Budgeting for Success – Together with Team Paathshala

We’ve always known how essential the role of parents are and how their support can go a long way when it comes to the future and well being of their child. At Paathshala, we hence, consider the Parents to be a part of our team, and so together we can build an even stronger foundation for the children’s future. According to us, as an educational service provider, we wish to ensure that you will completely adore our entire service package. This service package does not only take into consideration the lectures being held, but also monitoring, learning management portals and tests along with academic planning and guidance. And for your child to be able to derive the maximum from the services offered, it is critical for us – Paathshala and you, the parents and guardians of the learner/student, to have effective communications with each other as a team.

We would like to begin by requesting the parents to put forth their budget so we can start off with the first crucial part of the learning process, that is short listing of educators best suited for the students and moving on towards preparing demo lectures. Information related to all our educators can be looked up on our app. This information would include, sample videos of the teachers delivering lectures, base rates of every educator, etc.

One needs to understand that different educators according to their previous experiences and they’re previous payments received will have different per hour rates. The rates also usually differ based on the geographical location of the educator.

For example,

An educator living in the heart of the city of Mumbai is used to receiving more hourly remuneration than an educator living in say Jharkhand, although it is important to note that the quality of deliverance of lectures, of both the educators is at par with each other.

Similarly, educators who are working as an employee with an IT company elsewhere and teaching part time, tend to charge higher because this is not their primary source of income.

Some educators are very passionate about teaching and the academic process and tend to not change high but only want to work with dedicated students.

Hence, without understanding about your budget we are incapable of preparing an effective demo lecture for you. If we don’t receive a budget from you, then we might end up making assumptions of your budget not having any limitations and would arrange a demo lecture with an educator whose charge might exceed your capacity to pay, in other words, your budget. This will lead to you being unsatisfied as well as the educator facing issues since he/she experienced a mis-match of expectations. Thus, in order to avoid these situations, the parents need to have strong communication with Paathshala about their budget. This will help us short list professors from out of the hundreds of lecturers we work with, with those educators who match the range of the budget we have to work with.

One must also note, that the amount of their budget does not mark the standard of the quality of service that we shall provide. For every budget, be it high or low, we will ensure that your child has to engage with the best of educators.

The Fee Payment structure generally followed at Paathshala, also follows a certain discount structure, for larger packages (larger number of hours purchased).

Hence, scoping the Educational Assignment that you are parents and we as Paathshala Education are together embarking upon, remains a critical factor in win-win communication for Academic and Synergic success together.

Therefore, in order to work well together, we need to know your per hour budget, as well as the volume of academic work that we would like to accomplish together.

For us to help you, you need to help us by letting us know about your budget, so that we then together can decide on which educators are best suited to teach the student and also proceed with the demo lecture process. This will mean that once the education process has started the educator, who already had a good idea for this assignment, shall stick with the child until his/her final exams are over because we have together set it up in such a manner that we are meeting the educator’s expectations.
We will be happy only when we are very convinced that you’re satisfied with the services being provided, letting us understand how best to invest in your child’s future with us at Paathshala.

The process of selection of educators at Paathshala is as follows:

Once we know your budget, we forward the given academic requirement on our internal portal to all our educators. Proceeding this, if any educator is then willing to work at the given deal, he/she approaches us to finalize their position in our system. We then look out for the best educators among all those opting for the same deal, and then get going to prepare the demo lectures.

However, for us to begin with the process of short listing the educator befitting the job requirements, we would need information about the per hour or total budget planned, not forgetting the desired volume of work. The total budget will either way be sliced into per hour earnings by us, since we function in that manner.

If we are uncertain about the budgeting and volume of work required, we would be unable to put forth a deal among our educators thus hindering the entire procedure of selecting the appropriate faculty member and hosting effective lectures. It is also the educators right to know the exact amount he/she is working for and how much is expected from him/her. It shouldn’t be too late until the educators begin to feel that they are getting paid too less. This will in turn have an impact on their performance when it comes to delivering lectures. And so it is essential to jot down the budget and volume of the job at the very beginning of the procedure, giving the educators the choice to opt for the job themselves so they cannot have any reason to complain later. This also works well with regards to our win-win philosophy.

Since at the early stage of the selection process we do not know the status of our teachers, if given the per hour budget we’ll float it across our educators, getting them to respond back on the basis of their own will towards conducting the lectures and we shall then proceed to selecting our educators based on their responses and our internal rating system.

And hence, it is important to keep in mind that without you mentioning the budget, if we go ahead and arrange the demo lecture, then the Educator experiences a mismatch of expectations.
Once we float the budget, then we forward the tuition enquiry internally to our Educators. The ones who are willing to take up the assignment, come and contact us so that there is a matching of expectations. Leading to the smooth functioning of our system in whole.
