What People Are Saying
“Prior to working with Reena, I tried to find a Hindi teacher and ended up with several folks who spoke both Hindi and English but weren't teachers. Makes a big difference. Reena is professional and kind. She is extremely organized and had each virtual lesson planned out to a T. I was so impressed with her skill of being patient with students' answers during lessons while also moving the lesson forward. She provides written materials and homework assignments (which she grades and gives feedback on). I had a 10-week group course and learned so much. I hope to keep learning from Reena for a long time - 10/10 recommend.”

“I'm an adult student (31) and let me say Reena is one in a million -- she's full of insight and interesting ways to learn, which keeps it fun while still learning quickly. She's always listened and cared about what I'd like to focus on (more structure or new vocab, conversational phrases, etc.) and as a result I look forward to every class.”

“Reena is a dream come true! At age 30, after trying to self-learn Hindi through podcasts, online programs, etc. for 3 years, I found Reena. I learned more in 3 weeks than I had previously in 3 years! Her classes are fun, not intimidating, her methods make the words stick in my brain, and it is worth every penny. She pushes me to think hard, get (reasonably) uncomfortable, and practice Hindi as it is spoken and written in the English alphabet. I am an American learning Hindi so I can speak to my Husband’s family, and learning with Reena WORKS!”

Reena is an awesome instructor — her whole philosophy is to get you talking in conversational Hindi and to not get bogged down with absolute exact perfect pronunciation or to go through the alphabet. You start speaking day 1 of classes.
“Reena is an awesome instructor and her whole philosophy is to get you talking in conversational Hindi and to not get bogged down with absolute exact perfect pronunciation or to go through the alphabet. You start speaking day 1 of classes with really useful phrases and words. She was super flexible when things came up and I had to reschedule. Highly recommend. It’s allowed to speak a little bit better with my in laws and has allowed me to speak to my daughter in Hindi. I definitely plan to take her classes again.”

“I thought it would be too difficult for me to learn Hindi as an Adult, but Reena is the most amazing teacher. I've truly seen results after just a few classes. Classes are fun, perfectly organized and paced. Her incredible insight and experience shine through. We are challenged, but never overwhelmed and always given great explanations to questions. She often anticipates our questions beforehand! Additionally, Reena immediately sets a safe and inviting virtual space to learn and be yourself. She is kind, respectful and a pleasure to be around.”

“Learning Hindi from Reena is great! As an adult student who has always wanted to learn conversational Hindi, but without the added complexity of learning the Hindi Devanagari script, her classes have fit the bill. They are well organized but without being overly structured - since I'm doing a 1-on-1 class, I often have a ton of questions (sometimes unrelated to the lesson at hand) about how certain words or grammar structures are used and Reena is excellent about taking the time to answer and help me understand. She's also done a good job of talking about various aspects of South Asian culture and how they relate to the language. I highly recommend Reena and her class if you're looking for a fun and well-paced way to learn conversational Hindi.”
