Classes 9 to 12 · Advertised on 29 August 2026

The terms, before anything else

How you are paid: Hourly, for the hours you teach.
Why there is no figure here: No rate is published, because none has been fixed in advance. It is agreed with you at offer and is set by the subject, the level you would teach at, and how your assessment went — none of which is known before the assessment happens. You will have the figure in front of you before you are asked to commit to anything.
Confidentiality: The engagement is under a confidentiality agreement. The document is shared with you in full before anything is signed. Its terms are not summarised here, because a summary of an agreement is not the agreement.
How you are selected: Through the process that already exists rather than a separate one for this role: a subject assessment set at the classes the role covers, which every applicant takes, then a review of your qualification documents by a person, not a form check. There is an interview where the role calls for one.
Where and how it is taught: Online, in person in Kolkata, or both. Ways a class can run: Online; In person; A mix of online and in person; At the student’s home; At a place you teach from; At an institute.
Who you would be engaged by: Tutor.org.in. There is no registered company name, registered address or named grievance officer to give you yet. When there is, it will appear here rather than being left to the paperwork.

What the role covers

Subjects: French
Classes: Classes 9 to 12. Derived from the stages of the seeded programmes that teach this subject, clamped to the hiring range of Classes 6 to 12.
Boards: Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations)
Covering ICSE, ISC.
Examinations you would prepare students for: Class 10 Board Examination, Class 12 Board Examination

What is expected of you

A command of French well past the level of the paper, and the ability to teach it to students taking it as a second language: the prescribed grammar, the guided composition and the comprehension the paper actually sets, rather than conversational fluency. You would teach it across Classes 9 to 12.

Working command of the published specifications you would teach against — CISCE, covering ICSE and ISC — and of how each one assesses this subject, which is where they differ from one another. For CISCE that means the internal share, which is a fifth of the marks in the main ICSE groups and half of them in the Group III subjects, and the fact that ISC papers are set and passed to a higher standard than ICSE ones. Both now have an improvement examination behind them, where the better of the two marks stands.

How you are assessed

Selection turns on the assessment and the document review above. Nothing else is implied: no background check process is in place yet, and we will not suggest one is.

What this advert does not tell you, and why

No figure for the hourly rate, because none has been fixed. It is agreed at offer.
No registered entity, address or grievance officer, because none is on record yet. We would rather leave the line blank than fill it with something plausible.
No count of the people teaching here, no rating, and nobody quoted saying it was wonderful. None of that would be true today.
No promise about how quickly you will hear back. Nobody here has committed to a turnaround, and describing one is how you create one.
No background-check claim. That process is not in place, and a page implying it was would be claiming a check nobody runs.

Published on 29 August 2026. This advert runs until 25 February 2027, when it is either re-confirmed or taken down — a window we set for ourselves so that a stale vacancy cannot sit here, not a deadline imposed on you.
