Welcome to Dr. Sonia Sharma’s Academy
Do you want to study Hindi, one of the most spoken languages in the world? Whether you are in New York, somewhere else in the US, or prefer taking online courses, our Hindi language classes will suit you.
Hello, I am Dr. Sonia Sharma (formerly Taneja). I received my Bachelor of Arts from Barnard College, Columbia University, Master of Education from Teachers College, Columbia University and Doctorate degree in Leadership from American College of Education. I have 20 years of professional teaching experience from prestigious and world-renowned universities such as Stanford University, University of California at Berkeley, and Columbia University in the City of New York and higher education institutions such as the Defense Language Institute, part of the US Department of Defense.
It is through knowing Hindi that one gets to know India’s rich culture, literature, and history. Our Hindi classes cater to all levels, whether you are just starting out as a beginner or looking to polish up your skills. This is possible since our experienced instructors make the learning of Hindi a two-way experience.
At Dr. Sonia Sharma Academy, our mission has always been rooted in inclusivity, accessibility and cultural connection. That mission extends further than ever—across state lines and international borders—through our dynamic online Hindi classes. Whether you're a heritage learner reconnecting with your roots, a professional looking to enhance your linguistic skill set or someone passionate about learning new languages, you can now learn Hindi online from anywhere in the world.
The decision to offer online Hindi classes was a natural extension of our core belief: that language should be a bridge, not a barrier. For too long, high-quality Hindi instruction has been difficult to access for those living outside major metropolitan areas. At Dr. Sonia Sharma Academy, we’re changing that narrative. Our virtual Hindi learning programs bring the richness of India’s language and culture into homes across the globe, without compromising on the attention or authenticity that define our in-person instruction.
Through thoughtfully designed online sessions, students receive immersive, interactive instruction that mirrors the classroom experience—complete with personalized attention, cultural insights and real-time engagement with the teacher and other students. The digital format not only supports flexibility for busy schedules but also eliminates the geographic restrictions that once limited access to native-level instruction.
Dr. Sonia Sharma founded this academy with a clear vision: to nurture a deeper understanding of Hindi and its cultural significance in a way that is accessible to everyone. By removing physical barriers, our online Hindi classes amplify that mission, helping students form meaningful connections with a language spoken by over 600 million people worldwide.
Every class, whether in-person or virtual, is designed not just to teach Hindi grammar and vocabulary, but to instill cultural appreciation. We go beyond textbooks by incorporating Hindi literature, poetry, media, music and real-life dialogue—elements that bring our Hindi language programs to life and root it in broader cultural context. Online learning allows us to share these elements with an even broader audience, making it possible to build a truly global community of Hindi speakers.
Our virtual classrooms are as diverse as the language itself. We welcome students of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels—including elementary Hindi students to advanced. Among our most engaged learners are:
No matter the motivation, each student finds a supportive, intellectually rich environment where their goals are understood and nurtured.
Online learning is more than a convenient option—it’s a powerful platform for building bridges. At Dr. Sonia Sharma Academy, we view virtual instruction as an opportunity to foster unity through shared culture and history. Our online Hindi classes are attended by students from across the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia and the world. In each session, a unique exchange occurs—not just between teacher and student, but among classmates whose diverse backgrounds enrich the learning experience.
This global classroom reinforces our core values: accessibility, inclusivity, and a commitment to meaningful cultural education. Every Hindi lesson is a step toward building a world where Hindi is not just learned but lived—across generations and borders.
Dr. Sonia Sharma brings decades of expertise in teaching, curriculum development and media engagement to every class offered at the Academy. Her reputation as a cultural ambassador and linguistic expert ensures that students receive the highest caliber of instruction, whether they’re seated in her New York City classroom or joining from halfway across the world.
Join the growing community who is discovering the power of online Hindi classes. Together, we are creating a vibrant, global network rooted in language, culture and connection—without borders. Whether you're looking for structured group lessons or personalized support, working with a Hindi tutor online offers the flexibility and individual attention to help you succeed.

At Dr. Sonia Sharma Academy, we believe learning Hindi should be possible for everyone—no matter your background, location or experience level. That’s why our virtual Hindi classes are built around flexibility, cultural richness and a welcoming approach for adult learners. Whether you're reconnecting with your roots, learning for work or exploring Hindi out of personal interest, our classes are designed with your goals and lifestyle in mind.
Our students come from all walks of life, and each learner’s journey with Hindi is unique. Some are heritage learners—adults who heard Hindi growing up but never learned how to read, write, or speak it fluently. For them, taking our Hindi course offers a meaningful way to reconnect with family, history and identity.
Others are professionals—business leaders, journalists, diplomats or nonprofit workers—who want to communicate more effectively with Hindi-speaking clients, colleagues or communities. They turn to us for serious, skill-building instruction that fits their demanding schedules.
Many join simply out of cultural curiosity. Language enthusiasts, travelers and multicultural families want to experience Hindi through culture, stories and conversation. No matter the reason, our classes offer a supportive place to grow—whether you’re an absolute beginner or already have some experience.
We know that many adults struggle to find time for language learning. Life is busy—between work, family and other commitments, it can feel impossible to commit to a rigid classroom schedule. That’s why our online Hindi classes are built for maximum flexibility. You can learn from home, on your own schedule and at a pace that suits your life.
We also make it easy to join, no matter where you are. As long as you have an internet connection, you can be part of our classroom—from New York City, San Francisco, Toronto or Tokyo. There’s no need to travel or relocate to get high-quality, culturally immersive Hindi instruction.
More importantly, accessibility means welcoming all learners with care and respect. We provide personalized instruction, open communication and a no-judgment environment where questions are encouraged, and progress is celebrated. Our students consistently describe our classes as both challenging and encouraging—a rare combination that supports steady growth.
Our virtual Hindi classes are crafted especially for adults who want serious learning with real-world application. Each class is led live by Dr. Sonia Sharma, an expert in Hindi language education with over 20 years of experience at universities including Stanford and Columbia. She knows what it takes to help adult learners succeed.
From your very first Hindi fluency course, you’ll explore more than just vocabulary and grammar. You’ll be immersed in Hindi as it’s spoken in real life—through film, poetry, conversation, music, history and more. This isn’t just academic study. It’s cultural connection.
Whether you want to hold a conversation with your grandparents, navigate a business trip to Delhi or understand the lyrics of your favorite Bollywood song, you’ll find lessons that are relevant, engaging and practical.
You don’t need to have any prior knowledge of Hindi to join. Our virtual classes serve everyone from total beginners to advanced Hindi speakers looking to for Hindi reading and writing classes. We place learners in small groups that match their level and interests, ensuring a better classroom experience for all.
Our students come from a wide variety of backgrounds—different age groups, professions and life stories. What they share is a desire to learn Hindi in a way that is meaningful, respectful and enriching. We honor that goal in every lesson.

Sonia Ji is an incredible Hindi instructor. Her multifaceted teaching methods, patience with students, and expertise make her uniquely equipped to teach students Hindi. With her support, I developed proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking, as well as knowledge in Indian culture and heritage. I’m so grateful that Sonia Ji was my Hindi teacher!
At the Defense Language Institute, I had the amazing opportunity of being a student of Ms. Sharma. Her dedication to teaching and above-average qualities are endless. During the time I have known and worked with her, Ms. Sharma displayed excellent teaching abilities.
Dr. Sharma was habitually well-prepared for class and had ready multiple engaging exercises and activities that emphasized speaking, reading, writing, and listening equally…always made certain that each member of the class clearly understood them…would split the class into small groups and provide us with a topic to discuss that was relevant to the day’s lessons…made sure that the classroom environment was welcoming and non-judgmental.
Professor Sharma’s way of teaching combines hard skills as a researcher and problem-solver along with the soft skills of someone who brings purpose to their work, which results in a truly immersive way to learn the Hindi language that is both accessible and rewarding.
Sonia Sharma is an excellent coach and speaker who has a lot to offer in areas of self-healing, personal development, and handling situations of life with grace. She is also a well-known author and teacher who has been interviewed on radio, TV, YouTube and journals of international repute.
Sonia is both a committed and passionate speaker. Interviewing her for ITVGOLD, New York was a source of joy and inspiration.
Thank you for bringing precise, well-researched and meaningful messages through everyday examples to a global community!
