I am currently a full-time traveler, though I previously studied Physics and completed my graduation in 2022. Traveling has always been a part of my upbringing, leading me to adopt the lifestyle of a nomad, specifically a digital nomad. Bengali is my native language, and for the majority of my life, it has been the primary language of communication. I also like to go on high altitude treks and an amateur photographer. I also enjoy high-altitude treks and pursue photography as an amateur. I'm on a journey to explore all the countries that this beautiful planet has to offer. I have taught Math and Physics to students preparing for exams, as well as adults who simply wanted to learn. During my teaching experience, I developed a method that consistently helped them achieve their best outcomes. I coached students to tackle complex problems with ease and enjoyment. Integrating my travel experiences, I aim to immerse you in the language first, allowing you to take the lead naturally. Most sessions will be engaging and designed to bring out the best in you. Currently, I'm also learning French, which enables me to better understand the challenges you may encounter while learning Bengali and tailor my approach accordingly. My teaching style is dynamic, tailored to individual needs. I focus on engagement and interaction, using diverse resources like ebooks, videos, songs and even small quizzes. Whether preparing for exams or aiming to improve understanding or it's a business need, I e...

Sayan is an excellent teacher. In just a few short months, he has significantly improved my Bengali. He is warm, friendly, and conversations with him are natural and engaging. His lessons are well-structured, and he prepares a lot of material for each session. He also values feedback, thoughtfully incorporating it into future lessons. I genuinely look forward to our classes each week!

Another fantastic class! We reviewed some pronunciation and verbs, as well as vocabulary building and cultural topics about West Bengal.

Just had my first Bengali class with Sayan. Incredible teacher! He took the time to get to know me and my needs, as well as creating an excellent class for me. I felt supported and confident in my learning. I will definitely schedule a 2nd class soon. Thank you!

Sayan is a great teacher. Explains concepts in detail and ensures his students have understood. Focuses on your weaknesses which shows great improvement in minimal time.

I really liked Sayan's approach to teaching. First, he listened intently to my needs as a student, understood where I was struggling and developed lesson plans based on that. Most of the time I felt heard, understood, and most importantly, that there was a lot of care and patience involved. He's very passionate about Bengali and he doesn't shy away from unconventional methods of teaching or explaining things. He was also very accommodating when I needed to postpone lessons, which was an added bonus. Last thing. Learning a language isn't easy, and it takes effort to let yourself make mistakes. You fear you'll embarrass yourself, or that you're not learning well enough. But it's how you get better. And it's how you grow. Sayan made me feel comfortable and as a result, I became less self conscious. The only thing I would say is that I wish I was provided with more resources outside of class, but I suspect that will come in time.
