा शिक्षण के माध्यम आप बच्चों के मन में अपनी मातृभाषा के प्रति अगाध प्रेम जगा रही हैं। हाल ही में गरिमा ने हिंदी में गिनतियां सीखने का आग्रह किया जिसके पीछे आपकी प्रेरणा है । इसके लिए आप साधुवाद की हक़दार हैं।
Mr. Ashoka Kumar Srivastava (Parent)
HINDI – Ms. Priya Pal
Thank you for creating such a positive and supportive environment. You have always replied to all his doubts. With all of your patience, help and support, Sabhya has achieved a lot this year. Thank you, ma’am. You have made a great difference for us. Because you care so much about them, you have directed them to rectify their errors and mistakes. I will take care of all suggestions that you have advised to be more refined in his Hindi. Even though the session is over, still your concern by sharing the list of books so that he can write more expressively shows your concern towards your students.
Ms. Ruchi Arora (Parent)
HINDI – Ms. Sonia Bhatia
It’s a tough time for kids to be at home due to lockdown but with the efforts of Tagore International School faculty and especially Ms. Sonia who in all spheres helps parents with their queries and appreciates her students. This has been the motivation for the kids to enhance their skills and strive to perform even better in their academics and fun activities as well. Thank you Ma’am for your support and love that you shower even when you are not physically around.
Ms. Monika Singh (Parent)
HINDI – Ms. Sonia Mangal
Thank you for being a true guide to our kids. The torch bearer who held our kids’ hands and lit up their paths through these dark times. It has been a wonderful year for the kids even though the times were trying for us parents and teachers alike. We could see all the hard work you had to do to make it possible, especially during the lockdown when you had no outside help. Thank you for not giving up on our kids. Thank you for showing us what can be achieved, even when things look hopeless.

Special Olympics Bharat – Delhi, take this opportunity to thank you, students of your school and Ms Umaraj Chopra for organising “Disha – 3” online in partnership with Special Olympics Bharat – Delhi from 02nd – 6th July 2020. I want to extend a heartfelt Thank You for you and your team’s commitment in making this event so successful. You, the entire staff and the youth leaders of Tagore International School held the event in a beautiful and professional manner. I appreciate the time, effort and skills of Ms. Uma Chopra, teacher of your school, students and the Judges. Here I want to extend my appreciation to Saburi, Tanish, Shayan and Saira for their tireless efforts to make this event a grand success. We also like to appreciate the willing support provided by all, to participate in the event enthusiastically without which the conduct of the event would not have been as successful as it turned out to be, well beyond our expectations. Needless to say, the personal touch and effort of Mrs. Uma Raj Chopra, Hindi TGT of your school went a long way in ensuring that our objectives were met. I would also like to recognize the support of school students who volunteered their services for the cause and helped in arranging all the facilities for the event. They did not give any scope for any complaint. Please convey our deep appreciation to all concerned and once again I thank you profusely on behalf of all the special athletes and staff of Special Olympics Delhi. We look forward to similar help and cooperation for our Special Athletes in the future.

Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher and teaching us. I loved coming to your class each day! Thank you for being a bright spot and something to look forward to in the school day.

SANSKRIT – Ms. Usha R
Our respect and admiration for you as our son’s Sanskrit teacher cannot be expressed in words. You have a measurable effect on the lives of the students in your class, and they will remember you for many years to come. I am truly thankful to you the way you taught him and made him ready for the exams. There is no single chance when you have not replied. You have made Sanskrit so easy to understand that he scored well during his exams. We’re so grateful and our son has the good fortune of having you as his “Guru”. Thank you.
Mrs. Ruchi and Gaurav Arora (Parents)
SANSKRIT – Ms. Usha R
Although my words can never do the justice in thanking you for whatever I have achieved, I would still like to thank you for all the things that you did for me ma’am. You’re the best teacher I have known in my life. I literally have no idea what I would have done without you here. Thank you so much for making your classes so much fun and for finding new ways to teach us so that we could learn better. I can never thank you enough for all the efforts and hardwork that you put in to teach your students. I am really blessed to have a teacher and mentor like you in my life. Thank you so much Usha ma’am.

HINDI – Ms. Sonia Mangal
You’ve been a really wonderful teacher for my daughter, Smriti. You taught her for five years and treated her as your own child, and I’m really thankful for that. A big thanks to you for giving her the advice she needed to make good decisions and for being committed to such a selfless profession. You’ve always encouraged my daughter, and have helped many parents like me. The best part is that you plan so many great activities for the students and they get really excited about learning. I appreciate all of your hard work and a positive environment you provide to your students.
Ms. Anju Chhabra (Parent)
I found the paper overall to be easy and scoring. While I did encounter some challenges with the logic codes but I managed to work through them. The practice papers were immensely helpful, especially with the mcqs, as many of them were repeated in various papers provided by you.
Thank you so much ma’am, for everything over these past 2 years. You’ve not only helped me develop a love for the subject but also become a better student and, ultimately, a better human being. I still remember our first day, when I expressed doubts about managing the subject, but your guidance proved invaluable in navigating it smoothly. Personally, I enjoyed the times when I could call you for small things and discuss my issues over long calls.
Thank you once again ma’am. I hope to stay in touch with you!

Dear Seema Ma’am,
You were an amazing teacher who helped me express myself and grow as a person. You were a constant source of guidance and comfort for me.

Your constant affection made me dive deep into the subject that I didn’t have confidence about.
Thank you so much ma’am You will always be my favorite mentor
Gurmaan this side, I’ll be leaving for the USA tonight to pursue Game Development in MSU.
You were the first person to ever push towards CS as a subject, and it wouldn’t be wrong to say I would not have pursued this goal if not for your words back then.
It being my last day, I wanted to express gratitude for everything you did for me during school, despite my absence for the majority of the session, I will still miss your CS classes in 12-C.
Thank you

Now that you’d finally have the time to breathe after an overwhelming shower of messages and results, I’d like to express my gratitude towards you.

Thank you for the extra efforts you put in for all of us throughout the preparation.
Words aren’t enough to express the immense respect and gratitude that I hold towards you.

Hello Seema Ma’am,
I want to take a moment that just thank a teacher like you who has always had my back and has always guided me towards the right direction and made me independent.
Even though I wouldn’t have been perfect academically but i think my personality and my independent studies were because you.
I studied all the subjects of term 2 by myself to keep myself by seeing how i can do alone.
I may have started late,Atleast i have started it correct.
You have always had my back in the worst times
I feel so sad that we could spend half a term together..without a doubt you were my favourite and the most honest teacher.
Who despite me asking something 1000 times never lost tempor..
Who sacrificed her sleep
Who consoled me when i lost my best friend.
I promise to never loose touch with you and keep you updated with my 100 %score in 11th and 12th!
Just once again,Thank you ma’am for being an amazing person

Thank you ma’am !

MATH – Ms. Anuradha Rao
I used to dislike math but because of Anuradha Rao Ma’am it became my favourite subject in the tenth grade. She supported me even when I did not have any faith in myself. I couldn’t have given that exam with as much confidence as I did if it weren’t for her. I did not even need to take tuitions because you were such a great teacher. You were always there to motivate me, not only for studying Math but also when I used to feel down and was having a bad day. Thank you for everything!

MATH – Ms. Kulbinder Chawla
I am sending this mail to thank you for the way you make us understand concepts, I have never been a good scorer in maths I thought maybe there is something wrong in me which makes me a below-average student in this subject but now when I actually make an effort in listening to you in online classes, I have come to realise that even I can improve, with just a little change in my attitude. I have started feeling confident about it and it wouldn’t have been possible if you weren’t there. You are undoubtedly the best math teacher I know. Thank you for never giving up on me and clearing my doubts whenever I had one. I promise to make you proud by doing my best in every class that you take. your efforts won’t go waste, I assure you this. I am blessed to have gotten a teacher like you, I simply am thankful for your existence.

MATH – Ms. Sushma Sangwan
This is the first year when Yash is doing Maths independently and it is because of your teaching. In fact, I listen to your videos and his revision time. He confidently explains what the diameter is, radius, chord, polygon, etc. Seems like this year, his fear of Maths will end. Thank you so much.

Gauri Ma’am, No words could ever express how much you inspire me every single day to work harder to achieve what I desire and it makes me aspire to be a better person. I remember when I had just entered TIS, I was this shy person who would be terrified to even speak up on the microphone to answer a simple question. In a short period of time, you have turned me into this confident and bold person who isn’t afraid of answering or speaking up anymore. You have made me realize that it’s okay to be wrong and that teachers like you will always be there to guide us to make that wrong right again. Thank you for everything.
SCIENCE – Ms. Gauri Sen
Gauri Ma’am, you make learning fun and go an extra distance in making us understand the fundamentals through innovative in-class activities. Under your tutelage, I ended up participating in many inter-school science competitions, proudly and confidently representing our school at National and International forums and ended up bringing many laurels to the School. In Class XI, you played a crucial role in helping me objectively take a very personal but key decision to return to Tagore International School. Looking back, it was indeed a right call to make as I realized that not only the faculty of Tagore was better in terms of experience and attention, but also overall the school had much more to offer in terms of opportunities and exposure. Thank you for making us realise that the sky is not the limit.

SCIENCE – Ms. Nidhi Dimri
I take this opportunity to convey my profound gratitude and deep appreciation for all the support and motivation Ms. Dimri has given to our children and made their year-long journey smooth and Class 8 most memorable, in spite of the grimness that prevailed in the form of the pandemic. This year I have seen my daughter becoming more responsible, attentive and study oriented. In the beginning, I was very apprehensive with this online method of teaching, as I feared that my daughter might get glued to the monitors and may not do anything productive. But as it turned out, all the class work, assignments, group and individual projects, tests and final exams made her more focused and constructive in approach. Once again, I would like to convey deep gratitude and reverence to the class 8B and its teachers (Navita Maam, Rita Ronita Maam, Kulbinder Maam, Nidhi Dimri maam, Usha Maam and Uma Maam) for their painstaking efforts and to the office staff and principal madam for providing the platform.

During these times on behalf of my ward Vrinda Arora studying in class 7th -C of your school would like to thank the school for taking an initiative to start with the online teaching sessions in a very well planned manner which was the need of the hour.Being the starting of the new session we surely feel with the guidance and experience of all the teaching faculty children will benefit with this initiative taken by school. We would like to specially thank Mrs Chetna Sawhney their science teacher who has taken immense effort to make online videos along with the worksheets and study material to make children cope up with the loss of their regular school days.The kind of handouts provided by Mrs Chetna Sawhney are extremely helpful apart from the regular lessons. Having our children in such an experienced and organized institution gives us a great sigh of relief when the only thing at this hour required is being positive and moving ahead.

This is Prachi Chitre , Suyash’s mother. A few days ago I collected Suyash’s marksheet from the school and it dawned on me that officially the connect with TIS is over! I know it is quite late but his father and I would sincerely like to express our gratitude to you. You may not realise it but you have played a major role in shaping Suyash’s personality. He was a lost 11 year old when we moved from Mumbai. The culture, environment, people, education system everything was new to him and he was very low on confidence. I still remember our 1st meeting where we asked if he could be admitted in the Sanskrit division and you convinced us that he should take French as was offered to him. In hindsight that was the best decision. By taking French, you were his class teacher for 2 consecutive years and you moulded him. Encouragement, softness, firmness, you gave him all that was required. You provided opportunities for him to increase his confidence. The France trip happened because he opted for French and that was another learning experience for him! Whenever we think of all the teachers that have very positively influenced Suyash, we will always think of you.
With your blessings and wishes, he has taken admission in VIT Chennai campus for Computer Science engineering with a specialization in Robotics and Artificial intelligence.
We wish you all the best for a wonderful future and hope that you continue to enrich many more lives!
Thanks again

Thank you for having taught me for three years in Tagore. I will always remember everything I’ve learnt from you, and if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to do well in the exams. I plan on opting for Political Science in college. Thank you so much!

I feel that a student gains interest in a particular subject only because of a good teacher. Pol Sci being my favourite subject, you have played a major role and your constant motivation was ever so supportive. I also think that I was the student who always asked the most doubts but you cleared each and every one of them without getting irritated and I loved that. Thank you for everything.

Coming from a different state, Bihar, it was very difficult for me to adjust in a metropolitan city like Delhi. Added to this was that no one interacted with me in class. I felt left out in school and was without the support of my family at home. At this point, I had made the decision to quit school and go back to Bihar. Without me even knowing, Manpreet Ma’am contacted my mother to find the reason behind my frequent absence from school. This is when she got to know that I had decided to quit school. Manpreet Ma’am convinced myself and my mother that I should rather stay in the school and make an effort to interact with everybody. She also helped me with my pronunciation. Within a few weeks, I had made some good friends and now the whole class is like a family to me and all my teachers are like my mother away from home.

For that and everything else, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I would like to express my gratitude towards all my teachers for handling all the academic classes so well! The live sessions are so enriching and interesting. I want to specially thank our PE instructor (Nishant Sir) and Dance teacher (Ms. Malovika Mam) for making it possible through live sessions, an interesting experience altogether .I really miss my school days where I use to enjoy my Aerobics and Art Pursuit Classes. Thanks to the entire staff of Tagore International School.

Samriddhi Singh Student, Class IV
The P.E. class also, in it’s own way, was very satisfactory. Even though we were sitting in our homes-we still got tired with the rounds of exercise which in a way was amazing as we could have the fun of attending PE classes, which we all love and greatly look forward to in school, in these stressful times. I think it really helped all feel fresh and made us energised for the rest of the day.
Atharva Pandey (Student)
The good part about PE and Dance is having the teacher online and live. The energy of doing it together with all my friends was great. PE sir shared exercises using some very interesting and innovative ways. I understood everything Malovika ma’am shared as she did it so nicely, engaging us so well and really enjoyed the dance she made us do. I am looking forward to the sessions with excitement.

Hello,
- My son Master Aniket Sharma is a student of Class VII A (Roll No 10, Admission No 14741) in your school. I am an Indian Army doctor, earlier working at Army Hospital (R&R) Delhi.
- I have been posted to Institute of Naval Medicine, INHS Asvini at Mumbai, Maharashtra as it’s a transferable job.
- My son will be completing his class VII in the current session at your prestigious school, and we are planning to admit him in class VIII at my new duty location- Mumbai.
- Covid pandemic has given a window to the parents to appreciate the hard work put by teachers for taking online classes. Being a doctor, I can very well understand that they were also dealing with some new means of communication and being judged by the parents every time. Me and my family really applaud the efforts of teachers. I will take this opportunity to thank all the class teachers in my personal capacity as well as on behalf of Aniket. Our sincere thanks to Principal madam, Sushmi madam, Radhika madam, Reema Pant madam, Priya Pal madam, Usha madam, Jyoti Narang madam, Dipti madam and Manisha madam. We would also like to thank your administrative staff especially Kalika madam and PA madam. You all are wonderful.
With gratitude,

I would like to thank Tagore International School for inculcating all the life skills and developing an empathetic child who understands and loves to work for the nature. Tagoreans understand that Environment is foremost valuable. In these tough times of not coming to school physically also the school has been instilling life skills and constantly working on their physical development with education. I would sincerely thank all the teachers and the whole team of Tagore International School for helping my child grow to be a better human being.

I’m happy and proud that children are receiving education and awareness about LGBTQI rights at this age, enabling them to rightfully recognise and respect the rights of various communities in the society that they wouldn’t otherwise interact with -including LGBTQI community. Even though I strongly believe that any kind of extremism is bad for humankind, understanding and respecting diverse cultural and social issues is a fundamental criteria for any educational system to mold a student into a responsible citizen. It’s a great pleasure that my daughter is studying in TIS VV, a school which imparts a value based, diversified extra curricular activity based environment which includes various campaigns, leadership skills, value based speech and drama, various competitions etc.

I would like to express my gratitude towards all the teachers at TIS for their commendable efforts to make the online learning experience so fruitful and interesting for all the kids during these trying times. It is not at all easy making all those presentations, worksheets, videos, class schedules, etc. All the teachers are working so hard, putting so much effort for each and every session, despite the fact they have their family and children to look after. Apart from Academics, the school is also focusing on the physical and mental growth through physical activity sessions from time to time, which again shows the kind of dedication the school and teachers have towards our kids.
Ms. Neetu Batra (Parent)
I am thankful to all the teachers of class 4 who are making great efforts to provide meaningful, interesting and educative study materials in the form of worksheets, YouTube links and self shot videos to the students constantly. My daughter watches the material shared regularly with great enthusiasm and does her worksheets sent by respective teachers. She becomes overwhelmed after receiving the response from her teachers individually when she sends her assignments to them for verification. I really appreciate this online program which is keeping up the zeal to learn new things among students. Also, it is helping them to keep up their academics in this tough time of lockdown. Thank you for all of this!
Ms. Neha Malhan (Parents)
I’d like to express my appreciation towards the efforts taken by our school to conduct online classes and helping the students to study and clear doubts. The online classes have been a huge success and all the students of my class have actively participated in all the classes being held till date. I am extremely grateful to the school for taking this initiative of teaching the students from home and completing the syllabus on time. As 10th being a board year, I find these online classes extremely helpful and I am able to learn a lot from these classes.
Yashwi Pathak (Student)
My husband and I have always felt TIS has the best philosophy and laud the fact that you carry out initiative such as this. Our children need to learn at an early age how to respect all and be free of prejudices. Applause to the Tagore community for the work they do on this front. Two of our children have graduated from your school and they have amazing values and we are forever grateful to the school for it. Keep it up!
Ms. Jesleen Lalmuanawmi (Parent)
I take this opportunity to thank all my teachers and school faculty who are putting their hard work and efforts to teach us during this lockdown. I would like to share that yesterday I attended my first online assessment by Navita Ma’am in Social Science. This was my first kind of online test and I scored well in this. All assignments, PPT’s and study materials are shared with us on time. The well timed classes makes my schedule disciplined and makes me feel as if I am going regularly to school. We are given homework and encouraged to do activities based on the topic taught. Even though I miss going to school, I am still learning so many things from home.
Kartik Bhardwaj (Student)
We are reaching out to you to thank the School and its entire team – more specifically Abha Madam of Nursery C and Renu Madam of II A (Class Teacher of our Son Nabhyajit Tamuly). Both Abha Madam and Renu Madam have been helpful to put our kids to work and keep the rhythm going. As parents, we belong to a world where working virtually is not the normal norm; likewise, we understand how difficult it is to teach kids in a virtual world. We note that it is not just the assignments they are giving but also the calls they have to attend from parents including the periodic meetings. We highly appreciate the steps taken by TIS-VV for their students.
