Home Tutor for Shiv Nadar School, Gurgaon Students – One-to-One CBSE and IB Tuition

By the Ajay Vatsyayan Classes Home Tutors Team · Reviewed by Ajay Vatsyayan (founder)

If your child attends Shiv Nadar School in E-Block, DLF Phase 1, they are on one of two paths: CBSE, or the IB Middle Years and Diploma Programmes. Those paths teach overlapping content in very different ways. CBSE works through NCERT textbooks towards board papers in Class 10 and Class 12, while the IB assesses against published criteria and asks for a lot of independent writing. Our one-to-one tutors come to your home in Gurgaon, or teach live online, and plan for whichever path your child is on.

Across 12+ years in Gurugram, families from 50+ local schools have used our home tutors, and families from schools such as Shiv Nadar School, Gurgaon book our tutors as well.

What Shiv Nadar School, Gurgaon's boards mean for tuition

Put simply, a CBSE child needs textbook mastery and exam technique, while an IB child needs concept depth plus the ability to meet assessment criteria. The tutor follows the child's own track at every stage.

Primary classes

Early years are about reading with understanding, number facts, handwriting and the confidence to explain an answer aloud. A tutor can quietly close gaps here, such as place value, times tables or comprehension, long before they start to show up in middle school.

Middle school: CBSE or IB MYP

On the CBSE side, Classes 6–8 follow the NCERT books, which have been rewritten in recent years, so older guides and sample papers may not match. On the IB side, the IB Middle Years Programme judges work against published subject criteria rather than one final paper; in MYP Mathematics, for example, the criteria are knowing and understanding, investigating patterns, communicating, and applying mathematics in real-life contexts. MYP students also complete a personal project in the final year. Tutors help MYP students understand what each criterion is asking and practise extended answers, lab write-ups and investigations.

Classes 9–10: CBSE board year or MYP 4–5

For CBSE, Class 10 ends in a board examination, and Maths is offered as Standard or Basic. The tutor works chapter by chapter from NCERT, then moves to the sample papers published on cbseacademic.nic.in, with competency-based and case-study questions included. For MYP 4–5, the emphasis is on the maths and science needed for the Diploma: algebra fluency, functions, and clear scientific reasoning.

Classes 11–12: CBSE streams or IB DP

CBSE senior students choose PCM, PCB, Commerce or Humanities, and many combine board preparation with JEE or NEET. DP students study six subjects, usually three at Higher Level and three at Standard Level, alongside Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay and CAS, with an Internal Assessment in each subject. DP Maths comes in two courses, Analysis and Approaches and Applications and Interpretation, each at SL or HL, and choosing the right one matters for university plans.

How one-to-one tuition fits around the school year

A good tuition plan bends around the school's calendar rather than competing with it. Here is how our tutors usually set it up:

Start with evidence. The first sessions look at recent tests, marked-up notebooks and IB feedback, so the plan fixes real gaps rather than guesses.
Keep pace with lessons. Each week the tutor previews or reinforces what school is covering, so homework feels familiar rather than new.
Protect deadline weeks. When an MYP criterion task, a CBSE project or a DP IA draft is due, sessions switch to planning and feedback on the student's own draft.
Revise in layers. Before term exams or board papers, the tutor moves from chapter revision to mixed papers under time.
Use breaks wisely. Vacation weeks are for catching up one subject, or getting ahead on the hardest unit of the coming term.
