• When did you develop an interest in your chosen field and in private tutoring?

  My interest in Hindi developed during my own school days, where I fell in love with the depth of its literature and the structure of its grammar. I realized early on that many students struggle with Hindi not because it’s difficult, but because of how it is conventionally taught. I started private tutoring over four years ago with a mission to change that—by making Hindi engaging, approachable, and highly relevant for modern students.

• Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less).

  What I love discussing: I absolutely enjoy breaking down complex grammar rules (Vyakaran) into simple, logical concepts. I also love exploring Hindi literature and poetry with students, helping them understand the deeper meanings behind the texts rather than just memorizing answers.
  
  What I like a little less: Memorizing rigid essays without understanding the core vocabulary. I prefer encouraging students to think and write creatively in Hindi rather than relying on rote learning."

• Did you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you?

  Yes, my own school Hindi teacher was a massive inspiration. They didn't just read from the textbook; they brought stories to life with incredible expressions, storytelling, and real-world examples. They taught me that a great teacher doesn't just deliver content—they spark curiosity. I try to bring that exact same energy and passion into my own online classes today.

• What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?

  Patience and adaptability are at the absolute top. Every student learns at their own pace; what works for a CBSE student preparing for board exams might not work for an IGCSE student or someone learning spoken Hindi. A good tutor must be able to customize their teaching style to match the student's unique mindset, creating a comfortable, judgment-free zone where they aren't afraid to make mistakes.

• Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.

  I once had a student from a non-Hindi background who joined my class with a lot of anxiety and was consistently failing the subject. Instead of forcing heavy grammar on day one, we started with simple daily-life conversations and storytelling. Within a few months, not only did their school grades jump significantly, but they actually started voluntarily reading short Hindi storybooks. Seeing that shift from fear to genuine confidence is the most rewarding part of this profession.

• What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or are still facing in your subject?

  The biggest hurdle is the misconception that Hindi is an outdated or 'boring' subject. Because of this mindset, students often approach it with a lack of interest, treating it merely as a compulsory exam to pass. Overcoming this resistance and showing them how beautiful, structured, and globally relevant the language is remains a continuous but highly fulfilling challenge.

• Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?

  My core passion is communication and language empowerment. I am driven by the goal of building a comprehensive language platform that simplifies Hindi learning globally. Beyond that, I have a deep love for visual storytelling and photography—capturing the essence of a moment or a culture, much like how a well-chosen word captures a precise emotion in a sentence.

• What makes you a Superprof (besides answering these interview questions)?

  What truly makes me a 'Superprof' is my proven track record of teaching over 500 students and my ability to seamlessly bridge the gap between academic excellence and real-world fluency. I don’t offer a generic curriculum; whether a student needs to ace their ICSE,CBSE,IGCSE or any board exams or sound confident speaking with family, I deliver highly interactive, result-oriented, and engaging lessons that make them fall in love with the language.
