Hindi Tutors for Classes 1–10 (CBSE Hindi A & B)

What is the difference between CBSE Hindi Course A and Course B?

CBSE offers Hindi in Class 10 as Course A (subject code 002) and Course B (code 085); its 2026-27 curriculum describes Course B as Hindi as a second language. Both are 80-mark, 3-hour board papers with 20 marks of internal assessment, but they use different books, test different grammar and weight writing differently. The school decides which course a student follows, so check before choosing a tutor.

In both grammar sections, 20 questions are asked and 16 must be answered, so a student can leave out the four they are least sure of, but only if they have practised all the types.

Which grammar topics does each course test?

• Course A (002): sentence types by structure (rachna ke aadhar par vakya bhed), voice (vachya), pad parichay, and alankar, where the curriculum names upma, roopak, utpreksha, atishyokti and manvikaran.
• Course B (085): padbandh, sentence transformation by structure, samas and muhavare.

Each topic carries 4 marks, with five questions set and four to be answered. Because the questions use new sentences, the tutor's job is to make the student recognise the pattern in unfamiliar examples, not to recite definitions. Short daily practice of five sentences on one topic works better than a long weekly session.

What writing tasks are on the Course A paper?

Writing is where a tutor's feedback matters most, because the tasks have word limits and set formats. In Course A for 2026-27 the writing section has four tasks:

• a paragraph of about 120 words on one of three topics, built from given cue points (6 marks);
• a formal or informal letter of about 100 words (5 marks);
• a CV for a job vacancy, or an email, of about 80 words (5 marks);
• an advertisement or a message of about 40 words (4 marks).

Course B students also write a paragraph of about 120 words and an email of about 80 words, among other tasks. Each format has conventions that examiners look for, and a tutor should mark practice pieces against them until the format is automatic.

Where do Class 10 students usually lose Hindi marks?

• Grammar learned as lists, not used. Knowing the names of the samas types is not the same as identifying them in a new sentence. Practice should use fresh sentences every time.
• Unseen passages read too fast. Answers that paraphrase the passage carelessly lose marks; the tutor trains students to find the exact line first.
• Set texts known only from summaries. Questions often ask about a specific line or the poet's intent. Reading the actual text with a tutor fixes this.
• Writing over or under the word limit, or in the wrong format for a letter or email.
• Spelling and matras under time pressure, which a weekly dictation of ten words catches early.

What does a week of Class 10 Hindi tuition look like?

Two classes a week is a common start for a Class 10 student whose Hindi is pulling the total down. A sample plan for Course A in the middle of the year, which a tutor adjusts after the demo:

From December the balance shifts to timed sections and full papers marked against the CBSE marking scheme. For Course B, the grammar topics change (padbandh, sentence transformation, samas and muhavare) but the pattern of the week stays the same.

What should ICSE, IGCSE or state-board families tell a Hindi tutor?

Hindi is taught differently across boards, and the tutor needs to know which version your child sits. Tell us:

• The board and the exact subject name on the school timetable or report, and whether Hindi is the first or second language.
• The textbooks the school uses this year, since set texts differ from school to school and board to board.
• The last school test paper, which shows the question styles and how the school marks writing.
• How much Hindi the child hears at home, so the tutor pitches vocabulary and pace correctly.

With that, a tutor can plan around the real paper instead of a generic course. If your child also needs help with the other language subject, ask for a tutor who teaches both.

What does a Hindi tutor do for younger children?

Children from families who speak little Hindi at home, or who have moved from another state or abroad, often need the most help with reading fluency and vocabulary. Say so when you ask, so we look for a tutor who is patient with beginners.

Home or online for Hindi?

For young children learning to read and write, a home tutor beside the child usually works better: the tutor watches letter formation and finger-pointing while reading. From about Class 6, Hindi works well online. Reading aloud, grammar drills and comprehension are easy over video, and written answers can be shown to the camera or shared as photos. See online tuition on NXTutors for how online classes and the free demo work, and online tuition for Class 10 for the board year as a whole.

How do I find a Hindi tutor?

Tell us the class, the board and, for CBSE Class 9 or 10, whether the school follows Course A or Course B, plus home or online and your free slots. We shortlist two or three tutors, you see each fee before the demo, the first class is free, and switching tutor later 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. Many families take Hindi alongside English or social science; book a free demo class to start.
