Little children learn differently
Little children aren't designed to sit still and memorise vocabulary.
And we don't expect them to.
At 3–5 years old, children are constantly making connections between what they see, hear, say and do.
That's why our Punjabi lessons combine language with play, stories, movement and hands on activities.
Instead of simply teaching your child that ਕੁਰਸੀ kursi means chair, we want them to hear it, say it, recognise it, find it, match it, use it in a conversation and eventually recognise the written word too.
The more ways they experience Punjabi, the more connections we're helping them make.
Stories
Hear Punjabi naturally through stories and characters.
Games
Practise words again and again without it feeling repetitive.
Hands on activities
Cutting, sticking, matching, colouring and dot to dots.
Conversations
Punjabi they can actually use with you at home.
Reading & writing
Gentle exposure to Gurmukhi alongside speaking and listening.
Role play
Pretend shops, family conversations, food, clothes and everyday situations.
We don't teach every 4 year old the same way.
Because your child isn't the same as every other child.
Some children love stories. Some want to move. Some will happily sit with a worksheet. Others need a new activity every five minutes.
That's completely fine.
Our 1:1 lessons are adapted around your child's interests, confidence, attention span and learning style.
Love dinosaurs?
We'll use dinosaurs.
Love drawing?
We'll draw.
Need to move?
We'll get them moving.
The goal isn't to make your child fit our lesson.
We adapt the lesson to fit your child.

No two lessons need to look exactly the same.
But what will they actually learn?
We don't want children to know 20 random Punjabi words but still answer Mum, Dad, Nani or Dada Ji in English.
We focus on helping children understand and use Punjabi in real life.

We build all four language skills.
Your child isn't just learning a list of Punjabi words. We gently build all four skills together, in an age appropriate way.
Listening
Understanding Punjabi when family members and their tutor speak.
Speaking
Building confidence to answer, ask and have everyday conversations.
Reading
Recognising Gurmukhi letters, sounds and simple words.
Writing
Developing early letter formation and familiarity with Gurmukhi.
Hear it. Say it. See it. Do it. 💛
A child might hear a word in a story, say it during a game, match it to a picture, recognise it in Gurmukhi and then have a go at writing it.
One word. Lots of connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my child need to know any Punjabi already?
No. We teach children who are complete beginners as well as children who already understand or speak some Punjabi. Their tutor will start from their current level.
What if my child won't sit still for 60 minutes?
That's completely fine. For younger children, we can offer two 30 minute lessons during the week instead. Lessons also include games, movement and hands on activities, so we don't expect your child to sit still and listen for the whole lesson. For teenagers going through exam period or adults, if a 30 min session works best, then we can accommodate this also.
Do I need to sit with my child during the lesson?
You don't need to sit next to your child for the whole lesson, but for younger children we recommend being nearby in case they need help with technology or activities such as cutting and sticking. As they become more confident, you may find they need you less and less. We also recommend coming back 5 mins before the end of the lesson to get a debrief from the tutor.
What resources do we need at home?
Nothing complicated. We'll provide the learning resources and booklets you need. You'll just need access to a printer, plus a few basics such as scissors, glue, colouring pencils or pens. If anything different is needed for a lesson, your tutor will let you know beforehand.
Can you teach Punjabi alongside Paath or Sikhi?
Absolutely. If you'd like your child to learn Punjabi alongside Paath, Gurmukhi reading or Sikhi, choose our Bespoke Tuition option. We can create a more personalised learning plan around what you'd like your child to learn.
What happens if my child is shy and doesn't speak at first?
That's completely normal. It's one of the reasons we start with a free introduction session. Your child can meet their tutor, say hello, talk about things they like and get comfortable before their lessons begin. We don't pressure children to speak straight away. We build their confidence gradually through games, stories and activities.
Where do the lessons take place?
All lessons take place online using Google Meet, so your child can learn from home wherever you are in the world. Once you're set up with your tutor, we'll send you everything you need to join your lessons.
What happens if we can't make a lesson?
We understand that plans change, especially with little ones. If you can't make a lesson, just let your tutor know as soon as possible. Lessons can be rearranged in line with our cancellation and rescheduling policy.
What happens if my child is ill?
If your child is unwell, please let your tutor know as soon as you can. Depending on the circumstances and notice given, we'll do our best to rearrange the lesson in line with our cancellation and rescheduling policy.
How does payment work?
Lessons are paid for in advance. Once you've had your free introduction session and decided you'd like to continue, we'll confirm your lesson plan, regular time slot and payment details with you.
Who will teach my child?
Your child will be matched with one of our friendly Punjabi tutors based on their needs and availability. Our tutors are based in the UK or Canada and have been personally trained by Harsimrat Kaur. They adapt lessons around each child's confidence, interests and learning style.

My child understands Punjabi but always answers in English. Can you help?
Yes. This is very common. We use questions, role plays, translation activities and conversation practice to gradually build their confidence answering in Punjabi.
Which learning pathway should I choose?
You can choose Speaking & Listening, Reading & Writing or All Four Skills. If you're unsure, tell us what your child can currently do and what you'd like them to achieve and we'll help you decide.
Can my child just learn speaking without Gurmukhi/reading?
Yes. You can choose our Speaking & Listening pathway without adding reading and writing.
