Physics tutor jobs: teach physics at home or online with NXTutors

Joining NXTutors is free, and so is onboarding. You choose the classes and boards you take, whether you teach at home, online or both, and the fee for each class. We cannot say how many families will ask for physics near you; that depends on the requests that come in, and nothing on this page promises students or income.

Physics requests tend to fall into three bands. In middle school, physics sits inside general science. From Class 9 it starts to stand on its own even when the timetable still says science: motion graphs, force and momentum, work and energy, sound, then electricity and light in Class 10. Here the worry is nearly always numericals, where a student knows the formula sheet yet cannot decide which relation fits the question.

Classes 11 and 12 are where families most want a specialist. Vectors, projectile and circular motion, rotation, thermodynamics, oscillations and waves give way to electrostatics, current electricity, magnetism, electromagnetic induction, optics and modern physics. Students need derivations they can reproduce and bend to a new situation, units and dimensions checked at every line, and graphs read properly.

A smaller, steady stream comes from international programmes: Cambridge IGCSE physics on the Core or Extended tier, Pearson Edexcel International GCSE physics, and IB Diploma physics at Standard or Higher Level. These parents ask for past-paper practice and command-word discipline as much as for new content.

On CBSE the NCERT textbook is the base, and senior physics adds a practical examination: the student submits a record of experiments and activities, presents an investigatory project and faces a viva alongside the theory paper. Under CISCE, ICSE physics in Classes 9 and 10 rewards crisp definitions and labelled diagrams, and ISC physics includes practical work and a project, so ask early whether the student needs help for the practical day.

Cambridge IGCSE Physics has Core content that every candidate learns and Extended content, which is Core plus Supplement, for candidates aiming at the higher grades. Every candidate also sits one practical paper, either a practical test or a written alternative to practical, so find out which route the school has chosen before you plan. In the IB Diploma, physics is taken at SL or HL and each student carries out an individual scientific investigation for internal assessment. You may teach experimental design, uncertainties and graph analysis, but the investigation itself has to remain the student's own work.

NXTutors does not set a minimum degree for teaching physics. The tutor terms ask that you are 18 or over and that everything on your profile is true. What persuades a family is evidence they can test in a demo: a degree in physics or engineering, years with a particular board, confidence with calculus-based problems for senior students, and real familiarity with that board's past papers and marking. If you have prepared students for the IGCSE alternative-to-practical paper or for ISC practicals, write that down plainly.

Name the exact work rather than writing 'all physics': CBSE Class 11 and 12 with practical-record support, ICSE Class 10, IGCSE Extended, IB Physics HL. Leave out results or ranks you cannot prove.

A request becomes a lead for you only when it fits what you teach: the subject and class band on your profile, the board where it matters (IB, IGCSE and ISC always, Indian boards from Class 9), home or online, and for home lessons a sector inside your travel areas or zone. Before you spend anything you see a masked card with the class, a summary such as 'Class 11, rotational motion numericals', the area, timing, a budget band and a few reasons it suits you. The family's name and number are never on that card.

Unlocking costs credits. At present a lead is priced between 80 and 240 credits, depending on how complete the request is and how soon the family needs someone, and the card shows the price before you unlock. No more than five tutors can unlock one lead, and an open lead expires after about seven days. Once you unlock, you send a single proposal: a short message, your fee per hour and up to three demo slots. Two-way chat opens when the family replies or shortlists you; a paid plan on its own never opens it.

You set your own fee for each class, and the family sees it before the free demo. 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. A physics fee usually moves with the class, the board, practical preparation and travel time.

Under the platform's current rules (see /tutor-terms), for home tuition you receive 50% of the first month's fee and the full fee from the second month onwards; for online tuition you receive 70% every month. These are rules, not forecasts. Charge only the fee you showed before the demo, never ask for money for the demo itself, and agree any change in advance, for future classes only.

At home you can watch a student sketch a free-body diagram and stop the slip before it reaches the answer; keep any demonstration safe, with nothing involving mains electricity or heating. Online physics suits motivated senior students and international-board candidates, provided you can see the working through a stylus on a shared whiteboard or a phone camera above the notebook.

With a child, speak to the parent rather than only the student, teach where an adult is at home or where the online class can be observed, and never record or photograph without the parent's consent. The full rules are on /safeguarding-policy.

Joining is free. Apply on WhatsApp through the Apply form on /become-a-tutor, which writes the message for you; the team replies and sets up your account. At first login you confirm with a one-time code, then complete your profile: physics classes, boards, fee per class, home, online or both, and travel areas. Then upload your ID under Documents. Tutors who join go through an ID check: you confirm your phone or email with a one-time code and upload a government photo ID (Aadhaar, voter ID, passport or driving licence, front and back), which our team reviews. The Verified badge appears only after our team has reviewed the ID. It is not a police or background check; the steps are on /how-we-verify-tutors.

The free plan includes 160 lead credits a month; extra credits cost ₹199 for 500 or ₹499 for 1,500 and never expire. Pro, Premium and Featured are optional paid plans (see /pricing) that never change how tutors are ranked for a request. To see demand, browse /tuition-jobs or a city page such as /tuition-jobs/gurugram, /tuition-jobs/delhi, /tuition-jobs/bengaluru, /tuition-jobs/pune or /tuition-jobs/kota.
