Hello, I am Freya! I am originally from India and have recently moved to the US (from Singapore) to pursue my Masters degree in Public Health. Hindi is my mother tongue and a language I am proud of. I graduated high school with a Bilingual Diploma in the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum. I studied Hindia A: Language and Literature and received a 7 (highest score band) in IB. I am a kind and passionate teacher with good experience. I have been volunteering as a teacher in my community since I was 16 years old and love working with students to create a fun and flexible environment which suits their needs. I have been tutoring in Singapore for the last three years.
Most recently, I tutored two primary school students in spoken and written Hindi. Before that, I taught English at an ESL level to a Grade 5 student. The student was on the Autism spectrum and had mild learning difficulties. The time, effort, and full support that I offered him raised his English from a Grade 3 to a Grade 4 level and is a testament to my love for tutoring. For primary school students, I make my teaching style very fun which is full of games and practical experience in using the language. I am very comfortable adapting my teaching style and resources as per the student's needs and ensure that I am always giving my full support to the best of my capabilities. I also have extensive experience working with children who are on the Autism Spectrum and who have ADHD and am trained in molding my sessions to cater to their needs. I look forward to tutoring Hindi and helping someone embrace the language I love and admire.
Hindi is a very phonetic language, which makes it very easy to learn to read and write. The grammar structure of Hindi is quite different from English but I believe it is quite intuitive once the fundamental rules are understood. Like all languages, the more you practice, the easier it gets. As a Hindi tutor, I will be there to guide you along the way and make sure you learn practical and useful Hindi language skills.
The time it takes to learn Hindi depends on multiple factors, but the most important is practice! If you are in an environment where you can interact with others in Hindi, it lowers the learning time by a lot. Spoken and conversational Hindi takes less time to learn than the Hindi script (to read and write). Overall, an intensive college-style and level Hindi basics course can take around 4 months. However, it requires a daily commitment from the student outside of class hours as well.
