Devyani

Lincy J. from Milpitas, CA

Daveyani is a patient and very helpful tutor. She is been teaching my son French and he had improved his understanding of French tremendously and doing much better in school. She is very sincere and wants her students to do good. She is also very flexible in timing. She is a great tutor and I highly recommend her.

Pramod H. from San Jose, CA

We wanted a tutor for grade improvement and Devyani was a perfect choice. Immediately after the first few lessons we saw improvements in outcome of tests and quizzes. Devyani is patient and keeps the right pace. She also works on weak areas and builds confidence in her students. She is easily accessible to parents and students.

Devyani has been a great French tutor for our daughter. She has been kind and patient in her approach. She is very prompt with commitments. Well organized and well structured courses. Good course material. Our daughter has been happy and looks forward to the teaching sessions.

I am a working professional in my mid 20’s, and wanted to learn conversational Hindi to impress my in-laws. I came to Devyani 7 months ago, having zero experience learning a second language. Since starting lessons with Devyani, she has exceeded my expectations in a short period in time, having gained comfortable grasp on the basics of conversational Hindi. I am no longer the token ‘gori’ (white girl) in the room, as I am able to talk to strangers in Hindi on the general conversational topics (family, work, basic info, holidays & FOOD) that we have gone over during our lessons. Rather than fixate on teaching me colors and names of animals, Devyani has done an excellent job tailoring our sessions to meet my needs as an adult. The last time I was in school, I was suffering from a bad case of ‘senioritis’ at SJSU. Despite suffering from senioritis in the past, I always come to her lessons excited and eager to learn. She is a great motivator, and you can tell that she loves her profession as a teacher, by her positive and engaging attitude during every lesson.

Ms. Devyani has worked with my two boys for a long time. She helps them with writing, reading comprehension, and vocabulary. She is very responsible to make sure that student is understanding the lesson and material taught. She fully used the time allocated for tutoring, finding all kinds of things to cover the area of tutoring. She is also very patient and nice to my boys (based on their comments). I always see her encouraging them with a very positive attitude. She is good tutor, and I will recommend her.

Thanks Devyani. The kids are now much more confident about their oral tests. Thanks for your patience and approach to make things easier to understand.

I am writing to highly recommend Devyani G. Earlier this year, my son transferred to a small high school that did not offer French. Therefore, he had to enroll in an online course to complete his final semester. Since no one at home speaks French, I enlisted the help of a tutor for the first time. Devyani contacted us immediately and got us right on track. She adapted to my son’s curriculum and kept him focused and on task for biweekly hour-long (sometimes longer) sessions; quite a feat since my son is easily distracted. It was clear from the beginning that Devyani is not just a skilled French teacher; she has a love of the French language and culture. As a result, her sessions with my son were engaging (I even caught myself eavesdropping) and memorable. My son often shares facts about French art, music, etc. that he learned in his sessions, and by the way, he ended up with an “A” in the course. Devyani’s strength is her versatility. Because she is so competent, she is equipped to challenge gifted students as well as those who need extra help.

It's been more than 3 months since my daughter started French and general tutoring lessons with Devyani. She really enjoys the lessons to the point that I can "threaten" to stop these lessons if she doesn't behave. Devyani is patient and knows how to make an 8 year old interested and engaged. My daughter loves the French lessons and even seems to enjoy doing the homework assignments from Devyani, which is surprising to me, but a pleasant surprise.

Saumyabrata B. from Cupertino, CA

Devyani is teaching my daughter French and advanced Hindi language for last 5 months. She is making remarkable progress in both the subjects. She knows the subjects really well and she creates the right structure depending on the student. She sets a goal and helps my daughter to achieve it. She keeps us updated about the progress of the student. She involves and guides us in decision making. She sets the right expectation not only to the student but also to the parents so we always know what is expected out of us to make this program successful. We are really lucky to have Devyani as our daughter's teacher.

Pearl R. from San Jose, CA

So far after the first session my son is very happy with Devyani. They reviewed for an upcoming test and he feels confident with them reviewing together, also he feels that he did well on this particular test (but has not gotten the results yet). Devyani was very encouraging and reassuring to my son (the reassurance helps him a lot because he's a bit shy and quiet). We look forward in continuing working with her as she's becoming part of this family. Thank you so much Devyani for making my son feel comfortable and confident with his school review.

Sarathy S. from San Jose, CA

Mrs. G. has been very patient with my kid. She carefully reviewed his work and led him to corrections, with examples. She gave him some topics to work on and diligently followed up on his work. I sincerely recommend her to any parent looking for a tutor who knows how to work with kids.

Arathi H. from San Jose, CA

Devyani is an awesome French teacher! She speaks excellent French and is very patient and dedicated teacher. We are very satisfied with our lessons with her.

Khe L. from San Jose, CA

Very confident and patient with my kid. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Kay S. from Los Altos, CA

I wanted to resurrect my French after many years before taking a trip to France. Devyani was very helpful and covered the basics that I am likely to encounter on my voyage. Her accent is excellent and unlike a text book she knows all the nuances. I am sure my tutorials with her will greatly enhance my enjoyment on my trip.

Monaaz S. from San Jose, CA

We were lucky to get Devyani at the right time. My daughter needed a quick review and assistance to give her entrance test for her French 2 Honors. Devyani guided us well and helped us get the right textbooks and work books. She built our daughter's confidence and very patiently got her to write creative essays and read passages all the while correcting her grammar and punctuation. She was dependable and always ready to hear us out. She was very adaptable to our time changes as we were constantly on the run with school, tuition and other classes. She did an incredible job in a short time and for that we are very grateful. We wish her all the very best in her endeavors.

Madhavi A. from Cupertino, CA

I would highly recommend Ms.Devyani as a French tutor. She was one of the best tutors my son had in his 8th grade. As a tutor she really goes out of her way to make sure the child is understanding and getting to learn the subject well. She definitely helped my son to get better grades. She provides constructive feedback and closely monitors progress of students.

Tajan K. from San Jose, CA

Devyani met with my son the first time and was very patient in her interactions with him. She asked him about the areas that he wanted to improve in, what he was doing in school on the subject, and also how he wanted to move forward. She then came up with a plan, and also taught him his first lesson. My son said he was comfortable with her and believes that he would learn a lot from her.

Myra D. from Milpitas, CA

Devyani met with my son for the first time and was very patient. She is very responsible and caring. My son feels comfortable when Devyani is around since he's a bit shy. He can't wait for her to come over again. Devyani was very encouraging to my son. Thank you so much Devyani for making my son feel comfortable and confident.

Diane J. from Los Gatos, CA

My daughter needed a last minute tutoring session for a test she had the following day. Devyani came to the rescue even though she went through heavy traffic to come to our home. My daughter found her very helpful and asked for Devyani to return for another tutoring session. Again, Devyani was very prompt with her response and availability. I felt she really cares for my daughters educational needs.

Medha K. from Saratoga, CA

Medha liked her teaching method and looking forward to enhance her skills in the areas that she currently needs some improvements.
