Up to 5 students · Same teacher

Small-group online math classes, up to five students

A live class of at most five students, taught by the same teacher from the first class to the last, twice a week, following a structured course syllabus. A month of 8 classes costs from $129 or ₹1,999, about half the 1-on-1 price at the same level, paid once with no admission fee.

  • At most five students
  • One teacher for the whole cohort
  • Recordings and whiteboard notes
  • Fortnightly parent reports

What a small-group cohort includes

Up to five students

Small enough for the teacher to check every student's working during class, not just the answers at the end.

The same teacher throughout

One teacher runs the cohort from the first class to the last, so nobody has to re-learn a new teacher's way of explaining.

Two live classes a week

A structured course syllabus, 8 classes a month, taught live and never replaced by pre-recorded lessons.

Recordings and whiteboard notes

Every class is recorded, with the whiteboard notes, so a missed class or a hard topic can be watched again.

Homework marked every week

Weekly homework and short assessments are marked, so problems show up before they reach a test.

Fortnightly parent reports

Parents get a written progress report every two weeks, not just a term grade.

Why five students, not fifty

In a coaching batch of 60 or more, a student can go weeks without anyone looking at their working, and a misunderstanding only surfaces in a test. With five, the teacher can ask each student to explain a step, see whose method went wrong and where, and fix it in the same class.

A small group also brings something 1-on-1 does not: hearing four other students' questions and mistakes. Explaining a method to someone else is one of the fastest ways to find out whether you really understand it.

How a teacher gets in front of your child

Group teachers pass the same three gates as 1-on-1 teachers. Three steps, in this order. Being good at maths gets a teacher through the first one and nothing else.

  1. Gate 1

    Sit the paper first

    Applicants write a paper from the exam their students will write, such as JEE Advanced maths or the AP Calculus BC free response, under time.

  2. Gate 2

    Teach a real class, watched

    A demo class, watched. We are looking for one thing: do they stop when the student is lost, or keep going because the plan said so?

  3. Gate 3

    Identity check, then ongoing feedback

    An identity check before teaching, then parent feedback and attendance are kept in view. If a teacher is not the right fit, you can ask for another at any time.

Small group or 1-on-1?

Both are taught live by a screened teacher. The difference is how closely lessons are built around one student.

Choose a group if your child is roughly on track and would benefit from working alongside others. Choose 1-on-1 tutoring if they are behind by a year or more, or need lessons built around their own school's syllabus.

Questions about small-group classes

How many students are in a group?

At most five. That is the whole point: small enough that the teacher sees every student's working in every class, which a batch of 60 cannot do.

Does the same teacher teach the whole cohort?

Yes. One teacher runs the cohort from the first class to the last.

How long do we sign up for, and how often are classes?

You pay for one month at a time, or for 3, 6, 9 or 12 months together at a lower monthly price. Each month is 8 live classes, two a week. Classes run Monday to Saturday at fixed batch times, so every student in the cohort keeps the same two slots each week. We never charge you again automatically, so you decide after each plan whether to continue.

What if my child misses a class?

Every class is recorded along with the whiteboard notes, so they can watch it before the next one.

Will the group follow my child's school syllabus?

A cohort follows its own course syllabus rather than any one school's calendar. If you need lessons matched to your school's chapter plan week by week, 1-on-1 tutoring is the better fit.

How do parents know how it is going?

Homework and short assessments are marked every week, and parents receive a written progress report every two weeks.

How is billing done?

The price depends on your child's level. You pay once for each plan, and we never charge you again automatically. There is no admission fee.

Is a group right for my child, or is 1-on-1 better?

A group suits a student who is roughly on track and learns well alongside others, at about half the hourly price. A student who is behind by a year or more, or who needs lessons built around their own school's syllabus, usually does better 1-on-1.
