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.

Many Patna students think in Hindi, speak Bhojpuri, Magahi or Maithili at home and are examined in English. Some are strong readers who lose marks on letter formats; others understand every lesson but hesitate to write a full paragraph; a few need spoken English for interviews as much as for the board. Before we look for anyone, we ask which board your child sits (BSEB, CBSE, ICSE or ISC, or an international course), which skill is weakest, and where you live. Then we send two or three English tutors who fit, with their fees shown, and the first class with the one you choose is a free demo.
Patna students sit the Bihar board, CBSE, CISCE's ICSE and ISC, and a smaller number follow IB or Cambridge IGCSE. The same word, English, means a different paper on each.
| Board | Class 10 | Class 12 | The tutor should bring |
|---|---|---|---|
| BSEB | English in the matric examination | English in the intermediate examination | The board's prescribed books and its own model and past papers |
| CBSE | English Language and Literature: 80 in the paper, 20 in school | English Core: 80 in the paper, 20 for listening, speaking and a project | The NCERT readers and CBSE sample papers |
| CISCE | ICSE: separate language and literature papers, 80 each plus internal marks | ISC: two three-hour papers of 80, each with project work | Set texts and specimen papers from cisce.org |
| Cambridge; IB | IGCSE First Language (0500) or Second Language (0510/0511) | IB Language A: unseen analysis, a comparative essay and an oral | Past papers and the school's entry decision |
CBSE's 2026-27 curriculum splits the Class 10 board paper into three blocks. Knowing the split lets a tutor give each block the time it deserves instead of spending every lesson on the chapter the school happens to be teaching.
| Block | Marks | What it asks | Practice that pays |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reading | 20 | A discursive passage and a case-based factual passage with a chart or data | One unseen passage a week under time, answers checked against the text |
| Grammar | 10 | Items drawn from the syllabus grammar list | Errors from the student's own writing, fixed pattern by pattern |
| Writing | 10 | A formal letter (5) and an analytical paragraph on a chart, map or graph (5) | Format learned once, then content and linking words each week |
| Literature | 40 | First Flight and Footprints without Feet | Answers planned in points, kept to the word limit, with a reference to the text |
| Internal assessment | 20 | Set by the school, including 5 for listening and speaking | Short spoken summaries at the end of lessons |
Literature is half the paper, and it is where a Patna student who knows the story in Hindi but writes a thin English answer loses the most. Two planned literature answers a week, marked for length and relevance, are a better use of lesson time than extra grammar worksheets.
The Bihar School Examination Board conducts the matric examination at Class 10 and the intermediate examination at Class 12, and it sets its own English syllabus and paper. We keep our advice on those papers general. A tutor for a BSEB student should work from the board's prescribed books and its own model and past papers, teach in the language the student reads most easily until English takes over, and take formats and dates only from the board's official website, since they change.
A student moving from Hindi-medium study into English-medium books needs a tutor who explains in both languages at first and then lets the Hindi fall away. In practice that bridge has four parts:
Yes, and it fits naturally into board preparation, since CBSE, ISC and ICSE all give marks for listening and speaking. A tutor can end each lesson with a two-minute spoken summary of the day's passage, then build up to short talks and question-and-answer practice. Families who want spoken confidence for its own sake should say so in the request, because it shapes the choice of tutor. Our spoken English guide for students explains what works.
At this stage the job is reading, not exam technique. A child who guesses at words, skips lines or avoids books needs short, frequent practice: sounding out new words, reading a page aloud to an adult who corrects gently, and retelling the story in their own sentences. Twenty to thirty minutes of focused work does more than a full hour. For a child who hears little English at home, a tutor who talks through pictures and stories in simple English, with a Hindi word only when the child is stuck, builds listening as well as reading. Ask for a primary specialist rather than a senior-class tutor.
CBSE English Core in Class 11 gives 26 marks to reading, 23 to grammar and creative writing and 31 to literature from Hornbill and Snapshots; in Class 12 grammar drops out and literature rises. ISC English asks for a composition of 400 to 450 words from a choice of six, directed writing and a proposal, plus a separate literature paper. For IGCSE, confirm whether your child is entered for First Language or Second Language English, and for the IB, expect unseen-text analysis and a 15-minute individual oral. Specialists for these courses are fewer in Patna, so an online tutor is often the answer. The national English home tutor guide covers every course in more depth.
Only part of the Patna Metro Blue Line is open, so most tutors still travel by two-wheeler, auto or car, and the right match is often someone from your own stretch of the city. The Patna home tuition page covers every locality.
| Locality | Homes | Plan for |
|---|---|---|
| Sri Krishna Puri | Flats in the north, older houses in the inner lanes, beside Boring Road | Evening traffic where the colony meets Boring Road; a fixed weekday slot |
| Patliputra Colony | A cooperative colony of independent houses with newer apartment buildings | A tutor based in the colony or next door for weekday classes |
| Raja Bazar | Two- and three-bedroom flats in small complexes on Bailey Road | Metro works under Bailey Road; a slot outside the evening peak |
| Rajendra Nagar | A planned colony on numbered roads with parks between blocks | Share the road number and house name; avoid train rush near the terminal |
| Patna City | Older houses in close-built lanes | A lane landmark and phone number; a two-wheeler or e-rickshaw beats a car |
| Anisabad | Flats of one to four bedrooms, plotted homes and builder floors | A tutor from your side of the roundabout, which is slow at peak hours |
The zone guides for Boring Road and Patliputra, Gandhi Maidan, Ashok Rajpath and Old Patna and Anisabad, Gardanibagh and Phulwari add landmarks and quiet hours. Our north and west Patna and south and old Patna tuition guides compare the two halves of the city.
Online English works well from about Class 3 upwards if written work reaches the tutor before each session, through photos of the notebook or a shared document. It also opens up ISC, IGCSE and IB specialists who may live in another part of Patna or another city. Home lessons are better for young children learning to read, for a student in the first months of a Hindi-to-English switch, and for anyone whose speaking improves face to face. Where the most suitable tutor lives across the city, one home visit a week and one online session is a sensible split, and it avoids crossing the Anisabad roundabout or Bailey Road at the worst hour twice a week.
If the answer to these is no, tell us. We arrange a demo with the next shortlisted tutor, and a later change of tutor is free.
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 fees, which follow the class, the board, the tutor's experience with its paper, travel at your hour and how often you meet. You see each fee on the shortlist before the demo; the Patna home tuition fees article explains more.
Send the class and board, the skill that worries you (reading, writing, grammar, literature or speaking), the language your child is most comfortable in, your colony and a landmark, your days and times, and a budget. We reply with two or three matched tutors and their fees, and tutors who join go through an ID check before their profile is marked Verified. For other subjects, see our maths and science tutor pages for Patna. English teachers in the city can find open requests on Patna tuition jobs.

To get matched with an English home tutor in Patna, send the class and board, the weakest skill, your child's most comfortable language, colony and landmark, times and budget. You receive two or three matched tutors, each fee shown before the first class; the first class is a free demo, and switching later is free.
Yes, Patna families can request English tutors who prepare BSEB matric and intermediate students from the Bihar board's prescribed books and its own model and past papers. They explain in Hindi while confidence builds. Take formats and dates only from the board's official website, since they change.
For Patna students, CBSE Class 10 English Language and Literature in 2026-27 gives reading 20 of 80 marks, grammar 10, writing 10 and literature 40. Writing means a formal letter and an analytical paragraph. The school adds 20 internal marks, including 5 for listening and speaking, so literature answers deserve the most practice.
A Patna tutor helps a child switch from Hindi medium to English medium by explaining in both languages at first, then letting Hindi fall away. The bridge uses translation both ways, a daily reading diary, ready frames for answers, and an agreed cut-off date, often after the first term, for English-only lessons.
A Patna English tutor can build spoken confidence alongside board marks, since CBSE, ICSE and ISC all award marks for listening and speaking. Lessons can end with a two-minute spoken summary and build to short talks. If interview confidence matters, say so in the request, as it shapes the shortlist.
English tuition for a Class 1 to 5 child in Patna focuses on reading, not exam technique. That means sounding out words, reading a page aloud with gentle correction and retelling the story. Twenty to thirty minutes of focused work does more than an hour, so ask for a primary specialist rather than a senior-class tutor.
For a Patna student, CBSE English Core in Class 11 gives 26 marks to reading, 23 to grammar and creative writing and 31 to literature from Hornbill and Snapshots. ISC asks for a 400 to 450 word composition from six choices, directed writing and a proposal, plus a separate literature paper.
A Patna student from about Class 3 upwards can take English online if written work reaches the tutor before each session, which also opens up ISC, IGCSE and IB specialists. Young readers and students early in a Hindi-to-English switch do better at home; one home visit plus one online session suits distant tutors.
An English home tutor can reach Patna localities such as Sri Krishna Puri, Patliputra Colony, Raja Bazar, Rajendra Nagar, Patna City and Anisabad. Most tutors travel by two-wheeler, auto or car, since only part of the Metro Blue Line is open. The right match is often a tutor from your own stretch of the city.
Patna parents should check that the tutor in an English demo class looks at a marked school answer first and that the lesson leans to English. Your child should write or speak at length. The tutor should explain the paper's set-up and leave marked homework with a monthly plan.
Tell us the class, board and your area. We share two or three matched tutors, and the first class is a free demo.
