Who We Are and What We Do!

At Swayam Learning, we believe that interactive and intensive teaching facilitates motivation and interest in students when learning meets their needs. Our classes are designed to meet students’ needs and levels of understanding while advancing and accelerating their skills and abilities to at least three grades higher than their current level. Our curriculum is never static; it is progressive and intensive. We are aiming at long-term learning and mastery of skills that will be the tools they can use across any curriculum or subject/discipline for college.  

Our goal is to cover the gaps in learning, occurring in school in preparation for the exams and college. Thus, we support school instruction by providing additional exposure to advanced skills and concepts necessary for standardized exams and college preparation. We also support homeschooling efforts because our courses allow for a range of knowledge and skills in students while challenging them to apply current and new skills consistently and thoroughly.  

Consistency is key in our curriculum, so what they learn at one level will reappear again at another level but in more advanced ways. Application is the primary driving force of our curriculum as well, so students never escape from seeing how all the concepts need to be applied and intertwined. In this way, students learn not only the core concepts and skills of grammar, reading analysis, vocabulary and writing, but they also see how these support and intertwine with each other to prepare for more mature, higher-level analytical and writing skills.  

Our curriculum serves to prepare students for standardized exams, higher grade levels, AP/IB courses, and ultimately college. Our instruction is like a college classroom, interactive, task-based, and process-oriented. Each level that we offer builds on old skills and teaches new concepts to apply in new and advanced ways. Our approach is unique and inimitable. In the process, we also prepare students for collegiate skills: self-efficacy, responsibility, proactive learning, pride in presentation, adaptive thinking, critical thinking, and oral skills.  

We have been established since 2005, teaching students in the community with qualified instructors in education and/or in the subject matter they teach. Many of our professors are seasoned, experienced individuals at colleges and universities.  

We offer courses in English Language Arts (grades 2-12), Middle School Physics, Middle School Mathematics, Calculus, AP Calculus, Economics, Speech for Middle School, Speech/Debate for High School, and Watercolor/Pastel/Oil Painting.  

We also offer separate Semi/Private Tutoring programs that are customized to students’ specific needs in English Language Arts. These programs also run on a semester or short-term fixed schedule with the same goals for progress.  

Dr. Chaudhery has been a Northville resident throughout her life. She went through the Northville school system, is an alumni of University of Michigan for both undergraduate and graduate degrees, has 2 Master’s degrees in English and Health Administration, and a PhD from Wayne State University in Curriculum and Instruction. In the process of working as an Associate Dean and instructor in higher education as well as a business analysis and project manager in the IT industry prior to that, she saw the demands in oral and written skills, management, and leadership necessary in the corporate world and higher education.

She established Swayam Learning as a means to serve the community to better prepare students from a young age for a globally diverse and very competitive world that required excellence in the performance of all aspects of communication, thinking, and reasoning skills, tools that are the stepping stones for high achievement.  

Currently, Dr. Chaudhery seeks to broaden her program to offer CEU classes for new and soon to be certified teachers, to prepare them for the demands of the profession and refine their knowledge in the subject matter to address students’ skills and curriculum design.  She is also expanding the speech courses for adults, and tutoring program for those who need more specific assistance in English.
