Teacher’s pick
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!

Kusumika's teaching style is very friendly and professional. Her lessons are very well prepared and she created all the lesson materials herself. She is able to explain clearly some Bangla concepts for which I wasn't able to find an explanation anywhere.
