Its motto is to equip the students with full of confidence, to strengthen the grammar base, and to make them conversant with all fields of English language like writing skills, comprehension, literature, vocabulary, conversation, reading, listening etc.
Sudhir S Padhye graduated from the University of Bombay, Mumbai and is an MBA with distinction from IME, Pune. He had a long banking service in a prime position. He is at present engaged in organizing English coaching classes, mainly for school students and junior college students.
His book, “English Grammar and Writing Skills” is very useful for students, teachers, parents and all learners of English language as such it is very popular not only in India but also in countries other than India.
Innovative methods of teaching English grammar, writing skills, vocabulary and comprehensions have made him unique and popular teacher.
Grammar base enhancement – The theory part is taught first to ensure that each chapter’s ideas and concepts are fully understood by every student. Ample examples and exercises help students build the required confidence. The book English Grammar and Writing Skills is provided free of cost to every student. It contains theory, exercises, and everything essential for SSC and CBSE board examinations.
Writing letters, stories, reports, articles, and appeals is an art, and each student brings a unique style. Proper guidance helps students explore different perspectives, craft strong beginnings and endings, avoid grammatical errors, and use precise language. Activities like the “Tuesday Story,” where students translate a vernacular story into English, help sharpen writing, comprehension, and memory skills.
Comprehension improvement- To comprehend is to understand, in both SSC and CBSE examinations, there are seen and unseen (four and two) passages. It is very important to understand the “subject” of the given passage and to understand the passage in first reading, certainly requires skills and practice. We teach this technique here. What is important, what should be ignored and what should be eliminated is taught by few tests such as ‘Group Vocab Tests’.
Handwriting improvement- The examiner will be happy to read the beautiful handwriting. Students in our class, every day, write one ‘thought/saying’ in the four liner notebooks. The techniques are taught, handwriting examination is conducted once in two months. Similarly, the speed of writing is equally important. One word and its dictionary meanings along with ten, fifteen synonyms are dictated at a speed, we call it as “word of the day”, students are supposed to improve their writing speed and the beauty of the handwriting simultaneously.
Vocabulary improvement- The reading material is supplied to students on the first day. The “vocab test” is held six times in a year, every test is of fifty questions, there are two teams in each batch, questions are orally asked, students are supposed to answer in ten seconds. The two teams compete each other and both teams improve their competence, and enjoy the ‘game’, it’s a win- win game.
Extempore skills refinement- How to stand, how to start, what to do with the hands, how to speak with the body language and facial expression, effective ups and downs in voice tones etc. are the external characteristics, similarly, how to gather adequate points on the given subject, how to elaborate few points and how to end effectively, all these techniques are taught, both theoretically and practically.
Students are divided into teams to analyze lessons and poems, preparing for peer questions on characters, incidents, vocabulary, and deeper meanings. Each team presents before the class to build confidence and presentation skills. Partner conversations, teacher interactions, and group discussions further enhance communication abilities.
Exam techniques development- How to sit, how to hold the writing pad, how to increase the speed of writing, how to complete the paper before time, how to comprehend the given unseen passages, how to write two marks questions, how to score in grammar and writing skills, how to solve activity based questions, all these techniques are systematically taught.
Writing speed amelioration- every day few words and its synonyms are dictated at a certain speed, students are supposed to cope up with the speed, simultaneously students are supposed to take care of the spelling accuracy and beauty of the handwriting. Scratching, overwriting, rubbing, erasing should reduce to zero and should be zero throughout the life, this thought is sowed in the minds of the students at the beginning.
Understanding moral values and behavioral science- What is moral and immoral, what is ethical and unethical, what is social and anti-social, what is right and wrong, what is good and bad, social behavior, manners and etiquettes, the basic concepts and ideology behind it, is all taught very tactfully with ample examples so that the young students will understand its proper spirit.
English is the global language, it is a must to learn and know perfectly about its grammar, writing skills as well as the vocabulary. At the level of std.10th I felt very difficult about the language of English which Padhye sir made it very easy. Explaining everything so that it reaches your brain perfectly, making the difficult grammar part very easy and making us feel comfortable about it is the most favorite thing I loved about sir. The various exercises about writing skills and vocabulary made the class very interesting as well as full of knowledge. Thanks, sir, for everything!
I attended 'Padhye’s Classes' for my 9th & 10th preparations. My experience was truly incredible. I must say, it is because of Padhye sir I have drastically improved my grammatical & comprehension skills. Till today I have a copy of grammar notes provided by sir which has always come handy-also for my 12th boards. The environment here is very much enthusiastic & positive. Special attention is given to every student. Focus is given on even minute details like handwriting and presentation improvement which is very rare. I consider myself lucky to have received such a nice guidance in my formative years.
Hi, I am Mrunmayee Avachat, a proud student of Padhye’s Classes. I passed out in March 2015 scoring 89 marks.
