Telugu for Indian children in Australia
Telugu families have been among the fastest-growing Indian communities in Australia, many arriving through technology and healthcare work in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Telugu is rarely offered at community language schools, so children often grow up understanding it without ever learning to read. A live teacher from India gives them the script, stories and the confidence to speak with family in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Weekday afternoons, not just weekends
Because Australia is ahead of India, a 4 pm or 6 pm class after school lands in the Indian morning or early afternoon. Children get a short, regular class on a weekday and keep their weekends free.

Weekends in Australia
The weekend in Australia is Saturday and Sunday. Our teachers work Monday to Saturday India time, so we plan around both calendars.

Telugu classes in Australia: common questions
Is there a Telugu school in Sydney or Melbourne we should also join?
Telugu associations in the big cities run cultural events and some weekend classes. One-on-one classes work alongside them, giving your child the regular reading and writing practice that events alone can't.
Are there Telugu classes for adults too?
Yes. Adult beginners, including partners joining Telugu families, learn conversation and the script at their own pace in one-on-one classes.
What times suit Telugu classes from Perth?
Perth is 2.5 hours ahead of India, so 4 pm in Perth is 1:30 pm in India. After-school and early-evening slots both work.
What times can my child take Telugu classes from Australia?
Sydney and Melbourne are 4.5 hours ahead of India (5.5 during daylight saving); Perth is 2.5 hours ahead. After school is a great fit: 4 pm in Sydney is 11:30 am in India (10:30 am in daylight saving), and 4 pm in Perth is 1:30 pm. The time table on this page works it out for your time zone.
How much do Telugu classes cost?
Fees depend on the subject, your child's level and whether you choose one-on-one or a small batch, so we share the exact fee on WhatsApp once we know what your child needs. Every family can take a free 30-minute demo class first, with no obligation to join.
