I have a degree in Education with Psychology and have vast experience of teaching from toddlers to teens and adults too. I have coached adults in India to master the English Language.

In US, I have been teaching Hindi to teens and adults and to American born Indians and Americans, also, who want to learn Hindi. I specialize in teaching reading, writing and speaking Hindi at a level to earn Foreign language high school credit for Fairfax County Public Schools.

Adult American have taken lessons not only to learn the language, but to understand and learn diverse Indian culture and food.

I am experienced in teaching grammar of both English and Hindi to be able to express correctly. Although I have a science degree I have equal experience in teaching Math, Science and languages.

I am looking forward to having some new challenges...

Hindi

I am Padmini, a teacher at heart, have been teaching since my teens. I love teaching and working with all age groups from toddlers to teens and their parents. I am based in Northern Virginia and working with Fairfax County Public Schools as a FLEX-teacher for Hindi. Although Hindi is not my mother tongue, I grew up with the language and it's my love and passion. Hindi has evolved from Sanskrit and has lots of verbal variations, but the its script is just one called Devnagari (from the place of Gods) just like Sanskrit and is used in a very different way than English. The beauty of this language is the way you write, so you speak the way it is written, as it is spoken. Unlike English, there is almost no variation in its pronunciation, if Devnagari Script is used. I am Visharad in Hindi from Prayag University form India and have taught the language to ICSE and CBSE students and taught literature and poetry at college level. In US I have worked with diplomats and college level students for many years. Presently I am involved with preparing students to take foreign language credit exam with FCPS.

Knowledgeable and patient

She's very patient as I learned new words in Gujarati. And she has the best smile when I pronounce it right, which I appreciate more than I thought. I never feel like I'm boring her, she's very engaging and encouraging!

Great teacher for adult students!

Learning a new language as an adult can be very difficult, but Padmini has made it very easy. She’s great about catering to your current level and providing Appropriate work for the student to learn quickly. She is very patient with me and gives me material to work on between lessons. I recommend Hindi lessons with Padmini!

Professional, Knowledgeable & Highly Recommend

Padmini was wonderful. She made sure I understood the material and taught me in a way that was easy for me to understand. She was really helpful and made sure she met me on the exact level I was at. She also went over things more than once if I needed.

Kelsey, 2 lessons with Padmini

Knowledgeable and patient tutor. I highly recommend.

I learned Sanskritam (Devanagari) script. Reviewed vowels, their sounds and contracted forms to make the words. In Devanagari script, contracted form of vowels are used in writing." It was an absolute blessing having Padmini as my sanskritam tutor, for she went step by step in helping me retain and understand the sacred teachings of sanskritam. Padmini is extremely knowledgeable and patient. Anytime challenges arise in class, I will definitely reach out to Padmini to receive my tutoring and guidance. I highly recommend Padmini. I can say with confidence, that you will not be disappointed.
