Shadow teachers and special educators in Kharadi.
Shadow teachers, special educators and remedial tutors for families in Kharadi's townships and apartment complexes on Pune's eastern IT corridor.
Kharadi, Pune
Kharadi grew around the IT parks on the city's eastern side and is now largely townships and gated apartment complexes. Families here are often young, dual-income and new to Pune, with children in schools close to home and parents working long hours nearby. We introduce shadow teachers, special educators and remedial tutors to Kharadi families, check each candidate's qualifications, identity and work history, and interview them twice, once on safeguarding and once on children like the family's own. The school is contacted before anyone is placed, and daily notes and a monthly written report keep parents informed.
Kharadi has IB, Cambridge, CBSE and ICSE schools, several within or next to the larger townships, with more in Viman Nagar and Wagholi. Families who have moved from other cities often pick CBSE for continuity. At the time of writing (September 2026), CBSE requests for exam concessions must be made through the online portal with the school's list of candidates, and no additions are allowed after the deadline. A shadow teacher starting in Class VIII or IX should know that the family will need its paperwork ready well before Class X. Confirm the current process with the school.
The commute and the languages.
Nagar Road and the Kharadi bypass are heavily congested at office hours, and traffic from the IT parks overlaps with the school run. Distances inside a township are short, so a practitioner who lives in Kharadi, Chandan Nagar, Wagholi or Viman Nagar can often manage the school and a home session in the same day. Candidates crossing from the west of the city usually struggle to keep it up for a full academic year. When shortlisting, we check the route at the times the role requires, not at a quiet hour.
English and Hindi are the common languages in Kharadi homes, with Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali and Odia spoken in many families who moved here for work. Children are usually English-first at school. If a grandparent living with the family speaks mainly a regional language, name it in the brief so we can say plainly whether a shortlisted candidate shares it.

Questions from Kharadi families
We live in a township in Kharadi. Can the shadow teacher also do an afternoon session at home?+
Yes, and townships make this easier, since school and home are often close together. We write both parts into the brief so candidates know the full day. The thirty-day review checks whether the combined role is sustainable for the child and the professional.
Can a shadow teacher travel to Kharadi from Hadapsar?+
Some do, but the road through Mundhwa can be slow at peak hours. We ask candidates from Hadapsar how they would travel and whether they have done the route in school-run traffic. A candidate from Kharadi, Viman Nagar or Wagholi is often more reliable over a full year.
We moved to Kharadi from another state. Will our child's old assessment be accepted?+
Special Minds does not assess or certify, so what counts depends on the school and the board. For a shadow teacher, the school usually wants to see an existing report. For exam concessions, each board sets its own evidence rules. Ask the school what it needs and whether a fresh certificate will be required.
