Vaishnavi Kishore
IGCSE HINDI
Being a person with a deep rooted interest in languages, Vaishnavi is enthralled teaching the IGCSE Hindi course at TestPrep, and hopes to ignite the same passion for the subject in all the students! Having once been mortified at the very thought of the subject herself, she understands the concerns that some of you may have about scoring in IGCSE Hindi, and can assure you that you are in great hands! When not studying, you can find Vaishnavi with her nose buried in a book, capturing sunsets on her camera or deciding what to wear for dandiya night. She can’t wait to share this course with you, and hopes that you find it useful and enjoyable!
Shrutikhaa Katakam
IGCSE BIOLOGY
Being an ardent lover of biology has never been easy and dealing with the vastness of the subject has really been a pain to almost everyone. But being a guitarist, dancer, artist and tennis player, she has learnt that time management is essential. Shrutikhaa has made it her goal to ensure that mitochondria aren’t the only things associated with biology and wants the other cell organelles to be recognised just as much as the powerhouse. She aims to make all students develop a genuine passion for the subject and appreciate nature and its intricacies. Having put in her blood (figuratively), sweat (definitely) and tears (maybe) into this course, she looks forward to easing your journey through IGCSE biology and would love to help you get that A* :)

IGCSE GP & ECONOMICS
Pragyan is a diligent and adaptable 16 year old who already regrets growing up and having to take up IB. If he isn’t investing his precious time in playing sports, gaming, rewatching peaky blinders or chatting with his friends on Houseparty you are likely to find him debating over popular and controversial topics. He is delighted to be an instructor and hopes that his guidance can help fellow students excel during their time as students of IGCSE Economics & Global Perspective.

Sanjana Jeksani
IGCSE ENGLISH LITERATURE
IGCSE Literature can leave you jumping through hoops and loops trying to accurately satisfy the dreaded marking bands for getting that desirable A*. From my own experiences of analysing and commentating on the curriculum's notorious literary texts, I can offer a personalised and unique perspective of how to answer open-ended questions and genuinely understanding how to address more atypical themes of texts.
Trivikram Pattnayak
IGCSE FRENCH
Having only spent a few years with French, it is Trivikram’s love for foreign cultures and languages that has spurred his interest and skills in French. Of course, French has been one of the biggest challenges in his academic path, but that is what has motivated him to pursue French and excel in it. Trivikram has spent a considerable amount of time with fellow peers as a tutor and believes that he has a very unique and eccentric (take this positively!) style of teaching. When designing this course, he has taken quite an effort to account for issues which might be faced in learning this language, and promises to show you a side of French away from baguettes and le Tour Eiffel in this innovatively designed course!
Aksh Sharma
IGCSE BIOLOGY
IGCSE was nothing short of a rocky adventure and biology just added fuel to the fire. Nevertheless, biology has always fascinated Aksh, ranging from the microscopic organelles of cells to the largest biological forms present. However vast the subject may be, there is always a unique element that makes you fall in love with the topic and Aksh hopes to instil that love in every biology student, for where there lies no interest, lies no hope.
Snehal Bhadani
IGCSE HINDI
When Snehal isn’t mulling over which filter to edit her pictures with, she is probably busy thinking of a caption for the same picture! Apart from photography, she is also deeply passionate about calligraphy, dance and languages. Her passion for Hindi motivated her to help build this course for you! Ironically, she claims that if she hadn’t been living outside India, she might never have developed a love for Hindi. Absence does make the heart grow fonder. Her passion for this language may manifest in any form, but mostly it includes jamming to Bollywood music every second of her free time. She is immensely grateful to be a part of this team, and thrilled to share these courses with you! :)
Ahana Banerjee
IGCSE ENGLISH LANGUAGE & BIOLOGY
Being someone who is filled with inquisitions about human physiology, which is what led to her interest in the subject of biology, Ahana is ecstatic to be able to help students garner their own interest in the subject. From fantasising over the structure of kidneys to scrutinizing the internal mechanism of DNA, she can provide you with tricks and tips for getting all the concepts clear in your head and getting those mitochondria of your brain cells working. When she’s not gleefully cramming her head with obscure knowledge about kidneys nobody wants to know, she can be found with her head buried in a book, or busy catching fishes in Animal Crossing.
Ishita Agrawal
IGCSE HINDI
Upon learning that the IGCSE exams had been cancelled due to Covid-19, Ishita knew that she had to utilise the knowledge she had gained from the 3yr course, one last time. She believed that by being a TestPrep Tutor and helping other students achieve their academic goals, she would be able to properly mark the end of IGCSE. Hindi being a language close to her heart and culture, motivated her to create a course that reflects her passion for the subject! Her daily routine of Netflix + coffee = her being overly enthusiastic about EVERYTHING, especially being a part of this team!

Purujit engages in public speaking, writing and debating and has developed critical and logical thinking along his ways. The amount of time he invested into the three courses during the lockdown giving up on his Netflix time is definitely worth looking into.

I aim to make your journey as excited and enriching for TestPrep International as I am!
Urvi Sanyal
IGCSE ENGLISH LITERATURE
Although initially confused and lost Urvi’s love for literature was born over the years of her IGCSE course. When introduced, the subject may have seemed troublesome and difficult to understand but it provided an opportunity to hear and share thoughts and perceptions as answers on the discussed topics rather than having a set answer for each question. The subject also may prove to be a form of entertainment and joy for some rather than something they have to trudge through to pass. To conclude, Urvi hopes the courses prepared by TestPrep assists students with any issues they face while dealing with IGCSE subjects and answers any questions they may have!

Chandrika Panse
IGCSE ICT
A forever stressed IB student who purely applied to this course for CAS credits but then later got too dedicated and prepared extensive notes for future students so that they don't have to go through the same misery as me. I like reading, like a lot, and writing poetry and at the same time I like to play basketball and badminton; so there's a mix of different aesthetics. Lastly, may the IGCSE gods bless you with lower grade boundaries.
