Meet Amruta Sameer Kulkarni
Mandarin Chinese Educator. Chinese Language & Culture.
学而时习之
“Learn, and practise what you have learned.”
Amruta Sameer Kulkarni has spent more than two decades in education. That experience shapes how she teaches Mandarin: clear explanations, steady practice and close attention to each learner's progress.
Her interest in Chinese language and culture led her to study Mandarin and earn the HSK Level 3 certificate. Having worked through the language herself, she understands what beginners in India find difficult, from the four tones to the first hundred characters, and how to make each step manageable.
She teaches independently, so the person you speak to when you enquire is the person who teaches you.
- An experienced educator
- More than twenty years in teaching means lessons are paced, explained and checked the way good teaching should be.
- HSK Level 3 certified
- Amruta holds the HSK Level 3 certificate from the internationally recognised Chinese proficiency test.
- Individual attention
- You learn with Amruta herself, not a rotating team. She notices what you find difficult and adjusts.
- Beginner-friendly structure
- Tones, Pinyin, characters and grammar are introduced in a sensible order, so nothing feels overwhelming.
What you'll learn
Each area is paired with a Chinese word that captures it. Lessons combine them around your goals, from your first tone to HSK levels 1–3.
- 初
Mandarin for beginners
A calm first step into Mandarin: greetings, numbers, everyday words and the sounds of the language, with no prior knowledge assumed.
- 说
Spoken Mandarin
Practical conversation for real situations. Listening and speaking practice built around common expressions and short dialogues.
- 音
Pinyin and pronunciation
Mandarin's four tones and the Pinyin romanisation system, taught carefully so that what you say is understood.
- 写
Chinese reading and writing
How characters are built, how to write them in the right stroke order, and how to start recognising them in short texts.
- 词
Grammar and vocabulary
Progressive foundations: word order, measure words, time expressions and the vocabulary that lets you say more each week.
- 考
HSK learning pathways
Lessons aligned with the HSK proficiency levels for learners who want a recognised goal, from first level up to HSK 3.
- 文化
Chinese culture
Festivals, customs, etiquette and the stories behind everyday expressions, woven into lessons so language and context grow together.
