"Mrs. Kalyani is the best German Teacher. She is very patient, polite and professional. She has very good command on grammar and made learning German fun. She is very disciplined and I am really happy to have her as my teacher. I completed till B1 with her and I got 73% in my A2 exam. I look forward to have my B2 classes from her. "

"I have completed my German A1 and A2 with Kalyani mam. I managed to secure 83% in A1 and 74% in A2 under her guidance. I am currently doing my B1 classes with her. She is an extremely supportive and encouraging teacher. She provided sufficient work sheets and practice materials. She is very sincere and makes you put a sincere effort too. I am glad that I found teacher like her who makes learning German easy and interesting. I would highly recommend her for learning German language. "

"I already completed my A1 level with Kalyani Ma'am. Even though we were short on time, she managed to cover the syllabus and I passed the exam with 77%. I am back to do A2 with her. She has been wonderful and quite easy to understand. Thanks."

"Hi All, I would like share my ordeal that i underwent with Kalyani. Money of Rs.22500/- was diligently collected promising of 50 lecture classes. There was no clarity from day 1 on how the curriculum would be dealt with. The classes were managed through some worksheets all the way upto 4 weeks and then i was told to buy Studio D but then again changed to Netzwerk. There were over 24 days during the 10 weeks the classes were not conducted citing various reasons (Tutor vacation trips, etc etc). Out of 24 misses, 12 were from my side due to bad medical emergency where i furnished all the documents to Kalyani. Kalyani not only ignored my medical records, she didnt care of 12 classes missed from her side and abruptly told me yesterday that she will not finish my syllabus and can only cover 5 of missed classes. When i requested for the syllabus completion or even the missed classes coverage the answer was negative and harsh. I even asked for the missed classes refund so that i could enroll somewhere else, she just disconnected the call and has been not reachable since then. I have decided to take it the legal route as well through Consumer court but would want to alert all the students to seek the terms and conditions which is in compliance with the law of the land before paying up huge fee. "

As mentioned above, Rs. 22, 500/ was not paid before the course but on request only 50% of the fee was paid before the course commenced in January, and the second installment was paid on the completion of the first 25 classes. If all was not well the student had every choice to discontinue after the 25 classes. Since I accept payment only online and insist on the screen shot of the transactions made by the students I have both the receipts with me. The worksheets shared with the tudents have been designed by very senior and international German experts and are available on the internet. I have been using these sheets since year 2000. Students and teachers find these sheets extremely useful. The 50 hour long course which is normally completed within 2 and a half months can not possibly be extended indefinitely. Almost 2 week long absence due to the medical condition of the spuse and then the child was readily accepted by the trainer but birthday celebrations of child, nephew, then airport duty for a relative, no internet at home etc reasons became difficult to accept. As a professional, a lady is not bound to take abusive calls, threatening faul language. All such filthy messages on Skype, Whats App have been forwarded to Urban Pro and the Employer company of the student, who promptly informed me that the said person lo longer works for them. In the last 4 months my students Dr Sandesh has cleared C1 exam with 79%, SwarnaB1 Subhadarshini B1, Harcharan A2, Vani B1.

"I took the online B2 level German classes with Kalayani ma'am. The classes were very informative and most difficult topics were dealt with in a simple way. Ma'am was always approachable for clearing doubts which arise while learning. All four parts of the exam were covered effectively and was able to clear Goethe Zertifikat B2 with 81.5 marks. Online classes were fun and very flexible. I would definitely recommend Kalyani ma'am to anyone looking to learn German."
Sayantika Bhattacharya
"I have completed A1 and A2 classes with Mrs. Madan. It was a wonderful experience. It helped me successfully pass the Goethe A2 certification. I am now having classes for B1 with her. Her way of explaining grammar is excellent and easy to remember. "
Sandesh D
"I took online B1 level classes from Kalyani Ma'am and cleared the exam with Sp:71 Sch:74 H: 83 L:87.I would like to thank ma'am and would definitely continue with her for further levels. Despite the time restrictions I had,all the topics were dealt with. She quick to spot the areas I was weak at during our few initial classes and helped me improve. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to learn Deutsch. "
Madhuri
"I have done from A1 to B2 level with Kalyani mam. She is very warm friendly and very approachable. She supported and encouraged me from the very beginning day of our course and also at times when I felt very down and today I successfully completed my B2 with good marks all because of the great support and patience of my mam. I will definitely recommend Kalyani mam for anyone starting with their German language journey. "
Madhuri
"Kalyani mam is a perfect person for someone who is looking for German Language. Her teaching method and command of subject is remarkable. She takes good care of Grammar and Vocabulary. She is very patient friendly and encouraging. He considered my problems and was flexible enough so I can take it at my pace. I appeared for A2 on December 4th and successfully cleared it 88 marks. Thanks a lot to mam for her moral support and i would surely recommend this mam to anyone who want to learn German. "

"Kalyani Mam is a very proficient Teacher. She is excellent with Grammar & can explain the complex topics in very simple manner. She involves deeply & makes sure that the student can understand the topics well. I would definitely recommend her for German language! "
Deepthi
"I have completed till A2 level with Ms. Kalyani Madan. I need to finish my A2 level to apply for the German University of my choice and she helped me in clearing the A2 level even less than the usual intended time. She gave me a number of practice exercises especially in my weak areas. In the class I was taught not only the language but also the culture and way of life in Germany. It helped me a lot to settle down in Germany. "
Amol Gupta
"Kalyani mam is one of the few teachers who offer German Teaching online through Skype very professionally. Unlike many other Teachers she is fully devoted to teaching German as a full time job. She had been teaching earlier at IIT Kanpur too. I had done classes with her earlier at B1 level and recently again at B2 level and have been very satisfied with the experience. "
Amol Gupta
"I had done classes with Kalyani Mam earlier and recently did more at B2 Level. As always I found Kalyani mam totally committed to teaching German and ensuring that only I understand German well but also understand the nuances of living in the country. She teaches German as a full time job. She is among the very few teachers who can make it work on Skype and online. She has been a German Teacher at IIT Kanpur. I found her teaching style very professional given the constraints of teaching online. "
Amol Gupta
"Kalyani Mam is one of the best German teachers one can get. And she teaches online over Skype(one to one training, personal attention). This is particularly suitable for professionals deployed onsite or those who do not wish to/ can not study in a traditional classroom. She charges very reasonable rates for her excellent German training. She is also a wonderful mentor and an awesome person. She is very patient and can find out your flaws and learning issues and can help you overcome them on a case to case basis. She definitely has a lot of experience behind her. She would allow you to attend a demo before payment in which not only you can experience her teaching style but she also assesses your current level. I would definitely recommend her to a German learner any day ! "
Asha
"Last week I completed a 2 month B1 level course with Ms Kalyani Madan having studied up to A2 by myself. She was quick to spot the areas where I needed improvement and was ever kind and encouraging. My knowledge of grammar went up markedly and her excellent knowledge of the language as it is authentically spoken made a world of difference. Today the results I received on the B1 exam Hoeren 74, Lesen 90, Schreiben 94 & Sprechen 98 are testimony to her excellent skills as a teacher and I wholeheartedly recommend her. "
