I am Sanchita Dwivedi from Lucknow, India. I am a linguaphile, storyteller, ex-journalist and teacher with 15 years of experience in Hindi & English language communication. I teach Hindi & English at all levels. I believe that learning a language is like opening the door to a new, rich cultural experience. It can’t be complete without understanding the socio-cultural contexts in which a language has grown and evolved. I am learning 4 languages currently – Turkish, French, Spanish & Mandarin. I am also a published author. My short stories & articles have been published in Hindustan Times (newspaper), TES Orbit (magazine), Spark (online magazine). I also write on my blog.
Me as a Teacher
My journey as a teacher started with my job at the Institute for Career Studies in 2020. I trained Grade 10, 11 and 12 students to prepare for university entrance tests. I mentored them, helping them improve their communication skills and learn how to give their best in group discussions & interviews. Later, in June 2022, while still working at my full-time job, I joined the Duolingo Global Ambassador community as a teacher. I took classes during my free time and hosted regular sessions for attendees from Europe and the US – receiving a solid 5-star rating. The rich cultural exchange and global exposure that I gained in these classes, prompted me to make this my permanent vocation.
My lessons & teaching style
I like partnering with my students as a friend. My sessions are conducted in an environment of open & two-way communication, keeping in view the learning pace and convenience of each student. I encourage them to ask questions – not just about grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation or other aspects of the language, but also about India – its ancient heritage, cultural wealth, rich diversity, people, topography, history, and place in the modern world. I regularly seek feedback and suggestions from students to tweak my teaching style, if required, and customize the lesson plan to best suit their needs. I use a variety of formats – storytelling, videos, presentations, etc. – to deliver my lessons.

Sanchita is an absolute gem. She's patient and willing to work with you at your level of understanding. She not only explains everything but provides examples both in English and Hindi. I loved taking her class.

This was my second class with Sanchita. She is a knowledgeable and helpful teacher and in this session we studied grammar. She went above and beyond - helping with homework and exercises outside the class time also. I would recommend Sanchita as a teacher to others!

I have been doing classes for a few months with Sanchita, I became aware of her classes on Duolingo and ever since I love her classes, we read story in devnagari varnamala, translate, she explains the meaning of unknown words, provide even synonyms (for eg if the word is in Urdu she will give the Hindi/Sanscrit equivalent), we do Culture classes, we study diologues on films or cartoons, and also study grammar which is very necessary. I had the opportunity also to write a text about my holiday or about the state of Karnataka to practice my making of sentences in Hindi as I have practiced more another Indian language for the last 2 years and have forgotten a bit of Hindi and we corrected it during the class which was super helpful. A lot of variety of practicing the language which I really enjoy with her! She is also very good at explaining grammar within a text, how to use the oblique case etc. Great classes, I highly recommend!

Simply put, Sanchita is an excellent teacher and am grateful to have her teach me Hindi. I am not only making good progress after barely 10 lessons, but am enthusiastic about the interactions and thankful for the insights that I gain from her. It is the journey that counts.

I have worked on my conversation skills by having to sum up 2 books I have recently read, applying all the grammar concepts, Sanchita also shared 2 books of her choice, then we reviewed my homework about the Conditional tense and she helped by answering all the questions I had while doing my homework and we finished by reading an article from the newspaper. I love Sanchita's classes as there are always diverse activities! Thank you so much!
