How hiring works on Mentr
Browse verified profiles for free, compare subjects, fees, and availability, then book a demo. The tutor sees your number and confirms the time. Session fees are arranged directly; Mentr never takes a commission.
Finding a English tutor in Chennai
Chennai families often need an Indian-curriculum English tutor online — CBSE, ICSE, and Tamil Nadu State Board. Start on Mentr’s free parent search, shortlist 3–5 verified profiles, and ask about trial sessions before any monthly package.
Online vs home tuition
Online works well for doubt-clearing and Class 9–12 revision when schedules are tight. Home visits help younger kids and exam-week discipline. Many Chennai families mix both. Pick a mode on each profile — then use Find a Tutor or post a requirement if you need someone this week.
What to check before you hire
For school English, prioritise writing practice and comprehension — not only grammar worksheets. Spoken English goals need a different weekly plan. Also confirm weekly hours, fee for a trial, and how they report progress to parents. If nothing fits, post a requirement — still free for parents, with no agency fee.
Pricing context
English tutors serving Chennai families usually quote ₹400–₹1,200/hr; strong demand for CBSE and State Board maths/science for online sessions. Home visits (where offered) may add travel. Fees stay between you and the tutor — Mentr is ₹0 for parents.
Online and home options
Most Chennai listings emphasise online english sessions that fit your time zone. Where home visits exist, profiles show the mode clearly so you can choose before connecting.
What "verified" means
Verified tutors on Mentr complete identity and credential checks. Look for the Verified badge, a clear bio, subjects/classes taught, and open slots. Book a demo with a time. The tutor sees your number and confirms the slot.

Nanganallur, Chennai1 yrs experienceSpeaks: English, Tamil
Hi, I’m Avandhika, a 18-year-old tutor from Nanganallur, Chennai. I started teaching while I was still in Class 12. Since then I’ve taught around 50 students at home, and many of them went on to score above 85%. I was in school myself not long ago, so I remember what confused me and what finally made it click. I teach Maths, Physics, Chemistry, English, Science, Social Science, Computer Science and Coding. My students are in Classes 1 to 8 and Classes 11 and 12. I don’t like making students memorise answers. In the first class, I ask what you already know and where you get stuck. Then I go through the topic in small steps, give examples, and set a few practice questions. I also ask you to explain it back to me, because that’s how we both find out what you’ve really understood. I teach in English and Tamil, and I switch to Tamil whenever it makes something easier. I’m free 7 days a week, so we can fix a time that works around school and tuition. If you’d like to see how I teach, message me and we’ll set up a trial class.

Tambaram, Chennai2 yrs experienceSpeaks: English, Tamil
About Me Hi! I'm a spoken English tutor with 2+ years of experience teaching students up to Class 12, online and in person. I mostly teach one-to-one, so every class is planned around your child's level, pace, and comfort. Before teaching, I spent almost 3 years as an administrator in a Montessori school, working closely with young children every day. That taught me how kids think, learn, and open up. I also worked for a year as a data analyst, so I track each student's progress with clear goals instead of guesswork. Within the first few classes, I usually understand a child's mindset and adjust my teaching to suit it. Shy students get a gentle, confidence-first approach, and younger learners get fun, activity-based lessons. What we'll work on: Fluent, confident speaking Clear pronunciation Vocabulary for everyday use Real conversation practice, not just textbook learning Why one-to-one? Your child gets my full attention, can make mistakes without fear, and improves faster.

Virugambakkam, Chennai1 yrs experienceSpeaks: English, Tamil
Hi! I’m Shrinivashni, an Engineering graduate with a B.Tech background and professional experience in the engineering and technology field, including working in an MNC environment. Teaching is something I genuinely love and pursue out of passion. I come from a Montessori school background, and this has strongly influenced the way I approach teaching. I believe children learn best when they are actively involved, encouraged to explore, and given the space to understand concepts at their own pace. My teaching is therefore child-centered, interactive, practical, and focused on understanding rather than rote memorization. I teach English, Mathematics, Science, and Social Science for Classes 1–5. I have also studied under the Cambridge curriculum, which has given me a strong foundation in English and Mathematics. I enjoy teaching History, Geography, and Civics through storytelling, narratives, real-life examples, and interesting connections. Along with regular teaching, I also include a 15-minute student support and relaxation session once a week, giving children a comfortable space to take a short break from academics, talk about their learning experience, and stay motivated.
