Geeta was a great teacher for our mixed group, who learned Hindi for business. She is a warm, friendly and reliable teacher. She adapted the curriculum to suit our needs, and frequent practice and repetition enabled us to reinforce the concepts we learned. Dhanyawaad!

I really enjoyed the Hindi course with Geeta at Mary Ward. The course is a good introduction to Hindi and I didn't need any prior knowledge. She gave me a good overview of the basics while I was there and soon had us chatting and writing simple stories and conversations in Hindi.

I did enjoy learning Hindi with Geeta Sharma last year. Her knowledge of the Hindi language is excellent and she takes joy in teaching it.

Geeta is a good and dedicated teacher who knows how to get the best out of her students by virtue of understanding their needs. She also has a kind and happy nature which makes her a lovely person to be around.

I have just completed Level 1 for Hindi beginners with Geeta – I learnt so much in a short space of time, Geeta was able to teach each lesson according to my level of understanding, which has given me the confidence to speak & communicate with others. After my course with Geeta, I felt equipped with reading & speaking hindi, Geeta makes learning a new language fun, whether you are a complete beginner, or simply want to brush up on your conversational/reading skills – Geeta’s teaching methods are wonderfully unique & tailored to your specific needs!

These were the opening lines that I was taught on day 1 of punjabi by Mrs Geeta Sharma in January 2015 for level 1.

I will never forget my first day when we were told to stand in a circle, after only having learnt a few lines that morning we were asked to throw a toy to fellow classmates and the catcher would have to ask a question in punjabi! All being shy and nervous not knowing anyone we soon settled in.

My classes were once a month for three hours which were quite intense, but yet rewarding. We were a class of 8 including myself, and all of us bar one was of a punjabi background, the rest of us were from an English background who had partners who were punjabi.

The reading material that Geeta provided was easy to follow, but involved a lot of self learning and dedication. I found coming from a Mauritian French - creole background I was a little slower than some in my class grasping punjabi and quite often mixing the words around with Hindi!! However, Geeta as always remained patient and explained the structure of why some words were used and not others. I felt at ease to ask questions or even to email when needing a little help with my homework!

Coming towards the end of the year I had three days of assessments (speaking, listening writing), needless to say the immense encouragement and faith that Geeta had in us all went a long way. I certainly managed to achieve what I had set out to do and acquired a level 6 certificate. We were all nervous, yet we all came through in the end.

All in all Geeta is a fantastic tutor in not only punjabi but also Hindi. She is dedicated and remains resilient to students and seeks different ways to encourage and support students. I would highly recommend her and im disappointed that due to work commitments I was not able to do level 2, given the opportunity I would use Geeta as a tutor.

To hear that she now offers a Skype session to students (1-2-1 and groups) is fantastic as it creates more freedom and comfort. What better way to learn than being in your own home?
