  • Parent and child take turns naturally in a joint conversation while the panel observes behaviour
  • The family completes a full admission interaction without the child shutting down or the parent over-answering

This course is for

Parents and children (ages 4 to 7) facing a school admission interaction. Private-school admissions in India usually have two parts: a playful interaction with the child and a frank conversation with the parents. This course prepares both. The child learns to say name, age and family, name colours and shapes, talk about favourite things and follow a two-step instruction, in tiny turns and games. The parent learns to answer why this school, routine, screen time and tantrums honestly and calmly, in short English. Every lesson says who the tutor is speaking to. It ends with a full admission interaction, child first, then parent.
