Frequently Asked Questions

We specialise in English across the international curricula: the IB Diploma Programme (English A: Language & Literature), the Cambridge curriculum (IGCSE English and A-Level English), and the Indian curriculum (ICSE English). Every programme is taught by Shabnam Khan, who teaches the IB Diploma daily in her own classroom.

Our programmes sit in four groups. IB Diploma Programme: English A: Language & Literature, and an IBDP Revision Crash Course. Cambridge Curriculum: IGCSE English, A-Level English, and an IGCSE Revision Crash Course. Indian Curriculum: ICSE English. English Language & Literature: Grammar Booster, Literature and Creative Writing.

Each is described in full on the Programmes page.

Both. Mentoring is offered online and in person, and the teaching is the same in either setting — only the format changes. Families choose whichever suits them, and we are happy to discuss what works best during the consultation.

Both formats are available. One-to-one mentoring gives a student undivided attention, entirely paced to them. Small groups add discussion and debate while keeping individual attention intact. Which is right depends on the student, and it is one of the first things we will talk through with you.

We mentor students across international curricula, typically aged 14–18 — from IGCSE and ICSE through to IB Diploma and A Level. If your child sits slightly outside that range, write to us and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.

That is exactly what the consultation is for. Tell us your child’s curriculum, their stage and where they would like to be, and Shabnam will recommend the right starting point — personally. If a different route suits them better, she will say so.

Send an enquiry through the form on our Contact page, telling us a little about your child’s curriculum and goals. You may also write to us directly at contact@theelitehub.co.in. Every enquiry is read personally.

We reply within 1–2 business days. Enquiries are not handled by an admissions desk — your first conversation is with the person who would actually teach your child.
