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.

Over five school years, a child's science book changes character. Class 6 is mostly looking and noticing; by Class 10 the same subject has split into three, each demanding numericals, equations or labelled figures. Dehradun children meet that shift through different textbooks: NCERT for CBSE schools, the books each ICSE school selects, or the prescribed texts of the Uttarakhand board. A good science tutor teaches from whichever book is on your child's desk, arrives at the same hour after school whether it is a monsoon afternoon or a cold winter evening, and builds careful written answers well before the board year. NXTutors sends you two or three such tutors, shows each fee first, and makes the opening class a free demo.
Aaditya Kashyap writes the CBSE and ICSE guidance on this page. The short version is that the tutor moves from explaining the world to training exam answers, and the stages below show where that shift happens.
Until Class 10, one tutor for all three strands usually works better than three, because a single person can see whether a failed numerical is an arithmetic problem or a concept problem. How we approach science nationally is on the science home tutor page, while the Class 6 and Class 8 science tutor pages cover the middle years.
The Uttarakhand Board of School Education, whose office is at Ramnagar in Nainital district, conducts the state's High School examination at Class 10. It publishes its own syllabus, along with question banks and model answer sheets, on ubse.uk.gov.in. We do not set out a UBSE science paper here, since the board fixes and revises its own scheme; the website is the place to confirm what applies this year.
Three questions decide the match. Can the tutor teach in the language your child answers in, Hindi or English? Will practice come from the prescribed book and the board's own question banks rather than from another board's guide? And will diagrams and balanced equations get the same weekly drill they would for any other syllabus? A tutor who says yes to all three suits a UBSE student well. For board-specific help beyond science, the Uttarakhand board tutor in Dehradun page has more.
Candidates write for three hours for 80 marks. The remaining 20 are internal and divide into four equal parts: periodic tests, multiple assessment, the portfolio, and subject enrichment through practical work. Across the board paper, biology is worth 30 marks while physics and chemistry hold 25 apiece.
| Unit | Marks | Weekly practice |
|---|---|---|
| World of Living (heredity, reproduction, life processes, control and coordination) | 25 | One labelled diagram redrawn from memory |
| Chemical Substances (carbon compounds, metals and non-metals, acids, bases and salts, chemical reactions) | 25 | Balancing and naming, a few equations every session |
| Effects of Current (electric circuits and resistance, then magnetism from current) | 13 | Every numerical line ends with its unit |
| Natural Phenomena (light, the eye and colour) | 12 | Ray diagrams, an arrowhead on each ray |
| Our Environment | 5 | A quick revision pass; easy marks if not skipped |
The 2026-27 sample paper has 39 questions. Twenty one-mark items come first, a mix of multiple-choice and assertion–reason; then six two-mark answers, seven three-mark answers, three four-mark questions built on a case or a source, and three five-mark long answers. By skill, half the marks test knowledge and understanding, 30% application and 20% analysis and evaluation. Each type wants a different drill: fast recall for the one-mark block, as many separate points as there are marks for short answers, reading the passage before the question in the case items, and a diagram or equation plus four or five clear points in a long answer. CBSE puts sample papers and marking schemes on cbseacademic before the exam, and those make the most reliable practice. See our CBSE Class 10 science notes and the Class 10 science tutor page.
Three pieces of the 2026-27 syllabus are tested inside school only. One is the physics of generators and motors together with electromagnetic induction; the second is evolution; the third is how the periodic table orders the elements. Because they feed internal marks and Class 11 picks them up again, they deserve real teaching, even though board revision time belongs to the chapters on the paper. The curriculum also lists 14 experiments, and board questions draw on them, so the practical file belongs in revision too.
All Class 10 students sit a compulsory main exam; eligible students may take a second, optional sitting to improve up to three subjects, science among them. The 2027 dates are not yet out, so follow cbse.gov.in and prepare as if the main exam were the only attempt. Our Class 10 board-year plan takes the calendar month by month.
The Class 9 textbook for 2026-27 is NCERT's Exploration. Marks keep the familiar 80 plus 20 shape, shared across four units: Matter, its nature and behaviour (27), World of living (25), Motion, force, work and sound (23) and Earth as a system (5). A sibling's old notebook follows the previous textbook's chapters, so it is a poor guide this year; the tutor's plan should start from Exploration itself. Our Class 9 science tutor page goes further.
At ICSE Class 10, CISCE examines science as three separate papers, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, each with its own internal assessment. Schools pick their textbooks within the CISCE syllabus, so the tutor works from your child's books and from CISCE specimen papers rather than an NCERT plan. Exact definitions and complete numericals win ICSE marks. Plenty of ICSE families want support in just one of those papers, usually starting in Class 9. ICSE science tutors are scarcer, so put the board in your first message; an online option widens the field. The ICSE home tutor in Dehradun page covers the board as a whole.
Careful children collect marks in diagrams and equations, and hurried ones lose them there. Whatever the board, a tutor should come back to these until they need no reminder:
At the free demo, ask the tutor to teach the current school chapter and notice whether these habits appear without prompting. The demo class checklist for parents adds more. If the first tutor does not suit, your next demo is with another tutor on the shortlist, and a later switch is free as well.
For Classes 6 to 10, the lesson usually sits between the end of school and dinner, so a short, predictable trip for the tutor matters more than anything else. Here is what to arrange in six localities on the northern, eastern and south-eastern sides of the city. Browse tutors by locality on the Dehradun page.
Jakhan lies on the upper part of Rajpur Road, with independent houses, villas and apartments; tutors from Kishanpur or the Canal Road side reach it without crossing the busy centre. Rajpur, the old settlement at the upper end of the road, has many houses set back from the main road, so send a map pin before the first visit. Malsi, known for its deer park, is mostly newer gated complexes: register the tutor at the gate and ask whether a regular pass can follow the demo. Evenings turn cold early up here in winter, so many families move science a little earlier.
Raipur Road runs east from the Sahastradhara crossing through colonies of plots, flats and independent houses. Families further out may find fewer tutors living close by, so a tutor from Dalanwala, Karanpur or Sahastradhara Road, with a slot outside the evening rush at the crossing, is often the practical match. Say whether you live in a house or a flat, and share a colony landmark.
Nehru Colony, near Fuwara Chowk, has markets close at hand and a mix of houses and flats; a two-wheeler suits the market lanes, and an exact lane landmark saves the first visit. Jogiwala sits at a busy chowk joining the Haridwar highway and the ring road, which lets tutors from Nehru Colony or Mohkampur arrive without going through the centre; keep the slot clear of office hours at the chowk.
On heavy-rain days in the monsoon, switching that day's lesson online with the same tutor keeps the week on track. More detail on these neighbourhoods is in the Dehradun home tuition guide.
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 fees. Expect Class 10 board preparation to be priced above help in Classes 6 to 8; the journey to your home and how many lessons you take each week shift the figure too. Fees are on the shortlist before any demo, and our pricing guide goes through what drives them.
Share the class and board, which of the three sciences troubles your child, a landmark near home, and the weekday afternoons you can offer. We reply with two or three science tutors and their fees, and you choose one for a free demo class. If nobody suitable can reach you at that hour, we propose an online or part-online plan. NXTutors runs from Sector 66, Gurugram, and teaches online throughout India. For Class 11 and 12, see our physics, chemistry and biology tutor pages for Dehradun.
If you teach science and live in Dehradun, current student requests are listed on the Dehradun 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. Board-year teaching tends to cost more than middle-school help, and each fee is shown before the demo.
Yes. We look for tutors who teach from the prescribed textbook in the language your child answers in, Hindi or English, and who practise with the question banks and model answers on ubse.uk.gov.in. The Uttarakhand board sets its own scheme, so the current syllabus should always be checked there.
Usually, yes. Until Class 10, one science tutor sees the whole picture and can tell whether a numerical goes wrong because of arithmetic or because of the idea. Separate subject tutors make more sense in Classes 11 and 12, or for an ICSE student who needs help with only one paper.
The three-hour board paper is worth 80 marks and the school adds 20 for internal work. Biology carries 30 of the board marks, chemistry and physics 25 each. Chemical Substances and World of Living are the largest units at 25 marks apiece, followed by Effects of Current at 13.
For 2026-27, the electric motor, electromagnetic induction and the generator, evolution, and the arrangement of elements in the periodic table are assessed by the school, not the board paper. They still count internally and return in Class 11, so a good tutor teaches them fully but saves board revision time for examined chapters.
Yes. CBSE now follows NCERT's new Class 9 book, Exploration, with four units: Matter at 27 marks, World of living at 25, Motion, force, work and sound at 23, and Earth as a system at 5. Older notes from siblings follow the previous book, so plan from the new chapters instead.
Yes, though tutors living in Jakhan, Kishanpur or Malsi itself are usually the steadiest match. Evenings turn cold early on the upper side of the valley, so many families start a little earlier. In Malsi's gated complexes, register the tutor at the gate and ask about a regular visitor pass.
Move that day's lesson online with the same tutor rather than cancelling. Heavy showers can slow travel across Dehradun during the monsoon, and a short screen session keeps the week's chapter on schedule. Agree this arrangement at the demo so that both sides know what happens on a stormy afternoon.
Tell us the class, board and your area. We share two or three matched tutors, and the first class is a free demo.
