नमस्ते ! Namaste ! Bonjour ! Hello ! My name is Rijendra Shrestha, I live in Kathmandu and I speak French, English, Newari and Hindi. I am a Nepali and French language teacher, translator and author of French grammar books. I have a deep interest in other cultures and how people learn new languages. During my four years in France, I met people from different countries who were interested in Nepal. Thanks to them, I learned many things, of which I was not aware about my own country and culture. Thank you for reading my profile. धन्यवाद ! Dhanyabaad ! Merci ! Thank you !

Me as a Teacher
I am sure that you already know few words in Nepali, "namaste", "yoga", "Himalaya", "stupa", "yak"... Helping my students to learn Nepali is my main motivation. I have been teaching Nepali for 7 years and French for 12 years. I am a certified teacher with a master degree in teaching French as a foreign language. I am very patient with my students and believe that everyone learns at different pace. All my teaching methods suit my students' needs. Being once a student of French and English languages, I know what difficulties and challenges one faces while learning a new language.
My lessons & teaching style
I teach in a friendly atmosphere during our one-to-one lessons. I use diverse tools to make the lessons interactive and entertaining, such as famous Nepali songs lyrics, restaurant menus, pictures from the daily life in Kathmandu, interactive online vocabulary exercises. If you are a beginner, you will be learning how to greet in Nepali, introduce yourself, ask basic questions, talk about your family, useful sentences for shopping... In a few lessons, you will also learn to make simple sentences using basic structures of Nepali and Nepali alphabets. If you want to learn Nepali for a specific purpose, we can plan the lessons together to meet your goal. Hope to see you soon in class !

Rijendra had prepared some materials prior to the lesson which I feel were very interactive and suitable to my style of learning. There were visuals involved like pictures and typing out words, explaining certain pronunciations, and giving me a chance to try. He was very encouraging and patient, while he is also easy to understand while speaking.

With Rijendra class, there is always something new and more to learn about Nepali language. His ability to pick on the words and train me towards perfection was key in my learning curve.
I could see myself picking it up quickly, boasting my knowledge, and not to mention reaffirming my understanding of the language proper.

Rijendra ji has always been helpful and constructive in enhancing my learning experience of Nepali.
Whenever I am in the lesson, I would take away new words and sentences structure along. My Nepali speaking has become natural and fluent, all thanks to him.

Rijendra really is an excellent teacher. His years of experience have greatly benefited him as his teaching style is refined yet adaptable. He is friendly, helpful and passionate about his work and YOUR language journey. Rijendra’s English is impeccable and makes for a smooth learning experience and you might even pick up some French along the way as well! :) To top off everything his prices are very reasonable and affordable. Ultimately, I cannot recommend Rijendra enough to any level of Nepali speakers. Dhanyabaad Guruji!

Rijendra is a teacher well organized, knowledgeable, and professional. I've just had a great conversation with him today about how to describe in Nepali your own daily activities ; he is great at giving corrections and encouragement. Looking forward to our next chat!
