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.

Patna families write maths for very different examiners: the Bihar board, CBSE, ICSE and ISC, and for some children IB or Cambridge IGCSE. A teacher who knows one of these inside out can be the wrong choice for the next. The city's shape matters as well: Patna stretches along the Ganga from Danapur in the west to the old city in the east, so a tutor living near Kankarbagh is rarely the easy answer for a flat off Bailey Road. Share your child's course and your locality with NXTutors and we send two or three maths tutors who suit both. You see each fee before meeting anyone, and the opening class is a free demo.
Two authors cover the exam detail here. Ajay Vatsyayan writes the guidance on IB, IGCSE and ISC maths; Abhinandan Tiwary writes the sections on Class 10 CBSE and ICSE maths. Before we look at any tutor, we ask which body sets the paper, because that decides the textbook, the style of working and the kind of practice that earns marks.
| Syllabus | Examining body | What the final assessment looks like | First check with a tutor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bihar board, Class 10 and Class 12 | Bihar School Examination Board | Set by the board; take the current scheme from its official website | Can you teach from my child's issued textbook, in the medium my child writes in? |
| CBSE Class 10, Standard or Basic | CBSE | 80-mark board paper, 20 marks assessed in school | Which level suits my child, and why? |
| CBSE Class 12 | CBSE | 38 compulsory questions for 80, with 20 internal | How will calculus be spread across the year? |
| ICSE Class 10 and ISC Class 12 | CISCE | 80-mark written paper plus 20 marks of internal or project work | Which exam year's syllabus do you teach from? |
| IB Diploma or Cambridge IGCSE | IB; Cambridge | IB: timed papers plus an exploration. IGCSE: Core or Extended tier | Which course or tier have you taught recently? |
The Bihar School Examination Board, which has its head office in Patna, runs the state's Class 10 (Matric) and Class 12 (Intermediate) examinations. It publishes its own syllabus and scheme of marking, and it revises them from time to time. For that reason this page does not describe a Bihar board paper; the board's official website is the place to confirm the current rules before a plan is drawn up.
What parents can settle is whether a tutor fits. Four points cover most of it:
For 2026-27, CBSE places the 80 board marks across 14 NCERT chapters grouped in seven units, and the paper's design has stayed the same as last session. Ranked by weight, this is where a tutor should spend the year:
| Marks | Unit | Error to look for first |
|---|---|---|
| 20 | Algebra: polynomials, pairs of linear equations, quadratics, arithmetic progressions | Setting up the equation wrongly from a word problem |
| 15 | Geometry: triangles and circles | Statements in a proof with no reason attached |
| 12 | Trigonometry, including heights and distances | Choosing a ratio before the figure is drawn |
| 11 | Statistics and probability | Arithmetic slips inside a grouped frequency table |
| 10 | Mensuration | Dropping units when two solids are combined |
| 6 + 6 | Real numbers; coordinate geometry | Rushing short questions that should be free marks |
The paper has five sections. A carries 20 one-mark questions, of which 18 are multiple-choice and 2 are assertion–reason; B asks five questions of two marks; C six of three; D four of five; and E three case studies worth four each. No calculator is permitted, and π is 22/7 unless the question gives another value. Standard and Basic share the chapters but not the demand: roughly 54% of Standard marks rest on remembering and understanding, against roughly 75% in Basic. Choose Standard if maths in Class 11 is a possibility, and check the school's deadline for the choice.
Since 2026, Class 10 students take one compulsory main exam and may sit an optional second exam to improve up to three subjects, maths among them. Dates for 2027 are not yet out; watch cbse.gov.in. The Class 10 maths preparation guide takes each chapter in turn, the board-year planner lays out the months, and our Class 10 maths tutor page explains how we match for that year.
Many Patna students in Classes 11 and 12 already spend their evenings at a coaching centre; much of the Boring Road frontage is given over to coaching institutes, and more cluster along Bhootnath Road. A home tutor should not repeat that lecture. The useful job is different: finish the problems left unsolved from the coaching sheet, and keep the school board paper from being squeezed out.
The two exams reward different habits. The CBSE Class 12 paper asks 38 compulsory questions for 80 marks, and calculus alone is worth 35, so it earns the biggest slice of each week from the start of the session. JEE Main 2026 Paper 1 had 75 questions for 300 marks, 25 of them maths: 20 multiple-choice and 5 with a numerical answer, each scored +4 when right and −1 when wrong. Confirm the next pattern on jeemain.nta.nic.in. A workable week pairs one coaching-sheet session with one board session that ends on a long answer written out in full. See the Class 12 calculus and algebra guide, the JEE maths topic-wise guide and the Class 12 maths tutor page.
Specialists for these four courses are harder to find than CBSE teachers, so mention the course in your first message; an online specialist can fill the gap if nobody nearby is free.
Most Patna tutors travel by two-wheeler, car or auto. The metro's Blue Line is open between Malahi Pakri, Bhootnath, Zero Mile and the Patliputra bus terminal, while the Red Line under Bailey Road is still being built. Compare tutors by locality on our Patna page.
| Locality | Homes | Arrival | Settle in advance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boring Road | Apartment buildings on the road; older houses in Nageshwar Colony and the Sri Krishna Puri lanes behind it | Most homes are a short turn off the main road; tutors from the adjoining colonies can walk or ride over | A slot that misses the evening rush at the crossing, and the building's sign-in rule |
| Patliputra Colony | A cooperative colony formed in 1954: independent houses with newer apartment blocks | Doorstep arrival at most houses; some buildings keep a visitor register | A tutor from the colony or close by, as roads towards Boring Road fill up in the evening |
| Bailey Road | A long belt of two- and three-bedroom flats on the western stretch | Gate registration is usual; metro construction can slow parts of the road | A tutor from the same stretch of the road, or a slot outside office hours |
| Danapur | Mostly apartments, with houses, plots and builder floors; the cantonment has its own entry rules | Civilian buildings register visitors; ask the family how a visitor enters the cantonment | A tutor based in Danapur or Saguna More rather than the city centre |
| Kankarbagh | One of the city's largest colonies: houses, builder floors and a growing number of flats | Malahi Pakri metro station, opened in July 2026, then an auto; or directly by two-wheeler | Some margin in the slot, since the main-road markets are busy in the evening |
| Patna City | Older houses in the lanes of the old eastern city | Doorstep arrival; two-wheelers and e-rickshaws suit the lanes better than cars | A lane landmark and phone number; the riverfront expressway now links the old city with the west |
Ask the tutor to teach whatever chapter your child is on at school, not a prepared showpiece. Then look for four things:
If the fit is wrong, tell us and we arrange a demo with another tutor on your shortlist. A change of tutor later is free as well. The demo class checklist for parents goes further.
At the same table a tutor catches an error as it is written, which matters most for younger children and proofs. Online suits a specialist living across the city or a coaching day that ends late, and a week with one of each often works well. The home tutor or online tutor article weighs the options.
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. Each tutor sets their own rate. What moves it is the syllabus and class, the tutor's time with that syllabus, the trip to your locality at your chosen hour and the number of sessions each week. Every shortlisted fee is on screen before the demo.
Send five things: the class, the syllabus by its full name (Bihar board, CBSE Standard or Basic, ICSE, ISC, IB or IGCSE), your locality with a nearby landmark, the days and times you can offer, and a budget. We reply with two or three matched maths tutors, each fee listed, and you pick one for a free demo. If nobody suitable can reach your part of Patna at that hour, we suggest an online or mixed plan. NXTutors works from Sector 66, Gurugram, and teaches online across India; the national maths home tutor page shows how we work in other cities.
Maths teachers who live in Patna and want students near home can see open requests on the Patna tuition jobs page.
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 fix their own rates, and you compare each shortlisted fee before choosing whom to meet for the demo.
Yes. We look for tutors who teach from the textbook your child's school has issued, in Hindi or English as your child writes, and who practise from papers the board itself releases. Because the Bihar School Examination Board revises its scheme from time to time, confirm current rules on its official website.
We match across five parts of the city: Boring Road and Patliputra, Bailey Road out to Danapur and Khagaul, Kankarbagh and Rajendra Nagar, Gandhi Maidan with Ashok Rajpath and the old city, and Anisabad to Phulwari Sharif. When no suitable tutor can reach you at your hour, we suggest online sessions.
Algebra, at 20 of the 80 board marks. Geometry follows with 15, trigonometry 12, statistics and probability 11 and mensuration 10, while real numbers and coordinate geometry carry 6 each. The 2026-27 paper keeps last session's design, so recent CBSE sample papers are the right material for timed practice.
Take Standard if maths in Class 11 is at all likely. Both levels examine the same 14 chapters for 80 marks, but Basic puts about three-quarters of its marks on remembering and understanding, while Standard gives far more to application. Check the school's deadline, as the choice is made at registration.
Often, if the tutor does a different job. Coaching covers new chapters at speed; a home tutor can clear the problems left unsolved from the coaching sheet and keep the Class 12 board paper on track, where calculus carries 35 of 80 marks and every answer needs full written working.
From the 2027 exam, CISCE sets one 80-mark paper of seven compulsory units, so the old choice between Sections B and C has gone. Calculus is worth 35 marks, and two projects add 20 more, each marked on format, content, findings and viva. Revision books printed for the earlier layout need care.
Yes. Apartment buildings there usually register visitors at the gate, so give the guard the tutor's name before the demo, and check how visitors enter if you live in the cantonment. Metro work on Bailey Road can slow traffic, so a tutor from Danapur or Saguna More is usually steadiest.
Tell us the class, board and your area. We share two or three matched tutors, and the first class is a free demo.
