Me as a Teacher
I am a very passionate teacher. My teaching philosophy is centered around creating a positive and engaging learning environment, where students feel comfortable asking questions and challenging themselves to learn new things.
I give homework assignments to the learners who are open to it. It helps them to be ready for the upcoming classes. But I understand that most working professionals are not able to afford that kind of time. I am flexible and will customize lessons to suit your needs.
My lessons & teaching style
In our lessons, we will cover essential vocabulary, grammar rules, sentence structure, and conversational skills. we will explore the beauty of the Hindi language, delve into its rich cultural context, and build practical language skills. My goal is to make learning Hindi fun, engaging, and interactive.
In our classes, whether you’re a beginner or looking to enhance your existing knowledge, I’m here to guide you on this exciting language journey. Throughout the course, I will provide you with various resources, such as handouts, videos, audio recordings, and quizzes to help you practice and enhance your skills.

Still loving classes with Vandana ji. She effortlessly walks me through grammatical concepts and patiently works through drills with me which helps cement the concept in my mind and also retain vocabulary much more easily.

Vandana is an excellent teacher with a great amount of patience. She cares about the student's progress and has helpful videos and materials. She is extremely organized and has a wealth of materials for practice and drills.
With every lesson, I am learning new concepts and expanding my appreciation of the culture. It can be difficult to find Hindi materials online. I appreciate that her materials have both the Devanagari script and the English words for reference.

Vandana is an amazing Hindi teacher. She comes prepared to all classes and teaches grammar well. I feel more confident in my sentence construction across several tenses and learn a lot of vocabulary along the way. I enjoy her interactive exercises like role playing oral questions and practice translating. This helps me apply the knowledge I learn immediately.
