One tutor, one learner
The hour belongs to a single learner. Nothing is skipped because the rest of a batch already understood it, and nothing is repeated because most of the room did not.

What is home tuition in Pune?
Home tuition in Pune means a tutor comes to your flat or house and teaches one learner at a time, at an hour that survives school, the coaching-class rush and the evening traffic on Karve Road or Nagar Road. Learners here sit a wide mix of papers. The Maharashtra state board conducts the SSC and HSC examinations from Pune, where its head office and its Pune divisional board both sit. CBSE schools fill the newer townships on the edges of the city, and ICSE and ISC run in the older schools of the cantonment. A home tutor teaches to whichever of those syllabi the school follows, in English, Marathi or semi-English, and stays with the portion the school is teaching that week.
What it gives the learner
- One learner in the room, so a doubt in geometry can take the whole hour when it needs to.
- A tutor who works from the book the school uses, Balbharati for the state board or NCERT for CBSE.
- Lesson times that fit a Pune week: school hours, class tests and the commute home.
- The same tutor through the year, so January revision starts from what was shaky in August.
- Online lessons for the weeks when crossing the city is the hard part.
Suits
- Class 10 students sitting the SSC papers in March 2027
- Class 11 and 12 students carrying HSC and MHT CET together
- Students in CBSE and ICSE schools, from Classes 1 to 12
- College students in Pune stuck on one paper
- Adults in the IT parks who want spoken English or IELTS
Pune
How a Pune learner gets matched with a tutor
Four steps, from the first message to a weekly timetable that survives school hours and Pune traffic.
1
Tell us the class, board and locality
Say whether the school follows the state board, CBSE or ICSE, which subjects are slipping, and where in Pune you are: Baner, Bibwewadi, Wagholi or anywhere else in the city. Lessons at home or online is your choice.
Step 1 of 4
2
Edutara looks for that tutor
A person reads the request and looks for someone who teaches that syllabus and can reach your locality on time, or teach online. A Marathi-medium Class 9 student and an ISC Class 12 student need different tutors.
Step 2 of 4
3
One lesson
The first lesson is a trial
The tutor comes home, or joins online, and teaches a full lesson. The learner sees how the explaining goes and whether the hour suits the day, and carries on once that lesson works.
Step 3 of 4
4
Settle days and hours with the tutor
Days and hours are agreed with the tutor, and Edutara confirms the fee for each lesson and bills it monthly. School timings, coaching-class slots and the evening commute usually shape what the week looks like.
Step 4 of 4
Where we look for tutors
Localities of Pune where learners ask for a home tutor
The city runs from the peths in the middle out to IT corridors at both ends, and travel time decides much of how home tuition works.
Two municipal corporations govern this urban area, Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad, and the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park at Hinjawadi sits outside both, under the metropolitan authority. Where a tutor lives matters here, because an evening lesson in Kharadi is a different journey from one in Warje. Edutara looks for a tutor near the learner, and online lessons cover the rest.
Kothrud
A dense, largely Marathi-speaking suburb west of the river, with long-established state-board schools along Paud Road and the western end of the metro's Aqua Line at Vanaz.
KothrudKarve NagarErandwaneWarjeBavdhanKothrud Depot- Vanaz is the western terminus of the Pune Metro Aqua Line
Shivajinagar
The old centre, where the peths hold Marathi-medium schools that have taught for generations and the coaching quarter along Tilak Road fills up every evening.

Camp
Pune Cantonment, run by its own board, where several of the city's oldest English-medium schools follow ICSE and ISC and the streets still keep their army grid.

What Pune learners ask a home tutor for
School subjects on three boards, the state and national entrance exams, and language work for college students and working adults.
Subjects
Paths Pune learners ask for most
Five ways a home tutor is used here, from the SSC board year to spoken English for someone already at work.
Class 10, the SSC year
The SSC written papers run from 1 to 11 March 2027, with practical and oral work from late January, so a Class 10 year in Pune is planned backwards from those dates.
What the learner gets:
Algebra and geometry handled as the two separate papers the SSC sets
Board-style question practice on the portion the school has covered
Revision that begins before the January oral and practical window
Suits:
Class 10 students on the Maharashtra state board
Class 12 with MHT CET
HSC written papers begin on 8 February 2027 and the state CET follows in the spring, over the same physics, chemistry, maths and biology ground. One tutor can hold both lines.
Class 11 and 12
What the learner gets:
Written board answers and CET options practised on one timetable
Numericals worked slowly until the method belongs to the learner
Suits:
Science students in Class 11 and 12
JEE alongside HSC
Many Pune students prepare for JEE Main and MHT CET across the same two years. A home tutor works on the topics a large coaching batch had to leave behind, at the learner's own pace.
What the learner gets:
One topic at a time, until it holds under time pressure
Paper review built on the learner's own mistakes
Suits:
Class 11 and 12 students aiming at engineering
NEET-UG for the PCB student
Biology, chemistry and physics for the medical line, taught beside the HSC portion so that the two syllabi feed each other through the same two years of evenings.
What the learner gets:
Biology diagrams and terms drilled the way NEET asks for them
HSC practical work kept in step with entrance preparation
Suits:
Class 11 and 12 students in the biology stream
Spoken English for working adults
The offices at Hinjawadi, Kharadi and Magarpatta draw people from across India, and many of them want to speak English with more ease at work. Lessons are built around that.
What the learner gets:
Practice drawn from the learner's own meetings and calls
Early morning and late evening slots that fit office hours
Suits:
Working adultsCollege students preparing for interviews
Lessons shaped around the learner in Pune
Not sure which subject page fits? Describe the learner in a few lines, and we look for a tutor who teaches exactly that.
The first lesson is a trial
The learner carries on only if it works for them.
At home or online
Days and timings are agreed between the learner and the tutor.
A fee set by Edutara
Priced for the class, the subject and the city, shared at enrolment and paid to Edutara by invoice.
Why Choose Us
How every Edutara match works
A few decisions hold for every learner and tutor we bring together, in Pune and in every other city.
The first lesson is a trial
The learner sits through a full lesson with the tutor before anything is settled. When the tutor's hours stop fitting the learner's week, or the learner asks for a different teacher, Edutara lines up the next tutor and the change costs nothing.
A tutor who can reach you
Distance in Pune is measured in minutes at a signal. We look for someone who can make the journey to your locality at the hour you want, week after week through the year.
Tutors pay nothing
No joining fee and nothing charged for a lead, and Edutara pays the tutor for every lesson. That decision is permanent, so a tutor arrives at your door with nothing to collect.
Who the tutors are
College students, graduates, retired teachers, and people who teach outside the school system. Section 28 of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 puts private tuition out of bounds for a serving school teacher.
Home or online, your choice
Lessons at your dining table, or on a screen when the city between you and the tutor is the difficulty. Learners move between the two as terms and timings change.
What learners in Pune want to know
Boards, exam dates, fees, travel and what happens after the trial lesson.
Kothrud, Baner and Kharadi are all part of the search. Tell us the locality, the class and the subject, and we find someone who teaches exactly that and can reach you at the hour you want. Where the travel is the problem, the same subject can be taught online.
Yes. Pune has a large number of Marathi-medium and semi-English schools, where maths and science are taught in English while the other subjects stay in Marathi. Say which of the two your school follows, and the request goes out for a tutor comfortable teaching in that language. Terms in physics and mathematics are usually kept in English, because the board paper prints them that way.
The board announced the window in a press note on 17 September 2026. HSC written papers run from 8 February to 16 March 2027, with practical, oral, grade and internal assessment from 20 January to 6 February. SSC written papers run from 1 to 11 March 2027, with the practical and oral work from 28 January to 13 February. The subject-by-subject timetable is released separately by the board on its own site.
Often, yes, because the ground is the same. MHT CET is conducted by the State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra, for engineering and pharmacy admission, on physics and chemistry with either mathematics or biology. What differs is the shape of the question: the board wants written steps, the CET wants the correct option quickly. A tutor who knows both can keep them on one timetable.
Pune's two ends make the difference: an evening lesson in Kharadi is a different journey from one in Warje, and the fee Edutara sets reflects that along with the class, the subject and the hours in the learner's week. You hear the amount at enrolment, before anything begins, and pay Edutara on one invoice; Edutara pays the tutor.
Online works well for older learners and for subjects that live on a page: mathematics, accountancy, spoken English, and much of the theory in physics and chemistry. Younger children usually settle better with someone in the room. If the right tutor lives on the far side of the Hinjawadi traffic, you can ask for online lessons on weekdays and a longer lesson at home on the weekend.
Yes. Pune has a long ICSE and ISC tradition in the cantonment schools, so there are plenty of people here who studied on that syllabus themselves. Say the class, the subjects, and whether it is ICSE up to Class 10 or ISC in Classes 11 and 12, because the paper pattern and the weight given to internal assessment differ between the two.
No. Under Section 28 of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, someone employed as a teacher in a school cannot take private tuition at all. The search runs instead through college students, working graduates, retired teachers and people who teach outside the school system. With the number of colleges in and around Pune, that is a wide group here.
Tell us, and Edutara replaces the tutor free, using everything you have learned about what the learner actually needs. A match between two people can always be changed. Lessons already taught stay on your invoice as they were, and Edutara pays the first tutor for them.

A guide for Pune learners
Home tuition in Pune: boards, dates and distances
Three systems sit side by side in this city. The Maharashtra state board teaches from Balbharati textbooks and examines at Class 10 as the SSC and at Class 12 as the HSC. CBSE schools have multiplied in the newer townships around Baner, Wakad, Kharadi and Undri, where many students arrive from other states and want a syllabus that travels with them. ICSE and ISC are older here than in most Indian cities, carried by the cantonment schools around Camp, among them the schools of The Bishop's Education Society.
Medium of instruction matters as much as the board. Many state-board schools run a semi-English stream, where mathematics and science are taught in English and the remaining subjects in Marathi, so a tutor has to move between the two inside one hour. A new Class 6 curriculum framed under the National Education Policy, with textbooks prepared by Balbharati, is being introduced in Maharashtra from the June 2026 academic year, and middle-school learners are the first to feel that change.
- SSC mathematics is set as two papers, Algebra and Geometry
- Semi-English means maths and science in English, other subjects in Marathi
- Balbharati prepares the state board's textbooks
- CBSE and ICSE schools keep their own internal assessment calendars
Secondary and higher secondary schools in Pune district opened the 2026-27 year on 15 June 2026. The first term runs to the end of October. The Diwali holiday falls from 2 to 14 November 2026, with schools reopening on 16 November, and the second term runs from there to the beginning of May. Summer vacation is set from 3 May to 14 June 2027.
That calendar decides when a home tutor is most useful. The weeks before Diwali are when a year's backlog becomes visible in the first-term marks, and the Diwali break itself is the longest clear stretch for repair work before the board season. From January the school turns to practicals, orals and preliminary papers, and tuition hours shift towards past papers and writing against a clock.
- First term: 15 June to the end of October 2026
- Diwali holiday: 2 to 14 November 2026, schools reopen on 16 November
- Summer vacation: 3 May to 14 June 2027
The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education issued its press note on 17 September 2026. HSC written examinations run from 8 February to 16 March 2027. SSC written examinations run from 1 to 11 March 2027. The practical, oral, grade and internal assessment work comes earlier: 20 January to 6 February for Class 12, and 28 January to 13 February for Class 10.
What has been announced is the window. The subject-by-subject timetable, the one candidates actually plan around, is published separately on the board's site, and in recent years it has followed some weeks after the press note. Pune is one of the board's nine divisional boards, alongside Mumbai, Nagpur, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Kolhapur, Amravati, Nashik, Latur and Konkan, and the divisional office sits in Shivajinagar. According to the SSC result declared in May 2026, the Pune division recorded 94.24 per cent against 92.09 per cent for the state as a whole.
- HSC written papers: 8 February to 16 March 2027
- SSC written papers: 1 to 11 March 2027
- The day-by-day subject timetable is published separately by the board
A Pune science student usually keeps two exams in view at once. MHT CET, conducted by the State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra, is the route to engineering and pharmacy seats in the state, and it is set on physics and chemistry with either mathematics or biology. For the 2026-27 admission year the CET Cell held it in two sessions, with the PCM group from 11 to 20 April 2026 and the PCB group from 21 to 26 April, followed by a second session in May. Dates for the next cycle are announced by the CET Cell on its own site.
JEE Main and JEE Advanced, NEET-UG and CUET-UG are national examinations, and the National Testing Agency announces those schedules separately. A home tutor earns his hour here on the topics where a coaching batch has moved on and the learner has not, and on the slow work of turning a syllabus somebody half knows into answers written under a clock.
- MHT CET is conducted by the State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra
- The CET is taken on physics and chemistry with either maths or biology
- NTA announces the dates for JEE Main, NEET-UG and CUET-UG
Pune has been called the Oxford of the East for a long time, and the nickname is really a statement about supply. According to the university's own account, Savitribai Phule Pune University has about 612 affiliated colleges and 307 recognised research institutes, its jurisdiction covers the Pune, Ahmednagar and Nashik districts, and its campus stands at Ganeshkhind in the north-west of the city. COEP Technological University and Fergusson College sit inside the city itself.
That is where tutors come from here: postgraduate students, working graduates, retired schoolteachers, and people who teach outside the school system. The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, Section 28 keeps serving school teachers out of private tuition, and Edutara follows it. A tutor pays nothing at any stage to be matched with a learner.
- Tutors pay no joining fee, and Edutara pays them per lesson
- A teacher employed in a school may not take private tuition
- College students, graduates and retired teachers make up the pool
Pune Metro runs two lines today. The Purple Line joins PCMC Bhavan in the north to Swargate in the old city, and the Aqua Line crosses it from Vanaz in Kothrud to Ramwadi in the east, with an interchange at the District Court station. A third line towards Hinjawadi is under construction, so learners in the Infotech Park belt still plan their evenings around road traffic.
Administration matters for practical reasons too. The Pune Municipal Corporation and the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation are separate bodies, the Pune Cantonment Board runs Camp, and 23 villages were notified into the Pune Municipal Corporation in 2021, which is why some neighbourhoods now have new housing and school buses on roads that were village lanes a few years ago. Travel time is the real constraint on an evening lesson, so it is worth naming your locality plainly when you ask.
- Purple Line: PCMC Bhavan to Swargate
- Aqua Line: Vanaz to Ramwadi, with the interchange at District Court
- A metro line towards Hinjawadi is still under construction
Home tuition in other cities
Edutara works the same way wherever the learner is.
Ask for a home tutor in Pune
Say which class, which board, which subjects are slipping, and where in Pune you live. We look from there.
What to expect
- The first lesson is a trial
- At home in Pune or online
- Billed monthly by Edutara
Begin with one trial lesson and continue only if the tutor suits the learner. After that, a single Edutara invoice covers the lessons.
