Teach Hindi in India

Teach Hindi language and literature across primary and secondary grades.

Hindi teachers in India work across CBSE, ICSE, IB, IGCSE, and state-board schools, from foundational primary classrooms through Grade 12. Roles are usually banded as PRT (primary), TGT (Grades 6–10), and PGT (Grades 11–12) — each tier expects a matching qualification, from a graduation with B.Ed for TGT to a Master's degree with B.Ed for PGT.

Beyond subject expertise, schools look for a working command of NCERT curricula or the equivalent international framework, comfort with formative assessment, and — increasingly — the ability to blend classroom teaching with digital tools. Metro schools and IB campuses typically pay a premium for teachers with prior international-board experience or a research-linked postgraduate degree.

Hiring peaks between February and June for the new academic session, with a smaller mid-year window in November for replacement roles. Salary ranges vary sharply by city and school tier: entry-level PRT roles in tier-2 cities can start around ₹20,000–30,000/month, while a PGT position at an established metro school with 7+ years of experience commonly crosses ₹80,000/month.
