• Parlez-vous couramment cette langue en raison de vos origines ou parce qu'un professeur vous a donné envie de l'apprendre ?

  Yes, I speak English fluently because of my origin. Thanks to this fact, I teach my students how to convey the meaning to other people in the best way possible - both writing and speaking.

• Citez le personnage vivant, historique ou fictif qui est, selon vous, le représentant emblématique de la culture en question !

  If it's my culture , Indian, I would like to take the example of Mahatma Gandhi who not only taught us to avoid violence but also taught us to consider all persons as one irrespective of their nationalities, cultures etc because at the end of the day, we all are human beings:
  For french culture, I had the privilege to read some of the works of René Descartes in ESSEC Business School. I am amazed by his knowledge of various fields starting from philosophy to science. I think he represents very well the diversity present in the great french culture:

• Y-a-t-il, dans celle-ci, un mot, une expression, une tradition ou un comportement typique qui vous amuse particulièrement ?

  I love the phrase - I have to do it and I will do it- I motivate my students using this phrase. This will help the students to accept the challenge and at the same time give them confidence to conquer it.

• En quoi savoir parler cette langue est important, que ce soit scolairement, professionnellement ou d'un point de vue plus personnel ?

  It's extremely important to master English or any other language.
  
  Academically: English is the most used language worldwide for academics. In today's world, international experience is pivotal to build up your profile. Therefore, it's important to master English so that you can get the best experience and learnings without the language understanding problem.
  
  Professionally: Today, all companies want to increase their productivity and innovation by integrating multicultural teams. The fact that diversity increases the productivity of the companies is well proven. Hence, its extremely important to master the English language.
  
  Personal: A study suggests that polyglots have the better ability to manage stress than other people. On a personal level, you will not only develop yourself stronger but also learn a lot of good things about other cultures easily.

• Quelle est la difficulté principale de cette langue et ce qui peut favoriser son apprentissage ?

  Like most of the languages, the main difficulty to learn English is the vocabulary and the understanding about how to structure a sentence. After working on these two steps a little, we have to train our mind to think in this language so that we can speak English spontaneously. If i get the second part of the question correct - here is my view:) On the top of the courses about grammar and vocabulary, passive learning can be a big game changer and the students should focus on a single theme at a time - for example work.interviews, casual speaking etc. So, I suggest my students to listen to specific podcasts, read interesting articles about the topic they are interested in.

• Une anecdote en rapport avec votre métier ou votre scolarité à nous raconter ?

  I am teaching students GMAT English and Quant so I will take an example from when I was learning french language though I have a lot of other anecdotes.
  
  When I came to France for the first time, I was totally zero in French. I talked to some of my seniors and everyone told me it's very difficult to learn French. I still remember one of the statements told by my senior ''Look at me, I am here since 4 years and I am still zero in french. You will have too much work in the school and then you have to start looking for an internship. So, you will not get time to learn it" But I really wanted to learn the language since I knew that it's impossible to learn about the great french culture without learning french. Hence I decided to take the advice of one of my professors. She made a strong plan for me but the challenge was that I need to follow that plan for approximately 1 year. But I managed somehow to stick to it and today I speak perfect french. The learning from this story is that you need both motivation and right direction to succeed.

• Qu'est-ce qui fait de vous un Superprof, en + de cette capacité à s'exprimer en plusieurs langues ?

  I teach students about the GMAT exam. I have already given it to get into one of the best grande-écoles in France. What makes me a superprof here is I already know what kind of problems students face on the top of reading books and getting answers correct in the exam upto the end of their applications to the business schools. Moreover, some bad experiences of me with some average professors taught me what students expect from their professors.
  
  Regarding the language, I know how to learn a language since I learnt french and now I am learning spanish. What do you need exactly to master a language. Native professors can't explain the subtle doubts you have during the preparation. I still remember someone told me "it happens like this in french and i don't know the reason" What makes me a superprof here is the fact that I am a native English speaker but I learnt other languages so I can help my students in the best way possible.
