The Teacher Behind the Programs
THE STORY
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.”
Vinay · French Tutor
He is 42 years old, and he started teaching French in Panchkula back in 2007-08. The students who came to him then were only through word of mouth. One parent saw their child becoming more confident and improving in French and told another parent. That parent then told their acquaintance while picking up their child from school, and so on.
Seventeen years later, that has never changed.
He never had to resort to advertisements. Each and every student in his class has come here based on the trust another person has put in him to teach their child. It’s a very traditional approach to building a career, perhaps, but it is the most honest one. Trust has always been the core of my profession.
Prior to starting private coaching, he was a government French teacher and examiner. It’s a background many teachers don’t have, and thus, one that provides him with certain unique insights. He know how French examinations are actually graded, what examiners look for, the common errors that are made by students, and the places they are losing marks unnecessarily. It helps him not just to teach French, but to help students take examinations with a strategic advantage.
In terms of academics, he hold a DALF C1 (one of the most advanced French language certification levels globally recognized). Besides, he hold an MA in French, an MBA (HR), an MSc IT, PGDHRM, and a Certificate in Analytical Writing in French.
It’s common for students to wonder why he, coming from a management and IT background, would be teaching French. The truth is, those two professions made him a better teacher. HR, as a field, helped him understand how humans learn, communicate, and remain motivated. IT made him understand the importance of systems, structures, and clarity, and it reflects in the way he structure my lessons, the way he explain things, and the way he make sure students remain on track.
Teaching French, for him, has always been beyond completing a syllabus. It’s been about instilling confidence, clarity in thought, and a genuine love for the language.
