What is a tutor job in Patna?

A tutor job in Patna means teaching one learner at a time, at the learner's home or online, in the subjects and classes you know well. One evening it might be matric maths for a Bihar Board student in Kankarbagh; on another, Class 12 chemistry for a CBSE student in Patliputra Colony who is aiming at JEE Main. When a learner needs what you teach, Edutara puts the two of you in touch, and the first class is a trial. Which learners you take on, and how far across the city you travel, stays your decision.

  • One learner at a time, at the learner's home in Patna or online
  • Bihar Board, CBSE and ICSE / ISC from Class 1 to 12, plus JEE Main and NEET-UG
  • College students, graduates, retired teachers and coaching teachers can apply
  • The first class is a trial, for you as much as for the learner

What You Get

Why tutor in Patna

Tutoring here fits around a college timetable, a long exam preparation or a retirement. These are the things that make it work well in this city in particular.

  1. Teach in your own stretch of the city

    Patna runs from Danapur to Patna City along the Ganga. Taking learners close to where you live, in Kankarbagh, Boring Road or Danapur, means a short ride to each class.

  2. Classes that fit around your own studies

    If your days go to lectures at Patna University or to a library in Musallahpur Hat, classes after school hours begin once your own day is done.

  3. Keep your own subject sharp

    Teaching matric maths or Inter physics every week keeps the basics fresh, which helps if you are preparing for BPSC, a PG entrance or a government job exam yourself.

  4. Your Hindi and your English both count

    Bihar Board students often study in Hindi medium, and CBSE and ICSE students mostly in English. Being at ease in both lets you teach either.

  5. Learn how each board asks its questions

    A Bihar Board paper and a CBSE paper test the same chapter in different ways. Teaching students of both makes you quicker at spotting what a learner is missing.

  6. Decide at the trial class

    The first class is a trial for you too. If the level, the distance or the timing does not suit you, you can say so before regular classes begin.

How to Apply

How to start tutoring in Patna

Applying takes a few minutes and costs nothing. After that, Edutara does the looking, and you decide at the trial class whether to carry on.

  4. 4

    Meet a learner at a trial class

    When a learner in Patna needs what you teach, Edutara puts the two of you in touch. Your first class together is a trial, and it is where you both decide whether to go on.

  5. 5

    Teach, and be paid by the learner

    If the trial goes well, you settle into regular classes at times that suit you both, and the fees you agreed are paid to you directly by the learner or the family.

Applying is free. There is no joining fee, no deposit and no commission.

FAQ

Questions about tutoring in Patna

What college students, graduates and retired teachers in Patna tend to ask before they apply.

Teachers who currently work at a school cannot apply. Section 28 of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 bars teachers in schools from giving private tuition, and Bihar's Education Department has told district officials to act against government school teachers who take tuition or teach at coaching centres. Retired teachers are welcome, and so are teachers who work outside the school system, at a coaching centre for example.

Yes. A few evenings of tutoring a week fit around a study timetable, and teaching a subject keeps it fresh in your own head. If you are later appointed as a teacher in a school, Section 28 of the RTE Act applies from that day, and you would stop taking private tuition.

You can apply with the qualification you hold today. College students are welcome, and so are graduates in any subject. What Edutara looks for is a thorough grip on the classes and subjects you offer to teach, and the reliability to keep a weekly routine.

Schools in the city mostly follow the Bihar Board, CBSE or CISCE (ICSE and ISC). Regular Bihar Board students must pass the sent-up exam held in their school in November before they can sit the board exam in February. In Class 11 and 12, science students also prepare for NEET-UG and JEE Main, and JEE Main feeds UGEAC, the counselling that fills Bihar's government engineering colleges. NTA's tentative calendar puts the first JEE Main session of 2027 on 22 to 24 and 28 to 30 January.

Yes. Hindi and Urdu are Bihar's official languages, and Hindi is spoken in most Patna homes, alongside Magahi, Bhojpuri and Maithili. A hard idea often lands faster when it is first explained in the language a learner speaks at home, and then put into the words the exam paper uses.

You and the learner, or the learner's family, agree them between you. They usually depend on the class, the subject and whether you travel to the learner's home in Patna or teach online. Edutara takes no commission from your fees and charges tutors nothing.

That depends on where the learner lives and how far you are willing to go. The city stretches from Danapur and Khagaul in the west to Patna City in the east, and crossing it in the evening takes time, so it usually makes sense to keep to learners near you. If you would rather not travel, you can teach online.

Edutara is new and has not yet matched a tutor with a learner in Patna. Applying now puts your subjects and classes on record, so you can be considered as soon as a learner needs what you teach. It costs you nothing, and you decide at the trial class whether to go ahead.
