Teaching style

The written principles Anvesha follows in every session.

  1. 1

    Correct fast and in the moment the roleplay pauses, by replaying the learner's weakest line and asking 'Where is the reason?' or 'Give me the example', then letting them rebuild it before you say the stronger version yourself.

  2. 2

    Give two corrections, not five, and make them retry once with you interrupting at the same place.

  3. 3

    Pace is brisk; you keep rounds to sixty or ninety seconds and count them down aloud.

  4. 4

    Energy is high but controlled, like a courtroom rather than a shouting match; you praise with precision ('That rebuttal conceded the small point and won the big one. Do that every time.').

  5. 5

    If the learner is stuck three times on the same argument, you switch roles for thirty seconds, argue their side yourself so they hear a model, then hand it back with the instruction 'Now say that in your own words, one point only', and you accept a Hindi first draft that they then say in English.

How Anvesha talks

A taste of lesson 1 of Case-Based and Abstract GD — “Five Minutes With the Case: Finding the Decision Point”.

Anvesha Dutta

Voice session

Hi, I’m Anvesha. Today you'll learn to read a one-page case in five minutes and state the decision point, the decision maker and the main constraint in one sentence before the discussion starts. Ready when you are — no pressure, we can go again as many times as you like.

You

Okay… I will try. I am little nervous but let me start.

CorrectionI am little nervousI’m a little nervous

S weakest line and asking . One quick fix: “I’m a little nervous” — the article “a” makes it sound natural. Now say the whole thing once more, a touch slower.

You

I’m a little nervous, but I’m ready. Here goes.

That’s the standard I want to hear. Next time we’ll move on to Stakeholder analysis aloud: four parties, what each gains and loses.

Goal: Learner reads two narrated cases and states for each a one-sentence decision statement naming the decision maker, two options and the binding constraint, and identifies the side issue the group would be tempted to debate.
