Tutors who join go through an ID check. Tell us the class, board and your area: we share two or three matched tutors, each with their fee, and the first class is a free demo, at home or online.
Book a free demo classAcross NXTutors, most home-tuition sessions fall between ₹800 and ₹2,500 an hour; Classes 11–12, IB/IGCSE and JEE/NEET sit toward the upper end; specialists for IB HL or JEE Advanced can charge more. Tutors set their own fee, and you see each tutor's fee before the demo class.
Monthly example: 3 one-hour classes a week ≈ ₹9,600–₹32,500 a month (12–13 classes at ₹800–₹2,500 an hour). An example, not a quote: your tutor's own fee decides the real figure.

Senior biology asks two opposite things of the same student. The board paper, whether second PUC, CBSE or ISC, wants full written answers with neat, labelled diagrams. NEET wants instant, exact recall across a huge syllabus, and punishes careless guessing. In Karnataka there is often a third test as well, the CET, with its own rules. A biology tutor has to hold all of this together without letting one target crowd out the others. Share the board, the class, the entrance tests in view and your locality with NXTutors; a shortlist of two or three suitable biology tutors comes back with fees attached, and your opening lesson with any of them is a free demo.
| Exam | Biology in it | Asks of the tutor |
|---|---|---|
| Second PUC (KSEAB) | A paper set by the state board on its own textbooks | This year's PUC textbook, the board's model papers, diagrams drawn to the board's standard |
| CBSE Class 12 (044) | Theory out of 70 plus practicals out of 30, in Class 11 and again in Class 12 | NCERT depth, case-based reading, a complete practical record |
| ISC (863) | 70 for theory, 15 for practical, 10 for the project and 5 for the practical file | Exact terms and detailed, labelled diagrams |
| NEET (UG), 2026 | 90 of the 180 questions, botany and zoology together | Line-by-line NCERT recall with negative marking in mind |
| Karnataka CET, 2026 bulletin | Its own 60-question biology paper, one mark each, no negative marking | Speed across the PUC syllabus; every question attempted |
| IB; IGCSE | IB Biology, SL or HL; for Grades 9 and 10, Cambridge 0610 or Edexcel 4BI1 | Handling data, lab skills, and the IB's own investigation |
Up to Class 10 biology is taught as part of science, so younger students should start with our science home tutor in Mangaluru page.
Families are often unsure which test leads where. Under the Karnataka Examinations Authority's 2026 bulletin, medical, dental and AYUSH seats were filled through NEET, but candidates still had to register with the authority. The CET biology paper was written on the second day with maths, and courses such as B.V.Sc and Animal Husbandry ranked candidates on CET physics, chemistry and biology. So a PCB student in Mangaluru may need three different habits in one year: careful written answers for the board, exact recall with skipping for NEET, and fast, full attempts for the CET. Read each year's bulletin, as the rules can change.
Second PUC itself is examined by the Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB), which sets and revises its own biology scheme; we keep to general advice and point families to kseab.karnataka.gov.in for the current pattern. Ask a PUC biology tutor which textbook edition they teach from and how early they bring in the board's model papers. Our Karnataka board tutor and NEET home tutor pages for Mangaluru go further.
Both years have a 70-mark theory paper. The 2026-27 unit weights tell a tutor where the weeks should go, and which Class 11 units come back later:
| Unit | Class | Marks | Comes back later? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Genetics and Evolution | 12 | 20 | Yes: inheritance problems appear everywhere |
| Human Physiology | 11 | 18 | Yes: one of the most revisited units |
| Reproduction | 12 | 16 | Yes: diagrams and sequences of events |
| Cell | 11 | 15 | Yes: underpins genetics and biotechnology |
| Diversity of Living Organisms | 11 | 15 | Often, as classification questions |
| Plant Physiology | 11 | 12 | Often, as process steps |
| Biotechnology; Human Welfare | 12 | 12 each | Yes: definitions and named examples |
| Structural Organisation; Ecology | 11; 12 | 10 each | Some: data and diagram items |
Revisit Human Physiology and Cell briefly as Class 11 closes, because both return in the final year and in NEET. Our NCERT-first NEET biology guide explains why the textbook comes before any question bank.
CBSE builds each year's 30 practical marks from four things: the experiments, spotting, the record book, and a project defended in a viva. ISC splits its 30 as 15 for the practical exam, 10 for the project and 5 for the practical file. In both, the marks reward a student who keeps the record up to date through the year. A home tutor cannot run the lab, but can check each record entry, drill the spotting of slides and specimens from labelled diagrams, help choose a project the student can explain from start to finish, and rehearse the viva.
In 2026 the NEET (UG) paper had 180 questions, all compulsory and all multiple-choice, worth 720 marks. Biology took 90 of them, shared by botany and zoology, against 45 each for physics and chemistry. Correct answers scored +4, wrong ones −1, and a tie was broken first on the biology score. The National Medical Commission notifies the syllabus and NTA restates the pattern each year; no 2027 bulletin had appeared when this page was written, so check neet.nta.nic.in.
In practice, a tutor builds three habits: reading NCERT closely, captions and tables included; timed objective sets on each chapter as it is finished; and an error log after every mock that records why each mark was lost: a concept, a misread question, or a guess that should have been skipped. If your child also attends coaching, the home tutor's job is to fill the gaps the batch leaves rather than repeat it; our article on NEET coaching, a home tutor or both weighs the options.
Biology brings more new words per chapter than any other school science, and students who learned science in another language before PUC or Class 11 meet them twice. A sensible approach:
School calendars differ, so treat this as an outline to adapt, not a timetable. It assumes a board paper and NEET in the same year, with the CET for some students:
A second PUC or ISC student follows the same outline with the board's own papers in place of CBSE ones. The aim is that no exam waits until another is finished.
Most tutors in Mangaluru travel by city bus, auto or two-wheeler, and senior students' lessons tend to fall in the evening, when certain junctions slow down. Every locality is on our Mangaluru tuition page.
Kadri spreads around Kadri Hill and Kadri Park, and much of it is high-rise housing where the security desk registers visitors; share the tower and flat number before the demo. Bejai next door is mostly apartment buildings, with the KSRTC bus stand in the Lalbagh area close by. Roads here are busiest at office closing time, so early evening or weekends suit.
Bendur, also spelled Bendoor, is easiest to describe by its Bendoorwell junction; towers there register visitors, while houses get a doorstep visit. Balmatta has a settled residential side behind busy Balmatta Road; a tutor arriving by bus steps off on the main road. Traffic towards Pumpwell builds on weekday evenings.
Pandeshwar, close to Mangaluru Central and the City Bus Stand, has apartment towers with gate registration, which suits tutors arriving by bus or train. Falnir, beside the Highland area, mixes flats and taller towers with clinics and offices; visitors sign in at the gate, and two-wheelers park more easily inside the compound.
The Kadri and Bejai zone page and the Mangaluru home tuition guide give more local detail.
Online lessons suit senior biology better than many parents expect: a tutor can sketch structures on a tablet or check a notebook diagram on camera, and reviewing a NEET mock together on screen is quick. A tutor at home is worth more for a student who drifts without someone beside them, or when the record book needs checking page by page. Because an ISC, IB or NEET specialist may live across the city, and the heaviest monsoon weeks can slow some roads, many families combine one home session with one online session each week.
During the free demo, notice whether the tutor finds out what your child knows before teaching, gets your child to draw and label something during the class, can say how the PUC, CBSE or ISC paper differs from NEET, and leaves a plan for revising earlier chapters. If not, the next demo is with another tutor from your shortlist, and switching later costs nothing. The demo class checklist for parents has more.
Across NXTutors, most home-tuition sessions fall between ₹800 and ₹2,500 an hour; Classes 11–12, IB/IGCSE and JEE/NEET sit toward the upper end; specialists for IB HL or JEE Advanced can charge more. Senior and NEET biology therefore sit in the upper part of that range. Tutors set their own fees, and each appears on your shortlist before the demo; see home tuition fees in Mangaluru.
Include the class and board, whether NEET or the CET is on the cards, the chapters that keep going wrong, where you live and when your child is free, and what you would like to spend. Two or three biology tutors come back to you with fees. Tutors who join go through an ID check; the Verified badge appears only after our team has reviewed the ID, as our ID check page explains. Our Mangaluru pages for physics and chemistry cover the rest of PCB, and IGCSE and IB biology are treated at length in the national biology home tutor guide. Biology teachers living in Mangaluru will find current requests on Mangaluru tuition jobs.

Yes. Ask for second PUC by name and we look for tutors who teach from this year's PUC textbook and use the board's model papers early. KSEAB conducts the II PUC examination and revises its scheme, so take the current biology pattern from kseab.karnataka.gov.in rather than older guides.
Under the Karnataka Examinations Authority's 2026 bulletin, medical, dental and AYUSH seats were filled through NEET, though candidates had to register with the authority. The CET biology paper counted for courses such as B.V.Sc and Animal Husbandry. Check the current bulletin, since rules can change each year.
Half the paper. In 2026 NEET had 180 compulsory questions for 720 marks, and 90 of them were biology, split between botany and zoology. Each right answer earned four marks and each wrong one lost a mark, and biology scores were used first to break ties.
In Class 12, Genetics and Evolution leads with 20 of 70 theory marks, then Reproduction with 16. In Class 11, Human Physiology carries 18, and Cell and Diversity of Living Organisms 15 each. Human Physiology and Cell also return often in final-year revision and NEET.
Yes, for much of it. CBSE gives 30 practical marks each year and ISC splits 30 across the practical exam, project and file. A tutor can check record entries, drill spotting from labelled diagrams, help choose a manageable project and rehearse viva questions, even though experiments happen at school.
We match across Hampankatta and the centre, Kadri and Bejai, Kankanady and Jeppu, the Urwa to Kavoor stretch, and Surathkal in the north. Evening lessons run most smoothly with a tutor from your side of the busier junctions, and online sessions cover specialists who live further away.
Tell us the class, board and your area. We share two or three matched tutors, and the first class is a free demo.
