Class Fees & Pricing

Before your first lesson, we check your audio, camera and screen-sharing with you, and help is on hand if anything goes wrong during a class. The free demo doubles as that check, so you know everything works before you pay for anything.

Every price is for one 60-minute session, and it depends on how many people are in the class. The lowest rate is for a group of four or more, capped at 10 so everyone gets to speak every time. Two or three of you together pays a little more each, and one to one is the highest.

The two prices are not a conversion of each other: each is set for its own market. The India rate is set for what families in India pay for tuition locally. The international rate is set against what live online Hindi and Sanskrit tutors charge outside India, typically between $10 and $40 an hour for one to one; ours is $12, at the lower end of that, and less again in a group. Which rate applies depends on where the student lives, not nationality.

Everything else is identical: Ms. Parikh teaches every class herself, with the same 60-minute live sessions, the same materials and the same small groups.

Two ways to make it lighter:

• Learning with others brings the rate down: $9 each for two or three students, and $7 each for four or more (siblings or friends count).
• A second subject is 15% off.

And the first class is free, so you can see whether it is right before paying anything.

Yes. Ms. Parikh has taught Hindi for IGCSE (Cambridge), IB, CBSE and ICSE. For the IB Diploma Programme that covers Hindi A, Hindi B and Hindi ab initio, at both Standard and Higher Level. She also supports School-Supported Self-Taught students whose school does not offer Hindi, a route that usually requires the family to find their own tutor.

Because so much of Hindi grammar comes straight from Sanskrit. Sandhi, samas, tatsam and tadbhav words, upsarg and pratyay, these are the parts of the school syllabus where most marks are lost, and they are Sanskrit rules underneath. Ms. Parikh holds an MA (Acharya) in Sanskrit, so she can explain where a rule comes from instead of asking students to memorise it.

Yes. You pay for sessions before they are taught, in blocks, and there is no minimum term and no joining fee. When a block finishes you decide whether to carry on. If you stop with sessions still unused, those are refunded or credited, whichever you prefer.

After your free demo class, not before. Once we have agreed the right level and a timetable that works, Ms. Parikh sends the payment details directly. Students in India usually pay by UPI; international students by card or bank transfer. There is nothing to pay on this website, and nothing is charged until you have taken the demo and decided to go ahead.

You pay for a block of sessions before they are taught, so you can stop at the end of any block simply by not booking the next one. Sessions already taught are not refunded, because the free first class lets you judge the teaching before any money changes hands. Unused sessions are refunded or credited.
