Class 1 to 5
One teacher across all subjects, building the basics.
₹6,000/month, in person
The same child taught online in a group class is ₹3,000 a month. The difference is travel and undivided attention.

Home tuition in Bengaluru for Class 1 to 5
Home tuition in Bengaluru is the one part of Scholur that is not online. A teacher comes to you, teaches a group of one to three children face to face, and works from whatever your child’s school is covering that week. It is limited to Class 1 to 5, and to parts of South and East Bengaluru, because one person can only be in one place at a time.
For a six or seven year old who cannot yet sit still in front of a screen, that matters. Younger children need someone at the table who can see the page, turn it round, and put a finger on the word they skipped. Everything else we teach - Class 6 to 10, every subject, every board - is taught online, and taught well.
Bengaluru also has a specific problem that makes evening tuition harder than it sounds. The city is the third slowest in the world to drive across, at an average of 34 minutes to cover 10 km in the centre. Sending a Class 3 child out for a second commute after school is a real cost. Either the teacher travels, or the class does not.

In the room
What an hour actually looks like
Start with the school book
Not a parallel syllabus. Whatever came home that week is what we open first, so the child sees the connection immediately.
Read aloud, every time
In a group of three, every child reads out loud in every session. That is the whole reason to keep the group this small.
Two minutes with you at the end
What went well, what did not, and one specific thing to practise before the next class. Face to face, not a monthly form.
Before you enquire
Where in-person is the wrong answer
We would rather turn down a booking than take one that will not work. In these cases online is genuinely the better choice, and cheaper:
- Class 6 and above. Subject specialists matter more than proximity by then, and the right Science teacher is unlikely to live nearby.
- You are outside the areas listed. A teacher stuck in Bengaluru traffic arrives late, tired, and eventually stops coming.
- You want a specific weekly slot in the evening peak. Travel makes that fragile. Online holds a fixed time far more reliably.
- Budget is tight. A small online batch costs substantially less and, for most children past Class 3, works just as well.
Every teacher who visits
- Taught the class and board your child is in
- Interviewed and observed teaching a live class before joining
- Teaches the same batch every week - never a rota of strangers
- Reachable by parents on WhatsApp between classes
14+ years of classroom teaching sits behind the matching. You meet whoever will teach your child in the assessment, before anything is paid.
What it costs
In-person fees, by your child’s class
Home tuition is the dearest thing we offer, and it should be: it is one teacher, in your house, for one child or a very small group, with travel time nobody else is paying for. The fee moves with the class because a Class 9 board year is not a Class 2 year.
Class 6 to 8
Separate maths and science streams, taught by specialists.
₹7,500/month, in person
The same child taught online in a group class is ₹4,000 a month. The difference is travel and undivided attention.
Class 9 and 10
Board-exam teaching, with past papers and marking schemes.
₹9,000/month, in person
The same child taught online in a group class is ₹5,000 a month. The difference is travel and undivided attention.
Per child, per month, with nothing added later. Every plan and price is published here - including the online options, which most families outside Bengaluru take instead.
Honestly
In person, or online? A straight answer
In-person costs more and we have very few seats, so it is worth being blunt about when it is genuinely the better choice and when it is simply the more expensive one.
In person is worth it when…
- Your child is in Class 1 to 3 and still learning to hold attention for a full lesson. A person in the room is simply harder to tune out than a screen.
- Writing is the problem - letter formation, working shown in maths, presentation in an answer sheet. These are hard to correct over video.
- There is no quiet corner at home for an online class, or the household internet drops during the hour classes run.
- Your child has been assessed as needing more hands-on support than a screen allows, and you already know that from school.
Online is the better buy when…
- Your child is Class 6 and above. By then the work is the work, and a specialist who has taught that exact board matters far more than which room they are sitting in.
- You need a subject specialist. We can match a Class 10 Chemistry teacher anywhere in India; we cannot always find one who will drive to your street.
- Timing is tight. No travel means a class can start at 7pm on a weekday without anyone leaving early.
- You would rather put the difference towards more classes a month than towards a teacher's commute.
If you are not sure, say so in the free assessment and the teacher will tell you which they would pick for your child. It is a short conversation and we would rather have it than sell you the dearer option by default.

Ask whether there is a seat
Tell us your child’s class and your area. If a teacher can reach you we will arrange a free assessment in person. If not, we will say so and suggest the online option rather than leaving you waiting.
Questions about in-person tuition
Which parts of Bengaluru do you actually cover?
In-person teaching runs out of HSR Layout, so it realistically covers South and East Bengaluru - HSR Layout, Koramangala, BTM, Bellandur, Sarjapur Road, Electronic City and the Whitefield side. If you are further out we will say so rather than promise a teacher who then cancels.
Why only Class 1 to 5 in person?
Because that is what can be taught well face to face by the teachers who travel. Class 6 to 10 needs subject specialists, and matching a Class 9 student to the right Physics or Maths teacher works far better online than by geography. We would rather be honest about that than sell you a nearby teacher who is wrong for the subject.
How many seats are there?
Few. In-person groups are one to three children and a teacher can only be in one place at a time, so this fills quickly and often has no availability at all. If there is no space we will tell you plainly instead of putting you on an indefinite list.
Is in-person better than online for a young child?
Not automatically. For a Class 1 or 2 child who cannot yet sit still on a call, in person genuinely helps. For a child who is comfortable with a screen, online live classes work just as well and cost less. We will tell you which we think suits your child after the assessment, even when that is the cheaper answer.
What does in-person home tuition cost?
Do you follow my child's school syllabus?
Yes. We ask what the school is covering that week and work alongside it rather than running a parallel course. That works for CBSE, ICSE and the Karnataka State board - Bengaluru has all three within a few kilometres of each other, and children move between them more often than people expect.
