Private tuition in India, one tutor for one learner
What is Edutara?
Edutara is a private tuition service in India that matches one learner with one tutor, for lessons at home or online. It is for school students on CBSE, ICSE and state boards, for students preparing for entrance exams, and for adults learning a language or a skill. Families and learners pay the tutor directly for lessons, and tutors never pay anything to join Edutara or to receive students.

What gets in the way
Why finding the right tutor is harder than it looks
School students, college students, parents and working adults run into the same six problems, in every part of India.
01
A tutor for the wrong board
Most tutor listings are built around CBSE. A learner on ICSE or a state board needs someone who knows that syllabus and that paper pattern.
02
A different fee every time you ask
The same lessons can be quoted three different ways. It is hard to know what a fair fee is for your class and your city.
03
Batches run on their clock
Coaching batches meet at fixed hours. A private tutor fits around school, college, work and travel.
04
Not knowing who is coming home
Background checks for home tutors are not required in India, so families are often left to judge a stranger at the door.
05
The pace of forty students
In a large class the pace is the average. One-to-one lessons move at the speed of the one learner in the room.
06
Tutors paying to be found
Many platforms charge tutors for every lead, whether or not a single lesson ever happens, and that cost finds its way into fees.
Our answer
Edutara looks for a tutor who teaches your exact class, board or exam, lets the first lesson decide, and charges tutors nothing to join or to receive learners.
How it works
Four steps from a need to a regular tutor
The path is the same for a Class 4 student, a JEE aspirant and a working adult learning spoken English, and you can stop after the first lesson if it does not suit.
01
Describe the need
Tell us the class or exam, the board, the subject, and whether lessons should happen at home or online. A few lines in your own words are enough.
02
We look for a tutor
A person reads your request and looks for a tutor who teaches exactly that: the same syllabus, the same paper pattern, and a way of reaching you at home or on a video call.
03
The first lesson is a trial
Meet the tutor and have one real lesson. The learner and the family see how the tutor explains, and you continue only if it works.
04
Continue, and pay the tutor directly
Lessons carry on at the times you agree with the tutor. Lesson fees are agreed with the tutor and paid to the tutor, and Edutara does not collect them.
The way we work
Why Edutara
What stays the same for every learner, whether it is a Class 2 child learning to read or an adult getting ready for IELTS.
One tutor, one learner
Every lesson belongs to one learner, so the tutor can slow down on the chapter that is hard and move quickly through the one that is already clear.
The right board and exam
CBSE, ICSE / ISC, a state board, JEE, NEET-UG or CUET-UG: we look for a tutor who knows the syllabus and the paper pattern the learner will actually face.
At home or online
Lessons at the learner's home, or on a video call from anywhere in India, at times that fit around school, college or work.
The first lesson is a trial
You meet the tutor in a real lesson before anything is settled, and you continue only if the learner is comfortable and the teaching makes sense.
Tutors never pay
No joining fee, no commission and no charge per lead, for any tutor. Whatever you pay for lessons goes to the tutor who teaches them.
English and Hindi
Read the site and describe your need in English or in Hindi, and tell us which language the lessons should be taught in.
Subjects
Start with the subject
Tell us the subject and the board, and we look for a tutor who knows that syllabus, whether the lessons happen at home or online.
Plain answers about fees, the trial lesson, boards and exams, home or online tuition, and teaching with Edutara.
What is Edutara, and who is it for?Also asked as: Edutara kya hai?
Edutara helps you find a private tutor in India: one tutor for one learner, teaching at your home or online. School students from Class 1 to Class 12 on CBSE, ICSE / ISC and state boards can use it, and so can entrance exam aspirants, college and university students, and adults who want spoken English, IELTS preparation, a new language or a skill for work.
How much does a home tutor cost?Also asked as: Home tutor ki fees kitni hoti hai? · Tuition fees kitni lagegi?
Lesson fees are agreed between you and the tutor, and they depend on the class, the subject and the city, which is why this page quotes no single figure. You pay lesson fees to the tutor directly. Edutara charges families separately for its own work: a one-time matching fee, and a small monthly fee for keeping the match working.
Will the tutor come home, or are the lessons online?Also asked as: Tutor ghar aayenge kya? · Online tuition bhi hoti hai?
Either, and you choose when you describe the need. For home tuition, the tutor comes to the learner's home at times you agree together. Online lessons happen on a video call, which suits a learner looking for a subject that is hard to find nearby, or an adult fitting lessons around work. If both would suit you, say so, and we can look more widely.
How do you find the right tutor?Also asked as: Tutor kaise milega?
You tell us the class or exam, the board, the subject, and home or online. A person then reads the request and looks for a tutor who teaches exactly that, so a Class 9 ICSE learner is matched with someone who knows the ICSE syllabus, and a Maharashtra HSC student with someone who knows that board. The more you share about where the learner is stuck, the better the match can be.
Is the first lesson a trial?Also asked as: Pehli class trial hoti hai kya?
Yes. The first lesson with a new tutor is a trial. It is a real lesson, and it lets the learner and the family see how the tutor explains, whether the pace feels right, and whether the learner is comfortable asking questions. You continue with that tutor only if it works.
Which boards and exams can I ask for?Also asked as: State board ke liye tutor milega?
For school: CBSE, ICSE / ISC, and state boards such as UP Board, Bihar Board, WBBSE / WBCHSE, Maharashtra SSC / HSC and Karnataka SSLC / PUC, among others. For entrance exams: JEE Main and Advanced, NEET-UG, CUET-UG, and state CETs such as MHT CET, KCET, AP and TG EAPCET and WBJEE. Name the board or exam when you describe the need, since the syllabus and the paper pattern decide which tutor fits.
Can college students and working adults learn with Edutara?Also asked as: Adults ke liye spoken English classes milengi?
Yes. College and university students can ask for help with semester subjects, and working adults can ask for spoken English, IELTS preparation, a new language or a skill they need at work. Every lesson is one to one, so the pace, the topics and the timings are set around the learner's own week.
Can the lessons be taught in Hindi?Also asked as: Hindi medium ke liye tutor milega?
Yes, you can ask for that. The site is in English and Hindi, and you can describe your need in either. When you do, mention the language the lessons should be taught in, for instance Hindi for a Hindi medium learner, and we look for a tutor who can teach that way.
Is home tuition available in my city?Also asked as: Mere sheher mein home tutor milega?
Online lessons work anywhere in India with a steady internet connection. For home tuition, tell us your city and locality when you describe the need, and we look for a tutor who can reach you there. Edutara is new, so we answer for your area once we have looked, and we tell you plainly what we find.
I want to teach. Can I join as a tutor, and does it cost anything?Also asked as: Tutor kaise bane? · Home tutor job ke liye kya karna hoga?
Edutara welcomes college students, graduates, retired teachers and teachers who work outside the school system. Applying is free, and tutors never pay Edutara anything: no joining fee, no commission and no charge per lead. Apply on the tutor jobs page and you receive an email with the next steps. Section 28 of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 bars teachers serving in schools from private tuition, so Edutara does not take them on.
