How one-to-one computer science tuition works

Every session is one tutor, one student and a keyboard.

From our tutors: the most common problem we see is a "copy-run" habit. Students can follow a solved program and type it in, but freeze at a blank editor. So from the first week we ask them to write the logic in plain steps or pseudocode, then code it, then predict the output before running it. Predicting before running does more for written-paper marks than any other habit.

CBSE Computer Science (083) and Informatics Practices (065)

CBSE Computer Science is a two-year Python course: Class 11 builds programming from scratch; Class 12 adds functions, files, a stack, networks and SQL with Python connectivity. Each year is 70 theory and 30 practical marks. Facts are from the 2026–27 curriculum on cbseacademic.nic.in, which allows a student only one of Informatics Practices (065), Computer Science (083) and Information Technology (802).

Where marks slip: number systems, Boolean logic and dictionary programs in Class 11; scope, file modes, binary files with pickle, SQL joins and aggregates, and Python–SQL connectivity in Class 12.

Informatics Practices (065), briefly

The data-focused alternative, also 70 theory and 30 practical. Class 11 covers Python basics, NumPy, SQL with MySQL and emerging trends; Class 12 centres on Pandas DataFrames and Matplotlib charts (25 marks), SQL queries (25), networks (10) and societal impacts (10).

ICSE Computer Applications and ISC Computer Science (Java)

CISCE teaches programming in Java, "objects first", from Class 9 to Class 12. Facts are from the ICSE 2027 Computer Applications (86) and ISC 2027 Computer Science (868) syllabuses on cisce.org (ICSE 2027) and cisce.org (ISC 2027); later exam years should check their own syllabus.

ICSE Computer Applications (Classes 9–10)

• Assessment: a two-hour, 100-mark written paper plus 100 marks of internal assessment from at least 20 programming assignments a year, marked on class design, variable description, coding and documentation, and output.
• Class 9: OOP principles, data types, operators, Scanner input, Math methods, if and switch, loops and nested for loops.
• Class 10: user-defined methods and overloading, constructors, wrapper classes, access specifiers, arrays with bubble and selection sort and linear and binary search, and String methods.

See our ICSE home tutors and Class 10 tuition in Gurgaon pages.

ISC Computer Science (Classes 11–12)

• Assessment: theory 70 marks (3 hours) and practical 30 marks (3 hours) in each year.
• Class 11: number bases, two's complement, logic gates; Java objects, methods, arrays, strings, files and recursion.
• Class 12: Boolean algebra and Karnaugh maps, adders and multiplexers; inheritance and interfaces; stacks, queues, linked lists and binary trees; Big O.
• Practical: choose one of three problems; 90 minutes to plan an algorithm and a handwritten Java program, then 90 minutes to key it in and run it on seen and unseen inputs (15 marks). The year's work file gives the other 15: in Class 11, at least 20 assignments and one project; in Class 12, at least 25 assignments.

See our ISC home tutors for Class 11–12 page.

From our tutors: in the ISC practical, students who have only ever typed code straight into BlueJ often struggle, because the planning session wants an algorithm and handwritten code first. From Class 11 we rehearse the routine: algorithm, Java by hand, a dry run, then the keyboard.

Cambridge IGCSE (0478) and IB DP Computer Science

Cambridge IGCSE Computer Science (0478)

From the syllabus for 2026, 2027 and 2028 on cambridgeinternational.org:

• Paper 1, Computer Systems (1 hour 45 minutes, 75 marks, 50%): data representation, data transmission, hardware, software, the internet, and automated and emerging technologies.
• Paper 2, Algorithms, Programming and Logic (1 hour 45 minutes, 75 marks, 50%): algorithm design, programming, databases and Boolean logic.
• Coding answers in Paper 2 must be in pseudocode, except the final 15-mark scenario question, which may use pseudocode, Python, Visual Basic or Java. There is no coursework, but the questions "require candidates to have practical programming experience".

A tutor teaches real programming and exam-style pseudocode together. See our IGCSE home tutors in Gurgaon page.

IB DP Computer Science (first assessment 2027)

The IB's new course has its first exams in 2027. From the IB's official subject brief (ibo.org): Theme A covers computer fundamentals, networks, databases and machine learning; Theme B covers computational thinking, programming, object-oriented programming and, at HL only, abstract data types. It can be studied in Python or Java, with 150 recommended teaching hours at SL and 240 at HL.

See our IB home tutors in Gurgaon page.

Classes 6–10: building the foundations

Below Class 11, "computers" depends on the school. CBSE's 2026–27 curriculum asks schools to build Computational Thinking and Artificial Intelligence into Classes 3 to 8 through existing subjects, and lists optional Class 9–10 subjects including Computer Applications (165), Information Technology (402) and Artificial Intelligence, each 50 theory and 50 practical marks. ICSE students start Java in Class 9; IGCSE students usually start 0478 in Class 9.

For younger students, our tutors build problem-solving in steps, then a first language, usually Python (or Java for ICSE). Choosing Class 11 subjects? Read which stream to choose after Class 10.

Programming practice: how a tutor builds coding skill

One-to-one, the tutor watches your child code, catches mistakes as they happen and asks "why?" until the logic is clear.

• Logic before syntax: steps or pseudocode first, which the ISC planning session and IGCSE Paper 2 test directly.
• Dry runs and trace tables: examined on every board, and the fastest way to find a bug.
• Graded sets: for each topic, one syllabus program, one variation and one unseen problem.
• Edge cases: testing empty lists, zero and negative inputs, because examiners use unseen inputs.
• Code quality: names, comments and variable descriptions, which carry marks in CBSE lab tests and CISCE internal assessment.

Two worked Python examples

Both were run in Python 3.12 to confirm the output shown.

1. Armstrong numbers (CBSE Class 11 practical list; also an ICSE loop program)

An Armstrong number equals the sum of its digits, each raised to the power of the number of digits: 153 = 1³ + 5³ + 3³.

def is_armstrong(n):
    digits = str(n)
    power = len(digits)
    total = 0
    for d in digits:
        total += int(d) ** power
    return total == n

print([n for n in range(1, 1000) if is_armstrong(n)])

Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 153, 370, 371, 407]

Common error: writing ** 3 instead of ** power. It works for 153 but misses 1634, which needs the power 4 (1⁴ + 6⁴ + 3⁴ + 4⁴ = 1634). Testing a four-digit input catches it.

2. A stack using a list (CBSE Class 12; stacks are also in ISC Class 12)

def push(stack, item):
    stack.append(item)

def pop(stack):
    if not stack:              # check for underflow first
        return "Underflow"
    return stack.pop()

books = []
push(books, "Physics")
push(books, "Chemistry")
push(books, "Maths")
print(pop(books))
print(books)
print(pop([]))

Output:

Maths
['Physics', 'Chemistry']
Underflow

Common error: leaving out the empty-stack check, so popping an empty list crashes with an IndexError instead of reporting underflow.

Projects, practical files and practical exams

Practical work is 30% of the marks in CBSE and ISC Computer Science and half in ICSE Computer Applications.

CBSE says the Class 12 project should solve a real-world problem, start at least six months before the deadline, and avoid plagiarism. Our rule: the student writes the code. Tutors explain and review, but never write a project, practical file or IB internal assessment for a student.

Frequently asked questions

Do you provide a computer science home tutor near me in Gurgaon, or only online?

Both. Our tutors visit homes across Gurgaon and also teach live online classes one-to-one.

Which language will my child learn?

The one the board examines: Python for CBSE, Java for ICSE and ISC, Python or Java for IB, and pseudocode plus Python, Visual Basic or Java for IGCSE.

Computer Science or Informatics Practices in CBSE Class 11?

Computer Science goes deeper into programming, files, data structures and networks; Informatics Practices focuses on data with Pandas, charts and SQL. CBSE allows only one of the two (or Information Technology).

Will the tutor do my child's project or practical file?

No. The tutor explains and reviews, but the student writes the code. The boards require it, and it is the only way to handle the viva.
