Questions, answered
Didn't find it?
Do I need homeschool teaching experience?
No. Most educators in India don't have it — homeschooling is still new here. You need strong subject knowledge and the ability to connect with a child.
What curriculum do I follow?
Most homeschool families follow NIOS (Class 10 and 12) or NCERT (Class 1–9). Some follow IGCSE. The parent will tell you which board their child is registered with. If you can teach CBSE, you can teach NIOS — the content is very similar.
Is there any upfront or monthly cost?
No. Creating an account, setting up your profile and creating classes is free. There's no monthly subscription and no joining fee.
How long does verification take?
Usually 1–3 business days after you submit your government ID, passing certificate, and experience certificate.
How many hours per week do homeschool educators typically work?
It depends on how many students you take on. You set your own schedule and availability — some educators do 5 hours a week, others do 20. It's entirely up to you.
What if the parent and I disagree on the teaching approach?
Homeschool parents are deeply involved — that's normal. Discuss expectations upfront: what curriculum to follow, how fast to move, and how to communicate. If there's a mismatch, it's better to address it early. HomeLearn's messaging system helps keep communication clear.
Is it safe to go to a stranger's home?
We understand this concern, especially for women educators. All parents on HomeLearn are registered with verified contact details. You can also choose to teach online instead of in-person. If you ever feel uncomfortable, you can stop and contact our team.
Can I accept cash payments?
Yes. HomeLearn supports both online (Razorpay) and manual cash payment recording.
Are there any limits on classes or students?
No limits. You can create as many classes and enroll as many students as you need.
How do I receive my earnings?
Payouts are made at the end of each month to the payout account on your profile. If you join after the 15th, your first payout comes the following month.
