UP Board Home Tutor in Gorakhpur (High School & Intermediate)

The board in a few lines

Its formal name is Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad, Uttar Pradesh, and its head office is at Prayagraj. It was set up there in 1921 by an act of the United Provinces Legislative Council and held its first examination in 1923. It recognises schools, prescribes courses and textbooks, and conducts two public examinations: High School after Class 10 and Intermediate after Class 12.

The Gorakhpur regional office, and what it handles

The board's contact page lists five regional offices: Meerut, Bareilly, Prayagraj, Varanasi and Gorakhpur. The Gorakhpur office is at Raiganj. It serves eleven districts, among them Gorakhpur itself, Deoria, Kushinagar, Maharajganj, Basti, Gonda, Bahraich, Balrampur and Shrawasti. The board sends questions about examinations, results, duplicate certificates and mark sheets, migration, verification and scrutiny to its regional offices.

One detail on that page matters for older records. Because the Gorakhpur office is described as newly created, the page asks families from its districts to go to the Varanasi regional office for work on examinations from 1986 to 2017, and to the Prayagraj head office for the years 1923 to 1985. Anyone chasing an older mark sheet should read that note first, and use only the contact details on upmsp.edu.in. A tutor has no role in these requests.

Registration: the notices families miss

The board registers students well ahead. In the 2026–27 session its home page shows advance registration for Classes 9 and 11, for the examinations of 2028, and registration of Class 10 and 12 students, regular and private, for the 2027 examinations. Two recent notices on the same page are worth a parent's attention:

• APAAR ID. A notice dated 31 August 2026 concerns entering each student's APAAR ID in the online registration. Ask the school whether your child's has been entered.
• Date of birth. A notice dated 27 August 2026 asks schools to take care when recording a child's date of birth at admission. Errors here travel into the registration and onto the certificate, so check the school record now.

The board has also posted its 2027 High School and Intermediate examination programme in the notices list. Read the timetable there, not in a forwarded message.

Help after the results

The board's home page links two services worth knowing. Its results portal holds High School and Intermediate results, compartment and improvement results and certificates from 2003 to the present, and the Samadhan portal takes problems with mark sheets, certificates and results. The page also lists the 2026 scrutiny results by regional office, Gorakhpur among them, and notices for improvement and compartment papers. If a child needs one of those papers, a tutor's part is focused preparation in that subject.

High School science for 2026–27, unit by unit

The board's Class 10 science file sets 100 marks: a 70-mark written paper and 30 for practical work. The pass mark is written as 23 plus 10, so a student needs 23 from the paper and 10 from the practical. The written paper has five units.

The chemistry and biology units carry 40 of the 70 marks, so they need steady work from the first month. The file also says that the mirror formula and the lens formula need not be derived: a tutor should spend that time on using them, with sign conventions and ray diagrams, instead. In electricity, the file asks for the link between power, voltage, current and resistance, which suits short daily practice. Our science home tutors in Gorakhpur page covers the subject across boards.

The science practical: thirty marks in two halves

The 30 practical marks are split in two. An external examiner awards 15: three experiments, one each from physics, chemistry and biology, at 4 marks each, and a viva worth 3. The school's own examiner awards the other 15: 9 for three projects, one from each science, and 6 for sessional work through the year.

The file lists fifteen experiments. They include finding the pH of samples such as dilute acid, lemon juice and water; sorting reactions into combination, decomposition, displacement and double displacement; arranging zinc, iron, copper and aluminium by reactivity; plotting current against voltage to find a resistance; preparing a slide of stomata from a leaf peel; finding the focal length of a concave mirror and a convex lens; and drawing the magnetic field lines of a bar magnet. A tutor cannot run the laboratory, but can make sure the child knows what each experiment shows, can draw it, and can face the viva.

High School social science: four parts and the map

Social science is also 70 written and 30 internal, but the internal marks are built differently. The written paper has four parts: history 20, geography 20, civics 15 and economics 15. Within history and geography, 5 marks each go to map work on an outline map of India, which means 10 marks of the paper depend on maps alone.

The 30 internal marks come in three blocks of 10: a project or activity in August, another in December, and 10 from the four school unit tests, whose total is scaled down to 10. The file marks each project for its content, its presentation, the way the work was carried out, and a short oral or written check that the student understood it. A tutor's job is to help the child plan and understand the project, never to produce it. Map practice, a few places each week, protects those 10 marks.

The same four unit tests, two different weights

Both files set the same pattern of school unit tests: a multiple-choice test in the second week of July worth 20, ten of them for summer homework; a descriptive test in the last week of August; another multiple-choice test in the last week of November; and a descriptive test in the last week of December, each worth 20. In science, the file says these marks are not included in the result. In social science, the four together are converted into 10 internal marks.

Either way, a tutor should read every unit test paper: it is the year's clearest early warning, and shows whether the child is weaker at quick recall or at full written answers. The summer homework that feeds the July test is a sensible first task for a new tutor.

Intermediate science in brief

• Physics: 70 written and 30 practical, with the pass mark set as 23 plus 10. See physics tutors in Gorakhpur.
• Chemistry: a 70-mark paper across ten units, from solutions to biomolecules. See chemistry tutors in Gorakhpur.
• Biology: 70 written and 30 practical, in units on reproduction (14), genetics and evolution (18), biology in human welfare (14), biotechnology (10) and ecology (14). See biology tutors in Gorakhpur.
• Mathematics: 100 marks, with calculus alone worth 44. See maths tutors in Gorakhpur.

Hindi medium or English medium: tell us first

UP Board students in Gorakhpur write in Hindi or in English, and the board's own syllabus files are in Hindi. An English-medium tutor should still read them, since units and marks are the same in either language. When you send a request, name the board, the class and the language of the answer script together. The tutor may explain in whichever language your child follows fastest, but practice answers should use the terms of the paper your child will write. Our English home tutors in Gorakhpur page covers the English paper.

How UP Board tutors reach six Gorakhpur localities

• Sahjanwa is a town west of the city with its own rail halt and bus links. Ask the tutor to teach from the school's textbooks and check the board's model papers.
• GIDA is read by sector and sub-sector. Fewer tutors live in the township, so start before term and consider two longer weekday visits or a weekend session.
• Shahpur, on the Pipraich road side near Asuran, suits a home tutor for High School maths and science with online help for one senior subject.
• Basharatpur is a residential area of several colonies in the north; name the colony and a main-road shop.
• Rapti Nagar is laid out in phases; give the phase, block and house number, and say if the home is in Raptinagar Vistar.
• Divya Nagar, on the eastern edge, has fewer tutors right next door; share a map pin and plan fewer, longer sessions.

The Gorakhnath, Old City and GIDA, Asuran and Rapti Nagar and Taramandal and East Gorakhpur zone pages go further; every locality is on the Gorakhpur home tutors page, and our Gorakhpur home tuition guide covers each zone. For lessons on screen, see online tutors for Gorakhpur.

Five questions for a UP Board tutor at the demo

1. "Which class, subject and medium have you taught on this board recently?"
2. "Can you open this session's syllabus file for the subject?" A tutor who uses it finds it quickly.
3. "Which units carry the most marks, and how will you order the year?" For High School science, listen for the chemistry and biology units.
4. "How will you prepare my child for the viva and the projects without doing them?"
5. "What will you do with the unit test papers?" The right answer is to read each one and plan from the errors.

We send two or three matched tutors and show each fee before you book. The first class is a free demo, and switching tutor later is free. Tutors who join go through an ID check; the Verified badge appears only after the ID check is complete (how we check tutors). The demo class checklist has more.

Fees and getting started

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 fee. The pricing guide and our post on home tuition fees in Gorakhpur explain what to ask.

Send the class, the Intermediate group if relevant, the medium, whether your child is a regular or private candidate, and your locality with a landmark. The first class is a free demo.
