Teach on the side of the city you live on
Crossing from Alambagh to Gomti Nagar at seven in the evening eats an hour each way. Keeping your classes inside one or two areas is the difference between two classes a week and five.

What is a tutor job in Lucknow?
A tutor job in Lucknow means teaching one learner at a time, at that learner's home or online, in a subject you already know well. Three school systems sit within a few kilometres of each other here, so a job is described by board before anything else. A UP Board learner of Class 9 near Aminabad studying in Hindi medium, a CBSE learner of Class 12 in Gomti Nagar working towards an entrance exam, and an ICSE learner whose school marks long descriptive answers are three different pieces of work. You take the one that matches what you can actually teach, and keep a fixed hour every week.
- One learner at a time, at their home in Lucknow or online from wherever you sit.
- The board decides the work: UP Board, CBSE and ICSE ask for very different answers.
- Hindi medium teaching is regular work here, so explaining a chapter in Hindi carries weight.
- College students, graduates, postgraduates and retired teachers all tutor in this city.
- Your rate for each class is on the offer before you begin, and Edutara pays it.

Requirements
What you need before your first class
Applying is free and the form is short. What the work asks for is a subject you can hold steadily and an hour you can keep every week.
Who can apply
- -College and university students in Lucknow, including those in their first year.
- -Graduates and postgraduates, whether or not you have taught anyone before.

- -Anyone preparing for UPPSC, UGC NET or a banking examination who wants to keep the subject sharp.
What you should know
- -The board you are taking on, because a UP Board answer and a CBSE answer are rewarded differently.
- -The syllabus of the class in front of you, and anything that changed for this session.
- -How to explain the same step in Hindi and in English, since learners here move between the two mid-sentence.
How you work with a learner
- -A fixed day and time each week, and a message to the learner on the day you cannot come.
- -Patience with a learner who is behind, and a clear idea of where the next month goes.
- -A first class spent learning where the learner stands, so they can decide honestly whether to continue.
Getting to the class

Why Join Us
What teaching in Lucknow gives you
The city is wide, the school systems are mixed and the evenings are long. All three work in favour of someone who teaches one learner at a time.
- Teach on the side of the city you live on
- Evening hours that fit a college timetable
- Teach the board you sat yourself
- Hindi medium work is regular work
- Every class offer names its rate
- Teaching sharpens your own preparation
- Online reaches what the road does not
Evening hours that fit a college timetable
Home tuition in Lucknow mostly sits between the end of school and dinner, which leaves your own lectures, practicals and library hours alone.
Teach the board you sat yourself
Someone who wrote the UP Board Hindi paper, or an ISC physics paper, knows what an examiner rewards in it. That is the part a learner cannot pick up from a guidebook.
Hindi medium work is regular work
A good part of this city studies in Hindi medium, so being able to explain a science chapter in Hindi puts you within reach of learners an English-only tutor cannot serve.
Every class offer names its rate
You see the rate before the first class and accept only what suits you, and Edutara pays you that rate for each class you teach.
Teaching sharpens your own preparation
Saying a derivation or a polity chapter out loud every week is the cleanest revision there is, and it shows when you sit your own examination.
Online reaches what the road does not
A learner past Matiyari on Deva Road or out beyond Telibagh is a long ride from most parts of the city. An online class removes the journey for both of you.

Apply Now8 questions answered
Can I tutor while I am still studying in a college in Lucknow?
Yes. Students from the University of Lucknow, the technical university at Jankipuram, Isabella Thoburn College and the degree colleges around the city take tuition in the evening, after their own classes. A learner cares about two things: that you are sure of the subject, and that you come on the day you said you would. When your own examinations are close, say so at the start and fix fewer classes for those weeks, so your learner can plan around them.
I teach at a school in Lucknow. Can I take tuition after school hours?
No, and the bar is a legal one. Section 28 of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 bars a teacher who is serving in a school from taking private tuition or private teaching work, and it applies whether the school is run by the government, aided by it or entirely private. Retired teachers are welcome to apply. So is anyone who teaches outside the school system, in a degree college, a coaching centre or an institute.
Which boards will I be asked to teach?
Three, and they live side by side here. The UP Board, whose High School and Intermediate papers run through February and March and whose Hindi medium learners are a large part of the city. CBSE, followed by many of the newer schools in the trans-Gomti colonies. ICSE and ISC, which Lucknow has had for well over a century through schools like La Martiniere. Tell us which of the three you can teach, and say honestly if you have only ever studied one of them.
Do I have to travel all over the city?
No. You mark the areas you can reach, and nothing outside them is sent to you. Most tutors keep to one belt: Aliganj with Mahanagar and Nirala Nagar, or Indira Nagar with Munshipulia and Khurram Nagar, or Alambagh with Krishna Nagar and Kanpur Road. The metro's single line helps if your belt sits along it, since it runs from Munshipulia through Badshah Nagar and Hazratganj down to Charbagh, Alambagh and the airport.
How am I paid for a class?
Edutara pays you for every class you teach, and each class offer states its rate before the first class, whether the learner is across the Gomti or on a screen. You accept the offers that suit you. There is nothing to pay to apply either, at any stage.
Can I teach online only, without travelling at all?
Yes. The form has a place to say that you teach online only, and your application is read that way. Online suits people who study far from the belt they want to teach in, and it makes the outer edges of the city workable, past Chinhat on Deva Road or beyond Ashiyana, where an evening visit would cost a tutor two hours of road.
I finished my degree years ago and have never taught anyone. Is that a problem?
It is not. Teaching one learner at a time is closer to explaining something to a younger cousin than to standing in front of a class. What you need is the subject itself, the patience to ask a learner to try the step again, and a plan for the week. Read two or three past papers of the board before your first class, so you know what the examiner is looking for, and start with the chapter the learner is weakest in.
When is the busiest part of a tuition year in Lucknow?
Two stretches. From about November, Class 10 and Class 12 learners begin serious revision for the board papers that start in February, and that is when learners look hardest for a tutor. The second stretch opens with the new session, when a learner has just seen a result and decides to fix the weak subject early, well before the next examination arrives.
