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.

Nobody sits a board exam in Classes 6 to 8, so these years are easy to underrate. Yet this is where algebra first appears, science splits into topics with their own vocabulary, a third language arrives for many CBSE students, and the child is expected to study with less help. Gaps that open here tend to surface as a shock in Class 9. In this guide, Aaditya Kashyap, who writes on CBSE and ICSE science for NXTutors, and our Academic Team explain what changes in middle school on each board Delhi children follow, which subjects most often need support, which habits to build, and how to find a tutor who can reach your colony or sector on a weekday evening.
Four shifts happen at once, and a tutor's job is to keep any one of them from snowballing:
CBSE is the board most Delhi students sit, with a sizeable ICSE following and a smaller IB and Cambridge group, as our Delhi tutors page sets out. In middle school, every board leaves the exams to the school, but the books and expectations differ:
| Board | What is distinctive in Classes 6 to 8 | What the tutor should know |
|---|---|---|
| CBSE | New NCERT books, Ganita Prakash for maths and Curiosity for science; three languages (R1, R2, R3), two native to India, with R3 compulsory from Class 6 from 2026-27; computational thinking and AI literacy inside existing subjects | Work from the new books, including their activities and puzzles; do not teach from older editions a sibling used |
| ICSE (CISCE) | Schools choose their own books up to Class 8; a third language from at least Class 5 to Class 8, examined internally | Follow the school's exact books; expect longer written answers and plenty of English |
| IB MYP | Ages 11 to 16 over five years; eight subject groups, each with at least 50 teaching hours a year; assessment against published criteria | Understand criterion-based marking and support unit projects without doing them |
| Cambridge Lower Secondary | Typically ages 11 to 14; Checkpoint is an optional assessment | Use the school's scheme; practise Checkpoint-style questions only if the school enters students |
Our CBSE, ICSE and IB pages for Delhi cover each board across the classes.
| Subject | Where marks usually slip | What a tutor does |
|---|---|---|
| Maths | Negative numbers, fractions, the first algebra, word problems | Rebuilds number sense with diagrams and real examples before drilling methods |
| Science | Using terms loosely, labelled diagrams, simple numericals on speed or density | Insists on precise words and clean diagrams; links each chapter to something seen at home |
| English | Grammar in context, structured paragraphs, comprehension inference | Short weekly writing with feedback; reading beyond the textbook |
| Hindi or the third language | Spelling, grammar, unseen passages | A fixed short slot each week so it does not get squeezed out |
| Social science | Map work and long answers | Usually a reading routine, not regular tuition |
Our maths and science pages for Delhi go deeper, and the national Class 6 maths page sets out the new chapters.
By the end of Class 8, a student should be able to do these without a parent standing over them. A tutor should be building them all along, not just teaching chapters:
Our article on note-making and time management is a good place for a Class 7 or 8 student to start.
An hour with a Class 7 student goes further when it has a shape the child can predict. A pattern we suggest to tutors and parents alike:
After a month, ask your child to show you the mistakes list. If it is growing and being used, the sessions are working.
Middle school brings model-making, survey projects, science activities and, in IB schools, unit tasks marked against criteria. A tutor can explain the brief, help the student plan the steps, suggest where to find information and check that the work answers the question. The tutor should not write, draw or build the work. A simple test: could your child explain every part of the project to the teacher without help? If not, the tutor did too much.
| Zone | Route a tutor usually takes | Slot advice |
|---|---|---|
| Saket, Malviya Nagar & Hauz Khas | Green Park on the Yellow Line, or Bhikaji Cama Place on the Pink Line for the western blocks | Cross the Outer Ring Road junctions before or after office hours |
| Kalkaji, CR Park & Sarita Vihar | Kalkaji Mandir, where the Violet and Magenta Lines meet, or Jasola Apollo | Move to mornings or online in festival weeks |
| Dwarka | Blue Line to the sector station, then a walk or e-rickshaw | Fix one weekly time so the gate list stays simple |
| Janakpuri, Rajouri Garden & Punjabi Bagh | Blue Line along Najafgarh Road, or Mayapuri on the Pink Line | Market lanes have little parking; metro riders arrive more reliably |
| Rohini | Deepali Chowk on the Magenta Line, or the Red Line stations | Outer Ring Road traffic builds in the evening; start a little earlier |
| Laxmi Nagar, Preet Vihar & Shahdara | Blue, Pink or Red Line, then an e-rickshaw | Avoid peak hours on the main roads; lanes are tight for cars |
By Class 7 or 8, many students cope well online, especially for one subject. Home suits a child who loses focus easily or who needs someone to check the notebook page by page. Online widens the choice when the right tutor, say an MYP science specialist, lives on another line or across the Yamuna; the tutor must see the student's working through a shared whiteboard or a phone camera over the notebook. A common Delhi pattern is a home session for maths and science and an online one for English or a language.
The first class with the tutor you choose is a free demo. Ask the tutor to work on a chapter your child found hard this term, and watch for:
If the fit is wrong, the next tutor on your shortlist can come, and switching later is free. Tutors who join go through an ID check. See our demo class checklist for 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. For middle school the board, the number of subjects, how often the tutor comes and how far they travel at your hour all affect the fee. Tutors set their own, and you see each one before the demo. Read the pricing guide or home tuition fees in Delhi.
Safdarjung Enclave has three lines close by, Pink, Yellow and Magenta, which widens the choice of tutors for families there. Jasola Vihar has DDA pockets with RWA gates beside an office district, so evening sessions after the rush work well. Dwarka Sector 14, mostly DDA flats at the Kakrola end, has its own Blue Line station.
In Hari Nagar, tutors usually come from Subhash Nagar or Mayapuri station, and DDA pockets may log visitors at the gate. Rohini Sector 3 is large, so share your pocket letter, 3A to 3G, with the house number. Geeta Colony is closely built, so a tutor coming by metro and e-rickshaw is the practical choice.

A home tutor is worth it in Delhi's middle-school years when maths or science gaps grow, a third language slips, or a child cannot yet study alone. These years have no board exam. Gaps left here usually surface as a shock in Class 9, so fixing them now costs less.
A CBSE middle-school tutor in Delhi should teach from the current NCERT books your child's school uses, Ganita Prakash for maths and Curiosity for science. They include activities and puzzles that matter for school tests. An older edition an elder sibling used will miss chapters and today's question style.
Yes, under CBSE's 2026-27 curriculum, a third language, R3, is compulsory from Class 6 for CBSE students in Delhi. Students study three languages, R1, R2 and R3, at least two native to India. Check which languages your child's school offers, and give the third language a fixed short weekly slot.
In Delhi, ICSE, IB MYP and Cambridge schools all examine Classes 6 to 8 themselves, but in different ways. ICSE schools choose their own books up to Class 8, with a third language examined internally. The MYP marks against published criteria, and Cambridge Lower Secondary Checkpoint is optional.
Yes, one Delhi tutor can usually take both maths and science for a middle-school child well, which also saves travel and scheduling. If one subject is clearly weak, or the school is IB MYP or Cambridge with criterion-based work, a specialist may suit better. Test both subjects at the free demo.
A Delhi tutor should explain a Class 6 to 8 project brief, help plan the steps, suggest sources and check that the work answers the question. The tutor should not write, draw or build it. A simple test: your child should be able to explain every part to the teacher without help.
By the end of Class 8, a Delhi student should keep a dated notebook with corrections in a different colour and a mistakes list reviewed before every test. They should read each question twice, show every maths step, and follow a weekly plan that includes self-study, without a parent standing over them.
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. For middle school in Delhi, the board, the number of subjects, how often the tutor comes and how far they travel at your hour affect the fee. Tutors set their own, and you see each one before the free demo.
To book a Class 6 to 8 home tutor for your Delhi colony, send the class, board, subjects, colony or sector and the evenings that suit you. We send two or three matched tutors, each fee shown before the first class. The first class is a free demo, and switching tutor later is free.
Many Class 7 or 8 students in Delhi learn well online, especially for one subject or when the right specialist lives on another metro line or across the Yamuna. The tutor must see written working through a shared whiteboard or a camera over the notebook. Children who lose focus easily do better at home.
Tell us the class, board and your area. We share two or three matched tutors, and the first class is a free demo.
