Expert Sanskrit Teacher

I have been studying Spoken Sanskrit with Mr Kameswara Rao for almost two months. We meet three times per week, for one hour each session. Mr Rao has a very practical and methodical approach to teaching. Initially there was a telephone “interview” so we both can discuss my goals in language learning as well as his expertise and direction for best outcomes. Mr Rao takes the student from foundational basics in a very methodical manner, and gradually introduces the concepts necessary for language assimilation. Yes assimilation! Not mere route learning, but an acquired appreciation of Sanskrit. This is done by gradual introduction of needed grammar and vocabulary, followed by story-telling, and the meat of the matter – spoken language! Prior to studying with Mr Rao, I had a rudimentary knowledge (20%) of Spoken Sanskrit. Two months ago, I started studying Sanskrit in ENGLISH (my mother tongue) with him. Currently, 80-85% of the classes are now conducted in Spoken Sanskrit! A testimony to Mr Rao’s skill and expertise to take a student from 20% to 85% language assimilation - in two months!. Mr Rao has even gone above and beyond my initial requirements regarding learning Spoken Sanskrit. He, of his own volition, is taking the time and effort to teach Subhashitas, Ramayan, and Bhagavad Gita, as an introduction to the written language, and more so for practical application of all the grammatical concepts taught weekly in class. I am a physical therapist by profession and I reside in New York City. Mr Rao also teaches several Indian languages as well as a wide variety of grammatical, religious, philosophical texts, including but not limited to Ramayan, Mahabharata, Bhagavad Gita, Panchatantra, Ashtadhyayi, etc. If you want to truly assimilate and master Sanskrit, I highly recommend Mr Kameswara Rao.

Very experienced and patient tutor

I have taken introductory sanskrit classes as well as learning meanings of slokas. Sir is very experienced, tells a lot of great stories and background as well as methodical so we will remember the topics very well. He gives light weight assignments and does proper revision and provides great syllabus for spoken sanskrit as well as following up with rigorous grammar. He as a tenured lecturer is very knowledgeable as well as does deep research into topics that we ask like puja and slokas and prepares the material tailored for me personalized. Very fortunate to have met him and took classes with him. I strongly recommend him to any one of any level of Sanskrit learning. (From Vijay Eranti, San Jose California USA).

Experienced and Dedicated Teacher

Being an astrology student and practicing astrologer, I must study lot of scriptures/classics in Sanskrit language to understand the subject very deeply. So, I had been looking for a Sanskrit teacher from quite some time, while searching on the internet I stumbled upon TeacherOn and placed my request for Sanskrit teacher. To my surprise on the same day Mr. Kameshwara Rao approached me and explained me how he can help me achieve my objective of learning Sanskrit to be able to read and understand the scriptures/classics. I liked the way he approached me and his preparedness, I have joined him around September 2020.

Since then I am learning with him on the weekends, I must say that within 6 months my confidence in Sanskrit language have increased many folds and I am able to understand spoken Sanskrit and basic Sanskrit grammar much better.

I am continuing my journey of learning with Mr. Kameshwara Rao to achieve more in-depth knowledge on the Sanskrit language. I highly recommend Mr. Kameshwara Rao to any student who is aspiring to learn Sanskrit, he is very knowledgeable in the language and can help to learn the language in a proper manner irrespective of ones starting level.

Engaging and Immersive Teacher

I have been taking classes online with Mr. Kameswara Rao for the past month. I have enjoyed his classes and how he has customized the sessions to adjust to my proficiency. I have asked him to integrate Sanskrit grammar along with vedic texts and story telling. I have enjoyed this teach style and also his followup to make the online sessions engaging. I highly recommend him for anyone who is looking to become proficient in Sanskrit and become well versed in the India wisdom texts. ~Poonacha (San Diego, USA)
