CBSE Home Tutor in Imphal (Classes 6–12)

Who sets the exam at each CBSE stage?

This page carries two bylines: Abhinandan Tiwary, who teaches Class 10 maths for CBSE and ICSE, and Aaditya Kashyap, who teaches CBSE and ICSE science. Knowing who sets the paper tells a tutor how much the board's own sample papers matter at each stage.

Note the contrast with the council: a COHSEM student sits a council-set examination in Class XI, while a CBSE student's Class 11 examination is set by the school. That does not make Class 11 less important on CBSE; it decides how ready a student is for Class 12.

What changed in Class 9 from 2026-27?

CBSE's 2026-27 secondary curriculum adds an optional Advanced level in Class 9 maths and science, in addition to the common course, and the old Standard and Basic split in maths is being discontinued, although the 2026-27 Class 10 batch continues under the earlier scheme. For a family, the practical question is whether the Advanced papers suit the child. A tutor can help decide by looking at how comfortably the child handles the regular course by the middle of the year, rather than by ambition alone. Class 9 is also the right time to settle weak arithmetic, algebra and chemical formulae, because Class 10 leaves little room to go back.

How does the Class 10 board year work now?

In major subjects, the Class 10 result combines an 80-mark board paper with 20 marks of internal assessment, and a student needs at least 33% to pass a subject. CBSE now holds two Class 10 board examinations: the first is compulsory, and an optional second sitting lets a student improve up to three subjects. For a tutor, that changes the shape of the year. The plan should aim at the first sitting as if it were the only one, and then use the second, if needed, for the one or two subjects that fell short.

• Maths: 38 compulsory questions in five sections, A to E, in three hours. See the Class 10 maths preparation guide.
• Science: 39 questions, with biology 30, chemistry 25 and physics 25 of the 80 marks. See the Class 10 science notes.

How are Classes 11 and 12 marked on CBSE?

The totals look alike, but the papers do not: CBSE's Class 12 physics and chemistry papers have 33 questions in five sections, while the council's have 36 questions without sections. A tutor who teaches both must keep separate practice sets. CBSE students choose either Mathematics or Applied Mathematics, not both. Our guides to Class 12 physics, Class 12 chemistry and Class 12 maths go chapter by chapter.

What if your child moves between CBSE and a council school?

Some students finish Class 10 on CBSE and join Class XI in a council-recognised school or college, and some go the other way. The council's rules say students from any board other than the Board of Secondary Education, Manipur must obtain the council's Eligibility Certificate before Class XI admission; the form is on cohsem.nic.in, and admission without it is treated as invalid. Start that paperwork early.

Academically, the move is manageable because both systems teach maths and science from NCERT books at this level. The adjustments are the paper designs, the council's own English books, and the fact that Class XI becomes a public examination. A tutor who knows both can make the switch in the first term: start with the council's paper design for each subject, read the council's English anthology early, and treat the first periodic test as a rehearsal for the Class XI examination. Going the other way, from a council school to CBSE, the main changes are the five-section papers and CBSE's own sample papers. The Manipur Board tutor page explains BOSEM and COHSEM in more detail.

What does a sensible CBSE tuition week look like?

For a Class 10 student, two visits a week in maths and one or two in science usually cover the board year without crowding out school work. Each visit should include something marked: a section of a sample paper, a set of case-based questions or a written explanation. For Classes 11 and 12, plan subject by subject, and an evening online session can be added before tests. A separate tutor for each senior subject often makes sense, since each paper has its own design and practical or internal work. For the wettest weeks of the year, settle beforehand that a visit may become an online session on a heavy-rain day instead of being lost.

Which subject pages should you read next?

Each Imphal subject page covers CBSE alongside the council: maths, science for Classes 6 to 10, physics, chemistry and English. For lessons from a tutor anywhere in India, see online tutors for Imphal. The Class 10 maths and Class 12 maths pages explain how we match for the board years, and the Gurugram CBSE page has more on competency-based questions.

How do tutors reach your side of Imphal?

Most tutors travel by two-wheeler or auto, and Imphal's leikai names matter for a first visit. Five localities, from all three parts of the city:

• Thangmeiband: a large central area of many leikais; tutors from Uripok, Langol and Lamphel can reach it, ideally before the late-afternoon market traffic.
• Keishampat: a compact cluster with Kwakeithel and Sagolband next door; similar leikai names make a landmark essential.
• Sagolband: central, with many named lanes; give the leikai, the lane and a landmark.
• Porompat: the Imphal East district headquarters; lessons that start once offices close usually begin on time.
• Wangkhei: east of the river, with tutors from Khurai and Chingmeirong close by.

The Imphal page lists every locality, and the zone pages for Uripok, Thangmeiband and Lamphel, Sagolband, Keishampat and Singjamei and Wangkhei, Khurai and Porompat add detail.

Which questions should you ask a CBSE tutor at the demo?

1. Which sample paper and marking scheme will you use this year, and where do they come from?
2. How would you plan for the first Class 10 sitting, and when would the second be worth taking?
3. How will you handle case-based and assertion-reason questions?
4. For Classes 11 and 12: how will you prepare the practical or internal marks?
5. Have you taught students moving to or from a council school?

What do CBSE tutors in Imphal charge, and how do you start?

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. Rates are set by each tutor and shown on the shortlist before any demo; the pricing guide and the Imphal fee guide help you compare.

Send the class, subjects, your locality and leikai, and the afternoons that suit. Two or three CBSE tutors come back; the first class is a free demo, and switching later is free. Tutors who join go through an ID check. Browse tutor profiles or book a demo class; teachers can see requests on Imphal tuition jobs, and the Imphal home tuition guide walks through the city.
