Q:- What inspired you to do what you are doing right now?

A:- Languages have always been my strong pursuit, I personally developed a flare for them in class 5th at school, and then it was never looking back, i continued to study them along side my professional courses and understood the demand for quality education in this sector, being a student myself it was always easy to grasp the pain points and difficult situations one faces while learning. I also made a point to keep upskilling myself, completing various courses in fields such as child and adult psychology, Adult learning patterns, and brain learning pedagogy. This helped me to understand the thought process and functioning of an individual even better, in turn gave me a smoother teaching pattern and best results. So, I can safely say it was my passion to understand different cultures and languages that made me do what I am doing!

Q:- What is your current perception about the market situation?

A:- The current market situation is at its peak. With various imigration programmes being opened to the Indian population and the outstanding demand of working professionals throughout the work keeps steadily rising. Our professionals are celebrated worldwide for their hard work and skillset, It’s just the language which stands as a barrier for most people to realise their dreams and grab better opportunities abroad or even staying in India and working remotely or as a freelancer for this wide market of 27 countries abroad in which French is spoken. Most European openings demand French as a plus point apart from English, if ofcourse we ignore Canada and its everlasting skilled labour shortage. This doesn’t only open doors to massive opportunities but can change one’s entire life.

Q:- Why is your product/service unique/What is your USP?

1) Our service as a brand comes not from just a business plan but pure research and development, It’s like after working with so many individuals, all revolving around language and its 4 pillars, I came to a point where I could understand their doubts and apprehensions even before they would put them up. It was at that moment I realised that we must have a holistic mechanism which covers French not only as a language to migrate but to live it and through it wherever my students go.

2) I do focus on the traditionals aspects of language concerning correct grammar and vocabulary but with changing times, internet, slang and instant messaging just old text book French was not going to be enough. I had to start with modern day French which is dynamic and very challenging. I cover the day to day authentic French which is still new but definitely needed in the Market.

3) I can instruct and hold classes in 3 different languages and 2 dialects which help my consumer base feel more included and understood.

4) We take the French language as a medium to channel their energy into a productive learning and healing experience, Taking up a new language has always scientifically shown beautiful results in decreasing neuropsychological and mental issues. It strengthens my students memory, their confidence, gives them a new purpose and a chance to change their lives.

Our classes involve special healing sessions as I do have certifications in NLP and Access healing, which is included for all my batches to learn and heal at the same time.
