Hindi tutors for students in San Francisco Bay Area
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 San Francisco Bay Area learn Hindi
The Bay Area's technology industry has deep and continuous ties to India, and Hindi turns up constantly in workplace social life even where the working language is English. Learners here split into two familiar groups: heritage speakers with strong comprehension and no confidence, and non-Indian colleagues and partners who want conversational ability and have no interest in the script — a completely legitimate goal. The timezone is the worst on this list at twelve and a half hours behind India, so a very early morning or a late-evening tutor slot is the realistic option, and it is worth fixing it once.

Our tutors teach on Indian time. Converted to local time where you are, that means lessons run from about 19:30 (previous day) to 08:30.

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.
