I hold a Master's degree and Bachelor's degree in Science from the University of Mumbai, India, completed in 1999. I have also earned my pre-primary teacher's training one year diploma from the National Academy in India. My educational background has equipped me with a strong foundation in teaching, allowing me to create structured and engaging lessons tailored to each student's needs.
What makes my Hindi lessons unique?
In my classes, you will learn, practice, speak, and master Hindi through a variety of interactive and immersive activities designed to help you communicate like a native speaker. My teaching style is student-centered, focusing on making language acquisition fun, engaging, and relevant to your everyday life. Here’s how we’ll achieve that:
- Conversational Hindi: We'll start with the basics—how to greet, start, and end conversations in Hindi. You'll learn daily useful phrases and sentences, contextual Hindi for various situations such as travel, work, restaurants, and more. My goal is to help you become proficient in everyday conversations, whether you're speaking to your partner's family, navigating a new city, or engaging with friends.
- Building Vocabulary: Each class will introduce you to new words, helping you expand your vocabulary step by step. We'll use a combination of audio clips, pictorial vocabulary, and real-life contexts to reinforce your learning. This approach ensures that you can not only understand but also actively use the words in conversation.
- Hindi Alphabets: For those interested in reading and writing, we’ll dive into the Devanagari script. You’ll learn vowels, consonants, and matras, gradually progressing from forming simple words to reading and writing complete sentences. This structured approach will give you a strong foundation in written Hindi.
- Hindi Grammar: Grammar is essential for fluency and accuracy. We’ll cover key topics such as sentence structure, nouns and pronouns, verbs and tenses, adjectives and adverbs, and more. Through practical exercises and examples, you'll strengthen your grammatical foundation, enabling you to construct accurate and meaningful sentences.
- Cultural Immersion: Learning a language is also about understanding the culture. I incorporate elements of Indian culture, customs, and traditions into my lessons. Whether it's discussing Indian festivals, food, clothing, or social norms, these cultural insights will enrich your learning experience and deepen your connection to the language.
- Tailored Learning: I believe that every student is unique, so I offer personalized lessons that cater to your specific needs and interests. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to build on existing skills, I’ll create a learning plan that fits your goals, schedule, and pace.
Through these well-structured and tailored classes, you’ll gain confidence, fluency, and a deep appreciation for the Hindi language. Join me to explore the richness of Hindi and achieve your language learning goals in an engaging and supportive environment!

Earlier in 2024, I served as an online Hindi tutor with the Global Language Network (GLN), completing 12 hours of in-class volunteer time and numerous hours outside of class preparing lesson plans and activities. My commitment to promoting language learning and cultural exchange positively impacted my students and the broader GLN community.

Reviews from Another Lesson Platform
My 8yr old took his 1st hindi lesson with Prajakta. And she is pretty good with kids and teaching online. My son words were she is fun to learn with. We are definitely taking more sessions with her on our journey to learn Hindi
Prajakta has been teaching Hindi to my 12-year-old son, and her impact has been remarkable. Previously, he couldn’t speak a word of Hindi, but now he can construct basic sentences confidently. Prajakta is an excellent instructor, flexible with scheduling, and adept at engaging her students. She maintains a perfect pace that ensures effective learning while making the lessons enjoyable. I definitely recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled and personable Hindi teacher.
I have been a student of Prajakta’s for four months. Her teaching style is layered beautifully. Also, she is great with instilling confidence! That means the world to me, personally. Thank you, Prajakta!
Prajakta R. is an exceptional English teacher. Her vibrant energy, passion, and unique teaching style make her classes engaging and interactive. Provide individual attention, tailor her teaching methods to different learning styles, and inspire confidence in her students.
Hindi can be a tough language especially if English is your native language. So far, Prajakta has made me feel comfortable learning the language while teaching Hindi in a way is easier to understand. She has also taken the time to understand my own interests and needs within the language. I'm very excited to continue the classes with her.
To start I’m very much a beginner in speaking Hindi. After each lesson enjoyed to learn Hindi phrases, and vocabulary. Good instructor!
Prajakta is a very good tutor, it is easy to stop and ask questions. She always wants to make sure that you understand everything. I recommend to take some lessons with her on Hindi.
I recently had the pleasure of taking online Hindi lessons with Prajakta, and I must say that my experience has been nothing short of fantastic. Prajakta is a wonderful teacher who has not only made learning Hindi an enjoyable experience but has also tailored her teaching methods to suit my needs. One of the standout features of Prajakta's teaching style is her effective use of a whiteboard to help convey Hindi words in phonetic English. This visual aid has significantly enhanced my understanding of pronunciation and made it easier for me to grasp the intricacies of the language. It's a simple yet powerful tool that has proven invaluable in my language learning journey. What sets Prajakta apart is not just her teaching methods but also her remarkable patience and kindness. In the three lessons I've had with her, she has been incredibly understanding, providing support and encouragement every step of the way. Her approach creates a positive and comfortable learning environment, making it easy for me to ask questions and seek clarification without hesitation. Overall, I highly recommend Prajakta as an online Hindi teacher. Her teaching methods, combined with her patience and kindness, make the learning process enjoyable and effective. Whether you are a beginner or looking to improve your Hindi skills, Prajakta is the ideal guide on your language learning journey.
Prajakta is the kind of teacher we all need. She knew we had a 30 minute lesson and she wanted to take full advantage of the time. I was overly excited and I love to small talk, but Prajakta was there to keep me on task. I know I’m going to learn quickly as her student.
Prajakta is a great teacher. She is ready to help you learn Hindi and I am excited to learn more with her. Thank you
👍🏼
Prajakta is such a great instructor! She customizes the lessons to suit your needs and packs so much into her lessons. It’s so nice to have accountability too as I would never have put in so much to learn from videos online where I’m not getting direct feedback. So worth the $. I’m excited to see how I improve.
I'm a complete beginner really enjoy the lessons so far!
Prajakta is very organized and patient which makes Hindi learning a great experience.
Prajakta is such an amazing teacher!! She's so patient, nice and kind.Even though i took only one class so far, she's one of my favorite teachers! In my first class i learned a lot! धन्यवाद!
Prajakta is a really effective and skilled teacher!! she was able to instantly gauge my proficiency, Hindi level and tailor the class to both my skills and goals. I feel lucky I get her one on one. I highly recommend her.
Finished my first lesson today and learned a lot already! I already knew some basic hindi and Prajakta did a good job assessing my current knowledge and we practiced together. Looking forward to my next lesson with her!
I have enjoyed my lessons so far! Ms Prajakta does a great job ensuring pronunciation and grammar is correct while you are learning. My goal is to become conversationally fluent in Hindi and she is confident she will be able to help me get there.
Prajakta is teaching me Hindi so that I can converse with my husband’s family better. Prajakta is very patient and encouraging. She could tell I was nervous about saying things incorrectly and she reassured me it was ok if I got it wrong, but to keep trying. I’m excited to keep learning more from her!
Prajakta is a great teacher! She is very patient and encouraging. She could tell I was nervous about getting things wrong and she encouraged me to try, reminding me that this was the time to get it wrong so that she could help me. She makes the most of all our lessons, makes sure I understand and asks me questions about previous lessons to keep up my practice. I have really enjoyed meeting with and learning from her every week!
I just had my first lesson with Prajakta for Hindi. She is kind and approachable and we focused on speaking, vocab, and grammar. I am looking forward to my next lesson.
I just had my first lesson with Prajakta and she is very personable and easy to work with. She didn't waste time and went into vocabulary, conversation, and sentence structure. I am looking forward to my next lesson.
Well structured class with practice speaking/pronouncing new phrases
I have been taking Prajakta's hindi classes for 1.25 years now to be able to speak hindi with my friends, coworkers, boyfriend and his family. Prajakta is always flexible with my ever-changing work schedule and she is encouraging when I am feeling a bit frustrated with my progress . Classes are always relevant to where I am in life and we discuss topics based on my day to day activities and what I am curious to learn about. You can expect Prajakta to be patient and reiterate over subjects and topics that haven't clicked yet. I am always looking forward to my classes each week and they are some of my favorite weekly moment.I cannot recommend Prajakta enough, I look forward to many more lessons this year.
It's been a month since I joined ******.and how I want to thank you Prajakta mam for becoming my English mam.with their help now I can speak English very well.
Prajakta is a patient and excellent teacher.
Haven’t taken a language class in years- easy to follow and fun.
I have been taking Hindi lessons with Prajakta for over 2 years now to be able to speak Hindi with my husband's family. I am not Indian and did not speak any Hindi prior to the lessons, but after Prajakta's lessons I was able to hold conversations with his family while visiting them in India and they were extremely impressed! Prajakta's lessons are tailored to the student's goals, and she has been able to teach me using the English alphabet since I preferred to focus on conversational Hindi rather than scripture and writing/reading. She comes up with creative, interesting topics each session to be able to teach new vocabulary. She is also excellent at explaining grammar so that I can better understand the concepts to be able to build and understand sentences on my own. There is also speaking practice each class. I thoroughly enjoy my lessons with Prajakta - she makes learning Hindi fun and interesting, and most importantly, it works!
First lecture was very nice and I like it.🥰
Daughter is taking Hindi classes with Prajakta. Very accessible, flexible and patient style of teaching. Would recommend.
Prajakta is a very patient teacher especially for those who are foreign to the language. While my experience with her is very early, I am excited to learn from her future lessons.
She understood my level and teaching me in a way so that I will learn and do my homework eagerly to improve in learning Hindi.
I started taking lessons two years ago to learn Hindi. Prajakta is very patient, understanding and an excellent teacher. I recently traveled to Delhi after 3 yrs due to the border closures and felt much more relaxed and confident in speaking everyday Hindi. I was able to communicate easily with my mother in law, which made a tremendous difference in our relationship. I went shopping on my own to local stores and easily was able to communicate what I was looking for , what I needed. I study a lot and show up for my lessons prepared and so does Prajakta! I highly recommend her!
Prajakta makes learning Hindi very easy. She breaks down the language into bite-size lessons which mix vocabulary, grammar, and conversational phrases. Prajakta also takes time to learn about her students so as to teach them useful/relevant information for their own lives. In just over 60 classes with Prajakta, my Hindi has advanced immensely. I highly recommend Prajakta as a Hindi teacher!
I have been a student of Prajakta’s for almost 1 year and am extremely happy with my progress. My brain is working faster to use words and grammar structures in the correct order thanks to her teaching method and most importantly her drills. I am at the point where I can confidently hold basic verbal conversations with my husband’s family and friends. Prajakta is very encouraging, passionate and dedicated to her students. She creates a friendly, relaxing atmosphere and customizes the lessons according to your skill level and objectives. During the lessons she explains, corrects and encourages me tirelessly…all with a smile on her face. :) I could not recommend Prajakta more highly! Prajakta - you are a very special talent and I look forward to keeping the connection with you!
Prajakta is an excellent teacher. I wanted to take Hindi lessons as a first generation Indian American for a very long time so I can speak with my elder family/cousins in India. She is teaching me with discipline and excellence and I am very grateful to have found such a great teacher.
Prajakta ma’am is a through and efficient Hindi teacher. I am an adult learner and I am learning Hindi at a very quick pace from her lessons. She goes over anything you struggle with until you understand the concept. She is very easy going and a very good teacher. If you want to learn to read, write and speak Hindi she is the best choice.
I'm a beginner with no history of hindi and Prajakta has worked with me to tailor the classes to meet my needs. My expectations were to be somewhat conversant and to pick up on basic conversations. I'm about 1/2 way through my beginner class series and am excited to see the progress I am making. Looking forward to the second half. Prajakta has been patient and flexible. And she doesn't over correct my bad accent which i know I must have.
Awesome! I am impressed. It was my son's first class and she was very helpful. I like the way she focussed on my need and appreciate her teaching methodology.Definitely recommend .
An excellent teacher!!! My daughter is taking lessons from her for the past 5 years. She is very patient and very much understanding . She teaches many topics ( grammar, vocabulary,etc)in such a way the students never gets bored .I like the way she revises the topic after some days.I am so glad that I found the correct instructor at the correct time.
I’m so glad I chose Prajakta as my instructor. Even after just 5 classes, I am grasping the basics of Hindi which seemed impossible when I first started. She’s very patient with me and eager to answer all of the questions I have. I cannot recommend her enough!
She is an amazing teacher! She has been teaching my 8yr old son for the last 6 months. My son has started speaking, reading and writing Hindi. He knows all the alphabets and sounds and is learning to write sentences. She has been so patient and teaches with a lot of love and passion. Heartfelt thank you. I can only imagine the progress we will make in the coming 6 months! Thank you again!
I am so appreciative of Ms. Prajakta for being so on the ball w/ my son in learning the language. She takes feedback, gives feedback, and takes a genuine interest in the child, his environment and the requirements for being her student. It could be as easy as letting him continue the classes, without an end result in sight, but she cares enough
I have now had 5 lessons with Prajakta and she has taught me very usable Hindi in which I can have a basic conversation with my partner and our friends. She is patient and is very helpful in correcting my pronunciation. I am starting to understand and recognize words in conversations .
My experience went very good she covered all the basic basis learned a lot for a beginner especially all the pronunciations and being patient as well which is a must as well definitely would recommend her again
Was very understanding and made things easier to understand.
We are having a great experience with Prajakta. She has an interesting way of teaching which keeps our 7 year old engaged. She is learning to write and speak Hindi. We are very happy with the lessons.
I have been living in India for seven years and I decided to take classes with her over the summer. I have learned more with her then I have from living in India. She taught me a very practical usage of the language and she is very knowledgable of the grammar. I highly recommend her.
Prajakta is an excellent teacher. Her lessons are very well organized and she breaks it down to the level that make it very easy for kids to grasp. Prajakta has a lot of patience. My kids enjoy her classes. Within a few weeks of the class, we have started having conversations in Hindi at home. Prajakta is a great teacher. She is very patient, explains in detail, and her lessons are very well-organized. My daughters enjoy her classes.

Prajakta is a wonderful Teacher, very kind and patient, My daughter loves her class.
Even in an online setting, the format of the class is very nice and fits the individual’s learning needs. I have been speaking Hindi at home since I was young but I wanted to work on my grammar, writing, and reading. Once I reached out, Ms. Prajakta has been very helpful.
Prajakta is a very good and patient teacher.
I am keen to learn conversational Hindi so that I can understand and communicate with my partner's family. I thoroughly enjoyed my first class with Prajakta; she was extremely patient and moved at a comfortable pace. Her pleasant demeanor and sense of humor made me feel very comfortable at the outset. Highly recommend!

Prajakta is a great and very patient teacher. She works with me to make a lesson plan that is beneficial for me, and is very clear in explaining the grammar concepts in each lesson. I appreciate her time and diligence, I am making great progress towards my goals!
Today my 8yr old son had his first hindi class with Ms. Prajakta! She was so patient and moved at his pace. She took her time to explain each word and waited for him to get the hang of it. Thank you very much, we look forward to speaking, reading & writing Hindi with you soon!
I've only had one lesson with Prajakta so far, but it was great! She goes at our pace and teaches you the things that are helpful to your unique situation and asks you what YOU want to learn. I'm looking forward to more lessons.
Prajakta is a very patient instructor who works at your desired pace. I’m excited for my seven year old to learn and understand everyday hindi thru her. Now she is teaching both my kids and I appreciate her flexibility as that is important especially with kids. Thank you:)
She was great to learn from and tailored my Hindi lesson to what I needed. She took the time to make sure we covered what I was looking for and that she wasn't going over something I already knew. I highly recommend.
Prajakta has had a good start with my 7 year old daughter. My daughter has picked up a basic understanding of Hindi, many day to day words and is keen on completing her homework. Prajakta is a very good teacher and is bringing good structure to the course.
Good, moves quickly and clearly.
She was great and patient with my kids 6 and 7 yrs old ! They needed detail and extra Time to follow her lead and she picked up on that instantly. Highly recommend her
She was great and patient with my kids 6 and 7 yrs old ! They needed detail and extra Time to follow her lead and she picked up on that instantly. Highly recommend her
Prajakta is a fabulous teacher. Her lessons are well-organized and have really helped me read, write and speak in Hindi. I have been taking lessons for five months and am already able to communicate fairly effectively. This is largely due to her patience, depth of knowledge and interesting lessons. I highly recommend Prajakta.
Prajakta is a very precise and concise Hindi tutor. She is punctual, thorough and detail oriented. Her method of writing out words with her students is very helpful!
My son has been taking lessons with Prajakta for few years now and we are very happy with his progress. It’s really amazing that he can speak with almost no American accent now. He’s come a long way in his understanding of hindi since he started his lessons. She has a lot more patience then a parent would:)
I wanted to learn Hindi to be able to communicate in my husband's native language with him & his family. I barely knew anything when I began lessons with Prajakta and have now grown to know a lot of daily vocabulary and grammar. Continuing my lessons to be able to have full conversations! Prajakta takes the time to make sure you are understanding what she is teaching and provides a well rounded curriculum. Definitely worth trying if you are interested in learning Hindi!
My kids ( 10 & 12 yrs old) started Hindi Lessons with Prajakta in July. My kids started with Prajakta as 100% non-hindi speakers. Our goal for them is to be able to speak conversational hindi. They have had 11 lessons so far with Prajakta and they are enjoying learning hindi. Prajakta makes the class fun and I always hear the kids laughing and giggling in their class. Prajakta has a good structure of teaching vocab and grammar and also reviews/tests them on knowledge from the last class, which makes them practice their Hindi in the week. If you are looking for a great Hindi teacher, I highly recommend Prajakta.
Prajakta is probably one of the most dynamic professors that I have had the privilege of knowing! Her ability to convey to me the Hindi language in a manner that I do not feel intimated means a great deal. As a matter of fact, her sense of humor allows me to make mistakes, recover, and have the confidence to learn more of the language. I will, no doubt, continue with my learning experience. What a pleasure!
Ms Prajakta is a nice teacher. She taught my son Hindi from the basics. He is able to speak full sentences and name things in Hindi. One suggestion for Ms Prajakta is to talk to her students for 5 mins in her first class so that they get familiar with the teacher which will make them more comfortable. Not all kids are alike and for reserved kids to start talking to the teacher in the first class is bit challenging. Thanks for the time and effort.
Prajakta is a very intelligent and knowledgeable teacher. Her class was nicely paced and I felt like I learned a lot even in the first lesson. I would definitely recommend giving her a try!
I was seeking an instructor to help me with conversational Hindi— even though my name is India, I am not fluent in Hindi (yet). Prajakta is a patient and wonderful instructor so far, I look forward to being able to talk with my husband's family soon! I would highly recommend her classes for a native English speaking looking to learn conversational Hindi.
I was looking for a tutor to help me learn conversational Hindi so that I am able to communicate with my partner's family, as they only speak Hindi. My native tongues are English and Russian and I did not speak any Hindi prior to seeking a tutor, aside from a few words retained from failed attempts at learning Hindi through Duolingo. After just four lessons with Prajakta, I am already seeing progress and am able to say basic phrases to practice with my partner. Prajakta is excellent at explaining the grammatical concepts and conjugation so that I can understand them properly to build sentences on my own rather than strictly memorizing, and is patient when I ask questions or struggle. She is also great at providing the proper phonetic pronunciation using English letters, as I mentioned I would prefer to focus my efforts on learning to speak and understand rather than read and write in Hindi. I also like that she asks me what phrases I'd like to learn as well as giving her own suggestions, so that it is more applicable to what I'd like to know how to say in conversations with my partner's family. All in all I am very impressed with Prajakta's ability to teach Hindi to beginners like myself and tailor lessons to each student's needs and preferences and would highly recommend her as a Hindi tutor!
Prajakta balances dialogue with grammar/vocabulary to create a productive learning experience. Her helpful, casual, and sincere demeanor make learning a difficult language (at least for me!) a true joy! I highly recommend Prajakta - you'll learn plenty!
I have been studying with Prajakta for 3months now once per week. My HIndi was basic words I strung together in my own way. Prajakta has been patient with me, trying to undo years of bad Hindi is not an easy task! I can now form simple sentences correctly, ask simple questions and I am enjoying all that I am learning. Her lessons are always fun and challanging for me. I dont feel embarassed if I make a mistake, she explains why my answer is incorrect until I understand it:) I look forward to one day being able to have a small converstaion in Hindi!
Ms Prajakta is a wonderful Hindi teacher - my son has a renewed interest and in just a few weeks able to converse and understand - thank you
I have been taking classes with Prajakta for one month and after that time I have already learned a lot. She is knowledgeable and kind, yet firm in just the right sort of way that one feels motivated and inspired to continue. Thank you for helping me reach my goal of speaking and understanding Hindi.
She is very good with the kids and a good teacher.
Prajakta is a wonderful teacher. She is patient and explains concepts really well. I appreciate her systematic approach to building knowledge and skills. Plus, we can have fun while learning. I look forward to my sessions.
I enjoyed my lessons with Prajakta. She is very straight forward and organized. She has a structured way of teaching that makes if easier and fun.
This week marks 6 months since I have been studying Hindi with Ms. Prajakta. The progress I have made during this time is due to her incredible teaching skills, patience and attention to detail. She maintains her enthusiasm throughout the class and I am never bored or tired. Thank you Prajakta, you have opened a new world for me.!
I think Prajakta is great. She understood what I’m looking for. She’s very professional and pleasant to work with. She has created lesson plan based on what I’m looking for. Already learnt so much in first class. Looking forward for more classes with her. Also signed up my daughter.
Prajakta has been wonderful in my process of learning Hindi. I had some previous vocabulary knowledge, but was unable to form sentences and have a basic conversation. She has been welcoming of my blunders and politely corrects me and explains why I have it incorrect. I have had four lessons which are well planned and meaningful. I will definitely sign up for another group of sessions.
Been trying to learn Hindi for years. After 1 lesson I know I made the right choice. She is very knowledgeable and helpful, also builds motivation!
Prajakta was helping my daughter learning Hindi at her pace and created interest, encouragement in learning Hindi
Learned so much in my first lesson! Feeling confident I will be learning a lot from Prajakta.
Prajakta is an excellent and dedicated teacher. She is both open to questions and has a lesson plan to offer - it makes working with her easy and very enjoyable.
Prajakta was incredibly helpful from class #1. I took three full pages of notes in just 45 minutes! She helped coach me through pronunciation and shared useful vocabulary. I would highly recommend her!
Very helpful teaching myself and my 5 year old daughter. Should help us greatly when we travel to India later this year!
She is very patient, thorough, and knows how to work with a student to relate to them. From the first lesson I felt like I know her. She worked with me through pronunciation, spelling, and taught me in a way that’s specific to my learning method so that I can retain the information in the best way possible. She is very sweet and understanding, one of the best language teachers I have encountered in my life!
She is very good at hindi and is willing to tailor learning experience to the student
Prajakta is a very good teacher. She knows the subject extremely well and generously offers her knowledge. She has been very flexible with me and is exploring w me how best to learn so I can get what I most need out of our time together. It has been a real gift to myself to study with her.
Just had my first lesson and the pace and amount we covered was perfect!
My daughter loves her Hindi lessons! She is a great teacher!
Prajakta is a wonderful teacher, very patient and adjust the lesson to your specific needs!
I have been studying Hindi with Prajakta for less than 2 months and I have already learned a huge amount. She is a very effective teacher. As a retired professor, I especially appreciate the organization of her classes, the knowledge she brings to the table, the perfect mix of repetition, reinforcement and novelty in every class, and the way she maintains my interest (and her enthusiasm) during a whole hour. Thank you!
I took my first lesson with Prajakta and it was awesome! She is very thorough easy to understand and has a lot of patience to work with the older student. Helps you to understand a day-to-day conversation and not just throw words at you. Look forward to my next lesson
Prajakta is very good at starting with the basic with my children. She is concerned if they are understanding and having a good time (which is difficult to do with a 5 & 6 year old). We will definitely be continuing with Prajakta throughout our Hindi speaking journey!
My 6 year daughter had her first Hindi lesson with Ms. Prajakta today. She loved it. She is new to Hindi but eager to learn. Ms. Prajakta was extremely patient with her and gave her the time she needed to work. Pace was good and my daughter really enjoyed it. Look forward to future lessons.
I had my first lesson with Prajakta and I am very happy. After one hour I know three vowels and can put together several elementary sentences. Thanks, Prajakta!
Very thorough and flexible in teaching methods. Highly recommend.
I'm happy with my lessons. Speaking with Prajakta online helped me gain confidence, she taught me how to relax, learn to speak, read and write Hindi. Thank you very much
Wonderful first lesson. Highly recommend and listens to needs. Warm and patient! Can’t wait for my next one!
Prajakta is a great teacher! I wanted to learn conversational Hindi and the very first class, we jumped into phrases that I can use every day. She's incredibly adaptive to my needs and customizes each class to what I'm hoping to learn.
We had our first class with Ms. Prajakta and I liked the way she is trying to teach the language to my seven year old. We look forward to a great learning experience for my daughter.
Great class Teacher Prajakta it’s very experience and makes the class so easy to understand but also eficiente
Very knowledgeable.
This is my first day....so far so good! My boyfriend is Indian so it was fun to say some sentences to him in his first language :)
Prajakya is an amazing patient teacher helping me learn hindi as a english only speaking white boy she has been incredible. She is very flexible with your schedule but in a short time I have learned so much all thanks to her! Do not hesitate to have her as a teacher! AMAZING!
I had my first online hindi lesson today. Prajakta helped me to relax and enjoy the lesson. She is an excellent teacher and I would highly recommend her. I look forward to my next lesson.
I have now completed 10 courses and am feeling more confident with this language. Through lessons with Prajakta, I am now able to better understand Hindi. She covers a lot of material within each session to ensure you get the most out of her classes! These past 10 weeks have been such a great learning experience for me and am looking forward to additional classes.
Prajakta is a very gifted teacher that is driven to teach Hindi the correct way. I am lucky to have come across her and would happily recommend her to my colleagues. Anyone interested in learning Hindi, regardless of skill level should consider Prajakta as a teacher.
Prajakta is a great teacher! My son has been taking Hindi lessons once a week for the last 1 year with her. Over the last year we have seem him understand pieces of our conversation and ask questions about the words he didn't understand. This is a huge step forward for him, because earlier he didn't seem interested in Hindi at all.
Prajakta is a great teacher. My 8yr old son loves his Hindi class and is making progress.
Just finished our first lesson and I found it very helpful to have someone give guidance on pronunciation. The lesson was casual and focused on real questions you may ask or respond to in real life. I enjoyed the time and the hour flew by.
I have spent a couple years trying to tackle Hindi. A language that I thought was “impossible” to learn if it wasn’t your native tongue. However, 13 classes with Prajakta and I’m starting to do more than just grasp the language. I have never had such a good experience with a class. She makes things easy to understand, really helps you gain the confidence to speak another language. I will continue to go to Prajakta as long as she will let me. I have gained more confidence to speak to my future in-laws in Hindi as well as watch more movies with less subtitles. If this is a language you are looking to learn, she is somebody you should let teach you. Because you will make strides in no time.
Nice first lesson
Prajakta is exactly the teacher I was looking for my Mom to start her journey in learning english.She developed the right strategy to create a unique approach per students needs and delivered the lessons patiently
I had my last 15th class with Prajakta-ji today and feeling sad that I have to take a break. I will really miss our classes. Not only she gave me a lot of grammar and talking practice, (much more than I hoped to get), but also her warm and motherly personality, very patient and strict too. She doesn't waste a single minute in a class for chit-chatting, she goes straight to the subject and doesn't let you get away even with slight mistakes. She will correct every single one and keep repeating the grammar rules for you until you get it. I am very happy that I was able to learn so much and very grateful to Prajakta that she was able to break my barrier to speak. Of course, one cannot learn the whole language in 15 lessons, but she covered a lot. I am hoping and intending to take more classes with Prajacta in the nearest future. And definitely, I will highly recommend her as a Hindi teacher. It is great to have a personal tutor and Prajacta is a very professional one. She herself is always well prepared and one can tell she enjoys her job. It makes her happy to see that her student is making good progress. Thank you Prajakta-ji for your efforts, patience, and love. See you soon! Zahira W.
As an adult trying to learn Hindi, Prajakta is very patient with me. She also is very willing to work with my schedule which is great. Looking forward to my continued lessons with her!
Prajakta helped me make a smooth transition to learning Hindi, especially as a beginner! I feel like we made progress even in the first lesson, and I look forward to more!
Prajakta is an amazing instructor! I’m used to learning languages in a classroom setting but I have come to really enjoy a personal instructor format. The lessons move at a pace that is both comfortable and challenging for me to engage in learning. She cares for her students and has a depth of understanding to impart. Highly recommend!
Prajakta is a great teacher, and I am very happy with my decision to take Hindi lessons from her. I would definitely recommend for adults trying to learn Hindi 10/10.
Prajakta was very friendly and explained everything well. Teaching style is easy to follow and will help me reach my language learning goals!
My 7-year-old daughter, adopted from India one year ago, seemed to have lost most of her Hindi, so I hired Prajakta to help her regain her native tongue. After only three lessons, she is speaking complete sentences again! It warms my heart! Prajakta is encouraging and patient.
Excellent. We have more lessons planned but first lesson went good. She is very patient with me.
Caring and thoughtful, was able to see where I am at as a student in terms of personal learning level and skill. Good pace for me to learn. Balance of challenge and ease.
Prajakta is a patient thorough and committed teacher - my Hindi speaking has improved just 5 lessons
My second class was also very good, I've learned a lot of grammar and was able to make sentences based on the new vocabulary and grammar. I feel like I am making good progress and it inspires me to move on with the classes. Thank you Prajakta for your patience.
Ms.Prajakta is very patient and kind with my son. She explains things in a manner that is easy to understand and encourages him to put his effort in reading and writing. His English has improved in his school report card grades at a faster pace.
I just had my first class with Prajakta. She is a good, paitient teacher. She adjusted quickly to my level of learning and made me feel comfortable. I am looking forward for the next class.
We have had 6 classes so far and my daughter is reading fluently. She is still working on speaking but has much more confidence and conversing now. Prajakta is very patient and she will cater according to your needs. I'm very happy with my experience.
I have learned so much in just a handful of lessons! Ms. Prajakta is so patient. She is great at answering questions and clearing up pronounciation issues. I usually feel very self conscious speaking in a foreign language in front of others but I don’t feel that way with her. I am working to become fluent in Hindi since my fiancé and I live in India. I feel like I will finally be able to make that happen with Ms. Prajakta’s help!! Highly recommend!
Prajakta understood and- identified the areas to focus on to have a deeper understanding of the language It was a great lesson
A M A Z I N G. In one hour, I learned more than I had in a year. At first I was nervous about trying and even more nervous about how I sound trying to speak Hindi. Prajakta, took all the fear away and made it all about the learning. I cannot wait for my next class.
I have been taking lessons with Prajakta for 6 months, and I have been very pleased with her teaching! She is very patient, flexible, covers a broad range of topics, and provides thorough explanations for all of her subject material. I have been learning along with my children and we have been extremely pleased with her! I have recommended her to many friends who are interested in learning Hindi.
Prajakta Ji is a very nice, prepared, thorough and patient educator! I loved my first lesson with her today. We worked on a variety of skills, from letters and numbers, to grammar, speech, poetry, and even writing. She has also sent me addition material to look at until our next lesson. I am very glad to have chosen her as my Hindi Teacher!
She is excellent.In spite we moved to India from USA, we are still continuing with her because of her clarity in communication. Thanks to ****** to make this happen.
Prajakta is flexible and patient - she meets each child exactly where they are and teaches them in a systemic and enjoyable way! I highly recommend her!
Prajakta is a very experienced and dedicated teacher. She caters her lesson plans based on my son's knowledge but also on our need, which consists of improving his speaking ability and expand his vocabulary. My son has made good progress in that respect and we are very grateful for it. He looks forward to his Hindi class. Prajakta is always prepared for class and very reliable. She is also flexible in terms of accommodating my son's busy schedule. A wonderful experience overall.
I like to learn english with prajakta mam. She is very sweet and kind. I was very nervous in the first time, however , I feel very good and comfortable now . Although, I can speak English much better now , I won’t stop studying until I will speak very well.
She’s super nice, and very patient with me. We started off very simple and it felt like itll be good pace for me. Im excited to keep working with her
I just started with Prajakta but I can already tell that I made the right choice choosing ******.
Have been taking Hindi lessons with Prajakta for several months now and have nothing but positive things to say: -she comes to class with activities planned -she is accommodating when I have to reschedule class -she is SUPER patient when I am struggling with a new concept -she is very encouraging
Thanks I enjoyed the lessons and they helped me to prepare for my future trip!
I have been taking lessons with Prajakta for more than 1 year: we have progressed significantly and I am close to fluent now! I highly recommend Prajakta as your Hindi instructor!
Hindi is my mother tongue. but I was having a hard time teaching the language to my daughter. Failure to find in-home teacher in Washington DC, I turned to ****** and found Prajakta. She is extremely knowledgeable and engaging. She helped tremendously in developing interest of the subject to an extend that my daughter actually enjoys it. I am thankful to have Prajakta as her teacher and looking forward to a time when she can communicate with her grandparents without my help.
Prajakta is a wonderful teacher and I highly recommend her. Her teaching style is very clear and she is incredibly patient. On top of that, she is very friendly and easy to talk to. Her lessons go by quickly and her enjoyable personality makes learning Hindi fun. I have learned a lot from Prajakta so far and look forward to learning more in the future!
Prajakta was amazing. She was thorough, efficient, and helpful. She guided the lesson expertly and I felt very comfortable asking questions. I would highly recommend her services because she seems much more experienced at teaching than others on this site.
I am very happy with my Hindi lessons thus far. I am only two lessons in and Prajakta has been excellent. She gets right to the lesson and is very productive. I highly recommend her!
Please be advised of the following: Prajakta is an incredible Hindi instructor! I was rather apprehensive of not only taking the Hindi language but furthermore, I questioned my ability to grasp the fundamentals of the alphabet and the.structure of the sentences! Prajakta put my uneasiness at rest by using a method of ying and yang! For example, “Good, your pronounciation was very good!” “Beverly, why do we use the feminine ending? “ Well, not quite!” “Think about it!” I love that kind of teaching. Prajakta engages in my journey of learning and that denotes a good teacher. Thank You!
She is amazing!
Prajakta is a patient, flexible teacher and she works with the parent to address the needs of the student. My son has already learned lot of hindi and is now speaking it better. He will continue to work with her and we look forward to hus hindi skills improving greatly.
I registered recently and had my first lesson today. Prajakta is very clear with her Teaching and open to clearing doubts. Looking forward to more lessons.
Prajakta was punctual, engaging, and tailored the lesson to my experience level. I'm really excited to continue lessons with her!
Prajakta is an excellent teacher. She is extremely patient and thorough, and does a very good job explaining different concepts. I have learned and continue to learn a great deal from lessons with her, and my Hindi is progressing very well.
Fantastic teacher. She explains everything thoroughly and has customized the lessons for my goals. I have taken Hindi lessons before, but I finally feel like I'm getting a proper grasp of it. Highly recommend her!
I've been taking lessons with Prajakta for many months now. She is a really great teacher with a good sense of humor. I am learning a ton and she is willing to reschedule when my schedule gets busy. I highly recommend her as a hindi teacher!
My son really enjoyed his lessons and is looking forward to his next session. Prajakta, eased him into the lessons and is really excited!
Nice teacher - organized and very responsive to parents also. My daughter enjoyed her first lesson
She is very good and my son is enjoying the lessons - always prepared and clear plans for study. I think he is progressing very well
Prajakta did a great job in getting my son started on learning Hindi! He loved the lesson and is looking forward to more
I started lessons with Prajakta and I am so happy. She is very clear and patient and makes lessons fun and interesting. I’m looking forward to progress with Prajakta!
My daughter loves her online Hindi classes . In 2 classes my daughter is able to speak a lot of sentences and relate to the language . We love Prajakta’s approach and her patience dealing with the kid and introducing her to a brand new language
Prajakta is a wonderful patient teacher! Began first Hindi lessons today ....cannot wait for next one! Highly recommend for adults and children. She was flexible with scheduling and contacted me right away. I am from US as beginner Hindi speaker.
My sessions with Prajaka has been wonderful. She is very patient and caring about the type of instructions I want and need for my future endeavors. I look forward to the sessions ahead.
My son loves the way she teaches and can't wait for the next class. Best teacher to learn Hindi !
After 3 months of lessons with Prajakta,I am amazed on how far she has brought me and looking forward to continue in learning the Hindi language. Prajakata is very understanding,patient and kind and she makes me feel at ease.
I was very pleased in our first session. Prajakta was very patient and kind as she introduced me to the Hindi language. I am looking forward to Prajakta teachings as we move forward.
My son loves learning Hindi from Prajakta. He is keen on continuing taking hindi lessons from her.
Prajakta is an amazing teacher and adapts to your pace and goals!
Prajakta is my Hindi teacher! I was nervous about online lessons but she is very warm and patient! The online class works very well as it’s convenient timing from your own home. The format is constant interaction, reviewing word lists or practicing typical conversation phrases and topics. Even though it was my first class I was reciting entire sentences and phrases by the end of the first hour! Prajakta Repeates each word several times so I can pick up the correct accent and is patient as i sound out words and recite them a few times. She writes words and sentences on the whiteboard for me to note down spelling. We focused on spoken Hindi and I began learning the alphabet so I can read and write. Glad I signed up and can’t wait to see how fluent I am in 3 months!
Prajakta is a kind teacher who is willing to teach to according to the student's pace. She is always prepared with worksheets, activities, and homework, and her lessons are focused, productive, and fun.
Very thoughtful, fun to work with - Nandini loved her!
I have years of experience learning foreign languages, and Prajakta has proven to be a very effective teacher of the Hindi language. She uses methods and techniques that ensures learning is effective and applicable to your life and lifestyle. Prajakta has surpassed all expectations that I had as my Hindi instructor. She is also very flexible with her schedule to accommodate the needs of my busy schedule. My goal is to converse with my boyfriend and his family members, and I have made a lot of progress after just two classes. She is a fantastic instructor!
Prajakta is very patient and adjusts her teaching style for each student!
I've been taking lessons from Prajakta for a few months now. She has continued to be patient and does her best to make each lesson interesting and fun. I've learned a ton and am excited to continue learning Hindi under her instruction.
Mrs.Prajakta is a wonderful teacher.Her flexible teaching style helped my daughter to improve vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.she is a thorough and patient teacher.she focus many concepts like paragraph reading,grammar.she recommends for additional ways to learn and practice by giving worksheet s.My daughter Dharshna loves to learn with Prajakta Ji.
My 11 year old daughter has been learning Hindi from Prajakta the last 3 months. Prajakta is a very experienced teacher, very punctual, dedicated, organized and makes the classes interactive and fun. My daughter very much enjoys these classes. We initially took a 10 lesson package and just renewed the lessons now. I I would highly recommend Prajakta.
We had a less than satisfactory experience with Prajakta after taking several lessons for our son. She appeared vey rigid and inflexible in her teaching approach and not at all open to feedback. Rather than teaching young students a version of hindi that could be used in everyday context, she has a syllabus that consists of rote memorization of several lists of words several of which will be used extremely infrequently (I am a proficient hindi speaker and many of the words I would never use myself). Also, for some inexplicable reason she was very against using the ****** classroom software which made our experience very troublesome. Seems like she does not have her hardware setup for providing lessons figured out. Our son takes lessons from few other TL teachers and never had any problems with the TL software - however, for every lesson with Prajakta we had to scramble to find alternative such as Skype, FaceTime etc leading to chaos. When sometimes there were technical issues due to the scrambling she was less than cooperative. All in all, of all the TL lessons our son is taking, this was the least favorable experience because of which we discontinued the lessons.
my name is khyia will you help me to say in hindi on satrday
My daughter had her first lesson. She very much liked it.
She is very good teacher. Covers all topics. She teachers both grammar as well as conversation in Hindi.
Prajakta teaches my 11 year old son. He is new to Hindi , yet enjoys her class. She indeed is a good teacher. She is very patient and this makes it easy for anyone to learn.
Prajakta teaches my two children (ages 11 and 6) and is wonderful with both. She meets the children where they are for each lesson, teaches at each level perfectly with patience and joy and then sends them off with appropriate practice. After each lesson, she sends helpful practice charts, videos and worksheets making learning a new language fun and easy!
I completed my first lesson and feel this instructor taught in a clear way with an organized approach. She was very patient with me and supplemental material she provided for our session was a good resource. I am looking forward to our next learning sessions!
Always on time and efficient in teaching, Prajakta never wastes a single moment. Both of my kids enjoy her teaching style - direct without being too strict.
I've been taking Hindi lessons from Prajakta for a few months now. She tailors lessons to fit my learning style and is incredibly patient. She is also very kind and easy to talk to. I couldn't be happier.
The class is very detailed oriented. I had my first class for alphabets also its pronunciation. We had homework for practicing Hindi alphabets and there will be a test for the following class. I am looking forward to it.
Very good class. I'm looking forward to the next one.
My 6 year old son is very resistant to Learning Hindi. Prajakta did a great job of keeping him engaged. There is a bit of writing in the lessons which required me to be part of the lesson as my son doesn't write that well yet. He learned letters, numbers, words and even sentence formation.
Prajakta is absolutely the best! I am so glad I chose her to be my teacher. I had a very short amount of time to achieve an Intermediate Mid rating on the ACTFL test and with Prajakta's help I was able to achieve it. She went above and beyond to help me, and she passed on as much knowledge as she could. She developed a custom curriculum and would send me stories and worksheets to increase my vocabulary and improve my grammar. I would highly recommend choosing her as your Hindi teacher.
Good experience with Prajakta. Very professional. Sends over worksheets to look through during the week. Would recommend to anyone.
Great instructor!
Mrs.Prajakta is a very good teacher.she is teaching hindi for my 8 year old daughter .She is very patient and friendly.we speak tamil at home.so my daughter is a beginner.She teaches very good.My daughter likes her a lot.she is very happy to learn hindi. With Mrs.Prajakta.
My 9 year has been taking lessons only on weekends.And so far it's been great. She is finally understanding how different Hindi is compared to English and also trying to cover a few alphabets per week. Prajakta is patient n helps with the pronunciation and takes her time with my child to better her speech in Hindi.
Prajakta is a very proficient and organized teacher. She is methodical in her approach and her lessons are very effective. She knows how to work with young children and our son greatly enjoys his hindi lessons.
We have taken more than 10 lessons so far and most important thing about it is that our son Aadit looks forward to his lessons which is we feared most. More so because the lessons were online. Contrary to our fears he is rapidly increasing his knowledge of letters and is constantly improving his vocabulary. We have have only good things to say and recommend highly Prajakta to whoever wants to get Hindi lessons.
Prajakta is a great teacher! She came very prepared to our first lesson with charts, lesson plan etc. Additionally, she is very patient and does a good job of breaking down pronunciation and grammar concepts.
Prajakta is an amazing instructor. She sends you charts, walks you through them and helps you to pronunciate correctly along the way (in a way that YOU will understand). She makes the lessons fun and not too serious. She speaks english perfectly and therefore can apply Hindi in a context if your understanding. Best Hindi teacher ever. Highly recommend!
Lessons are very well planned and structured. I got an all round experience learning Hindi with Prajaktaji. Each class is very informative and Prajaktaji is a Fantastic teacher.Very high recommendation for everyone looking to learn Hindi.
Excellemt!
Excellent! Very patient, clear & concise teaching!
Prajakta is a wonderful teacher. She has designed a custom plan for me so I can achieve my goal in a short amount of time. I also like that assigns me plenty of homework so I can continue practicing throughout the week.
Prajakta is a great instructor and I'm enjoying my Hindi lessons with her. I had tried to learn Hindi on my own but found it difficult because it was more about memorizing phrases than really understanding the language and structure of the sentence. Having an instructor like Prajakta has been very helpful as I can ask questions and her lessons are fun with a variety of activities to help bring everything together.
After several failed attempts to get my 5 yr daughter to speak Hindi, I looked to online classes for some help and signed up for a 5 lesson session with Prajakta. Prajakta was always on time, and well-prepared with her lesson plan tailored to a 5 yr old. She also sent me coloring sheets and worksheets for writing practice so my daughter could stay interested and keep on practising. My daughter really enjoyed and looked forward to her classes. These are serious lessons that include learning to read and write Hindi as well. The only note of caution I would offer to other parents is that I felt that it would have helped the pace of the lessons if my child had been slightly older and able to write better, since you do need to write down words and sentences in both Hindi and the English translation during the lesson. All in all, I considered these sessions a good investment, because although she is still a long way from speaking comfortably in Hindi, the lessons served to kick-start her interest in learning the language. I am hoping we will be able to build on that foundation and encourage her to speak Hindi sentences more often.
Extremely fun and engaging lessons...but also very challenging! Prajakta is adaptable to my areas of concern and can quickly tell where I need more focus or less.
Classes are great - I'm learning how to write, read and speak which is great. Very thorough lessons covering a lot of diverse topics.
Prajakta approaches the lessons based on your desired level of fluency. I am interested in learning conversational Hindi first, and Prajakta has provided helpful sentences, common vocabulary, and the basics of vowels and consonants. Each lesson is varied and builds upon the last, introducing new sentences and phrases that are commonly used. She's very thorough with pronunciation and generally friendly and pleasant to learn from. Highly recommend!
Prajakta is a great instructor! I like the fact that she is tailoring my lessons to me and my skill level. I also like that she has homework assignments for me so I can keep on practicing and studying in between our lessons. She's very enjoyable to learn from and I can't wait for the next lesson!
Prajakta is the best teacher ever! She is very patient and thoughtful while she is teaching. My son has learned a lot from Prajakta and I couldn't have asked for a better teacher. Highly recommended!!!
Prajakta is not only good but a great teacher and my son has thoroughly enjoyed as well as learned a lot through the Hindi lessons with her,he not only started speaking ,reading but eventually started writing the Devnagri lipi. We were very happy with his progress in Hindi and highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn Hindi.
My boys are enjoying learning Hindi with Prajakta. She makes learning fun & very professional as well.
Prajakta is wonderful. Her teaching style makes me feel confident that I can finally learn Hindi! I've been trying it on my own with no luck. She was personable, patient, and willing to answer any questions I had. I would absolutely recommend her as a teacher.
Very patient and provides a very good mix of writing, speaking, words, poem to keep my four year old engaged.
Prajakta is very good with my son. He is slowly becoming more confident in Hindi. Most important, he loves the class and looks forward to it every week.
Prajakta is a great teacher. She engages my daughter (5 yr old) in fun Hindi lessons and my daughter looks forward to learning from her. She gives hand-writing homework to do during the week which I think is very awesome. We were not sure if online lesson would work well but so far it has been good. Definitely worth the money and time.
Prajakta has been great so far. Her lessons are very structured and she teaches you at your own pace. If you don't understand she will take the time to explain every little detail. Overall a fantastic teacher.
I have no prior experience with Hindi and was a little bit nervous to begin my lessons...but Prajakta has really been a great instructor. She is friendly and patient and it is obvious that she has a lot of experience teaching. She provides helpful handouts before each lesson and goes over them in detail. I would highly recommend Prajakta's services to others looking to learn Hindi!
Very thorough and always takes her time to make sure that her students are comprehending everything being learned!
Good lessons
Prajakta has been a great teacher. She is firm but encouraging. She tailors the teaching to your goals and desires while also encouraging the student to learn the basics. I've enjoyed the classes a lot!
I purchased a 5-lesson package with Prajakta to learn the basics of Hindi. After my 2nd lesson, I can attest to Prajakta being a great instructor. We go through lots of material during a 1-hour class. Prajakta is also flexible enough to accommodate last-minute schedule changes. I would recommend her to anyone looking to learn Hindi!
I just started taking lessons with Prajakta and so far it has been wonderful. She is very patient, flexible, and encouraging. She also has put a lot of work in providing the proper materials students need to start learning Hindi even with no prior experience. I have also asked her to share with me about Indian culture and so far she has taught me several interesting facts and cultural traditions as well as tied in hindi with hinduism and india. I'm looking forward to many more lessons!
I just finished my first lesson with Prajakta, and I look forward to many more! I shared my goals and needed clear guidance on how to get there. After our first meeting, I believe she will be a valuable teacher and guide to help me really understand the language.
Prajakta was informative and I didn't realize how much I learned in the 5 weeks until the final lesson. She is patient and would highly recommend her to anyone learning the Hindi language.
Very nice and easy to work with. Looking forward to the next class.
I really enjoy working with Prajakta. The lessons are well planned out with lots of supporting material and activities to help me study. She is patient and has been very flexible with my crazy schedule. Even my husband is impressed with the improvements I've made in the few short weeks I've worked with her. I would definitely recommend her.
I really wanted to learn conversational Hindi for speaking and understanding with friends. After my initial introduction call with Prajakta ji she had convinced me that I need to get over my fear of learning Devangari and I'm so glad she did. I've memorized the vowels and am working to memorize the consonants. She really helps to bolster Hindi vocab and stresses the importance of practice through handouts and reviewing them at the next class. Prajakta ji does a good job in trying to customize the lessons for the student's learning desires.
Prajakta has been very helpful in helping learn the basics of Hindi. She was very amenable with scheduling, was flexible with the content, and provided many hand outs for after class use.
My son likes the class very much.
I recommend selecting Prajakta ji as a Hindi tutor. She is an experienced teacher who is well-prepared for each lesson, provides written handouts and activities, is thorough and patient in her approach to teaching Hindi as a second language. She stresses the importance of the written form of the language as well as pronunciation and use within cultural context. Much appreciated!
Great first class, thank you Prajakta!
Most friendly and helpful hindi teacher, so patient while i tried to get my pronunciation correct. Couldn't have been more sweet, giving me directions to better my Hindi, also handing out charts to practice at home. definetley recommend. perfect for beginners. A+++ .
She's very patient with the kids and the kids love class with her.
Prajakta is a patient and clear teacher. Excited for the rest of my lessons!
I really like the way Prajakta teaches my 8 year old daughter she accomplishes so much in the 30 minutes with follow up home work. I was initially worried because my daughter gets very distracted and cannot even sit through a face time call with her grandparents but Prajakta has a nice way of getting her attention while keeping learning hindi fun.
Prajakta is a great teacher. I really enjoy our lessons, and learn a lot. She is flexible and accommodating in her schedule too. Highly recommended!
Prajakta is so patient and a great teacher. I went into my first lesson so nervous and she immediately calmed me and reassured me that I for sure can learn Hindi as long as I work at it.
Very flexible and focuses on the needs of the student.
Prajakta is not just a good teacher, she is a phenomenal teacher. She has an in depth knowledge of the language and teaches the language in a practical and methodical manner. I would whole heartedly recommend prajakta as a Hindi teacher for people at any skill level. She also makes the lessons fun and is respectful of people's schedules.
Prajakta has been great so far as I dive into learning the Hindi language. She responds quickly to email is more than happy to answer questions and offer further information. I look forward to working with her more!
I am excited to keep learning with Prajakta! She has plenty of materials to help you during the class and after to practice. She is very well versed in the subject and makes sure the learning pace is good for the student. Would highly recommend her!
Great Class thank you
Great instructor. Very patient and works with my crazy schedule. I am learning so much and I get to direct the speed of the course and integrate culture in my lesson. Thank you so much. I will stay with this instructor until I've mastered Hindi
My kids had a real Hindi learning experience with Ms Prajakta. Wish she didn't have to move. She has a fun method of teaching Hindi and kids picked up very fast in no time
Great lesson! She certainly tailors to the need of the students.
My first lesson went very smoothly. Prajaka was very accommodating to my needs. We were able to go over the basics (alphabet, numbers, some vocabulary) and discuss how future lessons will go.
Prajakta teaches Hindi very systematically and simply. She is very open to tailoring lessons to your specific needs.
In my English speak career, I had made many errors/ mistakes. If I had any doubts about nouns, pronouns, verbs, etc. I could ask her, she would answer my questions. she even sent material full of info on that topic to me so I could learn from it.Thank you so much prajakta.
Pajakta is a very talented teacher in the subject of Hindi. Before I had become her student, I just spoke Hindi, now after her teaching me. I have greatly improved. I definitely recommend her as a teacher to kids and adults.
Kid friendly teacher. My Daughter loves her way of teaching......
Thank you for being such a great teacher,you helped me improve my writing, Listening and reading. Your methods of teaching are innovative,interesting, and quick to learn.
Prajakta is a good teacher for adults and kids too.she explanes clearly Hindi and math too.I never seen any one before like her ,her teaching is really very enthusiastic .personally I recommend definitely you can see awesome results with in a week.kids will love her teaching.
Prajakta is a wonderful teacher. She understands the level of kids and work accordingly to make the things easy and fun to learn.
Teaching Style
As a dedicated Hindi language instructor, I teach reading, writing, and conversational Hindi to students from diverse educational and professional backgrounds. I employ a student-centered approach, tailoring lessons to meet the unique needs and goals of each learner. My teaching methodology encompasses a mix of traditional and innovative techniques to make learning engaging and effective. I help students achieve fluency and confidence in using Hindi in both personal and professional contexts. With a focus on cultural nuances and practical usage, my instruction ensures comprehensive language acquisition and a deeper appreciation of the Hindi language.
As an experienced Hindi teacher, I have spent several years honing my expertise in teaching conversational Hindi, ensuring that my students not only grasp the language but also feel confident using it in real-world situations. My approach is centered around creating an immersive learning environment where students can engage in dialogues that mirror everyday conversations. This method has proven effective in helping learners of all levels develop a natural and fluid command of Hindi, allowing them to communicate with ease in both personal and professional settings.
In addition to conversational skills, I emphasize a comprehensive understanding of Hindi vocabulary, reading, writing, and grammar. My curriculum is meticulously designed to build a strong foundation in these areas, enabling students to read and write with accuracy and confidence.
