CBSE Home Tutor in Shillong (Classes 6–12)

What a CBSE tutor should concentrate on, stage by stage

CBSE's Class 10 pass mark is 33% per subject. Difficulties that surface in Class 9 usually began with weak fractions or early algebra a couple of years before, which is why tuition in Classes 6 to 8 is most useful as repair rather than acceleration.

Classes 9 and 10 under the 2026-27 curriculum

For chapter-level help, read our guide to Class 10 maths, the CBSE science notes for Class 10 and the month-by-month board-year plan.

Classes 11 and 12: how marks divide

Nearly a third of each science subject is practical, which makes the lab file and viva as much a tutor's business as the theory chapters. CBSE adjusts its question design slightly every session through the sample paper, so ask which year's sample the tutor works from.

CBSE beside MBOSE: what a tutor must keep separate

A family may have children on different boards, and students sometimes move from one to the other. The overlap is real but not complete, and a tutor who teaches both should know where the lines fall.

The practical lesson: in Class 10, use each board's own sample papers and never assume one board's rules, such as CBSE's second exam, apply to the other. In Classes 11 and 12 the papers look much more alike, so a strong CBSE tutor can often serve an HSSLC student too, provided they also use the MBOSE sample papers. For the state board in detail, see MBOSE tutors in Shillong.

A weekly plan that keeps board marks safe

When a senior student is also aiming at JEE or NEET, entrance practice quietly takes over the evenings. Three fixtures keep the board subjects alive in even the busiest week:

1. One long answer per core subject. Written against the clock and marked line by line with the CBSE scheme, because multiple-choice drills do not teach a student to lay out a derivation.
2. One look at the lab file or project. Readings complete, diagrams labelled, a few viva questions asked aloud.
3. One NCERT chapter revisited. The weakest one that week, since board questions are drawn from the textbook's own text and exercises.

For entrance preparation, see the national JEE and NEET home tutor pages.

Home or online for CBSE in Shillong?

Up to Class 8, children learn more with an adult beside them who can see each line they write. From Class 9 the picture is mixed: maths and science still benefit from a visit, while English, social science and quick revision checks transfer well to a screen. A screen also covers the evenings the hills make awkward, such as cold winter nights or days of heavy monsoon rain. A common pattern is one visit plus one online lesson each week; the online tutors for Shillong page explains the set-up. Subject pages for the city: maths, science, physics, chemistry and English.

How CBSE tutors reach five Shillong localities

With no railway in the city, tutors come by shared taxi, city bus or their own vehicle. Five examples of what to arrange:

• Mawprem (Police Bazar and Jaiaw zone): homes are reached from hill roads and connecting lanes, so say Upper or Lower Mawprem and name a church, shop or bus stop. Tutors already teaching in the central wards are close.
• Mawkhar: one of the oldest parts of the city, beside the Iewduh (Bara Bazar) market and the Jhalupara bus stand. Market roads are busy in the day, so late afternoon or evening works better; for a flat above shops, share the floor and a phone number.
• Lawsohtun (Laban and Upper Shillong zone): a quieter residential pocket by Laban, Lumparing and Rilbong, often reached by sloping lanes. Shared taxis on the Laban routes help tutors without a vehicle.
• Madanrting (Laitumkhrah and Rynjah zone): on the edge of the city along the main road out, with stops at Mawblei and Madanrting. Tutors who already teach in Nongthymmai or Rynjah are the natural match; new lanes may not show on maps.
• Nongmynsong (Mawlai and Pynthorumkhrah zone): formerly Lalchand Basti, between Pynthorumkhrah and Rynjah, with the Nongmynsong and Umkdait stops on the main road. Mention any steps down from the road.

Zone pages: Police Bazar and Jaiaw, Laban and Upper Shillong, Laitumkhrah and Rynjah and Mawlai and Pynthorumkhrah. Every locality is on the Shillong home tutors page.

What to check at the free demo

1. The current documents. Can the tutor name this session's changes, such as the Class 9 Advanced paper or the two Class 10 exams?
2. Marking, not just teaching. Ask the tutor to mark one of your child's recent answers against the CBSE scheme.
3. Practical work. For Classes 11 and 12, how will the file and viva be checked through the year?
4. Board clarity. If the tutor also teaches MBOSE students, are they clear which rules belong to which board?

Your shortlist has two or three tutors, each fee shown. The opening class is a free demo, and switching tutor at any later point is free as well. Tutors who join NXTutors go through an ID check before the profile is marked Verified. More questions are in the demo class checklist.

Fees and getting started

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 rates; the pricing guide and the home tuition fees in Shillong article explain what moves them.

Send the class, subjects, school timings and your locality with a landmark, then book the free demo class, or look through tutor profiles first. Teachers of CBSE subjects can find openings on Shillong tuition jobs.
