Course Description

Fine-tuning your grammar and vocabulary for top grades in writing tasks

Founder, LingWhizkids

Abhishek Pandit

Abhishek Pandit has spent the last 10 years developing and 2 years implementing LingWhizkids- his fun and effective Language Learning System. It's already helped 15 high school students with earning marks in French or Spanish they'd never imagined. Ok, enough with the weird third person. 'I' stumbled into my passion for languages at the not so-tender age of 16 at St. Xavier's College. Applying logical thinking from my Economics Degree to French, I developed a systematic approach that allowed me to self-study Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Russian and Arabic within 8 years. After postgraduate studies with the University of London (under the Felix Scholarship), I'm back in India to share my language-learning tips and insights from international exposure across 25+ countries. On top of that, I now handle web-based course performance and learning management systems for 80,000 students across India at my day job at QUEST Alliance. I'm also a published author who can guide students to write captivating essaysSo if your son or daughter is also in his/her mid-teens like I was, prepare to be amazed at just how quick and simple language learning can be online. Simple, though not easy. They'll still need to put in the work. And what happens next? Using my methods and certifications (B2 in French, Spanish and Japanese, plus C1 in Chinese, MasterCoach Facilitators Certificate from QUEST Alliance) I have used helped my students get A+, 7/7 or 95%+ marks in IGCSE, IB and even CBSE and ICSE exams. Read some of the testimonials to know their stories.Also, I make world-class vegan chocolate mousse and cakes at my students' celebration parties. Good to know in advance.

I happened to find Abhishek through Urban clap when I was looking for a French tutor for my daughter Rhea, and what a find it was ! It was end of Jan and my daughter had last minute clarifications and doubts. Abhishek was Just the right person, I regret not taking his help earlier. My daughter is more confident now. His website and customized course was very helpful. Abhishek makes French very easy and a fun language to learn. The quizzes and the videos were new and interesting learning techniques. I highly recommend Abhishek for anybody who wants to learn French. Vijaya Yuvaraj
