Planetspark Review – Rishabh Parents

1. Planetspark Review – Rishabh Parents

2. PlanetSpark gave us great hope when we were about to give up on our son's dreams. My 15-year-old son Rishabh looks a lot like his father, and as he grew up, he wanted to be like his father, Brajesh, a business analyst in branch of a top Telecom company located in Bangalore, where we live. Although he is 15, he has already decided in his heart that he will join the BBA program to get a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, and he has been preparing very much for it. He also planned that after completing the Bachelor of Business Administration(BBA), he would get a Master of Business Administration (MBA) as he was intent on being at the top of his field. As I am always at home, I make sure to support and help him as much as I can. He has been making progress. However, he found it difficult to communicate, and he had to deal with this stumbling block. Communication skills were highly rated during interviews and group discussions in the BBA program.

3. My Rishabh is brilliant and a quick learner, but when it came to communicating in English, there was usually a problem. He understood English, but he was not fluent in speaking it. He wanted to go to one of those top schools where speaking in English was needed, so he needed to develop on that. I was not very fluent in English myself, and so just like him, I would often mix up my English and Hindu. Brajesh, who could have been of great help, was hardly at home because he traveled a lot for work, so Rishabh and I were mainly alone at our house. Brajesh also noticed his difficulty in communicating in English, and he tried to be of help whenever he came home, but it was not enough.

4. Rishabh began to take it upon himself to speak only in English, but that was hard because when he couldn't find the right words to use, he got very frustrated, and sometimes, he acted out. One time, I had offered to be his audience while he explained his assignment to me in English, and not even two sentences in, he was a blubbering mess, trying to figure out which word to use and stop the Hindu words from coming out. When I saw how much this was taking a toll on him, I decided to speak to his teacher in school, Ms Uma. She acknowledged that this was a general problem in school, and the school head was thinking of adding some more courses to the curriculum to help the student improve. Although she had assured me that my son would improve his communication, that wasn't forthcoming, so I decided to use a different means.

5. Sonam, our neighbour's daughter, who was very reserved and didn't like talking to anyone, had attended a class that had helped her come out of her shell, which impressed anyone. I asked Mrs Shukla, her mother, what lessons she had taken and if they could help my son, too, even though his problem was different. And that was the first time I heard aboutPlanetSpark. Mrs Shukla showed me the PlanetSpark Review that convinced her to enrol her child in the program, but it was not enough to win me over. She showed me more, and when I saw more cases like Rishabh's, I had hope. I told Brajesh about this, and I also showed him some of the PlanetSpark Reviews Mrs Shukla had sought out for me because Brajesh is not easily convinced; he thought it a good idea and enrolled Rishabh in it. When contemplating which program to choose, Brajesh decided that it was best to go all the way, and so he signed our son up for the 165 class excellence program to ensure overall development.

6. A PlanetSpark Reviews from a parent spoke very highly of Miss Shivani, and although we couldn't pick who our son's teacher would be, we hoped to get someone like her. Miss Shivaniwas the teacher Rishabh got on PlanetSpark. I must say, she was charming indeed. She told us that Rishabh struggled to communicate in English because he didn't know many English words. When she said that, I became highly optimistic because she had first found out the root of my son's problem, like one parent mentioned in the PlanetSpark Reviews I read. Now that we knew the problem, it was easy to find the solution. To help my son build his English vocabulary, Miss Shivanibegan recommending books written in English to him. Although they were a little below his age standard, I understood it was all the process. She advised him to write down any word he could not understand, learn how to spell it, and find out what it meant. During some classes, she dictated some new terms to help him get better.

7. Miss Shiva's effort paid off. We got a call from his school, and they complimented us on our son's improvement and how he was one of the few kids who spoke English fluently in school. His teacher selected him to represent the school in a debate competition. The debate was supposed to be totally in English, and although my son was nervous, after just one session with Miss Shiva, he was excited to go for the debate. His father and I went to watch him speak. He did so great that he came home with the silver medal.

8. With all the past effort Rishabh has put into passing the interviews he will have before starting, and during his BBA and MBA, we already knew that half of the work was done, and he was set for success on this path. And now that his communication skills have improved, we know nothing is holding him back, and we hope to see him excel in his BBA interviews and group discussions when the time comes. However, I wish more grammar activities were added to the curriculum. Rishabh is a fast learner, and he always wants to learn, so I would like this to be an avenue to widen his scope of English vocabulary. Also, since I helped him with studying a lot, I noticed that he loved my involvement with his lessons, and when I spoke in English, he got excited and wanted to know more. In a way, his progress spurs me to broaden my knowledge of English vocabulary so I can keep up with him. Still, I was wondering if more activities that involved his father and I could be brought up to put him more in the mood for learning.
