Where it started
India has thousands of capable, experienced tutors. Most of them are nearly impossible to find unless you already know someone who knows them. Not because they aren't good — because the systems for finding them are broken. WhatsApp groups. Coaching centre notice boards. A neighbour who heard from a colleague who tried someone three years ago. Whether a family finds a genuinely good tutor has always depended on the strength of their contact list, not the quality of who's available.
The worksheet side of the problem is quieter but just as stubborn. Parents who sit down to look for practice material quickly run out of good options: branded workbooks that don't match the syllabus their school is following this year, photocopied sheets with errors baked in, or ₹400 books where two chapters are worth reading. The free PDFs stop mid-solution. Practice Kart's worksheet library was built chapter by chapter, CBSE-mapped, to be the material worth actually buying.
A good tutor's reputation used to stop at their front door.
Practice Kart was built to fix both ends of this — a real home for tutors to be found on their own terms, and practice material that earns its price before it gets listed.
Four things Practice Kart will not compromise on.
These aren't aspirations. They're built into how the platform works.
No referral required.
Any parent — regardless of who they know, where they live, or whether there's a coaching centre nearby — can find, read about, and contact a verified tutor directly. The directory is open and searchable.
Zero commission, everFull information before any decision.
Qualifications, subjects, grades, teaching format, location, availability — all visible before a parent reaches out. The profile does the work a warm referral used to do, without requiring one.
Direct WhatsApp contactNo padding. No filler.
Each worksheet pack is 120 questions, chapter-mapped to CBSE, with a complete answer key, print-ready on plain A4. If a pack doesn't earn ₹60 on its own merit, it doesn't go up.
From ₹60 a packEvery profile checked before it goes live.
Not auto-approved. Not left to reviews to sort out over time. Each tutor's credentials are reviewed by a person before the profile goes live. If something's off, it stays off.
Manually reviewedWho's behind it
I'm Jay. I built Practice Kart from Kerala under my design studio, Ookami Designs.
I started it because I kept seeing both of these problems up close and couldn't find anything that was taking them seriously at the same time. Capable tutors, nearly impossible to find. Practice material for Indian classrooms that was either overpriced, incomplete, or both. The directory and the worksheet library were built together because the problem is one problem.
Practice Kart is still early. It's growing deliberately — one verified profile and one honest worksheet pack at a time. If something on the site isn't working right, email me at hello@practicekart.com. That actually goes to me, not a support queue.
Where we're going
Practice Kart starts with worksheets and a tutor directory because that's where the gap is clearest. What comes next is driven by what parents and tutors actually ask for — not by what's easiest to add.
More boards, starting with ICSE
The CBSE library comes first. ICSE and major state curricula follow — sequenced by what families are actually asking for.
Planning tools for independent tutors
Structured session templates, progress-tracking sheets, and subject planning aids — practical materials for tutors who plan their own curriculum.
Better matching, sharper filters
Search tools that help parents find the right fit the first time — not after three phone calls and a scheduling mismatch.
