Families with a child at St. Xavier's High School on West Gandhi Maidan can ask Ajay Vatsyayan Classes for a one-to-one tutor who comes to the house, or for live online classes, anywhere from Class 1 to Class 12. The tutor plans each session from your child's own textbooks, notebooks and school test calendar, so the help follows what is actually being taught that week.
Ajay Vatsyayan Classes is an independent home-tuition service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to St. Xavier's High School, Patna. We work only for the family: our tutors have 5–15 years of teaching experience, and the team includes IIT and NIT graduates.
These details come from the curriculum, admission and about pages on the school's official website:
What this means for tuition is simple but important. A student here meets two different public examinations: the ICSE at the end of Class 10 and the Bihar Board Intermediate at the end of Class 12. The books, the paper pattern and the style of answers change between them, so a tutor has to be comfortable with both and plan for the move from one to the other.
At this stage, one-to-one time goes into fluent reading, neat handwriting, spelling, number sense and the habit of finishing homework without a fight. A home tutor can slow down on a weak spot, such as place value or English comprehension, without holding anyone else back.
Subjects grow heavier: algebra and geometry arrive, the sciences become more detailed, and English grammar and composition start to matter in every paper. The tutor keeps notebooks up to date, explains chapters before school tests, and builds the written-answer habits that ICSE expects later.
ICSE papers ask for precise language and complete working. English is examined as two separate papers, English Language and Literature in English, and most subjects carry internal assessment or project work alongside the written paper. One-to-one sessions help a student keep up with long chapters in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History and Civics and Geography, practise past-paper style questions, and write answers that are complete without being padded.
Class 12 at this school is examined by BSEB. For Science students, the core is Physics, Chemistry and either Mathematics or Biology; for Commerce students, Accountancy, Business Studies and Economics. Apart from the languages, the Intermediate elective subjects use the NCERT textbooks for Classes 11 and 12, and a large objective section of each theory paper is answered on an OMR sheet. Science students can add JEE or NEET preparation with the same tutor or a second one.
Moving from ICSE to Bihar Board is where many students lose time. The textbooks change to NCERT, the question style shifts towards short objective items plus written answers, and some chapters are sequenced differently. We suggest using the weeks straight after the Class 10 exam to bridge the gap: the tutor compares what your child already knows with the Class 11 NCERT chapters, fills the holes, and introduces OMR-style practice early rather than in the final month.
Most families start at one of three points: the beginning of a new session, just before the first unit tests, or when a half-yearly paper shows a gap. Early in the year, sessions lean towards understanding new chapters as they are taught. Before each round of tests, the tutor switches to revision and timed practice. In a board year, the final months are about full papers, OMR practice for Bihar Board students and steady pacing rather than new material. During long holidays, some students pause and others use the time to get ahead; both are fine.
The school sits in our central Patna area. See home tutors in central Patna, around Gandhi Maidan, Fraser Road and Ashok Rajpath, or pick a locality:
Tell us your child's class and subjects at St. Xavier's, and we will set up a free demo of about an hour, at home or online, usually within a day.

Often, yes, especially in Maths and the sciences, where the underlying concepts carry over. We check the tutor's familiarity with the NCERT books and the BSEB paper pattern before Class 11 begins, and change the tutor if a different fit makes more sense.
The demo lasts about an hour and is usually arranged within a day. It is taken by the tutor who would normally go on to teach your child, and fees are explained before the demo, so there are no surprises.
Yes, on request and subject to availability for the subject, class and time slot you need.
Yes. Live online classes are also one-to-one, and some families mix the two, for example home sessions on weekdays and an online session at the weekend.
