Where does the study time go?
In Classes 9 and 10 many children leave home early and come back late after school and coaching. Self-study gets pushed into the last hour of the night, when they are too tired to think clearly. What helps most is knowing exactly which topics deserve that hour.
Tuition is fine, and plenty of children need it. But a tutor with eight or ten children in one batch cannot sit with each of them, and cannot always keep track of what the school did that week. Sometimes the tuition follows its own order of chapters, the child ends up juggling two plans for the same subject, and the confusion shows up in the next test.
NoTuition.in gives that small window some shape: the chapter your child is doing in school, a short activity, practice that explains every mistake, and a clear view for you of what needs work.
Practise Class 9 English the way the book teaches it
The free plan opens one full chapter in every subject, so you can see how your child gets on before you pay anything.
