A parent may visit any class without announcement.
You do not need to ask permission or provide advance notice. If a teacher felt uncomfortable about this practice, they would not be teaching here.
A free 20-minute assessment. We find where your child actually is, then tell you what we would do about it. No card, no commitment.
Not sure where to start?
Message Kanchan - tell us the class and board, and we'll take it from there.
Ask on WhatsApp - opens WhatsAppSkoolur is a small online tuition service for school students in Class 1 to 10, teaching every main subject across CBSE, ICSE and State boards, anywhere in India and for Indian families living abroad. Classes are live, they run with a matched teacher, and the first one is free. Skoolur itself started in 2026, built on 14+ years of classroom teaching behind it - we would rather say that plainly than pretend to a longer history.
The promise Skoolur makes is narrow and deliberate: we match your child to the right teacher. Not the most famous teacher, not whichever teacher happens to have a free slot on Tuesday - the right one for your child’s class, board and actual difficulty.
That is a less glamorous pitch than a photograph of one charismatic tutor, and we know it. It is also the only version that survives contact with the truth. No single person teaches Class 1 letter sounds and Class 10 trigonometry equally well. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you a personality, and your child will be taught by somebody else anyway.
Tell us your child's class, board and where they are struggling. We put them with a teacher who has taught exactly that, and you meet them in the free assessment before deciding anything.
Beyond simply 'Class 7 Maths'. We need which board you use, which chapters are problematic, whether this began recently or years ago, and whether your child participates in class or stays quiet. A two-minute WhatsApp message supplies everything we require.
Experience teaching Class 9 CBSE Maths doesn't mean suitability for a Class 2 student struggling with phoneme blending. We filter on three criteria—class level, board, and the specific issue—not just one.
It's the real teacher we matched your child with leading the assessment, not a counselor making a sales pitch. You can sit alongside and observe. Nothing costs you, and we won't ask for payment details.
Teachers stay with their group once classes start. Continuity drives most of the value—a teacher who's observed your child over six weeks understands them in ways no handover note conveys.
These are conditions of being on the panel at all, not things we hope for. They are also deliberately about evidence rather than paperwork. A degree certificate tells you what somebody studied; watching them teach a live class tells you whether a nine-year-old will follow them.
The last one matters more than it looks. A teacher who can be reached on WhatsApp between classes is a teacher a parent can ask “is this normal?” without waiting for a scheduled call, and most of the useful conversations happen exactly there.
We do not publish individual teacher profiles or credentials on this site. That is not evasion - it is because the profile you would read is not the thing that decides whether your child improves. The assessment is, and it costs nothing.
Every teacher on the panel has
What we teach
A teacher who has already taught your child’s exact class and board is the thing being promised here. Not a format, not a platform - the person who turns up every week, knows what your child sounded like last week, and is reachable on WhatsApp in between.
This is the first thing we protect and the last thing we would trade. Putting a teacher in front of a class they have not taught before is the easiest money in this business: the hour runs the same length, the fee is the same, and a parent cannot tell from the outside. It is also the exact point at which the thing you paid for stops existing.
When we do not have the right teacher for a child, we say so and ask the family to wait rather than putting them with whoever is free. That is worse for us in the short term. It is not worse for your child.
There is a second reason, and it is about children rather than arithmetic. A child who is behind is usually also embarrassed about being behind. In a batch of five, saying “I did not understand that” is survivable. In a batch of forty, it is not, which is how a small gap in Class 4 becomes a large one by Class 7. Live classes mainly buy your child permission to admit confusion early, and almost everything else follows from that.
Matching is a judgement, and judgements miss. A teacher who is exactly right on paper can turn out to be too brisk for a child who needs a longer pause, or too gentle for a child who responds to being pushed. Neither person has done anything wrong. It is simply a mismatch, and mismatches are ordinary.
What you should do is tell us - in week two, not in month four. Message Kanchan on WhatsApp and say it plainly. You do not need a reason you can defend, and nobody will ask you to justify it or try to talk you out of it. We will move your child to a different teacher.
We would also rather you told us the awkward version: that your child dreads the class, that they have stopped doing the practice tests, that something has gone quiet at home about it. Those are the useful signals, and they arrive far earlier than any test score does.
And if the honest answer is that we are not the right service for your child at all, we will say that too. It has happened, and it will happen again. Book the free assessment and find out at no cost.
Who you are actually talking to
Kanchan handles enquiries, matching and the awkward conversations. Not a call centre, and not a script.
Message on WhatsAppIt is easier to judge a tuition service by what it refuses to do than by what it claims. Here is our list, so you can hold us to it.
You are not handed a list of profiles to browse and rate. Choosing a teacher from a grid of photographs is a job most parents are not equipped to do, and it is our job anyway.
No tutor can genuinely excel at both Class 1 phonics and Class 10 Chemistry. Any organisation claiming this is really promoting a name, yet your child ends up with a different teacher anyway.
If demand grows we open another class or we say no. We do not quietly add chair and hope nobody notices.
No fabricated parent testimonials appear anywhere on this site, and we don't list star ratings in search results we cannot genuinely support. The reviews section makes this explicit.
Being small has costs and we would rather name them than hide them. There are fewer time slots than a large platform offers. Some subject and board combinations we simply do not take on, and we will tell you that instead of improvising. When a batch is full, it is full. If you need a class starting tomorrow at any hour, a bigger service will serve you better and we will say so.
What you get in exchange is that nothing about your child gets lost in a system. The person who matched the teacher is the person you message when something is not working, and the teacher in week twelve is the same one from week one. For most families that trade is worth it. For some it is not, and the free assessment exists precisely so you can find out which you are before any money changes hands.
You can see exactly what we charge on the fees page - all four plans with real numbers, not a form to fill in.
Skoolur started in Bengaluru with in-person classes for younger children, and grew from a plain observation: in a class of forty, a quiet child can go most of a year without being asked a direct question. Not because anyone is careless - because forty is forty. A child who did not follow Tuesday’s lesson has no moment in which to say so, and by the time it shows in a test the gap is three chapters wide.
Weekend online English classes came next, for families outside Bengaluru who wanted the same thing and could not get to a house in HSR Layout. That is the whole origin: not a platform, not an app, a teacher with a small enough group to notice.
We are new, and we would rather say so than imply a history we do not have. There is no “since 2012” on this site, no student count we cannot evidence, and no rating attached to reviews that do not yet exist. What we can point to is the 14 years of classroom teaching behind the matching, and the fact that every price is on the fees page rather than quoted after you enquire.
An adult meets your child on a screen every week. That deserves a clear answer rather than a line in a policy document nobody opens.
You do not need to ask permission or provide advance notice. If a teacher felt uncomfortable about this practice, they would not be teaching here.
Teachers message parents only, using the parent's number. No in-app chat, no direct messaging, no contact between teachers and children outside class.
No child's full name, photograph, school name, date of birth, address or identity document is collected at any point on this website - we only record the class they are enrolled in.
Your child meets the same tutor each week. Using a rotating roster of tutors harms learning and creates safeguarding risks because nobody is accountable for understanding what occurred before.
According to India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, anyone under 18 is considered a child, and verifiable consent from a parent or legal guardian is mandatory before processing the child's data. This is why we request that contact comes from the parent, not the student.
Message Kanchan on WhatsApp and everything we hold is removed. No retention argument, no form, no waiting period.
The full detail is in the privacy policy, which is written for parents rather than for lawyers, and in the terms of use.
A teacher matched to your child's class, board and specific difficulty - you meet them in the free assessment before you decide anything. We deliberately do not front one named teacher, because no one person teaches Class 1 phonics and Class 10 Science equally well.
Every teacher on the panel has: Taught the class and board your child is in; Interviewed and observed teaching a live class before joining; Teaches the same batch every week - never a rota of strangers; Reachable by parents on WhatsApp between classes. Those are conditions of being on the panel at all, not aspirations.
Tell us and we'll make a new pairing. It's a routine request and doesn't need to feel awkward - usually mismatch stems from personality rather than ability, and fixing it by week two is far superior to enduring the issue throughout a whole term.
Because that is the largest group in which every child can be asked something directly in every class. Above roughly six, a quiet child can attend for a month without speaking, which is exactly the situation tuition is supposed to fix.
Intentionally small. We're not a national coaching chain and won't become one—the format works only when one person can mentally track all batches, teachers and families.
Kanchan handles enquiries and matching. WhatsApp is the fastest route, usually answered the same day between classes. Class hours are 16:00-20:00 on weekdays and 09:00-13:00 at weekends, IST.
Yes. Indian families abroad are a real part of the timetable, and class times are set around your local evening rather than ours. The fees remain consistent with Indian pricing, and one-to-one classes schedule most easily across time zones.
Phonics and early reading; Spoken English at every level; Maths, Class 1 to 10; Science and Social Science, Class 6 to 10; CBSE, ICSE and Karnataka State board. If your child's board is not on that list, say so before booking the assessment and we will tell you honestly whether we can teach it well.
A free 20-minute assessment. We find where your child actually is, then tell you what we would do about it. No card, no commitment. You will learn more in that one class than from anything written on this page.
