Kusumika takes personal care and meets you at where you are on your Bangla journey. She is flexible and easy to talk to. The speed of lessons might need be adjusted based on where you are on your Bangla journey, but her materials will definitely help you learn better offline as well.

Kusumika is an extremely good teacher and I am very lucky to have her as my tutor. She very frequently tailors lesson to focus on things I am struggling with. She is supportive when I make mistakes but firm that they need to be corrected. Overall a very good teacher and I have learned more in a dozen lessons with her than I did in a whole year of taking Spanish in school.

I highly recommend Kusumika as a teacher. Her classes are intensive, interactive, and dynamic. She is knowledgeable, professional and flexible. She is kind yet firm and her lessons have a good balance of grammar, speaking, listening, reading and writing. I also love her creative homework assignments. I have made great progress in the month that I have been seeing her to work on my Hindi. I look forward to our next lesson!
