Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started?

Click the Book a Demo button on this page and tell us which path your child follows (DELE / school exam / conversational). We will schedule a free trial session with a matching tutor. For details, contact our coordinator on WhatsApp at +91 93308 11581 or email contact@winquestonline.com.

Will the tutor follow my child's exam / curriculum?

Yes. We currently support DELE A1 through C2 (and the equivalent DELF / Goethe / HSK / TORFL for other languages), US Common Core / ACTFL World Languages, CBSE and ICSE Spanish / French / German as 3rd / foreign language, Cambridge IGCSE 0530 / 0520 / 0525 / 0547 and Cambridge AS / A-level 9719 / 9716 / 9717 / 9778. If your child follows another framework, mention it during the demo and we will match a tutor.

How does payment work?

We require monthly advance payments for the number of classes scheduled in that calendar month. We accept Zelle, PayPal, UPI (for India), Stripe and major credit / debit cards.

What if my child misses a class?

For 1:1 sessions we reschedule a make-up at a mutually convenient time at no extra cost (with at least 24 hours notice). For group classes we share a timed recording of the session on parent request, so your child can catch up before the next class.

How long is each class?

Each class session is 60 minutes long. Frequency is typically twice a week for beginners and three times a week for exam-prep tracks (IGCSE / A-level / DELE), based on the exam timeline and parent preference.

How is progress measured?

Tutors give written feedback on every assignment, run a short formative quiz every 4-6 classes, and a longer level / chapter test at the end of each unit. For exam-prep tracks we run 2-4 full-length proctored mocks before the actual exam. Parents receive a monthly progress report.

What is the class size?

For 1:1 sessions the class is just your child and the tutor. For group classes we cap each batch at 5-6 students per level so every learner gets individual speaking and feedback time.

Are the tutors qualified?

All our language tutors are native or near-native speakers with formal teaching qualifications. For DELE / DELF / Goethe / HSK they hold the relevant instructor certification, and each tutor is interviewed by our academic head before joining.

What if my child wants to switch path mid-way?

No problem. Tell us during a review and the tutor will re-map the lesson plan - many students start on a school path and add a DELE / DELF / Goethe certification track in parallel, or vice versa.

What are the requirements?

A laptop / desktop / tablet with stable internet, headphones with a clear microphone for listening and speaking practice, and a notebook for vocabulary and writing. For exam-prep tracks the tutor will share the official past papers and practice pack before the first class.
