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.

Walk up the stairs of one apartment block in Mira Road and Bhayandar and you might hear Hindi on one landing, Gujarati on the next and Marathi or Urdu above. Plenty of the children behind those doors are taught in English all day and then hardly use it after school. The exam pays no attention to that. It marks grammar, the layout of each writing task and the clarity of a literature answer. A tutor who treats the home language as a ladder towards English, rather than something to forbid, tends to get furthest. Tell NXTutors the board, the class and what is going wrong in English; we send a shortlist of two or three English tutors, every fee visible, and the opening lesson with your pick is a free demo.
"Weak in English" can mean several different things, and each needs a different tutor. Match what you see at home to a row:
| What you notice | Likely cause | Tutor to ask for |
|---|---|---|
| Understands lessons but school marks are low | Answers too long, wrong format, grammar slips | Someone who knows that board's paper closely |
| Reads slowly, avoids books, guesses words | Reading skills not yet secure | A patient teacher of young readers, using phonics |
| Writes fairly well but goes silent when asked to speak | Little English spoken outside class | A tutor who spends most of the hour in conversation |
| Struggles after moving school, city or board | New reading level and new writing formats at once | A tutor who tests first and fills gaps before moving on |
The board accepts both Marathi-medium and English-medium schools, so English can mean very different things to two State Board children of the same age. For a pupil in an English-medium class it is the language of science, maths and history too; for a Marathi-medium pupil it is one period among many. The tutor has to know which, because the same chapter will need a different pace. Marks for the English paper are not copied here; read the evaluation scheme in force on mahahsscboard.in and practise from it and the prescribed book, not from a guide meant for another board.
Three routines help in either medium. Comprehension answers are justified by pointing to the sentence in the passage that proves them. Formats such as the formal letter, the report and the speech are learned once and then reused with fresh topics. Literature answers start as a short list of points and only then become sentences. The board's other subjects are on our Maharashtra Board home tutor in Mira-Bhayandar page.
English Language and Literature (184) for 2026-27 uses two NCERT books, First Flight and Footprints Without Feet. Of the 80 marks on the board paper:
Internal assessment by the school adds 20 more, and listening and speaking account for 5 of those. Literature is half the board paper, so steady, corrected literature writing usually moves marks more than another pile of grammar exercises.
Sometimes, and on purpose. A child who thinks in another language already understands how a story is told or a request is made; the tutor's job is to move that knowledge into English. A sensible progression looks like this:
If your family has moved from another state, or your child has just changed board, mention it. The reading level and the expected formats may both have shifted.
It can, but only if the child does the talking. A lesson for spoken confidence might open with describing a photograph, move to retelling a chapter in the child's own words, and end with a one-minute talk on something familiar, followed by a quick look at two or three errors worth fixing. For CBSE pupils, the internal marks for listening and speaking make this practice count directly. Ask any tutor roughly how much of the hour your child will be speaking.
Three goals are enough at this age: reading without fear, letters formed neatly on the line, and enjoying a story. Watch for a child who guesses a whole word from its first letter, loses their place on the page or always finds a reason not to read. Little and often works better than long and rare, so three brief lessons a week usually beat one long one. Phonics for sounds and blends, a page read aloud and the story told back make a reliable pattern. Ask for one page of written work to be sent to you every fortnight so you can see progress for yourself.
CBSE English Core in Class 11 sets 26 marks for reading, 23 for grammar and creative writing and 31 for literature, taught through Hornbill and Snapshots; in Class 12 the readers become Flamingo and Vistas. ISC English includes a composition of 400–450 words picked from six choices, a directed-writing task and a proposal, and examines literature separately. For IGCSE, check with the school whether your child is entered for first-language or second-language English. IB Language A is built around unseen textual analysis, a comparative essay and an individual oral. HSC English follows the State Board's current scheme. Few teachers in any one locality specialise in ISC, IGCSE or IB English, so online lessons, or a tutor from across the Mumbai boundary, are common; the national English home tutor page goes deeper into each course.
Every locality's tutors are listed on our Mira-Bhayandar page. These six show the kind of detail that leads to a better match:
In Naya Nagar, younger children often need reading, spelling and written homework help more than anything advanced; if Hindi or Urdu is spoken at home, say so. Hatkesh has many recently arrived families, so tell the tutor about any change of school or board and ask for a short check of gaps first.
Some Mira Gaon families speak Marathi at home and want steady help with English writing and spoken confidence; one conversation lesson and one writing lesson a week suits that well. In Kashigaon's newer buildings many children are early readers, and short sessions that end with a page read to a parent keep them keen.
Penkarpada sits at the Mumbai edge, so welcome a tutor from either side in your request. In Bhayandar East, where many households run a business, Commerce students often want clear formal writing alongside board English; a slot after shop hours or on Sunday morning tends to work.
The Mira Road East and Naya Nagar and Kashimira and Mira Gaon zone pages and our Mira-Bhayandar home tuition guide have more local tips.
From about Class 3, English adapts well to online lessons, as long as written work reaches the tutor beforehand as a photo or shared file; online also opens the door to ISC, IGCSE and IB specialists. In person is still the stronger choice for early readers, for a child in the first months after changing medium or board, and for spoken work. See online tutors for Mira-Bhayandar for how screen classes run. During the demo, check that:
If you are unsure, tell us and a different shortlisted tutor gives a demo; a later switch is free too.
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. Each tutor names their own fee. Good questions while comparing: which board's English have you taught this year, will you look at writing my child sends between lessons, and how many sessions a week would you advise? Fees appear before the demo; the Mira-Bhayandar home tuition fees guide suggests more.
Your child's class and board, the single thing in English you most want improved, the languages used at home and in school, your building and locality with a landmark, and the times you can offer. A shortlist of two or three English tutors comes back with their fees, and you book a free demo with one. Tutors who join go through an ID check; the Verified badge appears only after the ID check is complete (how the ID check works). This city's maths and science pages work the same way; over the boundary, see English tutors in Mumbai and the Mumbai hub. English teachers who live in Mira Road or Bhayandar will find current requests on Mira-Bhayandar tuition jobs.

CBSE Class 10 English Language and Literature gives literature 40, reading 20, grammar 10 and writing 10 of the 80 board marks. Writing is a formal letter and an analytical paragraph, five marks each. The school adds 20 internal marks, including 5 for listening and speaking.
An English tutor can use Hindi or Gujarati briefly to clear up a confusing rule, then keep the practice in English. Over the months, translation should shrink, with one English-only lesson a week, then two. A personal glossary and a page read aloud each session help the move along.
State Board English should be practised from the prescribed textbook and the sample papers on mahahsscboard.in. Comprehension answers should point to a line in the passage, writing formats should be learned once and reused, and literature answers planned as points first. The board recognises Marathi-medium and English-medium schools.
Yes, a home tutor can build spoken English if the child does most of the talking. Lessons might use picture description, chapter retelling and one-minute talks, followed by a short review of errors. One conversation lesson and one writing lesson a week suits many Marathi-speaking families in Mira Gaon.
English tuition for a Class 1 to 4 child in Kashigaon should be short and frequent, using phonics, a page read aloud and the story retold. Three brief lessons a week usually beat one long one. Ask the tutor to share a page of written work every fortnight so you can see progress.
CBSE English Core Class 11 gives reading 26, grammar and creative writing 23 and literature 31, using Hornbill and Snapshots; Class 12 uses Flamingo and Vistas. ISC English asks for a 400 to 450 word composition chosen from six topics, directed writing and a proposal.
Online English tuition suits children from about Class 3, if the tutor receives written work in advance as a photo or shared file. It also brings ISC, IGCSE and IB specialists within reach. In-person lessons still suit early readers, children who recently changed medium or board, and spoken practice.
Penkarpada families should say in their request that a tutor from the nearby Mumbai suburbs is welcome. That widens the pool, since Penkarpada sits at the city's edge. An online lesson can cover some weeks, and the address should name the pada, the lane and a nearby shop.
