Course Description

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • It’s such a competitive world these days, and you want to give your kids the best shot at life. But then you see them come home with red ink on their answer papers and feel so powerless. What was the point of all these expensive international schools?
  • At least with the other usual school subjects you can help. But you don't know French, and there's no textbook! Or at least it was never this tough in your day. All their classmates have done French before or have tutors. So where do you go looking for them now?
  • It’s hard enough getting teens to share what's bothering them. All you hear is that the teacher is boring and they don't feel like studying. Then they have all classes, sports activities and CAS volunteering to manage too! How do you get them to sit down and put in the effort?

If so, you’ve come to the right place.

Bonjour, I’m Abhishek Pandit, and I help your kids crack the IB French (SL) exams to get into their dream colleges.

After studying in international schools and universities, teaching myself 8 languages to certification levels and coaching 15 students, I’ve learnt EXACTLY how to help your kids master French in record time, at their own pace and without you ever having to force them. When you love the language, it tends to love you back!

What will you be getting in this course:

  1. A step-by-step guide to building your own sentences and gradually making them more complex
  2. A Pathbreaking System to make Conjugation simpler- in ALL tenses
  3. Connections with the best resources online (Youtube, other websites)
  4. Quizzes- Make it all stick
  5. Mystery Challenges- Figure the rules out!

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'm a student from TISB and I've been lucky to have had Mr. Abhishek teach me French from the beginning of 11th grade. Thanks to some of Mr. Abhshek's unique learning techniques I changed from a student not so good at learning languages to one that has reached a stage that I can practice and learn new concepts on my own. Not only did he make French learning more fun by teaching me how to use patterns to learn conjugations but he also introduced me to new resources that would help me learn on my own, like this website. There isn't any teacher I know that has the ability to teach difficult concepts and facilitate my learning like the way Mr. Abhishek has over the past 2 years.
