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.

For most Delhi students, Class 10 means the CBSE board exam, and from 2026 that exam comes in two rounds: a mandatory first exam and a later sitting to improve up to three subjects. Others in the same colony are preparing for ICSE or IGCSE, with different papers and different risks. Abhinandan Tiwary covers Class 10 maths for CBSE and ICSE on NXTutors, and Aaditya Kashyap covers science for the same two boards. Between them they set out here what each route asks for, where tuition makes the biggest difference, a month-by-month plan from April, and the questions that expose a tutor's board knowledge at the demo.
CBSE is the board most Delhi students sit, as our Delhi tutors page notes. In the main subjects, each paper has an 80-mark board exam and 20 marks of internal assessment from the school, and a student needs 33% to pass a subject. About half of the questions are competency-focused: case studies, assertion and reason, and familiar ideas in unfamiliar settings. What that means for a tutor:
Our CBSE home tutors in Delhi page covers the board from Class 6 to 12.
Under CBSE's notification on two board examinations for Class 10 from 2026, the first exam is mandatory. A second exam gives students the chance to improve their performance in up to three subjects from science, maths, social science and languages. Dates for any year are announced by CBSE on cbse.gov.in; plan from the official notice, not from forwarded messages.
The practical advice is simple. Prepare as though the first exam is the only one. The second sitting is a safety net for one or two subjects that went badly, not a plan to spread revision over a longer period. A tutor should help decide, soon after the first results, whether a second attempt in a subject is worth the extra weeks.
| Board | How the subject is assessed | Main risk |
|---|---|---|
| ICSE maths (CISCE) | A single paper of three hours worth 80 marks; the other 20 come from assignments, judged by the subject teacher together with an external examiner | Incomplete working and a broad syllabus left unrevised |
| ICSE physics, chemistry, biology | Each a 2-hour, 80-mark paper, plus 20 internal marks for practical work | Three science papers to revise, each with its own definitions and diagrams |
| Cambridge IGCSE maths (0580) | All marks from exams; Core leads to grades C–G, Extended to A*–E | Entering the wrong tier |
| Edexcel International GCSE maths (4MA1) | Fully examined; Foundation or Higher tier, grades 9 to 1 | Entering the wrong tier |
See our ICSE and IGCSE tutor pages for Delhi, and the ICSE Class 10 maths guide.
A single tutor can handle maths and science together when the gaps are small. When one subject is clearly behind, or the target is a very high score, paying for a specialist in that subject usually gives more for the money.
The CBSE session opens in April. In Delhi the board year usually moves through these stretches:
| Months | What the tutor and student should do |
|---|---|
| April to June | Download the syllabus and sample papers; close Class 9 gaps; use the summer break to move ahead in maths and science |
| July to September | A test every week on the chapter just finished, an error log, and first-term exams in many schools by September |
| October to December | Complete the syllabus and all internal and practical work; start timed papers one subject at a time |
| Pre-boards, around the turn of the year | Whole papers in one sitting, marked strictly with CBSE's scheme |
| The last few weeks | Work only from the error log and the official date sheet; no new chapters |
ICSE and IGCSE schools run on their own calendars, though the rhythm is similar. Starting in April gives a tutor time to change how a student works; starting after the pre-boards leaves room only for exam technique.
Some Class 10 students also attend coaching or group classes, and a metro ride home across Delhi can take most of an hour. Before adding a home tutor, list every hour of the week, travel included. Keep an hour a day for self-study, put home tuition on days without coaching, have the tutor follow the chapters school is teaching that week with board-style written answers, and guard one free evening and a proper night's sleep through the winter months.
| Zone | How tutors usually arrive | Slot advice |
|---|---|---|
| Saket, Malviya Nagar & Hauz Khas | Yellow Line to Chhatarpur or Qutub Minar for the southern end | Temple crowds slow the main road on festival days; weekdays are easier |
| Vasant Kunj, Vasant Vihar & Palam | Magenta Line to Dashrathpuri, Dabri Mor or Palam | Narrow lanes; metro plus e-rickshaw or a two-wheeler beats a car |
| Dwarka | Blue Line to Sector 10 or 12 | Weekday evening slots in family sectors fill first; book early |
| Janakpuri, Rajouri Garden & Punjabi Bagh | Blue Line along Najafgarh Road | Parking near the markets is hard; metro riders keep time better |
| Pitampura, Model Town & North Campus | Yellow Line to Adarsh Nagar, Model Town or GTB Nagar | Market streets crowd in the evening; start before the rush |
| Laxmi Nagar, Preet Vihar & Shahdara | Pink Line, which has served Yamuna Vihar since the ring was completed in March 2026 | Main roads peak at office hours; earlier slots help |
For maths and science, a tutor at the table can follow each line as it is written, which is why most board-year families start at home. Online earns its place when the right ICSE or IGCSE specialist lives across the Yamuna or at the far end of a metro line, or when an evening trip is not worth an hour of travel. If maths is taught online, agree on a writing tablet, a shared whiteboard or a phone propped over the notebook before the first lesson. Plenty of Class 10 students do well with a Saturday visit at home and a shorter online check-in on a weekday.
Your first lesson with a shortlisted tutor costs nothing. Use the hour to find out whether they know this year's paper, not just the subject:
Not convinced? Another tutor from your shortlist can take a demo instead, and a change later on is free of charge. Every tutor who joins completes an ID check; our parents' demo checklist adds more questions.
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. In a board year, a quote rises or falls with the board, how many subjects are covered, how long the tutor has taught Class 10, how far they travel to reach you in the evening and how many visits a week you book. Each tutor names a fee, and it is on the shortlist before the demo. The pricing guide and our Delhi fees article go into more detail.
Chhatarpur is a large locality off the Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road with its own Yellow Line station; lanes in the enclaves are narrow, so e-rickshaws cover the last leg. Sagarpur is plotted lanes rather than gated societies, close to three Magenta Line stations. Dwarka Sector 5 is almost all society flats between the Sector 10 and 12 stations, so register the tutor at the gate in week one.
Tilak Nagar combines homes with busy markets around its Blue Line station. Adarsh Nagar has its own Yellow Line station, with Majlis Park close by. Yamuna Vihar, in blocks B-1 to C-12, now has a Pink Line station of its own.
The year before is covered on our Class 9 page, and the move into a stream on Class 11 home tutors in Delhi. Share the board, the subjects, your colony or sector and the hours that work; two or three matched tutors come back to you with their fees. Request the free demo, look through tutor profiles, or open the Delhi city page for every colony and sector. Teachers looking for board-year students can start at Delhi tuition jobs.
In the main subjects, CBSE sets an 80-mark board paper and the school awards 20 marks of internal assessment. A student needs 33% to pass each subject, and about half the questions are competency-focused, such as case studies. The internal marks are the easiest to secure, so keep that work complete from the first term.
Yes. CBSE introduced two board exams for Class 10 from 2026: the first is mandatory, and a second exam lets students improve in up to three subjects from science, maths, social science and languages. Prepare as though the first is the only one, and check exam dates on cbse.gov.in when they are announced.
Yes, if both subjects are only slightly behind and the tutor is strong in both. If one subject is clearly weak, or your child is aiming for a high score, a specialist for that subject usually gives better value. Test the tutor on a chapter from each subject during the free demo before deciding.
Yes. For ICSE we match tutors who know the CISCE papers, including the internal assignments, and who insist on complete working. For IGCSE we match on the syllabus and tier, such as Cambridge 0580 Core or Extended, or Edexcel Foundation or Higher. Specialists may live farther away, so a mix of home and online often helps.
In April, when the CBSE session opens, or in your school's first month. The summer break then gives time to fix Class 9 gaps and get ahead. A tutor who starts after the pre-boards can still improve technique and timing, but has very little time left to rebuild weak foundations in maths or science.
NCERT first. The board paper is written from the NCERT books, so every exercise, example and in-text question should be done. Then use CBSE's own sample papers and marking schemes from cbseacademic.nic.in to practise answering in the expected way. Guidebooks can add extra practice, but they should never replace the textbook.
Across NXTutors, most home-tuition sessions fall between ₹800 and ₹2,500 an hour, with Classes 11 and 12, IB, IGCSE and entrance work at the upper end. For Class 10, the board, subjects, the tutor's experience, the journey at your hour and frequency set the fee. You see each shortlisted fee before the demo.
It can, provided the tutor sees your child's working live through a writing tablet, shared whiteboard or a phone camera over the notebook. A common pattern is a weekend home session plus a midweek online one, which saves a long metro trip on busy evenings while keeping regular, checked written practice.
