Home tutors in Kolkata for CBSE and ICSE — Salt Lake, New Town, and south Kolkata, with 2026 hourly ranges.

Mentr Editorial Team7 min read

Home tuition in Kolkata is still the default for CBSE and ICSE Classes 8–12. Parents searching in 2026 are mostly in Salt Lake, New Town, Ballygunge, and South Kolkata. This guide covers where tutors will travel, what an hour costs, and how to post one subject instead of 'all subjects, Kolkata'.

Where Kolkata home tutors will travel

Salt Lake and New Town tutors stay on the eastern side. They will add a sector nearby and they rarely accept a rush-hour trip to Behala. South Kolkata — Ballygunge, Gariahat, Jadavpur — has the deepest CBSE and ICSE bench. Howrah and the river-crossing should be a separate post. A tutor who writes 'Kolkata' and lives in Salt Lake will not add Behala twice a week.

  • Salt Lake and New Town — Class 9–12 CBSE, evening slots after coaching
  • Ballygunge, Gariahat, Southern Avenue — ICSE and CBSE, home visits still normal
  • Jadavpur and Garia — maths and science for board years
  • Park Street and central Kolkata — fewer home tutors; students often travel
  • Howrah — post it on its own; most Kolkata tutors will not cross
