Why a Free Demo Class Matters — and 8 Questions to Ask the Tutor

Every tutor on HomePathshala offers a free demo class. It is the single best way to know whether a tutor is the right fit, but only if you use it well.

What to watch during the demo

• Does the tutor first ask what your child already knows, or just start lecturing?
• Does your child ask questions, and are they answered patiently?
• Is the explanation simple, with examples from daily life?
• Does the session end with a small task or recap?

8 questions to ask the tutor

1. How will you assess where my child stands right now?
2. How do you plan the syllabus over the coming months?
3. How often will you give tests, and how will you share the results?
4. What will you do if my child is stuck on a topic for a long time?
5. How do you handle homework and doubts between classes?
6. Which days and times can you commit to every week?
7. What is your hourly fee for the schedule we need?
8. What results have your previous students achieved?

After the demo

You will receive a short feedback form from us. If you would like to continue, the tutor will send a fee and schedule proposal that you can accept or counter, all inside your dashboard. If it did not feel right, simply try another tutor. There is no charge for the demo either way.
