i-osmosis is a part of Cactus Education, the education division of Cactus Communications Private Limited, a company in Mumbai, India, that provides high-quality English language services.
In Cactus Education, our focus is on teaching written English. Much attention has been paid to spoken English, whereas the important skill of writing well has often been neglected. Good writing is important not just for scoring well in standardized tests but also in everyday life: a working professional writes e-mails, a university student writes papers and reports, and people around the world write for personal and creative expression. The ability to communicate effectively in writing is, therefore, valuable for professional as well as personal development.
We’ve conducted thousands of online English writing courses for individuals, and we’ve also developed and tutored courses on email writing, manuscript writing, and academic writing for universities and companies.

Our teaching method
We follow a 1:1 teaching model, where each course has one student and one instructor. There are two components in our courses:
Essays and evaluations
Students write essays, and instructors evaluate those essays and provide advice in clear, simple language. The comprehensive writing instruction that we provide, which can be seen in the many sample evaluations available on this site, is difficult to impart in a traditional classroom setting. To put it simply, we teach writing through writing.
One-to-one interaction
Students and instructors interact entirely in English over an online forum. Students do not feel inhibited because the forum for each student is a strictly private space for just that student and his or her instructor. Often, this interaction is much more than questions and answers about the essays and evaluations. Our instructors, who believe in the communicative approach to language teaching, are experts in engaging each student in conversation about things that interest the student. Unfettered by the presence of others, the student and instructor interact freely with each other, establishing an almost personal connection that is hugely beneficial to the learning process.
