Class 12 General English Tuition — Tamil Nadu (SCERT Board)
A full board-year of General English for Class 12 on the Tamil Nadu state syllabus, following the SCERT reader through every prose lesson, poem and supplementary reading. Each is taught over three short days: the lesson, then a sheet marked at once, then a recall round. The grammar the book sets — tenses, modals, reported speech, prepositions, conditionals, voice, question tags, clauses, non-finites and transformation — is taught inside the lessons. This is General English, not the separate Communicative English paper.
57 daily sessions of 10–15 minutes. Follows: General English, Standard XII (SCERT Tamil Nadu — Free Textbook Programme, Current print).
Enrolment and classes run on LangVR, the BRETS learning platform.
