Refund / cancellation policy
Refund / cancellation policy
We understand life can be unpredictable with kids and are happy to support changes in your schedule, as we can. We offer full refunds/cancellations with a 2 week notice prior to the start of the next month.
Please note - the 2 week requirement is strict. Organizing our classes takes a lot of planning with tutors, parents, availabilities, etc. and we need time to adjust things around to ensure the classes can go ahead as planned for everyone else.

Sofia ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We absolutely loved our experience. The course was so well structured and well thought out, and they picked things to teach that would actually be digestible and age appropriate. Our 5 year old went into the class with almost no Urdu in daily use, and has picked up so many words and sentences that we are using more and more every day.

Shehrose ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I signed my oldest daughter, 8 years old up for the classes. Her understanding of Urdu has suddenly expanded. She is putting her knowledge of existing words and new words together to figure out sentences! These classes are also not taught in a traditional way which can be a bit boring. It's only taught in conversation and games! I also appreciate the follow up after the class with games and sheets to continue practicing with my daughter!

Kiran ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our kids LOVED the Urdu Class and are practicing their Urdu around the house and with each other! The classes are so organized and well thought out. The at-home activities are fun and a great way to re-inforce what they've learned. The teachers are so sweet and positive (and patient!). I'm so grateful to KidsBolo for creating such an amazing program. 10/10 Recommend. We cant wait for Session 2....and 3, 4, and beyond! :)

Junaid ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Instead of looking at it as "class", our daughter thoroughly enjoyed attending the sessions and participating with other students. As most of us living here abroad and as someone who grew up mostly overseas we speak a mix of English and Urdu at home, and trying to teach our kids Urdu has always felt a daunting task. We are so happy we discovered Kids Bolo. Our daughter has learned a tremendous amount over a short period of time; her vocabulary has increased significantly and more importantly her confidence about communicating with us in Urdu has gone up exponentially. We look forward to continuing our lessons.
