I've been learning Hindi for four years and started with Vivek to work specifically on speaking confidence, he's exactly right for that. Rather than just correcting me, he shows me the logic underneath, how compound verbs are actually built, what changes when a postposition follows a noun, so things I'd been getting wrong for years have finally clicked. He's patient with the messy part where I'm halfway through a sentence and stuck, and he'll say a phrase along with me until it comes out at natural speed instead of word by word. He also goes well beyond grammar: we've ended up on the difference between अध्यात्म and धर्म, and what संप्रदाय really means, which is what makes the language stick for me. I leave every lesson with pages of notes. Highly recommend if you want to actually speak, not just study.

Great & thorough first session! Has extensive knowledge and learnt a lot in a short period of time. Wonderful energy and friendly.

Very structured, minute and clean explanations. A well-rounded preview

I already have a grasp of basic hindi grammar, but want to improve my hindi speaking ability. Where Vivek is different from previous teachers I have had is that his deep linguistic knowledge provides me with clear insights in using the right verbal structure to speak like a native. He is creative in his approach, adapting to my needs, and encouraging me as we go along.

Vivek is very organized, professional, and clearly a learned teacher of linguistics. I am excited to begin my studies with such an accomplished teacher in the field of Hindi.

An interesting first lesson with a very accomplished teacher.
