Hindi tutors for students in New York
Lessons are online and one to one, with native Hindi speakers based in India. You are not limited to whoever happens to teach Hindi near you — which, even in a city this size, is often nobody.
Why people in New York learn Hindi
New York's South Asian population is large, old and unusually varied — Jackson Heights alone covers most of the subcontinent within a few blocks. Hindi functions there as the shared language between people whose first languages differ, which makes it practical rather than sentimental: you will use it in a shop the week you start. Scheduling is the honest constraint. New York is nine and a half hours behind India, so lessons realistically mean your early morning or a tutor's late night, and it is worth agreeing a fixed slot rather than improvising.
Lesson times in New York
Our tutors teach on Indian time. Converted to local time where you are, that means lessons run from about 22:30 (previous day) to 11:30. You do not have to work this out yourself — the booking page converts every slot into your own timezone automatically, and shows both times side by side so there is no confusion.

Common questions
No, and we would rather say so plainly. Our tutors live in India and teach online over video. In practice that is an advantage: you get a native speaker who uses the language every day, rather than whoever is available locally.
Lessons start at $6. Every price on this site converts to your own currency automatically, using live exchange rates. Most tutors offer a trial lesson.
Not to start. Plenty of students learn to speak first and add reading later. If you do want the script, our free alphabet guide covers every letter, and most learners read simple words within six weeks.
