I'm Dilisha Lokwani, a student of grade 12. I have been learning French from Ketaki madame for the past 1 and half years. Every class of hers is very informative and interesting. Her approach towards teaching any concept is very on-point yet elaborate. She shares many helpful tips and tricks and makes sure everybody understands everything clearly. She is always ready to solve doubts. Madame makes French so much more easier for us. It's a pleasure learning from Ketaki madame.
Ketaki is an excellent and experienced teacher. She is a calm and thoughtful tutor who really cares about her students. Her teaching methods are great and most importantly she never hesitate explaining things multiple times without getting stressed or angry. Very clear and concise. She has good command over the language and provides relevant content to practice the concepts. Overall very interactive sessions and I highly recommend her.
Well the search for best class to learn French ends here ! I am.learning French since 1 year. Ketaki ma'am always teaches with innovative teaching techniques like videos, PPT s, PDFs,etc. Ma'am is just amazing to teach for any age student, beginners and experience ones. Ma'am has very good knowledge and takes same efforts on her students too. Constant conversation in French helps in learning communication skills effectively. Her class is always combined with knowledge and fun !!
I love this class. Madame Velankar is a great teacher and she's really passionate about French. I do enjoy this course. I get to learn new things everyday and improve my knowledge about France, French culture, food etc. Everything is perfect, we have lots of fun and learn even more things, through listening to French music, audios and watching movies. The only downside is, we have to do it online. 😂😅
I completed by B1 studying under Ketaki Ma'm in Dec'21. Her style of teaching is really very engaging. We would have interactive sessions and a lot of discussions rather than just learning. She made us practice a lot of French speaking as well as tons of grammar. By the exam date I was well prepared for all the streams especially the explanation part of l'orale. We also had loads of fun watching French movies and during the fete de 14th Jul.
