Across India, the way English is taught is undergoing a quiet transformation. At the center of this change is Dr. Rishikesh Tewari. As the President of Angel’s International University, Tewari believes English should be more than just a school subject but a life skill.
From scholar to reformer
Tewari’s journey in education is impressive. With multiple postgraduate degrees, two PhDs, a Post-Doctoral Degree in English, an Honorary Professorship, a DLitt, he brings the spirit of lifelong learning. But for him, academic certificates are just one small part of the story.
“Degrees give knowledge. Confidence gives direction,” he often tells his students. He emphasises that personal growth and self-belief matter just as much as formal qualifications.
Tewari believes in his student-first philosophy. He has transformed classrooms and institutions into spaces where every learner thrives. At Rishi’s English Club, students also prepare for competitive exams, interviews and personality development.
Author with a purpose
Tewari is also an author. His books have become essential guides for teachers, students and exam aspirants. Some of his works like ‘A History of English Literature: From Beginner to Scholar’, ‘The Ultimate Interview Handbook’ are popular for their practical guidance.
Leadership beyond the classroom
At Angel’s International University, Tewari’s leadership is equally inspiring. Colleagues describe him as more than an administrator. He is a model for future university leaders. Under his guidance, the university has adopted global standards while staying deeply rooted in Indian learning needs.
He has received major international accolades, including the London Book of World Record, Influencer Book of World Record, Global Literary Figure Award, and a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Poetry and language
Beyond academics, Tewari expresses himself through poetry. His collection ‘My Beloved Angel’ is a tribute to a lost companion showing that language can heal as well as teach. He is fluent in English, Hindi, Bengali, French.
