Aswani Nagarjuna

Aswanigaru is a fantastic and committed teacher. She is effortlessly kind but appropriately strict in her instruction, and is immediately apparent how much joy she takes in teaching others. Even in our introductory lesson she made sure to teach something because she believes, like a true guru, every moment is a teaching moment. I never feel shy or embarrassed practicing with or learning from her; instead, I feel motivated and excited for each class. Every language teacher should takes notes from her - I cannot recommend her instruction highly enough!!

Mrs. Aswani is a fantastic teacher that has been helping me improve my Telugu and Tamil! She is very detailed and helps me correct any mistakes while speaking. She is organized and keeps notes of all discussed topics as well as newly learned vocabulary for the session. She is very friendly and easy to talk to and learn from, and she has helped me reconnect with my roots. She also answers any questions I have at any time, and she responds very quickly. For anyone wanting to learn Telugu from a true expert, Mrs. Aswani is a top class teacher!

We practiced Telugu speaking by talking about topics I find interesting. She taught me new words and provided great feedback!

Has a very strong command of both English grammar and Telugu grammar, so able to address detailed questions and explain intracacies between the two languages.

Another wonderful lesson with Aswani! This time we reviewed past lesson materials, and she was very patient as I asked all the questions I had accumulated between lessons before we started on new material. I felt confident moving on to new material, and it was explained very clearly in a way I understood instantly. At the end, we put together simple sentences with the vocab I've learned, which was incredibly helpful to really solidify simple vocab and verb conjugation in real-life use cases.

My third lesson went great! We reviewed material we had already covered in previous lessons while incorporating new material in a very natural way. Our main focus was conjugating verbs in full sentences, plus added adjectives to round out the sentences. I left class with homework to finish and new flashcards to make before our next lesson, which I'm very much looking forward to.
