Tutor Profile

RICHA

Private Hindi and Punjabi Tutor in Edinburgh

I am a native of India from the state of Punjab who has been living in U.K for over 40 years. I am fluent in three languages - Hindi, English and Punjabi. I specialise in teaching conversational Hindi and Punjabi and have over 14 years encompassing over 2,000 hours of teaching experience.

I offer one to one teaching and teaching in a group. I have extensive experience in both online teaching and face to face teaching so I am best placed to support people who like to learn in the comfort of their own home and those who want face to face teaching.

I appreciate that the language learning journey does not stop after our lessons and so I offer 24/7 support through email. If you have a question you do not need to wait till your next session. I am always happy to help you.

I offer a discount for group sessions.

Whether you just need few hours of lessons to brush up your existing knowledge or you are visiting India, or want to communicate with your or your partners family I can help you to converse with the natives.

I offer a complimentary consultation to my new potential students so that we get to know each other better and it helps me to prepare the lessons according to the needs of my students. You can book a free consultation session with me through my profile and see for yourself how language learning can be a productive and rewarding activity.

I look forward to hearing from you and helping you with your language learning journey.

Teaching Experience

Since I teach the conversational part of the language (which involves listening, understanding, conversing, group discussion, vocabulary building, grammar, pronunciation, sentence structure and various other aspects of effective communication) it is an interesting way of teaching and learning because I teach through talking.

I`m experienced in teaching professionals(actors, dentists, doctors, retired and semi retired people, students and lots more) I have done workshops in primary schools about India, Indian languages, Indian culture, Indian festivals, Indian food and lots more so if you are interested in learning about Indian culture, I am happy to support you.

My students are located all over the world and in lessons my goal is to enhance their strengths and work on their weaknesses.

Tutoring Approach

I have a holistic approach to teaching which I have gained from years of experience in teaching my students alongside having completed a Level 3 Life Coaching course. This helps me to identify my students objectives, motivations and preferred learning style. I have consistently received feedback from my students that my lessons are interesting, engaging and that they learn a lot. I take a great deal of pride in my work. I understand that each student is different so am flexible in my approach to teaching as all my lessons are tailor made according to the individual needs of my students.

Richa is an amazing tutor! She explains things really well and I’ve been able to learn a lot in just one month with zero Punjabi experience. I really recommend her!

I really enjoy my Punjabi lessons with Richa. The lessons are very well structured, and each week I feel like I’m gaining more confidence with the language. She’s very supportive and patient. I would highly recommend her.

Tutor response

Thanks Casey. I'm so pleased you are not only making good progress but also enjoying your lessons.

JessicaFirst Tutors

I’ve only had 4 lessons with Richa but am really happy with them so far and feel like I’ve learnt so much already. She is incredibly patient and ensures you get the most out of each lesson without overloading you with information. She has a very calm demeanour but bubbly personality and makes you feel at ease straight away. While I still have a lot to learn I’m looking forward to progressing with her, thank you Richa!

KieranFirst Tutors

I was quite nervous doing something like this as I have never done it before. However, Richa is very understanding and works to your pace of understanding. She is good at relating what you’re learning to you and how you can incorporate what you learn into your daily life - what’s relevant to you. I’ve only done a few lessons and I am becoming more confident as the lessons go on.

Tutor response

Many thanks Kieran for taking the time out to write the feedback and I am pleased that you are becoming confident in Punjabi.
