About Hunarzai
The people of skill
Hunarzai (هنرزی) joins hunar, skill, with zai, the Pashto for “son of” or “people of”, the ending you hear in family names like Yousafzai.
We’re building a place where anyone in Pakistan can learn, from school subjects and entry tests to skills that pay, with teachers who know their subject, in the language they think in.
Why we started
Pakistan has brilliant teachers, and students everywhere who want to learn, whether it’s Class 9 physics, MDCAT or a skill that pays. Too often something stands in the way: fees, distance, language, or no one to ask when you’re stuck. Hunarzai is here to fix that, for students and for teachers.
For students
What gets in the way
- Academy and tuition fees add up month after month.
- The best teachers and subject experts are often in another city.
- YouTube is free and useful, but you can't ask the teacher anything when you're stuck.
- Miss a class and it's gone. Most courses for skills like AI, design and marketing are only in English.
What Hunarzai does
- Pay once for a course, in rupees, with no monthly subscription. Bank transfer from any Pakistani bank or banking app.
- Verified teachers and subject experts from across Pakistan: Class 1 to A Level on Federal, provincial and Cambridge boards, entry tests like MDCAT and ECAT, and skills that pay.
- Ask your teacher questions on the course page, or there and then in a live class.
- Recorded, live or hybrid classes. Watch recorded lessons as many times as you need.
- Teachers can teach in Urdu, English, Punjabi, Pashto, Sindhi, Saraiki, Balochi, Hindko, Brahui or Kashmiri, so you learn in the language you think in.
For teachers
What gets in the way
- Many teachers are paid far less than their knowledge is worth.
- A classroom or academy only reaches the students who can get there.
- Selling a course online on your own means a website, payments, receipts, certificates and often an international payment account.
- Recorded lectures and notes get copied and shared without the teacher earning anything.
What Hunarzai does
- You set your own price. Keep 90% of every sale from your own link and 60% of sales Hunarzai brings you.
- We bring the students: Hunarzai promotes courses to students across Pakistan.
- Record a course once and it keeps teaching. There's no limit on how many students can join unless you set a class size.
- We handle the website, payments and certificates. You're paid in rupees twice a month by bank transfer, JazzCash or Easypaisa, with no PayPal, Payoneer or foreign account needed.
- Apart from free previews, lessons are only for students who've joined, and a paid course plays on one of their devices at a time.
What we care about
Your language, not ours
Teachers choose the language they teach in: Urdu, English, Punjabi, Pashto, Sindhi, Saraiki, Balochi, Hindko, Brahui or Kashmiri. Your energy goes into the skill, not into translating the lesson in your head.
Clear about what you'll learn
Every course says up front what you'll be able to do by the end. School and exam courses follow the syllabus for your class and board.
Made for your phone
Every page works on a phone, and we check that text in lessons can be read on a small screen. You can add Hunarzai to your home screen like an app.
Pay the way you already pay
Bank transfer from any Pakistani bank or banking app. JazzCash, Easypaisa and card are coming soon. No hidden fees on our side.
How we keep it trustworthy
You’re trusting us with your money and your time. Here’s what we do about that.
Every teacher is verified
Before their first course goes live, teachers send their CNIC and a short sample lesson, and our team checks both.
Every course is reviewed
Our team checks each course against our quality standards before it goes live, and again when a live course changes.
Try before you pay
Recorded and hybrid courses have at least one free preview lesson, so you can see how the teacher explains before you buy.
A fair refund policy
If a course isn't right for you, you can ask for a full refund within 30 days, as long as you've used no more than 30% of a recorded course, or before your second live class starts on a live or hybrid course. The full conditions are in the refund policy.
Read the course quality standards and the refund policy.
Three ways to learn
Learn at your own pace: after school, after work or late at night before the paper. Every lesson is ready when you are.
