Tutoring in Gorakhpur: what to know
On NXTutors, Gorakhpur is split into four zones for tutors. Golghar and Civil Lines is the central belt, with Golghar, Civil Lines, Bank Road, Betiahata and Daudpur just south of Gorakhpur Junction. Gorakhnath, Old City and GIDA joins the older western lanes of Gorakhnath, Humayunpur, Jatepur, Alinagar and Turkmanpur to the GIDA township and Sahjanwa further west. Asuran and Rapti Nagar covers Asuran, Basharatpur, Shahpur and the phased colony of Rapti Nagar in the north, and Taramandal and East Gorakhpur runs from Taramandal on the Ramgarh Tal side through Mohaddipur and Kunraghat to Divya Nagar. Homes range from old-city houses on narrow lanes to flats above shops and numbered plots, and most tutors ride a two-wheeler.
Gorakhpur children are taught for three main boards, the state's own, CBSE and CISCE, and IB or IGCSE learners mostly find their tutor online. The state board, formally Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad, Uttar Pradesh, sets High School papers after Class 10 and Intermediate papers after Class 12, and Gorakhpur is one of five regional offices named on its official home page. Medium matters as much as board: a Hindi-medium High School student and an English-medium CBSE student in the same class need different lessons, so make your teaching language plain on your profile, Hindi, English or the two together. If you teach Hindi grammar or English writing, say so; every board marks the language papers.
You can teach at students' homes, online, or both. Take a parent in Rapti Nagar asking for a tutor: NXTutors puts forward two or three names, looking first at tutors who live in Rapti Nagar, then at those who already teach there, then at the rest of the zone, the whole city and finally online tutors. Your fee is on the parent's screen ahead of the opening demo, which is free, and a later change of tutor costs the family nothing. GIDA and Sahjanwa in the west and Divya Nagar in the east are long rides from the old city, and roads near Golghar and the station approach slow down in the evening, so pick localities you could ride to on any lesson day without strain.
How you get tuition work on NXTutors
Six steps from applying to your first class. Swipe to see each step.
-
1
Sign up with a one-time code
Sign-up opens with a one-time code sent to your phone or email. Next comes your teaching detail: subjects, classes, the boards you know (state board, CBSE, ICSE and so on), your medium and the parts of Gorakhpur you cover.
-
2
Upload your ID for the ID check
Add a government photo ID, which our team then reviews. That review is the ID check tutors who join go through: it settles identity, nothing more, and it is not a police or background check.

3
Your profile carries the Verified badge
Families see your boards, your localities anywhere from Gorakhnath to Divya Nagar, your open hours and the fee you chose; the Verified badge appears only after the ID check is complete.

A family nearby sends a request
Imagine a request from Basharatpur. NXTutors picks two or three tutors, starting with people living in Basharatpur, then those already teaching there, then the zone, the city and online.

Free demo; the family sees your fee first
Before booking, the parent can read your fee. Lesson one is a free demo in the family's home, a parent present, and gives you a feel for the child's level, board and spare hours.

Teach at home, online or both
After that, the mix is yours: home lessons in the localities you chose, video students anywhere in Uttar Pradesh or beyond, or a blend, perhaps Tuesday and Friday in Golghar plus a weekend lesson on screen.
Boards you can teach in Gorakhpur
A Gorakhpur tutor can meet any of four syllabus families. For the state board, High School comes after Class 10 and Intermediate after Class 12; courses and textbooks are prescribed by the board, and upmsp.edu.in carries its notices, so check patterns there each term instead of trusting a copy passed around. CBSE teaching rests on NCERT, and the board's academic website has its sample papers and marking schemes. CISCE publishes the regulations and specimen papers behind ICSE and ISC. IB and IGCSE students here are mostly taught over video, from each programme's own published guides. List boards, classes and medium on your profile.
MSPUP
High School (after Class 10); Intermediate (after Class 12)
This Prayagraj board dates from 1921 and held its first papers in 1923; its structure was 10+2 from day one. Besides running both public examinations, it grants school recognition and decides the courses and books, and Gorakhpur appears among the regional offices on its home page. Keep to the set books, in whichever medium the child writes, and take every syllabus change from upmsp.edu.in.
Keep pace with the NCERT chapter a Gorakhpur CBSE student has open in class this week, and set practice from the board's published sample questions and marking guides on cbseacademic.nic.in. Use the demo to learn the date of the coming school test and any evenings lost to coaching. Where a brother or sister in the house is on the state board, plan that hour as its own job.
CISCE
Class 10 (ICSE); Class 12 (ISC)
These two CISCE examinations reward long, orderly answers in a wide spread of subjects, set literature texts in English and steady project work across the session. Build each term from what cisce.org publishes, its regulations and specimen papers, and help the student break projects into small weekly pieces so nothing is left for the final weeks.
IB
Classes 11 and 12 (Diploma Programme)
A Gorakhpur Diploma student most likely learns with you on a video call, with the ibo.org subject guide open beside you. Talk through choices for the Internal Assessment and the Extended Essay and give feedback on early versions; writing any part of them for the student is off limits. One fixed weekly hour clear of school beats last-minute calls.
Two exam boards offer IGCSE, Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel, and many subjects come in core and extended tiers; settle both questions before lesson one. After that, old papers, examiners' mark schemes and command words carry the work. Cambridge keeps its syllabuses on cambridgeinternational.org, and for a learner in Gorakhpur an online specialist is the usual route.
