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!

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 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.

great!!

I've been learning Marathi from Praful for a few months now and it has definitely been worth it. I've learnt a lot and my knowledge and ability in Marathi is significantly further along thanks to him.

I've been studying Marathi with Praful for the past 4-5 months. Praful has a great teaching style, detailed materials, and well planned lessons. Praful teaches new things in each class, and he is also very intentional in making sure I continue to practice speaking with what I have learned in previous classes (which helps me solidify those concepts and gain confidence in my speaking). I look forward to continuing to learn Marathi with you, Praful. Thank you!
