"Online tutoring isn't a second job for me—it's what I do! I invest 100% in my teaching, allowing me to cater the experience to each student's unique needs.

I have more than 15 thousand hours of experience teaching English, Hindi, and Urdu. Because every student is different and requires a unique approach, I continually adapt to the learner's needs regarding how the material is presented and the type and frequency of practice work.

In addition to general language teaching, I specialize in test preparation classes for the TOEFL, IELTS, and OPIc English proficiency tests. I also work with Hindi and Urdu students preparing for foreign service exams in the US or abroad.

I earned my TESOL certification from Seattle University in 2008 and completed several master's level courses in teaching and language learning. My Hindi and Urdu studies began in 2006 at the University of Washington. Four intensive quarters of study there were followed by the American Institute of Indian Studies (AIIS) Advanced Hindi Language Program in Jaipur, India, where I did two intensive, advanced-level programs back-to-back. In 2008, AIIS hired me as the first-ever non-native speaker to teach in their Basic Hindi Program.

In 2009, I cofounded a language school in New Delhi (India), which has become a world-class place for language learning. There, I gained more than 10 thousand hours of in-class language instruction experience, working with students of all ages and backgrounds from dozens of countries. After living and teaching in India for eight years, I returned to Seattle with my family.

One thing that sets me apart as an English language teacher is that I have become fluent in second languages and know what it's like to live in an entirely different culture.

I am generally available for online classes between 6 - 10 am and 4:30 - 10 pm (PST).

If you have any questions about my experience or approach to teaching, feel free to get in touch anytime!" less...
