Tutors who join go through an ID check. Tell us the class, board and your sector: 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.

ICSE Physics is Science Paper 1 of the CISCE science course: a two-hour, 80-mark written paper in Class 9 and again in Class 10, plus 20 marks for practical work done in school. Marks in this paper come from three habits more than from raw cleverness: numericals worked in full with SI units, ray and circuit diagrams drawn cleanly, and definitions written in the exact words of the syllabus. A home tutor in Gurugram who knows the ICSE physics syllabus line by line can build those habits from the first term of Class 9. This guide sets out the 2027 and 2028 syllabuses (which cohort sits which), the usual weak spots, three solved problems, a plan for each term, the practical, and what to check when a tutor gives the free demo. The ICSE sections are written by Aaditya Kashyap (CBSE and ICSE science); the ISC note at the end is by the NXTutors Academic Team.
CISCE examines ICSE Science (52) as three separate papers. Physics is Paper 1, ICSE chemistry is Paper 2 and ICSE biology is Paper 3. Grades can differ a lot between the three, so many families look for help paper by paper rather than for "science" as a whole. For the full ICSE subject picture, see our ICSE home tutors in Gurgaon page.
| Component | Class 9 | Class 10 |
|---|---|---|
| Written paper | One paper, 2 hours, 80 marks | One paper, 2 hours, 80 marks |
| Internal assessment | Practical work, 20 marks | Practical work, 20 marks |
| Who marks the practical | The subject teacher (10 marks) and an external examiner (10 marks), independently | |
| Units | SI units only, unless the syllabus names another system (fps and cgs appear in Class 9 measurement) | |
CISCE publishes a syllabus for each examination year. Students in Class 10 in 2026-27 sit the 2027 examination, under the syllabus dated February 2025. Students in Class 9 in 2026-27 will sit the 2028 examination, under the syllabus CISCE published in January 2026. The paper shape and the chapter headings are the same in both, but some content has moved, as noted below. Check the syllabus for your exam year on cisce.org.
Today's Class 9 students follow CISCE's syllabus for the 2028 examination. It has the same eight headings as the 2027 syllabus. The third column shows what the 2028 syllabus says about numericals and derivations, which tells a tutor how deep to go, and where it differs from 2027.
| Heading | Main ideas | Depth set by the syllabus |
|---|---|---|
| Measurements and Experimentation | SI, cgs and fps units; Vernier callipers, screw gauge, simple pendulum | Least count and zero error; pictorial numericals on the callipers and screw gauge (the 2027 syllabus had none); T = 2π√(l/g) without derivation |
| Motion in One Dimension | Distance, displacement, speed, velocity, acceleration; distance-time and velocity-time graphs | The three equations of uniformly accelerated motion, derived graphically; motion under gravity included; non-uniform acceleration excluded |
| Laws of Motion | Contact and non-contact forces; Newton's three laws; momentum; gravitation | Simple numericals combining F = ma with the equations of motion |
| Fluids | Pressure with depth, Pascal's law, atmospheric pressure; buoyancy, Archimedes' principle, floatation, relative density | Simple numericals on pressure, Pascal's law, buoyancy and floatation; working of hydraulic machines not included |
| Heat and Energy | Heat and temperature; anomalous expansion of water; global warming; energy degradation | Largely descriptive, with 1 cal = 4.186 J; energy sources, listed in 2027, are not in the 2028 syllabus |
| Light | Reflection; plane mirrors; concave and convex mirrors | Sign convention and direct mirror-formula numericals; no derivation; no scale drawing |
| Sound | Wave motion, transverse and longitudinal waves; nature of sound; v = fλ; infrasonic, audible and ultrasonic ranges | Simple numericals on v = fλ |
| Electricity and Magnetism | Current, charge, potential difference, resistance and Ohm's law; induced magnetism; field lines | Simple numericals on V = W/q and Ohm's law (Ohm's law is new to Class 9 in 2028) |
CISCE lists six headings for Class 10 in the 2027 syllabus, which today's Class 10 students sit; the 2028 syllabus keeps the same six. Several reuse Class 9 ideas at a higher level, and one, Modern Physics, is entirely new.
| Heading | Main ideas | Typical question types |
|---|---|---|
| Force, Work, Power and Energy | Moments and equilibrium; uniform circular motion; work, energy and power; machines (levers, pulleys); conservation of energy | Moment and lever numericals; MA, VR and efficiency of pulley systems; kinetic and potential energy |
| Light | Refraction through a glass block and prism; total internal reflection and critical angle; lenses; dispersion, the electromagnetic spectrum and scattering | Refractive index; lens-formula numericals with sign convention; power of a lens; approximate ray diagrams |
| Sound | Echoes; natural, damped and forced vibrations; resonance; loudness, pitch and quality | Echo numericals; reasons and applications |
| Electricity and Magnetism | Ohm's law, emf, internal resistance, series and parallel; electrical power and energy; household circuits; magnetic effect of current, motor, generator, transformer | Resistor networks; kW h and power numericals; wiring and safety reasons; labelled sketches |
| Heat | Specific heat capacity and the method of mixtures; latent heat (fusion only) | Heat lost equals heat gained numericals |
| Modern Physics | Nucleus, radioactivity, alpha, beta and gamma; background radiation and safety; nuclear fission and fusion | Changes in Z and A in alpha and beta decay; properties and uses |
For today's Class 9 students, who will sit the 2028 Class 10 paper, the same headings carry some changes: uniform circular motion is no longer listed; the DC motor and AC generator give way to the working principle of the transformer; household circuits start from the stages of power distribution; latent heat adds vaporisation, with no numericals on it; fission and fusion are limited to definitions and differences; and named uses of radioactive isotopes are listed.
For a cross-board view of each year, see the Class 9 science tutor and Class 10 science tutor pages for Gurugram.
| Slip | Where it shows | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Formula skipped, only numbers written | Every numerical | Formula, substitution with units, answer with unit: three lines, always |
| Sign of u, v or f lost | Mirror and lens numericals | Mark the incident-light direction on a sketch before substituting |
| MA and VR confused | Pulley systems, levers | VR from geometry of the machine, MA from forces, efficiency = MA ÷ VR |
| Series and parallel mixed up | Resistor networks | Redraw the circuit, reduce the parallel part first, label each current |
| Heat lost and gained set up the wrong way | Method of mixtures | Write "heat lost by hot body = heat gained by cold body" as a sentence first |
| Definitions paraphrased loosely | Moment, critical angle, specific heat, resonance | Learn the syllabus wording, then test it in writing, not orally |
| Arrows missing on rays | Ray diagrams | No ray is finished until it carries an arrow; virtual rays dashed |
These are original practice problems set out the way an ICSE examiner expects to see them. Each has been checked line by line.
A 6 Ω and a 3 Ω resistor are joined in parallel, and the pair is joined in series with a 4 Ω resistor across a cell of emf 12 V with negligible internal resistance. Find the current from the cell and the current in the 6 Ω resistor.
Parallel part: 1/Rp = 1/6 + 1/3 = 3/6, so Rp = 2 Ω.
Total resistance: R = 2 + 4 = 6 Ω.
Current from the cell: I = V/R = 12/6 = 2 A.
Potential difference across the parallel pair: V = IRp = 2 × 2 = 4 V.
Current in the 6 Ω resistor: 4/6 ≈ 0.67 A (and 4/3 ≈ 1.33 A in the 3 Ω; the two add to 2 A, as they must).
200 g of water at 80 °C is mixed with 300 g of water at 20 °C. Taking the specific heat capacity of water as 4200 J kg−1 K−1 and ignoring heat losses, find the final temperature T.
Heat lost by hot water = heat gained by cold water.
0.2 × 4200 × (80 − T) = 0.3 × 4200 × (T − 20)
0.2(80 − T) = 0.3(T − 20), so 16 − 0.2T = 0.3T − 6, giving 0.5T = 22 and T = 44 °C.
Check: heat lost = 0.2 × 4200 × 36 = 30 240 J; heat gained = 0.3 × 4200 × 24 = 30 240 J.
A pin stands 36 cm in front of a convex lens of focal length 12 cm. With the Cartesian sign convention, put
u = −36 cm and f = +12 cm into 1/v − 1/u = 1/f.
1/v = 1/12 + 1/(−36) = 3/36 − 1/36 = 2/36 = 1/18, so v = +18 cm.
Magnification m = v/u = 18/(−36) = −0.5: a real, inverted image half the size, 18 cm behind the lens.
The ray diagram should agree. The object (36 cm) is beyond 2F (24 cm). Draw one ray from the tip of the object parallel to the principal axis; after the lens it passes through the far focus. Draw a second ray through the optical centre; it goes on undeviated. Where they meet, between F and 2F on the far side, is the tip of a real, inverted, diminished image. Arrows on both rays, the image drawn as a solid arrow because it is real.
A quick Class 9 check in the same spirit: a car moving at 20 m/s brakes uniformly to rest in 4 s. Its acceleration is (0 − 20)/4 = −5 m/s2, and the distance is ½(u + v)t = ½ × 20 × 4 = 40 m. Using v2 = u2 + 2aS instead gives 0 = 400 − 10S, so S = 40 m again. Getting the same answer two ways is a habit worth building.
The ICSE syllabus says scale drawing of ray diagrams is not required, and in Class 10 asks for "approximate" ray diagrams for refraction. That does not mean careless ones. Examiners look for the right rays, arrows on every ray, dashed lines for virtual rays and images, the normal drawn at the point of incidence, and the image labelled with its nature. In circuits, the standard symbols for a cell, key, ammeter, voltmeter and rheostat must be correct, with ammeters joined in series and voltmeters connected across the component. The 2027 Class 10 syllabus also asks for simple labelled sketches of the DC motor, AC generator and transformer; the 2028 syllabus keeps the transformer's working principle and drops the motor and generator.
Physics internal assessment is practical work, split evenly: ten marks from the subject teacher and ten from an external examiner. CISCE suggests experiments rather than fixing them, and expects students to follow instructions, take readings, tabulate them with units in the column heads, plot graphs where asked, and use least count, significant figures and simple error handling. The Class 10 suggestions include a metre rule as a lever, the MA and VR of a pulley system, refraction through a glass slab, the focal length of a convex lens, the course of rays through a prism, specific heat capacity, specific latent heat of ice, Ohm's law with a V-I graph, and a household wiring model. Class 9 suggestions include the Vernier callipers and screw gauge, a simple pendulum with an l versus T2 graph, and verifying Archimedes' principle.
A tutor at home cannot run the school lab, and should not try. What a tutor can do is teach the reasoning behind each experiment, how to draw the table and the graph, how to read a slope, and how to write a one-line conclusion, so that lab periods at school are used well.
Schools in Gurugram sequence chapters in their own order, so the tutor follows the school and fills in around it. This outline assumes a session that starts in spring, which is common; adjust it to your school's calendar.
| Stage | Class 9 focus | Class 10 focus |
|---|---|---|
| First term | Units and measurement; motion and its graphs; derivations of the equations of motion | Moments, work, energy and power; machines; repair any Class 9 gaps in sign convention and circuits |
| Before the half-yearly | Laws of motion and gravitation; fluids with buoyancy numericals | Refraction, total internal reflection and lenses, with ray diagrams every week |
| Second term | Heat and energy; light with mirror numericals; sound | Sound; electricity and household circuits; magnetic effect of current |
| Year end | Electricity and magnetism; full-syllabus revision; practical file | Heat and calorimetry; modern physics; timed full papers and an error log |
After ICSE, most physics students move to ISC (CISCE's Class 11 and 12 course) or to CBSE Class 11. Either way, Class 11 physics adds vectors, calculus-based kinematics and rotational motion, so the jump is real. ICSE students usually arrive with good habits in written working and diagrams, which carry over well. ISC physics also includes practical work, and a tutor should plan for it from Class 11. Our Class 11 physics tutor page covers that year, our ISC Class 12 physics tips look ahead to the board year, and students who are starting entrance preparation can see the JEE physics tutor in Gurgaon page. For physics across all boards in the city, see our physics home tutor in Gurgaon guide.
We send two or three matched profiles, each showing the tutor's fee before you book the demo, and changing tutor later costs nothing. Tutors who join go through an ID check; the Verified badge appears only after our team has reviewed the ID; our page on how we check tutors has the steps. If your child also needs maths for the same board, see our ICSE maths tutor in Gurgaon page.
ICSE physics specialists are fewer than general science tutors, so travel time at the hour you want matters more than distance on a map. At rush hour, Golf Course Road, Sohna Road and the roads into the newer sectors can turn a short trip into a slow one. In DLF Phase 3 and the older sectors such as Sector 15, a tutor who lives nearby is often available for two evenings a week. Around Sector 43 and South City 2, it helps to pick a tutor who does not have to cross the busiest stretch. The Golf Course Road and DLF tuition guide and our Palam Vihar and Old Gurgaon local guide cover local timing.
Physics works well online if the student's notebook is on camera, because the tutor needs to see working and diagrams as they are drawn. Many families use a hybrid: one home session for diagrams and written tests, one online session for numericals and doubts. Every sector and zone is listed on our hub of home tutors in Gurgaon. Families still weighing schools and boards can read Gurgaon schools, boards and choosing a tutor, and our ICSE Class 9 and 10 science guide compares the three papers.
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. Our Gurgaon tuition fees guide explains what moves the fee.
Tell us the class, the chapters causing trouble, any recent test results, where you live (sector or society) and the evenings that work. Two or three ICSE physics tutors are then shortlisted, and the one you choose takes a free demo class.
Parents often tell us their child's school so the tutor can follow the same board and books. These Gurugram schools follow ICSE and ISC, as shown on each school's own site or its board's directory, with the sector each is in. NXTutors has no tie-up with any school; tutors are matched by board and syllabus, and the list is alphabetical, not a ranking.
For this board: ICSE and ISC home tutors in Gurgaon.
More on how these boards differ: Gurugram schools and their boards.
Physics is Science Paper 1 of ICSE Science. In both the 2027 and 2028 syllabuses it is one two-hour written paper of 80 marks, plus 20 marks of internal assessment for practical work. The practical marks are split between the subject teacher (10) and an external examiner (10). Chemistry and biology are separate papers with the same shape.
Today's Class 9 students follow the 2028 syllabus, with eight headings: Measurements and Experimentation; Motion in One Dimension; Laws of Motion; Fluids; Heat and Energy; Light; Sound; and Electricity and Magnetism. Compared with 2027, it adds pictorial Vernier and screw gauge numericals and brings Ohm's law into Class 9. Check the syllabus for your exam year on cisce.org.
Electricity (resistor networks, power and energy bills), light (refraction, total internal reflection and lens numericals), and machines (mechanical advantage, velocity ratio and efficiency) carry most of the numerical work. Calorimetry and echo problems are shorter but follow fixed patterns that reward practice.
No. The CISCE syllabus says scale drawing of ray diagrams is not required, and Class 10 refraction asks for approximate ray diagrams. Examiners still expect the correct rays, arrows on every ray, dashed lines for virtual rays and images, normals where light meets a surface, and the image labelled.
A tutor cannot run the school lab, but can teach the reasoning behind each suggested experiment, how to set out an observation table with units, how to plot a graph and read its slope, and how to write a conclusion. That makes school lab periods far more productive.
If physics, chemistry and biology are all at a similar level, one ICSE science tutor is often enough in Class 9. If physics numericals are the weak point, or it is the Class 10 board year, a physics specialist for Paper 1 usually helps more. Tell us which papers worry you and we match accordingly.
Yes. We match ISC physics tutors for Classes 11 and 12 across Gurugram and online. The Class 9 and 10 sections of this page are written for ICSE; tell us if your child is moving to ISC or CBSE Class 11, or starting JEE preparation, so we shortlist tutors who teach that course.
Yes. Share your sector or society and your slots, and we shortlist two or three ICSE physics tutors who can reach you at that hour. Where specialists nearby are few, a hybrid plan with one home session and one online session often gives a stronger choice. The first class is a free demo.
Tell us the class, board and your area. We share two or three matched tutors, and the first class is a free demo.
