I am adept at teaching these subjects across various curriculums, from introductory courses for beginners to advanced studies for university-level students.

In my approach to teaching, I focus on nurturing an engaging and interactive learning environment. I adapt my teaching methods to each student’s unique learning style, ensuring they not only master the linguistic nuances but also develop an appreciation for the rich cultural heritage embedded in the language.

As an online tutor, I am proficient in using various digital teaching platforms, offering a seamless and engaging learning experience in a virtual environment.

With my blend of academic expertise and commitment to personalised teaching, I am driven to guide students towards their academic goals while fostering a lifelong interest in Sanskrit.
