Hindi lessons and teachers

Hindi is offered at GCSE and A-level (Edexcel) and is taken by heritage speakers and a smaller number of ab initio learners. The cohort is similar in shape to Urdu: strong oral skills, weaker reading and writing in Devanagari for many. Tutoring helps most with Devanagari literacy, with the formal/Sanskrit-derived register that exam papers expect (versus the colloquial Hinglish many students speak), and with the literary content at A-level. The Hindi/Urdu shared spoken base means some students cross-prepare; written script and high-register vocabulary are where they diverge. Look for native fluency, Devanagari teaching experience, and explicit UK-spec familiarity.
