Science tutor jobs in Pune for Classes 6 to 10

If you teach general science to Classes 6 to 10, this page sets out who asks for it in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad, which suburbs are practical to reach, and what wins a family over at the free demo. Joining is free; your fee, your hours and your zones are your own choice.

Middle-school science is where many Pune requests start. Classes 6 to 8 on CBSE, ICSE or the State Board want a tutor who can make one combined subject feel manageable: reading the textbook with the child, drawing the diagrams, turning a chapter into a few clear questions. Parents of these students often add maths to the same request, so a tutor comfortable with both is more useful than a narrow specialist at this stage.

From Standard IX, State Board families want activity-sheet habits. The board publishes one combined scheme for IX and X in science, so the way a student answers in Class 9 is the way the SSC will mark them. Those sheets ask for reasons, completed tables and diagrams as well as definitions, and they reward a student who can explain an observation in a sentence or two rather than recite a paragraph. The board's own sample papers, under Student Login on mahahsscboard.in, are the closest guide.

CBSE and ICSE students in Kothrud, Aundh, Baner, Viman Nagar and Kharadi make up the other large group. CBSE Class 10 science is taught from NCERT, with physics, chemistry and biology chapters in one book; ICSE splits the three sciences into separate papers. Families on either board usually ask for help in Class 9, once the jump in numericals and chemical equations shows up in test marks. A tutor who can bridge to Class 11 subject choices is valued, because many Pune students move to a junior college or a new stream after Class 10.

Science lessons for younger children tend to be early evening, just after school, and that is the hour Pune's main roads are at their worst. Tutors who live inside the same zone are the ones families keep. In Hadapsar, Kondhwa & NIBM there is no metro, and townships such as Magarpatta control entry down to the cluster and tower; a tutor from the south-east belt is a far better fit than one crossing the city on Solapur Road. Katraj, Bibwewadi & Sinhagad Road works the same way, with the metro ending at Swargate.

Where rail helps, use it. Pimpri, Chinchwad and Akurdi have suburban trains on the Pune–Lonavala line, and PCMC Bhavan is the northern end of the Purple Line, so the older half of Wakad, Hinjewadi & Pimpri-Chinchwad is reachable from central Pune without a two-wheeler. Koregaon Park, Camp & Wanowrie has Bund Garden and Pune Railway Station stops for its northern half. Add only the localities you could reach on a wet July evening.

• Familiarity with SSC Science and Technology Part 1 and Part 2 activity sheets, or with the CBSE or ICSE science scheme you list.
• Clear labelled diagrams drawn by the student, not copied from a guide.
• Help with practical journals and projects that explains without ever writing them for the student.
• Patience with Class 6 to 8 children, including short sessions and a parent kept informed.
• For Marathi-medium State Board students, comfort with the textbook's Marathi technical terms.
• A plan that fixes Class 9 gaps early, since Class 10 leans on Class 9 on every board.
• Readiness to cover maths too, which many Pune families add for middle school.

On your profile, list the boards and the exact classes: "SSC Standard IX and X science, CBSE Classes 6–10, ICSE physics and chemistry to Class 10". Mention the medium you can teach in if it is not only English. Families moving to Pune from other states often join a State Board school mid-way, and a tutor who can explain how the activity sheets work becomes very useful to them.

For the demo, take one topic the child has just met in school, such as a chemical reaction or the human eye, and teach it the way the child will be examined: an observation, a reason, a diagram. Then show the parent a short plan for the term. Families compare two or three matched tutors, with each fee shown in advance, so a calm, specific demo tends to matter more than a long list of qualifications.
