The Teacher Behind the Programs
Teaching French for 17 of them. DALF C1. Gym since age 13. GK obsessive. Friendly approach. Students say wow. Parents say thank you. Both matter equally.
17 years. Same address. Parents still calling parents.
I am 42. I started teaching French in Panchkula in 2007-08. My first students came through word of mouth. A parent saw their child improve and told the parent next door. That parent told someone at school pickup. That pattern has not changed once in 17 years.
I have never run a single advertisement for students. Every student sitting in my class right now arrived because someone who trusted me told someone who needed me. That is either the most old-fashioned business model in Panchkula or the most honest one. I think it is both.
Before private coaching I worked as a government French instructor and examiner. That gave me something most teachers do not have: I know exactly how French is assessed. What patterns examiners look for. Where students lose marks they should not. I bring that knowledge into every session.
I hold a DALF C1 – the highest international French certification. An MA in French, MBA in HR, MSc in IT, PGDHRM and a Certificate in Analytical Writing in French. People ask why someone with an MBA and IT background teaches French. The honest answer: it makes me better at it. HR taught me how people learn. IT taught me how systems work. Both show up in how I teach.
Why French
“I was 20 when I first really heard French spoken properly. Something clicked. It sounded like someone had designed a language to be beautiful. I wanted to understand it completely. 22 years later I still find something new in it. That feeling is what I try to pass on.”
