Testimonials

Ramya Srinidhi
A sincere thank you to Varshaa Srivastava for coaching me in the Japanese language. I went to her with a story and said, “I want to share this in Japanese — in Japan — in about a month.” I didn’t know the language at all, and I only had the script in Romaji. Varshaa was incredibly patient with every mistake, every funny pronunciation, every hesitation. She worked with me sentence by sentence, word by word, sound by sound — even sending voice notes to guide me. When the day came, I felt so confident narrating the story in Japanese. And I am so proud to say that the audience genuinely believed I could speak fluent Japanese! Only later did they learn that I had worked only on this story to narrate it in their language. Thank you, Varshaa-sensei. I cannot wait to begin my full Japanese language journey with you.

Varsha is a fantastic teacher, She is really gifted and is very encouraging and goes the extra mile to ensure I understand things. I am a slow learner and sort of a last bencher but the way she is been teaching and giving me small bite sizes has helped me reach a decent level where I am confident that learning Japanese is my cup of tea and hope to conquer this BIG mountain someday. For all those deciding to learn Japanese, I would definitely recommend her, Thank you for everything and making me believe that I can learn.

Soman Mohapatra
I had attended the beginner's level Japanese course conducted by Varsha san. Initially, I was apprehensive about the difficulties of learning a foreign language. But Varsha san's systematic and methodical approach of teaching Japanese made the learning interesting. Her energy and enthusiasm motivated me to put in greater effort.
Her Japanese classes not only prepare you to manage your day to day life in Japan, it also helps you to communicate effectively in a professional environment. Due to her long tenure of living in Japan, she teaches Japanese the way it is actually spoken.
