‣ ALL LEVELS/BACKGROUNDS WELCOME I do not discriminate based on educational background or English proficiency. We are here to learn Sanskrit, it doesn't matter to me whether you are American or Japanese; North Indian or South Indian; a college student or homemaker. Let's start wherever you're at. ‣ STUDENT-CENTRIC PEDAGOGY I teach according to YOUR needs and goals. If you are a student who needs to study for a Sanskrit exam, we can focus on your syllabus; if you are a casual Buddhist/Hindu interested in reading sacred religious texts, we can focus on material of your interest; if you are a history/religion scholar doing research on Sanskrit, we can focus on intensive grammar for primary text translation. ‣ LEARN TO THINK LIKE A SANSKRIT SCHOLAR Unfortunately most Sanskrit teachers in India focus on rote memorization of Sanskrit grammar rules, and totally neglect the rich history and socio-cultural aspect of the Sanskrit language. This is a language that has been spoken since at least 3,200 years ago (c. 1200 BCE) --- as a philology/history scholar, I believe it is impossible to truly understand Sanskrit without learning about this history, and the wide variety of speakers, places, and texts that speak the "language of the gods", Sanskrit.

Jeevika knows the structure of Hindi very well and has a solid data-backed plan for how to teach it. Every lesson left me feeling full of new knowledge and confidence.
I took Hindi classes with Jeevika for two months and I could not recommend her enough as a teacher! She take the time to get to know her students and customize the lessons to their level and goals. She has an extremely clear and easy-to-follow methodology, and she makes sure to build upon concepts so that students get a chance to put what they have learned into practice. Jeevika is also extremely kind and eager to share lots of cultural and historical knowledge with her students - which really complements her language teaching. I would highly recommend Jeevika!
Jeevika made learning Hindi fun! Her knowledge of and passion for the language is infectious and our courses together really helped improve my speaking skills.
Jeevika is an excellent teacher! Her breadth and depth of knowledge in language is very impressive and she is great at working with students to craft goals and achieve them. I've always appreciated that she interweaves cultural knowledge and understanding with linguistic exploration. I highly recommend Jeevika as a teacher!
Having been through a lot of Hindi teachers in my life, Jeevika was one of the best I have ever had. She is fluent in both Hindi and English and can explain concepts in clarity in both languages' metalanguage in a way that I had never experienced and greatly helped my learning. She is also very skilled and bringing up useful and topical examples that are relevant to issues that students are interested in, which I think has helped me to stay engaged with my hindi studied beyond my course.
Jeevika has been working with me over the past 5 months on improving my Hindi, and I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. She has an extensive knowledge of Hindi and Sanskrit grammar and is able to convey her teachings in an easy to understand way, making lessons enjoyable and useful. She also has many lists of useful words (like verbs) that can be used in daily conversation. I was able to smash through the grammar in one month with her help, and can now speak Hindi very comfortably thanks to her.
Jeevika is a super flexible and competent teacher. I've been learning Hindi in a group of 3 and in private sessions with her for two years now and can only recommend her. She has a great way of explaining and teaching and also explains Indian customs and traditions alongside. Can't go wrong with her!
Jeevika taught me intensive Hindi classes for three months in 2023. Her command of grammar, and ability to teach complicated concepts in a simple way, is incredible. She offered excellent explanations and helped correct my mistakes systematically which put me on a path to much better understanding of the language. I really enjoyed learning from her and highly recommend her as a teacher! :)
Jeevika is phenomenal Hindi teacher, who is very knowledgeable and extremely kind and approachable. Thanks to her, my Hindi skills have improved significantly and I feel much more confident while communicating with others. Her lessons are both very engaging, as well as immersive and full of depth. I highly recommend learning with Jeevika, regardless of what you goals are because she will definitely deliver!
Jeevika is a fantastic, engaging teacher! Her lessons are mix of both rigorous grammar training, conversational fluency, as well as rich discussion about sociopolitical history of Indian languages. Hats off to her and her knowledge, lovely classes...
