After 8 Months with PlanetSpark: Ashish Garg on 8 Months of Learning, Challenges, and Growth

Meenakshi has always been academically sound, but expressing herself confidently was an area where she struggled. She hesitated while speaking in class, avoided presenting her thoughts, and often needed time to organize what she wanted to say. We felt an online communication program like PlanetSpark could help, but we also knew online learning comes with its own learning curve.

The first couple of months were mostly smooth, but not flawless. There were days when classes started a bit late due to technical issues. Once, we faced an OTP login problem that caused her to miss part of a session. Another time, there was a sudden teacher change just when Meenakshi had started bonding with her instructor. As parents, that was frustrating. You worry whether your child will have to start over or lose momentum.

These moments are rarely highlighted in overly polished reviews, but they are part of real online learning experiences — and PlanetSpark was no exception.

What made a difference for us was how these concerns were addressed. When we raised the OTP issue, the support team responded promptly and guided us through a resolution. The technical glitches weren’t brushed aside; they were acknowledged. Regarding the teacher change, the team explained the reason and ensured a proper handover. The new teacher took time to understand Meenakshi’s level instead of pushing her ahead blindly.

Over time, these adjustments helped rebuild our confidence in the system.

Around the fourth or fifth month, we started noticing real changes. Meenakshi began speaking with more clarity and less hesitation. She started forming structured responses instead of short, uncertain answers. Even outside class, she became more comfortable explaining her thoughts during family discussions. The progress wasn’t dramatic overnight, but it was consistent — and that consistency mattered more to us.

Looking back now, I understand why many PlanetSpark parent reviews feel balanced rather than extreme. The platform isn’t perfect. There are occasional scheduling issues, teacher transitions, and technical challenges. But there is also effort, follow-up, and a structured approach to communication skills development.

After eight months, I can say our experience fits somewhere in the middle — not flawless, not disappointing. It’s been a journey that required patience from both sides. For parents exploring PlanetSpark online classes, my honest advice would be this: give your child time to settle, raise concerns when they arise, and don’t expect instant transformation.

Communication skills grow gradually.

If you’re willing to stay involved and allow the process to work, PlanetSpark can be a meaningful support in your child’s learning journey. For us, it has been worth continuing — not because everything was perfect, but because growth was real and ongoing.
