What is a tutor job in Kanpur?

It is one learner and one tutor, in Kanpur, working on the syllabus that learner actually sits. You tell Edutara the classes, subjects and boards you can take, and the side of the city you can reach on a weekday evening, whether that is Kakadeo, Barra, Kidwai Nagar or Jajmau. When a learner there needs exactly that, Edutara introduces the two of you. The first class is a trial, so both sides find out how it goes before anything is settled.

  • One learner at a time, at their home in Kanpur or online from wherever you are sitting.
  • Classes follow UP Board, CBSE or ICSE syllabus, in Hindi medium or English medium, whichever the learner studies in.
  • College students on Kanpur's campuses, graduates, postgraduates and retired teachers can all apply.
  • Applying costs nothing, and Edutara pays you for every class you take.
  • A teacher currently serving in a school cannot take private tuition, under Section 28 of the RTE Act, 2009.

Requirements

What you need before your first class

There is no bar on qualification and none on experience. A Kanpur learner is looking for someone who knows the chapter and turns up on the day promised.

Who can apply

  • -College students at IIT Kanpur, CSJM University, HBTU or any other Kanpur college, studying and teaching in the same week.
  • -Graduates and postgraduates of any subject, including people between jobs or sitting for their own competitive exams.
  • -Retired teachers from schools and colleges who want a few hours of teaching back in the week.
  • -Anyone teaching outside the school system, including coaching class faculty, since Section 28 keeps serving school staff out.

What you should know well

  • -The board in front of you. UP Board, CBSE and ICSE set the same chapter at different depth and with different question styles.
  • -The medium of the class. A great many Kanpur learners study in Hindi and want the explanation in Hindi, with the terms kept in English.
  • -Your own strong subjects. Two taught properly carry further than six taught in a hurry.

How you work with a learner

  • -Fix the days and the hour with the learner and hold to them through the term, including the weeks before board exams.
  • -Say plainly where the learner stands after each school exam, and what the two of you will do about it.
  • -Keep the learner's work, marks and home life to yourself.

For online classes

  • -A phone or laptop with a connection that holds steady for a full class.
  • -A quiet corner and some way to show your working, on the screen or on paper held up to the camera.
  • -Willingness to take a learner from the far side of Kanpur, or from another city, when travelling does not suit either of you.

Application Steps

How to start teaching in Kanpur

Four steps, and the only part that asks anything of your time is the first one.

1

Fill in the application

Name the classes, subjects and boards you can take, the parts of Kanpur you can reach and whether you are open to teaching online. It costs nothing to send.

A few minutes
2

An email comes back with the next steps

Edutara writes to the address you gave and sets out what happens after this, so you are never left wondering where the application has gone.

3

A person goes through what you teach

Someone reads the subjects and classes you are sure of, the medium you teach in and the areas of the city you named, to understand where you would fit.

4

You meet a learner and the first class is a trial

When a learner in Kanpur wants what you teach, Edutara puts the two of you in touch. The first class is a trial, and from there Edutara pays you for the classes you take.

Applying is free, and joining stays free.

FAQ

Questions people ask before applying

Straight answers about applying from Kanpur, about what you are paid, and about what teaching in this city looks like.

Applying

3 questions

Yes. College students are welcome, and a second or third year student often explains the Class 9 chapter better than anybody, having sat it recently. Pick the classes you are sure of, keep the hours clear of your own lectures and practicals, and say which days you can hold through the term.

The law says no while you hold that post. Section 28 of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 keeps a teacher serving in a school away from private tuition of any kind, so Edutara cannot take you on. Once you retire, or if you teach somewhere outside the school system such as a coaching class or a college, the door is open and your years in front of a class count for a lot.

No. What matters is that you know the subject at the level you are offering and can explain it without reading off the page. Many people begin with the classes nearest to what they studied last, a BTech student taking Class 10 maths and science for instance, and move up once they have taught a full term.
