Search HomeLearn by city, subject and grade to find verified homeschool educators. Each educator chooses home visits, online sessions or both, and their profile shows which. If no one teaches in your city yet, you'll see educators who teach online. Every educator's ID and qualification documents are reviewed before their profile goes live.

Yes. Many educators on HomeLearn teach online, so your child can start classes from wherever you are now. Once you're back in India, you can continue online or switch to home visits if an educator near you offers them.

Choose online classes: online educators teach families anywhere in India or abroad. You can also search by city on HomeLearn as new educators join.

Yes. There is no law in India that prohibits homeschooling. The Right to Education (RTE) Act 2009 mandates education for children aged 6–14 but does not require it to happen in a school. Many families register with NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) so their child can appear for Class 10 and 12 board exams.

Yes. Most homeschooling families in India register with NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) or opt for IGCSE/Cambridge. NIOS is government-recognised, accepted by UGC, and allows students to appear for Class 10 and 12 board exams. Educators on HomeLearn can help prepare your child for these boards.

Yes — it's called Open Basic Education (OBE), not a separate 'board exam' like Class 10/12. It has 3 levels: A (Class I–III), B (Class IV–V), and C (Class VI–VIII, the one equivalent to Class 8). Exams are conducted by NIOS-accredited agencies near you, and the certificate is issued jointly by that agency and NIOS.

Yes. HomeLearn is free for parents: you pay each educator's rate per session, which they set themselves and show on their profile.

Every educator submits a government ID (Aadhaar, PAN or Passport), qualification and experience documents, and a signed conduct declaration. Our team reviews each profile by hand before it goes live, usually within 1–3 business days. If an educator adds an intro video, we watch that too.

Some educators offer a free or low-cost introductory session. Check the educator's profile for details, or enroll in a single class first to try before continuing.

UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM) and debit or credit cards, through Razorpay's secure checkout.

Yes, your child can be enrolled across different subjects and educators at the same time.

Maths, Science, English, Hindi, Social Studies, Coding, Art, Music, and more. Use the subject filter on Discover to find what you need.

The National Education Policy 2020 emphasises flexible, multidisciplinary, and learner-paced education — which is exactly what homeschooling offers. HomeLearn helps you find educators who support this approach across subjects and grades.

If an educator cancels a session, the full fee goes straight back to you as HomeLearn Credits. If an educator doesn't turn up, raise a dispute from your account within 14 days. We check the session and refund it to your credits. Credits stay in your account and work with any educator on HomeLearn. Refunds are always made as credits, not cash.
