A one-on-one tutor for my child, without the ₹8,000-a-subject bill
Here is the sum every parent does. A good one-to-one tutor is one subject. Maths is one bill. English is a second bill and usually a second person, who does not know what happened in the maths sitting. Caldra Year is one price for every subject that is live, and it is one voice with one memory of your child. Today that is a short list, and the list is published rather than implied.
The comparison, done properly
- Human tutor
- One person, one subject, a fixed hour in the week. Knows your child, and you can talk to them. Two subjects means two bills and two people who do not speak to each other.
- Caldra Year
- One price for every subject that is live, any time of day, with one memory across all of it. Today the live list is ICSE Class 2 mathematics and Class 2 reading. It is a short list and we would rather you saw it than guessed at it.
- Caldra Pick
- From ₹1,999 a month if you would rather pay for a few subjects than the year. The price rises with the number of subjects.
Caldra Year is ₹4,999 a month for LKG to Class 2, ₹7,999 for Class 3 to Class 8 and ₹9,999 for Class 9 to Class 12, priced by your child's band. Pay for a year and you pay for ten months.
What "one tutor" actually means
One voice. Your child is not passed between a maths app and a reading app, each starting from nothing. And one memory: what your child said on Tuesday is still there on Wednesday, so a sitting resumes rather than restarting. That is the part a second human tutor cannot give you at any price.
What you can read
With a human tutor you get a report at the end of the month, if you are lucky. With Caldra you can read the conversation itself, on the day, word for word. That is not a feature we bolted on; it is the reason the parent view exists.
Where a human tutor still wins
A person in the room reads a child's face. Caldra hears a voice and nothing else. A person can sit with a child who is upset. Caldra can be warm, but it is not company.
And the list is short today: ICSE Class 2 maths and Class 2 reading. If your child needs Class 5 science this month, a human tutor is the right answer and we will say so.
The questions that follow this one
How much does a one-on-one tutor cost with Caldra?
Caldra Year is ₹4,999 a month for LKG to Class 2, ₹7,999 for Class 3 to Class 8 and ₹9,999 for Class 9 to Class 12, priced by your child's band. A year paid at once is priced as ten months. Caldra Pick starts at ₹1,999 a month for a few subjects.
Is it one tutor for every subject, or one per subject?
One. One voice and one memory of your child across every subject that is live, so a sitting resumes rather than restarting. Today the live list is ICSE Class 2 mathematics and Class 2 reading.
What can a human tutor do that Caldra cannot?
Read a child's face, sit with a child who is upset, and be company. Caldra hears a voice and nothing else. For a class or a subject with no signed lesson yet, a human tutor is the right answer.
