Grammar is explained from its source. An MA in Sanskrit, which is where Hindi grammar comes from, means accuracy at HL is built on understanding rather than recall.
What the teaching covers
Every programme begins with a diagnostic against the current mark scheme, usually a past paper or a recent piece of school coursework, marked as an examiner would mark it. The plan is built from that; these are the frameworks.
How progress is measured
Small batches mean every student's work is actually seen. Nothing here is automated. Ms. Parikh marks it herself.
Nothing here is a surprise on results day. This is how progress is measured, and how often.
| What | How often | What it checks |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic | Session 1 | Current band against the real criteria, from a past paper or recent school coursework |
| Written task | Weekly | Marked to the band descriptors, with the gap to the next band named |
| Oral practice | Fortnightly, recorded | Fluency, structure, response to questions |
| Text-type test | Per text type | Conventions, register, audience |
| Full past paper | Monthly in the exam year | Timing and total score |
| Mock examination | Twice in the final year | Full conditions, full script review |
| Progress report | Monthly | Written, with the predicted-grade trajectory |
What you receive: criteria-mapped notes for every assessed component, model answers at each band, text-type conventions sheets, notes on the prescribed works for HL and Hindi A, an Individual Oral preparation pack, Learner Portfolio templates, past papers with mark schemes and examiner-style commentary, every piece of written work back marked band by band, and recordings of every practised oral.
What it costs
One price for one hour of live teaching. It comes down as the group grows.
Sold in blocks of 12 hours, for as long as it is needed, alongside school
You pay for the hours you take, one stage at a time, and nothing commits you to the rest. The hours are a guide rather than a fixed track: if one part of the course matters more to you, we spend longer there and move more briskly elsewhere. You can also join at whichever stage matches where you already are.
| What you buy | Hours | On your own | Two or three, each | Four or more, each |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One block of 12 hours One to one is the usual choice here | 12 | ₹8,748 $324 | ₹5,508 $216 | ₹4,188 $192 |
That is simply the hours added up, at ₹349 an hour per person in India, or $16 outside India, in a group of four or more.
One session is one hour, so the hours above are also the number of classes. There is no second number to work out. Every session is live, and taught by Ms. Parikh herself. Tuition is not recorded, so if a class is missed a compensation class is arranged instead. Worksheets, marked work and a certificate of completion are included. How often you meet is arranged with you, around your timetable and ours. Individual IB tutors commonly charge several times this. A group here is ₹349 in India or $16 outside India, per person, per hour. Two or three classes a week in the exam term or for self-taught students; how often you meet is arranged with you.

Start with a free class, and bring marked work
A free session, live, at no cost. Bring a recent piece of marked school work or a past-paper attempt: a real diagnostic against the actual criteria is worth more than any conversation about approach. Nothing is paid until after it.
