How we wrote this
TaleemSquare offers online one-to-one tutoring, so we compete with Bhanzu. Prices come from Bhanzu's own announcements listed at the end, checked in October 2026.
Bhanzu is an online math company founded by Neelakantha Bhanu Prakash, known as the World's Fastest Human Calculator. It teaches live math classes online in small groups, with a focus on making math engaging and building speed and understanding. In 2026 it introduced month-to-month plans in the US, UK and Canada, which makes its pricing easier to compare.
How much does Bhanzu cost per month?
Bhanzu's published monthly plans, as of October 2026:
| Country | Monthly price | Per class | Group size | Grades |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United States | $160 a month | From $24 a class | Up to 6 students | K to 9 |
| United Kingdom | From £160 a month | From £15 a lesson | Up to 6 students | Reception to Year 9 |
| Canada | $192 CAD a month | Not stated | Up to 6 students | K to 9 |
In the US, Bhanzu says the plan is billed month to month with no lump-sum term fee. The Canadian announcement lists two live sessions a week, which would be about eight or nine sessions a month.
What do you get for the fee?
According to Bhanzu, you get live online classes in a small group of up to six students, taught by a Bhanzu teacher, for kindergarten through grade 9. Class length and weekly frequency can vary by plan and country, so ask Bhanzu exactly how many classes a month your child will attend and how long each lasts. That tells you the real cost per hour.
What does a typical month look like?
Take the Canadian plan as an example, because it states the schedule. At two live sessions a week, a child attends about eight or nine classes a month for $192 CAD, roughly $21 to $24 CAD a class. The US figure of "from $24 a class" suggests a similar rhythm at $160 a month, but Bhanzu's US announcement does not spell out the weekly schedule, so confirm it before you compare.
Months with five weeks, holidays and missed classes all change the real price per class. Ask whether a missed group class can be made up in another group, because a class that runs without your child still counts toward the monthly fee.
Is a small group class good value?
Small groups have real advantages. Children can learn from classmates, and the price per class is lower than most one-to-one tutoring. The trade-off is attention: with up to six students, a teacher cannot tailor every minute to your child. Group classes tend to suit children who are broadly on track and want engaging practice; children with specific gaps usually move faster one-to-one.
Who is Bhanzu best for?
Based on its format, Bhanzu tends to fit children who:
- Are roughly at grade level and want math to feel more engaging.
- Enjoy working alongside other children and answering in front of a group.
- Have a family budget that suits a flat monthly fee rather than a long prepaid term.
It is a weaker fit for a child with a specific gap, such as fractions or multi-step word problems, who needs a teacher to slow down and reteach one idea several ways. It also may not suit a child who goes quiet in groups. For those children, one-to-one lessons usually make more progress per hour.
How does Bhanzu compare on price?
| Option | Format | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| Bhanzu | Live small group, up to 6 students | $160 a month (US) |
| Cuemath | Live one-to-one, 6 or 12 month plans | See our Cuemath pricing guide |
| Thinkster Math | Live one-to-one sessions plus AI practice | From $22.50 per session (reported) |
| TaleemSquare | Live one-to-one, monthly | From $85 a month for two 45-minute lessons a week |
TaleemSquare's Starter plan is $85 a month for two 45-minute one-to-one lessons a week, about $10.63 per lesson, so your child has the tutor's full attention for less than a group plan. See pricing, including UK and Canadian prices.
How can you compare fairly?
When comparing Bhanzu with other options, work out three numbers for each:
- Cost per month at the number of classes your child needs.
- Minutes of teaching per month, from class length times classes.
- Share of attention, which is the whole class for one-to-one and a fraction of it in a group of six.
A cheaper plan can cost more per minute of individual attention, and a pricier plan can be better value if it moves your child forward faster.
What should you ask before signing up?
- How many classes a month does my plan include, and how long is each?
- How are children grouped by level within a class of up to six?
- Will my child have the same teacher each week?
- What is the cancellation and refund policy, and when does billing happen?
What to do next
- Confirm classes per month and class length for your country's Bhanzu plan.
- Decide whether your child needs group engagement or one-to-one help.
