Our story
Tickle Treetops Academy began with Ramya’s homeschooling journey—a chapter filled with stories, hands-on discoveries, creative projects, and the everyday joy of learning together.
Watching children grow in confidence inspired a bigger dream: to create a warm, nurturing place where more children could ask questions, explore their interests, and discover what they are capable of.
Today, Ramya brings together teaching, creative workshops, and home education to give young learners a warm place to explore, build confidence, and discover what they can do.
Meet RamyaWhat families say
“We have had a wonderful experience with Ramya. She ensures that children understand each topic and teaches in multiple ways. She is patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about her students’ progress. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great learning environment!”
“I’m really happy with Miss Ramya and the way she teaches little ones. She is very caring and makes learning fun for the kids. It’s lovely to see my kiddo learning new things and slowly becoming more confident. Thank you, Miss Ramya, for making these early learning experiences so enjoyable!”
“Thank you, Ramya, for bringing so much passion, energy, and enthusiasm to every class! It’s wonderful to see how excited our daughter is to attend her phonics class and how she wants to come every single day. Your way of teaching makes learning so much fun for her, and we truly appreciate the joy and positivity you bring to the classroom. Thank you for making such a special difference!”
“Ms. Ramya is very passionate about teaching. She makes learning fun and engaging while building a strong foundation. Her small batches ensure individual care. My son loves her dearly and enjoyed going there. Her summer camp was a hit too, keeping the kids busy with fun science activities alongside English and math.”
“Miss Ramya is a very dedicated teacher. She works with little ones in small batches. My almost 4-year-old is learning his alphabet in a fun, positive environment. Initially, I wasn’t sure if he was ready for a classroom setting because he is a very playful boy, but Miss Ramya teaches in such a way that he is always excited to go to her class. Thank you so much.”
“The best decision we made as parents for our little one was enrolling them in this school. Ramya is a caring and devoted teacher. I highly recommend this school.”
“Thank you Ramya for making this summer so much fun for the kids! They learned and had fun at the same time. He looked forward to going to your school every single day and loves you so much. Shwetabh and I, and also Kiaan's grandparents, appreciate every ounce of effort that you put into his classes. You are amazing!”
“Thank you Ramya for the amazing summer classes. Keesha had fun and learned so much. Your classes were engaging and really made learning fun for her. Thanks.”
“Thank you so much Ramya for an amazing summer! You did a fabulous job engaging and teaching the kids—they had so much fun! The kids will definitely miss this and look forward to it every summer. Thanks again for all your hard work, enthusiasm, and for making the summer memorable for the kids!”
