5. What will be medium of Instruction?
English and Tamil
6. Can we have a free demo class?
No. Currently we do not provide any demo class. In the past when we provided a timing for demo class, people did not come on time or they did not come at all. Our time got wasted because of that. We request you to visit the centre when classes are happening and you may be able to observe how the classes are taken.
7. Why should we pay the fee in advance?
Yes, it has to be paid in advance. In the past when we collected fee after the month is over, many did not make payment and we were not able to pay our teachers. We had to take money from our pocket to pay them. Thus, we have decided to collect the fee in advance.

No, we do not provide materials for monthly classes. Please remember to contact the admin manager for the materials required. For some workshops, we will mention that material will be provided.

You will get all the information related to our classes. Whenever your timings fit into our timing, you may choose to join.
10. Will there be any refund or adjustment to another workshop?
No, we will not provide any refund. For workshops, we would have bought materials and if people cancel suddenly, the materials bought would go waste.
