Help with the things your child is actually stuck on
Plain answers to the questions that keep parents of Class 1 to 10 children awake - reading that will not click, spelling that will not stick, times tables, choosing a board, homework that turns into an argument, and Class 10 without the panic. Written by the people who teach it, and free to read without an account.
It is written by the teachers who teach these classes rather than by an outside writer paid by the word, which is the only thing that makes a blog like this worth reading. The examples will come from real classes and real children who got stuck in real places, with the specific detail left in.
Guides published so far
Six things parents ask us constantly
These are not invented content categories. They are the six subjects that come up over and over on WhatsApp, which is why they are written first.
Reading and phonics
Why a child can name every letter and still not read a word, and what to do about it at home when English is not the first language at your dinner table.
Maths made easier
Times tables that stick, why Class 4 fractions break so many children, and how to tell a careless mistake from a genuine misunderstanding.
Spoken English and confidence
The child who knows the answer and will not say it out loud. What actually helps, and what quietly makes it worse.
Choosing a board
CBSE, ICSE or State board, compared honestly for a family that may move cities - including the parts nobody puts in a school brochure.
Homework without the fight
How long homework should really take at each class, when to step in, and when helping is doing your child a disservice.
Exams and Class 10
Board preparation that does not turn a year into a panic, revision that works, and what a mock score does and does not tell you.
Four rules for every article
Most education blogs written for Indian parents are search-engine filler: nine hundred words that circle a question, quote a statistic nobody can trace, and end by recommending a course. A parent who came looking for an answer leaves without one.
So the answer goes near the top, the detail follows, and if the honest conclusion is “your child does not need tuition for this, do these two things at home for a fortnight”, that is what the article will say.
Where we are genuinely unsure about something, the article will say that too. There are a lot of confident claims about how children learn to read and very few settled ones.
Every post will be
- Written by teachers who teach these classes, not commissioned by the word from someone who does not.
- One clear answer near the top, then the detail - a parent reading at eleven at night should not have to scroll for the point.
- No invented statistics, no borrowed research we have not read, and no scare stories to sell classes.
- Free to read with no newsletter wall, no pop-up and no account.
Want a particular question answered first? Ask for it - that is how the order gets decided.
Suggest a topicThe most useful pages on the site today
If you are trying to work out whether your child needs tuition at all, the about page is the honest version: how a teacher is matched, why batches are kept small, and what happens when the match turns out to be wrong.
If the question is money, every plan and price is on the fees page with no form to fill in first - which is still unusual enough in this industry to be worth pointing out.
And if you want something for your child to do this evening, the learning games and printable worksheets pages set out exactly what is coming and what is free. Everything on both will stay free, with no sign-up.
Fair questions about an empty blog
Why are there not more articles here?
Because they are written by teachers who are teaching classes in the afternoons and evenings, so it moves at the pace it moves. We would rather publish six posts that answer a question properly than sixty that repeat each other.
Who writes the blog?
The teachers who teach these classes at Scholur, rather than an outside writer paid by the word. That is the only reason a blog like this is worth reading - the examples come from real classes with real children who got stuck in real places.
Will I have to subscribe to read it?
No. Every article will be free to read with no newsletter wall, no account and no pop-up asking for an email address before you reach the second paragraph.
Can I suggest a topic?
Yes, and it is genuinely the best way to influence what gets written. Message Kanchan on WhatsApp with the question you actually want answered - questions parents really ask get written before topics we invent.
Which classes will the articles cover?
Class 1 to 10. Some topics are specific to one stage - phonics belongs to Class 1 to 3, board exam revision to Class 9 and 10 - and each article will say plainly at the top which classes it is for.
Is the blog just advertising for your classes?
It is written to be useful whether or not you ever book anything, and several of the planned posts end with advice that means you do not need tuition at all. Where a class genuinely is the answer, we will say so once and move on.
What can I read in the meantime?
The about page explains how teacher matching works and how a class actually runs, and the fees page publishes every price openly. The worksheets and games pages set out what free practice material is coming.
