Begin by listening
Understand the learner before choosing materials. What Hindi do they hear, understand, speak or read already? A family conversation and a simple starting activity can help identify a realistic goal.
Make practice meaningful
Use words in a real context: people, food, home and everyday questions. Listening, speaking, reading and writing can develop at different speeds. The starting point should match the learner rather than a generic promise of fluency.
Notice progress without pressure
A useful sign of progress could be a new reply, recognising a vowel or asking a question independently. Agree a small goal and revisit it. Every learner’s pace differs; there is no guaranteed timeline.
Keep the family informed
Before booking, agree the lesson format, fee and schedule. Discuss whether a parent should be nearby and what practice, if any, will be useful between sessions.
