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.

In Cuttack, English-medium schools mostly follow either CBSE or the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations, which sets the ICSE examination in Class 10 and the ISC in Class 12. CISCE families tend to look for a particular kind of tutor: someone who will mark a long answer line by line, keep physics, chemistry and biology moving at the same pace, and help a Class 10 student think clearly about which ISC subjects to take before the choice is fixed. This page sets out what the council's regulations ask for, how a tutor plans the CISCE years, what changes if a student moves to the state's +2 course, and how tutors reach homes from Link Road to Chauliaganj.
The city's Odia-medium schools come under BSE Odisha, whose main office is in Cuttack, and most students then move to the Council of Higher Secondary Education for the +2 years. English-medium schools mostly follow CBSE or CISCE. For a tutor, the CISCE course stands apart in three ways: it is broad, with many subjects examined in Class 10; it rewards long, well-organised written answers; and a fair share of marks comes from work done in school through the year. If a tutor's experience is mostly with state or CBSE papers, ask how their teaching would change for CISCE.
| Group | What it holds | Exam : school marks |
|---|---|---|
| Group I (compulsory) | English, a second language, and History, Civics and Geography | 80 : 20 |
| Group II (choose two or three) | Choices include Mathematics and Science, Economics or Commercial Studies, Environmental Science, and modern foreign or classical languages | 80 : 20 |
| Group III, one subject | An applied subject, for example Computer Applications, Art or Physical Education | 50 : 50 |
The Group III subject earns half its marks inside school, so it pays to keep its projects moving month by month. Leaving that work to the last term of Class 10 throws away marks that are among the easiest on the certificate.
In ICSE Mathematics the written paper is worth 80. The other 20 marks come from two or more assignments, and both the class teacher and an outside examiner mark each one. The course mixes commercial arithmetic, including banking and shares, with algebra, trigonometry, geometry and statistics. Examiners look for working at every step, so a tidy final line with steps missing still loses marks. Our maths home tutors in Cuttack page covers the subject across boards.
Biology, Chemistry and Physics are examined separately, each through its own paper of 80 plus 20 practical marks assessed in school. Strength in one does not carry the others, which is why parents should ask early whether one tutor can teach all three well or whether the weakest needs its own specialist. Each year the council publishes an Analysis of Pupil Performance by subject, which records the errors examiners met; read with the specimen papers, it is the soundest guide a tutor has. See also science home tutors in Cuttack.
Group I is where many CISCE students in Cuttack gain or lose ground without noticing. English is compulsory and examined in depth, with composition and literature both demanding organised writing. The second language is chosen from those the school offers, so check the list with the school rather than assuming. History, Civics and Geography rewards students who write precise, well-ordered answers with dates, terms and map work in place. A weekly piece of timed writing in each Group I subject, marked against the specimen paper, builds the habit. For the English side, see English home tutors in Cuttack.
Chapters taught in Class 9 come back in the Class 10 papers, so a CISCE tutor plans revision from the first term, not the last. Three habits make the difference:
Inside a single session, that usually means marking the student's own attempts line by line, teaching one new topic, and closing with one full answer written to time.
In ISC Mathematics, both years combine a theory paper worth 80 with a project worth 20. For the detail, read our ISC maths tutor page or the guide to ICSE and ISC maths.
An ISC science student who also prepares for engineering or medical entrance is following two chapter orders. Entrance papers assume NCERT, whereas ISC uses different books and a different order, so a topic may turn up in school and in coaching months apart. In the first weeks of Class 11, ask the tutor for a one-page chart that pairs every ISC chapter with its NCERT twin and shows both due dates. Gaps then get filled in each direction: NCERT phrasing and short objective drills where ISC is thin, and protecting long answers and practicals where the coaching class does not look. See JEE home tutors in Cuttack and NEET home tutors in Cuttack.
Some Cuttack students stay with CISCE for ISC; others move to a CHSE +2 course or to CBSE. Each path has a different adjustment. A student going to CHSE science will find that the council's maths and physics files prescribe NCERT books, so the content is familiar, but the papers and internal assessment follow the council's own scheme. A student going to CBSE meets NCERT directly and the CBSE sample-paper style. In both cases, a tutor's first month should be spent on the subjects where the new course starts at a different point. The council lists the boards it treats as equivalent on chseodisha.nic.in. Our guide to choosing a board and stream, the Odisha Board home tutor in Cuttack page and the CBSE home tutor in Cuttack page cover the alternatives.
| Class | What matters | Tuition that helps |
|---|---|---|
| 6 to 8 | School tests only | Complete written sentences; maths working shown; precise science vocabulary |
| 9 | The two-year ICSE course begins | A revision rotation from the first term; weekly diagrams and working |
| 10 | The council's papers and the school-marked share | Specimen papers under time, marked with the examiners' analysis beside them |
| 11 | Electives fixed; promotion conditions | Careful subject choice; an early start on the harder ISC topics |
| 12 | ISC papers, projects and practicals | Projects finished on time; full papers written to time |
| Locality | Tutors usually come | Worth sending first |
|---|---|---|
| Link Road | Along the road between the Link Road crossing and Badambadi | Building, floor and flat number |
| Khannagar | From the colonies off Link Road towards the Kathajodi | The colony, such as Arunodaya Nagar or Judicial Colony, and gate details |
| Ranihat | Within the central wards between Bajrakabati Road and the canal | Which side of the ward you are on |
| Mangalabag | From the central wards, towards the river | The colony and the lane off Mangalabag Main Road |
| Madhupatna | From the eastern end of Link Road | The colony, such as Shankarpur, and a lane landmark |
| Chauliaganj | Along the road towards Paradeep | The vihar name and a side lane to stop in |
More on timing and addresses is on the zone pages for Badambadi and Link Road, Mangalabag, Ranihat and College Square and Madhupatna, Naya Bazar and Mahanadi Vihar. Every locality is on the Cuttack home tutors page.
Long-answer marking and diagram work suit a tutor at the table, especially in Classes 9 and 10. Online works well for checking a finished essay or a timed paper, and for ISC electives that nobody nearby teaches, where a specialist from another city may be the right choice. Many families mix the two: one home session for the hardest subject and one online session for review. See online tuition in Cuttack.
If the match is not right, we arrange another demo; switching tutor later is free. The demo class checklist lists 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. Tutors set their own rates, and each one is on the profile before you book. Our pricing guide and the Cuttack tuition fees post explain the range.
Share the class, subjects, school hours and a locality landmark. We then suggest two or three matched tutors, and your first lesson with any of them is a free demo. Tutors who join go through an ID check; the Verified badge appears only after the ID check is complete (how the ID check works).

The Group III subject gives half its marks to work assessed in school, with a 50 : 50 split. Groups I and II are 80 : 20. Because Group III marks build up through the year, keep its projects moving monthly instead of leaving them to the last term of Class 10.
One tutor can sometimes cover all three ICSE sciences, but ask early whether they teach each one equally well. Each science has its own 80-mark paper plus 20 practical marks, so strength in one does not lift the others. A weak subject may need its own specialist.
ISC subject choices freeze after a cut-off set by the regulations during the Class 11 registration year. After that the list cannot change, and nothing can be taken in Class 12 that was not studied in Class 11. Think through electives with the tutor while your child is still in Class 10.
Promotion from ISC Class 11 to Class 12 needs 35% in four subjects, one of them English, and at least 75% attendance. Practicals are compulsory in every subject that has them, so a tutor should keep practical work and records on schedule through Class 11 as well.
Either move can work, and the right choice depends on your child's subjects and plans. CHSE science prescribes NCERT books for maths and physics but uses its own papers and internal assessment, while CBSE follows NCERT and its sample-paper style. Check the equivalent boards list on chseodisha.nic.in before admission.
ICSE tutors usually reach Link Road along the stretch towards Badambadi, Khannagar from the colonies towards the Kathajodi, and Chauliaganj along the road towards Paradeep. Send the building and flat number for Link Road, the colony name in Khannagar, and a side lane to stop in at Chauliaganj.
Online ICSE classes work well for reviewing finished essays and timed papers, and for ISC electives nobody nearby teaches. Detailed long-answer marking and diagram work usually go better at the table, especially in Classes 9 and 10, so many families mix one home session with one online review.
