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.

CISCE is the second of the two national boards that, according to the Kochi city hub, share the city's students with the Kerala State Board. Its ICSE examination comes at the end of Class 10 and its ISC at the end of Class 12, and the hub's summary of both is accurate: long written answers over a wide syllabus, set literature in English, project work in each subject, and the risk of simply running out of time to cover everything. This guide sets out the structure of both examinations, how they compare in general with the state syllabus, where tutoring helps at each stage, how tutors travel between Kochi's mainland, islands and eastern suburbs, and what to test in the free demo. The ICSE material reflects Abhinandan Tiwary's Class 10 maths and Aaditya Kashyap's science teaching; Ajay Vatsyayan, who teaches ISC maths, wrote the ISC material.
The hub says no more than that CISCE is one of Kochi's two national boards, and we add nothing invented: we have no count of ICSE or ISC students in the city. Its advice for tutors is worth repeating, though: a good ICSE or ISC tutor plans a revision loop that keeps coming back to each chapter, sets timed answers every week and keeps an eye on the project work each subject requires. In Kochi, tell us also whether your child has moved across from the state syllabus, since the volume of English writing is the biggest adjustment.
The state syllabus leads to the SSLC at the end of Class 10 and then the Higher Secondary course, where students choose a group of subjects. Schools teach from the state textbooks and in the medium of instruction the child writes in, and the scheme and dates come from official state notices. ICSE is built differently. Science is split into three separately examined papers. Long answers are expected across history, geography and English, and, in their own way, maths and science. After Class 10, ISC continues under the same council, with electives the student must fix early in Class 11 rather than a set group.
A tutor who corrects these three every session will move marks across nearly every paper, which is exactly what a wide syllabus needs.
| Group | How many | Subjects include | Paper : internal |
|---|---|---|---|
| I | All | English; a second language; History, Civics and Geography | 80 : 20 |
| II | Two or three | Mathematics; Science; Economics; Commercial Studies; Environmental Science; a classical or modern foreign language | 80 : 20 |
| III | One | Applied subjects such as Computer Applications, Art, Physical Education or Robotics and AI | 50 : 50 |
ICSE Mathematics is one three-hour paper of 80 marks, plus 20 internal marks from at least two assignments, each assessed separately by the subject teacher and an external examiner. Banking and shares belong to the syllabus, as do algebra, geometry, trigonometry and statistics.
Physics, Chemistry and Biology are each a two-hour paper of 80 marks, and each adds 20 internal marks for practical work. A tutor covering ICSE science should be confident in all three, or you should tell us which paper is weakest. CISCE's Analysis of Pupil Performance, issued for each subject after the examinations, describes the errors examiners met most often; together with specimen papers it is the best guide to how answers are marked.
| Rule | What it means for your child |
|---|---|
| English plus three to five electives; six subjects at most | Choose electives with Class 12 and beyond in mind |
| No subject change after 15 September of the Class 11 registration year | Settle choices in the first weeks of term |
| No Class 12 subject unless studied in Class 11 | Class 11 decisions are final for Class 12 |
| Promotion needs 35% in four subjects including English, and 75% attendance | Class 11 exams matter; there is no promotion on trial |
| Practical exams compulsory where a subject has one; Physics and Engineering Science cannot be combined | Plan practical files from the start |
| Grades 1 to 9; pass certificate needs four subjects including English, plus SUPW and Community Service | Keep the non-exam requirements on track |
ISC Mathematics has a three-hour, 80-mark theory paper and 20 marks of project work in each of Class 11 and Class 12. See our ISC maths tutor page and ICSE and ISC maths guide.
Writing should take up a real share of every lesson. Begin with the student answering two or three questions from the previous topic on paper; the tutor then marks each line, looking for skipped steps, missing units or labels, and sentences that do not say what the student meant. Move to the new topic from the textbook, extend it with specimen-paper questions, and close with one complete answer under time. For ISC science, set aside part of the hour for the practical: recording readings, drawing the right graph and writing a conclusion.
ICSE students may stay with CISCE for ISC, move to CBSE, or join the state's Higher Secondary course. ISC keeps the familiar answer style with much deeper electives. CBSE brings NCERT books and sample papers, while the maths and science carry over well. The Higher Secondary route means state textbooks, a subject group and the scheme in the state's notices. Whichever you choose, fix the subjects early; ISC allows no change after mid-September.
| Stage | What counts | Tutor focus |
|---|---|---|
| Classes 6 to 8 | School assessment | English writing at length, clear maths working |
| Class 9 | School exams; ICSE syllabus spans Classes 9 and 10 | Weekly coverage of every paper |
| Class 10 | ICSE papers and internal marks | Specimen papers and timed answers |
| Class 11 | School exams and the promotion rule | Elective choice and early depth |
| Class 12 | ISC theory, practicals and projects | Depth, records and deadlines |
Maths and the three sciences lead ICSE requests, with English and History, Civics and Geography close behind for students who need their long answers marked. ISC requests follow the electives.
The board's structure is explained further in our reference page, how ICSE and ISC work.
| Zone | What to arrange |
|---|---|
| Central Ernakulam, e.g. Panampilly Nagar | Reception or security registration in the towers, and where a visitor may park |
| Edappally and North Kochi, e.g. Palarivattom or Aluva | A tutor near a Blue Line station; in Aluva, earlier or online lessons during the Sivarathri crowds |
| Kakkanad and East Kochi, e.g. Thrikkakara | Visitor list in gated communities; plan around temple festival days in Thrikkakara |
| Vyttila and Tripunithura, e.g. Tripunithura | Metro plus a short auto beats driving through the junctions; festival-week lessons earlier or online |
| West Kochi and the islands, e.g. Mattancherry | Earlier slots before tourist streets fill; a tutor on foot or two-wheeler, or by Water Metro |
Tutors who specialise in ICSE and especially ISC can be fewer than general tutors in any one zone, so for an ISC elective an online specialist, or a home-and-online mix, is often sensible. Up to Class 10, a home tutor who marks writing at the table is worth looking for first. Online maths and science need live sight of the working. See every area on the Kochi home tuition page and the Kochi tuition guide.
Two or three tutors are matched, fees are shown before the demo, and a later switch costs nothing. Tutors who register go through an ID check before they appear.
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 ICSE and ISC in Kochi, the class, number of papers, nearness of the exams and the tutor's travel shape the fee. See the Kochi fees guide and the pricing guide.

Tell us ICSE or ISC, the class, subjects, your area and your hours, and whether your child moved from the state syllabus. We shortlist two or three tutors who know the CISCE papers and can reach you, show each fee first, and the first class is a free demo with no obligation.
In broad terms, ICSE examines physics, chemistry and biology as three separate papers and expects long, organised answers across subjects, then continues into ISC with electives fixed early in Class 11. The state syllabus leads to the SSLC and the Higher Secondary course; take its scheme only from official state notices.
Three things: method shown step by step in maths, precision in science, meaning units, balanced equations and labelled diagrams, and clearly organised writing in English and History, Civics and Geography. A tutor who corrects these every session improves marks across nearly every paper, which suits the board's wide syllabus.
By one three-hour paper of 80 marks and 20 internal marks from at least two assignments, each assessed separately by the subject teacher and an external examiner. The syllabus includes banking and shares alongside algebra, geometry, trigonometry and statistics, and method carries marks throughout, so full working matters.
Subjects are fixed after 15 September of the Class 11 registration year, and no Class 12 subject can be taken unless studied in Class 11. Promotion needs 35% in four subjects including English and 75% attendance. Practical exams are compulsory where a subject has one, so plan the file from day one.
Yes. There is no metro across the harbour, so we look first for tutors on your side, or those who use the Water Metro from High Court and walk from the jetty. Earlier slots work best before tourist streets fill, and parking is scarce, so tutors on foot or two-wheelers suit.
Across NXTutors most home-tuition sessions fall between ₹800 and ₹2,500 an hour, with Classes 11–12, IB/IGCSE and JEE/NEET toward the upper end. For ICSE and ISC, the class, number of papers, nearness of the exams and the tutor's travel set the fee. You see each fee before the free demo.
