Hindi Tutor Online for Kids: CBSE Hindi A/B, Non-Hindi Homes & NRI Families
Pick the right kind of Hindi help: CBSE/ICSE exam marks, reading for non-Hindi-speaking homes, or speaking for kids abroad. Course A vs B, fees and how to check a tutor.
Mentr Editorial Team··8 min read
A good online Hindi tutor for kids does one of three jobs, and you should know which one you need before you hire: getting a child through the CBSE or ICSE Hindi syllabus (grammar, comprehension and writing), helping a child from a non-Hindi-speaking home read and speak with confidence, or keeping Hindi alive for children growing up abroad. Online works very well for Hindi from about age 7. Expect ₹300–₹700 an hour from tutors in India, and two or three 45-minute sessions a week.
Which kind of Hindi help does your child need?
Three common reasons parents look for a Hindi tutor
Your situation
What the tutor should focus on
Look for
CBSE/ICSE student losing marks in Hindi
Grammar (vyakaran), unseen passages, letter and essay formats, the exam pattern
A school teacher or tutor who knows your board's current paper
Family doesn't speak Hindi at home (for example in Bengaluru, Chennai or Hyderabad)
Reading Devanagari fluently, vocabulary, speaking without fear
Patience with beginners, lots of reading aloud
Living abroad (UK, US, UAE, Canada)
Conversation, reading simple stories, connecting with family
Flexible timings across time zones, playful style
Mixing these up is the most common reason Hindi tuition fails. A child in London who needs to chat with grandparents doesn't need CBSE grammar drills, and a Class 9 student facing boards doesn't need storytelling games.
CBSE Hindi: Course A or Course B?
In Class 9 and 10, CBSE offers Hindi Course A and Hindi Course B. Course B is designed to be simpler and is common for students who don't use Hindi much at home. Check which course your child's school follows before hiring, because the textbooks and question papers are different, and a tutor should know the exact one.
Grammar is the fastest place to gain marks; it follows rules and rewards practice
Unseen passages need daily reading, even five minutes of a Hindi newspaper or story
Letters, notices and essays have fixed formats. Learn the format once and use it every time
Ask the tutor to work from CBSE sample papers in the last two months before exams
Hindi for children growing up abroad
For NRI families, the goal is usually confidence, not exams. Children abroad often understand Hindi but answer in English. The fix is lots of speaking in low-pressure settings: describing their day, retelling a cartoon, playing word games, and reading short illustrated stories in Devanagari.
Pick a time that works in both time zones. UAE is only 1.5 hours behind India, so Indian evening slots work; for the UK and US, weekend mornings are usually easiest
Keep sessions to 30–40 minutes for under-10s
Ask the tutor to speak only Hindi for most of the session, switching to English only when stuck
Involve grandparents: a weekly video call where the child uses what they learned

How to check a Hindi tutor before you pay
Ask them to read a passage from your child's textbook aloud. Clear pronunciation matters more than degrees
Ask how they'll measure progress after a month (pages read fluently, marks in grammar, speaking time)
Watch how much your child speaks in the demo. A good tutor gets the child talking
Prefer tutors whose profile and identity are verified, and who give you a weekly update

Common questions
Is online Hindi tuition good for kids?
Yes, from about age 7. Hindi is mostly reading, speaking and writing practice, which works well on video if sessions are short (30–45 minutes), the tutor checks written work on camera, and the child does a little reading every day.
How much does a Hindi tutor charge per hour?
In 2026, online Hindi tutors in India typically charge about ₹300–₹500 an hour for primary children and ₹400–₹700 for CBSE or ICSE Class 6–10. Tutors teaching NRI children often charge ₹500–₹1,000 per session.
What is the difference between CBSE Hindi Course A and Course B?
Both are offered in Class 9 and 10. Course B is designed to be simpler and is often chosen by students who use less Hindi at home. They have different textbooks and question papers, so a tutor should know which one your child's school follows.
How can NRI kids learn Hindi?
Through regular, low-pressure speaking with a tutor who uses mostly Hindi, short illustrated stories in Devanagari, and real use with family such as weekly calls with grandparents. Two short online sessions a week at a time that fits both time zones work well.
How do I improve my child's Hindi grammar for exams?
Practise grammar topics one at a time from the board's sample papers, read a short Hindi passage daily for comprehension, and learn fixed formats for letters and essays. A tutor who knows the current marking scheme can speed this up.
