CBSE Home Tutor in Port Blair (Sri Vijaya Puram)

What do the official pages say about schools and boards?

Three points come from official sources, and we state nothing beyond them about the islands' schools:

• CBSE affiliation. The district administration's education page says that all senior secondary and secondary schools are affiliated to CBSE.
• Five mediums. The same page lists education in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Bengali; its figures are dated, so ask your school which medium applies to your child's section.
• A common portal. The Directorate of Education has run a web portal for its CBSE-affiliated government schools, whose list includes secondary or senior secondary schools at Aberdeen, Haddo, School Line, Junglighat, Delanipur, Dairy Farm, South Point and Prothrapur.

Families on ICSE, IB or Cambridge courses, for example after moving from the mainland, should say so in their request; specialists for those papers are usually found online. The rest of this page is about CBSE.

Where should a CBSE tutor's effort go, class by class?

What changes in Classes 9 and 10 under the 2026-27 curriculum?

In the major subjects the board paper carries 80 marks and the school 20, and 33% is needed to pass. Close to half of each paper is competency-based, built on cases, data and real situations rather than plain recall.

Class 9 maths and science now have a single common paper for everyone. Alongside it sits an optional Advanced paper in each subject: one hour, 25 marks, higher-order questions on additional content. Its marks stay out of the aggregate, though a result of 50% or above appears on the marksheet. Maths is also leaving behind its Basic and Standard split; students in Class 10 in 2026-27 are the final batch to take it.

Class 10 has two board examinations. Every student sits the first; those who pass may sit the second to improve up to three of science, maths, social science and the languages. Treat the first as the real examination. Our board-year planner, the Class 10 maths guide and the Class 10 science notes go into detail.

How are marks split in Classes 11 and 12?

Class 12 has one main board examination. In 2026 the practical examinations began in January and the theory papers on 17 February; later dates belong to cbse.gov.in. Each year's sample paper sets out the paper design, so a tutor should work from the current one. Commerce students should decide early whether they want help in accountancy; if no specialist is free nearby at the right hour, it is a subject that works well online.

How does the medium of instruction change tuition?

The syllabus is CBSE's whichever medium a school teaches in, but the medium changes how a tutor should explain. The city research notes, for instance, Hindi-medium and Telugu-medium schooling at Haddo and a Tamil-medium primary school on the Aberdeen side.

What happens after Class 10?

Some localities have government secondary schools that end at Class 10, so a student may change school for Classes 11 and 12; the city research describes this for Delanipur, for example. A change of school, new classmates and new stream subjects arrive together. A tutor who already knows the student is a steady point through that change. Three things help: choose the stream with the Class 10 results and the student's interest in view, start the new subjects with a tutor in the first month rather than after the first test, and keep any entrance plan realistic until Class 11 physics and maths feel secure.

How should a tutor teach competency-based questions?

With close to half of each secondary paper built on cases and data, a tutor who drills only textbook exercises leaves marks behind. These questions test reading as much as subject knowledge, which matters even more for a student working in a second language. A steady routine:

1. Read the passage once for the story, then again marking every number and condition.
2. Name the textbook idea underneath: a ratio, a reflex arc, a balanced equation, Ohm's law.
3. Answer each part separately, so one mistake does not spill into the next.
4. Write the reasoning, because a bare answer earns little.

At the demo, ask the tutor to teach one such question. Abhinandan Tiwary's role covers Class 10 CBSE maths, and Aaditya Kashyap's covers CBSE physics, chemistry and biology.

How should an island year be planned?

The inter-island ships that leave from Phoenix Bay run on set days, so a family that travels for work can plan those weeks in advance. The online tutors for Port Blair page explains the set-up.

How do CBSE tutors reach six localities?

Zones: Aberdeen and the old town, Junglighat and the central localities and the expansion villages. Every area is on the Sri Vijaya Puram (Port Blair) page.

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

1. Is the optional Advanced paper in Class 9 a good idea for my child, and why?
2. Which board examination in Class 10 are you planning for, and what would make the second one worth taking?
3. Can you explain in my child's school medium where needed, while answers stay in the paper's language?
4. Which year's sample paper are you working from at the moment?
5. If we travel, or the rain is heavy, does the lesson move online at the same hour?

We send two or three matched tutors with fees shown before the demo; the first class is free, and switching later is free too. The demo class checklist has more.

What do CBSE tutors 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. Tutors set their own fee, which you see before booking. The pricing guide and home tuition fees in Port Blair explain what to ask.
