Empowering women educators. Helping kids read.
Saheli began as a teacher-training programme for women across India who wanted to build a career teaching phonics. Hundreds of certifications later, we kept hearing the same thing from our graduates:
"I'm certified — but how do parents find me?"
This marketplace is our answer. A discovery-first directory where parents and schools can find Saheli-certified teachers and contact them directly. We don't take a cut of classes. Teachers pay a small subscription to stay listed — that's it.

"A verified woman educator for every child. A dignified income for every educator. No gatekeepers. Just trust."
The spark. As a mother and an educator, I watched two silent crises unfold side by side — children losing reading confidence in their earliest years, and brilliantly skilled women losing their careers to caregiving and circumstance.
Why Saheli. The word saheli means a trusted friend. I built Saheli to be exactly that — the friend who connects both worlds. No commissions. No gatekeepers.
The vision. By 2030 — 1,00,000 Indian children reading confidently, taught by 10,000 women earning independently from home.

Saheli · LevelUp Online
"Saheli" means a trusted friend.
That's exactly what we're building — for your child, and for her teacher.
In India, millions of qualified women — homemakers, retired educators, new mothers — have the skill to teach but no platform to be discovered. Meanwhile, parents struggle to find a teacher they can trust. Saheli closes both gaps with one warm, accountable directory.
A friend, not a marketplace
We refuse the cold, transactional gig-economy model. Saheli is a community of verified women educators, supported by a team that knows them by name.
Built for women, by design
100% women teachers. Flexible from-home work. Transparent pricing they set themselves. Free profile, free certification path, zero commission — ever.
Two lives, every class
Every demo booked = a child gaining reading confidence + a woman gaining ₹400–₹1,200/hour of independent income. We measure success in both.
Three beliefs that shape every decision.
Every child deserves a confident reading start.
Reading is the foundation of school confidence. We won't compromise on quality of instruction.
Every certified teacher deserves visibility.
Not a sales pipeline. Not a commission cut. Just a fair platform to be discovered.
Trust is built profile by profile.
Verified credentials, real reviews, transparent pricing. Trust isn't claimed — it's earned.
Two plans. One promise: no commissions, ever.
Start free. Upgrade when you're ready to be discovered.
