Praful W

I've been taking Marathi lessons with Praful for a year. He's a wonderful teacher, very intelligent, friendly, and encouraging. Marathi grammar is quite complex (from the perspective of a white American) but he explains the different tenses and parts of speech thoroughly and clearly. I've developed an appreciation for the sound and logic of the language. Whether you are learning Marathi to connect with family or your heritage or for personal enrichment, I encourage you to take classes with Praful. My Marathi has improved tremendously thanks to him!

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 was an exam day! We reviewed the sentence structures I've learned so far, did translation, changing forms etc. Praful knows which things I struggle with most and tries to emphasize on those so that I learn, also gives good tips to improve the speaking.

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.

Praful is an amazing teacher, he is very patient, the material is always well prepared, the lessons have a good structure. He explains in an understandable way, also introduces a friendly atmosphere, thanks to which you are happy to come to the next lesson. I recommend him with all my heart!

Praful is doing a great job teaching my 8 yr old son! My son is starting off at a beginner level so I appreciate Praful starting with the basics and flexibly changing his methods to meet my son’s needs. Praful is very patient and my son likes him!
