Class Format
Each session meets live online via Zoom, so your kids can attend the classes from any part of the world and from the comfort of your home. Each session is recorded and is shared with the parent upon request. Each recorded session is deleted after 30 days to ensure learner safety and privacy. This means that you can only access the recording for 30 days.
Since the classes are conversational, each class is highly interactive. All kids will have a safe space to learn and practice Urdu speaking skills to gain comfort and confidence. The weekly themes are generally not connected, so the learners can stop/start subscription any week.
Learners are encouraged to attend the class from a quiet background and stay unmuted during the class to allow timely interaction with me and other learners.
Important note:Â If no learners join the session in the first 10 minutes, it is considered a no-show. Thereby, the session ends.

My teaching style is inclusive, and extremely warm and friendly. It helps develop learner's comfort in class participation, they are less afraid of mistakes, and become more eager to learn. I conduct this class primarily in English with structured in-class Urdu practice. This allows smooth transition to speaking Urdu.
