What time are classes in the USA?

East Coast weekday batches run 6:30 to 8:00 PM Eastern, Central 6:00 to 7:30 PM, and West Coast 6:00 to 7:30 PM Pacific, with Saturday and Sunday morning batches in every zone.

What do classes cost outside India?

Group classes are $30 a month in USA, £25 a month in UK, C$40 a month in Canada, A$45 a month in Australia, AED 110 a month in UAE, S$40 a month in Singapore, €28 a month in Europe. Public speaking costs a little more, and 6-month and yearly plans save up to 15%.

What happens when the clocks change for daylight saving?

We hold your local clock time, not the Indian one. When daylight saving starts or ends, we move the batch on our side so your child’s class stays at the same local time.

My child does not speak any Indian language. Can they still join?

Yes. Classes are taught in English, and shloka classes begin with the sound of each letter, so a child who has never read Devanagari starts on the same footing as everyone else.

Why families abroad choose us

What a recording cannot give your child

Live, never recorded

Camera-on classes with a real mentor who hears your child, not a video your child watches alone.

Pronunciation, corrected

The mentor listens to each child chant and corrects the sound on the spot, which no app or recording can do.

Batches in your time zone

Timings are set in your local clock and held through daylight saving changes, so the slot never quietly moves.

Small groups

Batches stay small, and children abroad often learn alongside others in exactly the same position.
