Praful W

I have been taking Marathi lessons with Praful for almost a year now, and I can confidently say that he is an excellent teacher. Praful is diligent, trustworthy, and patient. You will not have to worry about getting lost as Praful adjusts the lessons to your speed. Praful is great at explaining complex Marathi grammar clearly and simply, breaking each concept into manageable pieces. This makes the learning process easy and rewarding. Praful has written a lot of his own material which is great for revising outside of lessons. He also provides regular homework assignments and tests which are invaluable for tracking my progress and helping me practice the concepts we studied. Praful’s engaging teaching style has kept me motivated and consistent with learning Marathi. This has finally allowed me to see the progress I had been looking for. So if you want to take your Marathi to the next level, I highly recommend taking lessons with Praful.

I have taken Marathi lessons with Praful for 8 months. Praful is a dedicated teacher who always gives his 110%. The lessons are a mix of reviewing study materials, practice conversations, reading pages from Marathi books, watching videos, and oral & written tests. What I like about his teaching style: - Detailed study materials. - Systematic approach to grammar. - Teaches both formal and informal conjugations. - Teaches the rules, then focuses on developing good instinct and feel for the language through repetition. E.g. He spent almost 6 weeks drilling modal auxiliaries. It was the toughest topic so far but now I am much more comfortable with informal conversation. - Customizes content to match the student's interests and weak areas. - Regular tests to review recently covered materials. Most of all he genuinely wants his students to get good at the language. I have no hesitation in recommending Praful to anyone serious about learning Marathi.

Today's class was really fun! Modal auxiliaries are complex, and could potentially be a point of frustration, but Praful's way of teaching and encouraging makes the process very positive and enjoyable. I never leave class feeling defeated because Praful takes the time to make sure I'm solid in the concept before moving on, and he doesn't mind reviewing things that I'm struggling with. I also really appreciate the lightheartedness that Praful brings with him when teaching. It makes learning Marathi so much fun.

Praful is an outstanding Marathi teacher! From the very first session, Praful provided a clear plan for my language learning progression, and I'm ahead of schedule in reaching my fluency goals. Praful's experience teaching various languages to a diverse group of students is apparent. I particularly appreciate Praful's emphasis on both language learning and acquisition. He encourages students to learn vocabulary and grammar through his detailed study materials while also acquiring the language intuitively through conversation and media. Lessons are always a balanced mix of both, tailored to my learning goals and level. They are engaging and varied, including structured grammar reviews and quizzes, discussions on various topics, watching online content, and reading excerpts from books. If you are willing to put in the effort, you will progress quickly under Praful's guidance. Once I reach a sufficient level of proficiency in Marathi, I plan to take Hindi lessons with him as well.

I really like that at the end of chapters Praful prepares an exam to practice (and test) what I know so far. He focuses on the important parts of the chapter, but you realize how much more you need to learn and it's so exciting! In a month we already covered postpositions (how to make tenses), I learned a lot of vocabulary and we will now head to verbs. I feel like I can say a lot already!

We finished postpositions! Praful has a lot of material and fun activities planned: today we described the position of people on a picture.
