the children.
Tutors & Guides…
Discovery… Learning Beyond Classroom
Professionally trained tutors are
deployed who can well handle
the curiosity of students.
Tutors accompany them from
the beginning to the end of the
tour, so they share healthy
rapport with students.
Being well tuned with tutors,
students understand effectively
from them.
Other Tour Packages
Local guides are employed
who may treat children as
mere customers.
Guides accompany children
only on specific places of visit
so they don’t have healthy
rapport.
Being strangers, children may
not feel comfortable asking
questions to the local guides.
Learning…
Discovery… Learning Beyond Classroom
Professionally trained
tutors inform the students
well in advance so they
approach the places,
processes, people and
events with a perfect

something from them.

may not be able to explain

Child Friendly Approach…
Discovery… Learning Beyond Classroom
Places and activities are
selected keeping the age
group in mind.
Students of same age
group can relate well with
each other and thus enjoy
learning together.

students.
Other Tour Packages
Children may not feel
comfortable on a tour mainly
designed for adults.
Perspectives of children and
