Review by Ruehanee
"Prajakta is absolutely the best! I am so glad I chose her to be my teacher. I had a very short amount of time to achieve an Intermediate Mid rating on the
ACTFL test and with Prajakta's help I was able to achieve it. She went above and beyond to help me, and she passed on as much knowledge as she could. She developed a custom curriculum and would send me stories and worksheets to increase my vocabulary and improve my grammar. I would highly recommend choosing her as your Hindi teacher."

"I have no prior experience with Hindi and was a little bit nervous to begin my lessons...but Prajakta has really been a great instructor. She is friendly
and patient and it is obvious that she has a lot of experience teaching. She provides helpful handouts before each lesson and goes over them in detail. I would highly recommend Prajakta's services to others looking to learn Hindi!"

"We have taken more than 10 lessons so far and most important thing about it is that our son Aadit looks forward to his lessons which is we feared most. Mo
re so because the lessons were online. Contrary to our fears he is rapidly increasing his knowledge of letters and is constantly improving his vocabulary. We have have only good things to say and recommend highly Prajakta to whoever wants to get Hindi lessons."

I am born and have grown up Deaf. I regularly communicate in American Sign Language (ASL).
During my time at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), I weekly met a few students and helped them with their ASL courses. I signed words and sentences to these students when they asked me questions.
After I have graduated from RIT, I have worked at two federal agencies for three years. At one of these federal agencies, I have participated in ASL courses by one-on-one signing words and sentences to tutees and by having these tutees copy these words and sentences in ASL.

I believe the best way for students to learn is through a dialogue, for them to show they understand. To acheive this, I avoid lecturing and rote learning. Instead, I set out cl
ear learning objectives at the start and then ask appropriate questions to ascertain the student's understanding throughout our lessons together. This way my lessons are personable, and geared towards the individual student's needs.
I also believe learning should be enjoyable. I create a fun, enthusiastic lesson environment. I have worked with students of all ages and have built good rapport with them all. I look forward to getting to know you and starting working together soon!

About Isabela
I'm an enthusiastic learner even after 19 years of formal education (two Masters, one Bachelor) earned on two continents continued by US military education in various forms, and formally tested student who needed to document skills that were not formally captured on paper (like the foreign languages I know).
I love interacting with people and pass on my knowledge from five visited continents, instill love for learning and continuous curiosity for any subject out there. Nothing is impossible when you set your mind to it. Failing once doesn't mean that you'll never win (proof in my athletic years and life ever since); determination, hard work, self-motivation and a good supporting system can bring to reality even the most insignificant dreams that we believe may not come true, and especially those in which we passionately trust.

lieve in breaking down a goal into objectives, assigning tasks to each one of them, and then sticking to achieve them.
I'm a Certified Instructor with the Department of Homeland Security. My hobbies include practicing foreign languages by speaking them, learning about cultures and slangs, etymology, watching foreign movies, traveling internationally, taking photos, reading (a lot), carefully planning with room for error and impulsive decisions (to take the boredom out of things), meeting with life long friends, drawing, painting, and spending time outdoors for inspiration.
I'm elated at the opportunity of brainstorming with you and giving you tools to be an independent learner.

About Dror
I am from Karmiel, Israel and moved the the US about a month ago. I studied industrial engineering at Technion in Israel and now am studying at University of Maryland.
Hebrew is my mother language and I love opportunities to engage people from the US and other countries in conversation about Hebrew and the country of Israel. My fiance is American and I successfully taught her Hebrew from level 0! She also teaches ESL and together we have come up with a lot of great strategies for translating and teaching Hebrew and English.
I'm a very dependable and friendly person who you can always trust to show up on a time and prepared. My students always feel comfortable when learning with me because I let them share with me what kind of lesson style they prefer and what they'd like to focus on.

My name is Eirene and I love learning languages. I grew up in Canada and the U.S. and have traveled to over 20 countries. Whenever I have some free time, I love to listen to podcasts, chat with my native speaker friends and travel at every opportunity I get. This year, I was in Tanzania, where I studied Swahili for 2 months. Other than studying and teaching language, I also love cooking, drawing and taking walks around the city.
