One place for maths
SparklMind is live 1-on-1 online math tutoring for Class 5–12 (CBSE, ICSE), JEE, and US Grades 5–12 with AP Calculus and SAT Math. The first 45-minute class is free.
How it works, from the first message to the first report card
Four steps, and you can stop after the first one. Nobody is asked for a card until a teacher has already taught your child once.
01
A free 45-minute diagnostic
Not a sales call. A teacher opens the chapter your school is on right now and works through it with your child. By the end they can usually name the exact year the gap started — it is almost always earlier than anyone expected.
No card. No obligation.
02
A written plan you keep
Within two days you get the plan in writing: which chapters need repair, roughly how many weeks that takes, and what the first month of classes covers. It is yours whether you enrol or not.
Yours either way.
03
Classes that fit the week you actually have
Two or three sessions a week, more before an exam, the same teacher every single time, scheduled around school, coaching and practice. Move any class up to four hours before it starts and it goes back into your balance.
Same teacher, every class.
04
Re-cut every fortnight
Every two weeks the teacher re-reads the plan against what actually stuck and changes it. Parents get the same document the teacher works from — not a marketing summary with a green tick on it.
The real report.
Our method
What we do differently inside the hour
Most tutoring is a lecture with a smaller audience. These four things are the difference between watching someone solve a problem and being able to solve it next Tuesday.
Diagnose before teaching anything
A student who cannot factorise is not going to learn integration, whatever the syllabus says. The first sessions map backwards until the ground is solid, and the plan says out loud how long that takes.
The student holds the pen
The teacher watches the working, not the answer, because the mistake is almost never in the last line. Wrong turns get interrupted at the step they happen, which is the only moment the correction actually lands.
Mistakes get filed, not forgotten
Every error goes into a running journal tagged by cause — concept gap, calculation slip, or ran out of time. Those three need completely different fixes, not just “be more careful”.
Revision is scheduled, not remembered
Chapters come back on a spacing schedule rather than when someone panics before an exam. Flashcards and practice sets are generated from the student's own journal, so revision is aimed at their gaps.
Inside the classroom
What actually happens in a class
A shared whiteboard, your child's own worksheet on screen, and a teacher who stops the moment a step doesn't land.
Student works on the board too — this is not a lecture
Desmos and GeoGebra open in the same window
Recording, notes and the board PDF land in the dashboard the same day

Prove: tangents from an external point are equal
OP is common, OA = OB (radii)
∠OAP = ∠OBP = 90° (tangent ⟂ radius)
△OAP ≅ △OBP (RHS) ⟹ PA = PB

An honest comparison
Batch, recorded course, group or 1-on-1?
A coaching batch is cheaper and a recorded course is cheaper still. Here is what each one is actually good at, so you can pick the right one for your child, even if it is not us.

Choose 1-on-1 if…
Your child is behind, or quietly lost in a big class
You want lessons on the chapter school is teaching this week
Board, JEE or AP exams are close and every hour counts
If your child is already near the top of a good batch and self-corrects, a batch is the better spend. We are built for the student who is quietly lost in one and nobody has noticed yet.
What we teach
Built around the board exam, not around a syllabus PDF
Pick the year your child is in. Every track is taught 1-on-1 and re-paced whenever school moves faster or slower.
Foundation Maths
Class 5–7
The years where maths quietly goes wrong. We rebuild number sense before it becomes a Class 9 problem.
Fractions & decimals
Ratio and proportion
Basic mensuration
Pre-Board Algebra
Class 8–9
Polynomials and linear equations taught until the student can explain the step back to you.
Polynomials
Linear equations
Quadratics intro
Geometry & Trigonometry
Class 9–10
Proof writing, circle theorems and heights & distances — the three chapters that decide the board score.

Full board coverage with the marking scheme in front of us — presentation earns marks too.
Three steps, in this order. Being good at maths gets a teacher through the first one and nothing else.
Gate 1 · A timed paper
Sit the paper first
Applicants write a paper from the exam their students will write, such as JEE Advanced maths or the AP Calculus BC free response, under time.
Gate 2 · An observed demo class
Teach a real class, watched
A demo class, watched. We are looking for one thing: do they stop when the student is lost, or keep going because the plan said so?
Gate 3 · Parent feedback
Identity check, then ongoing feedback
An identity check before teaching, then parent feedback and attendance are kept in view. If a teacher is not the right fit, you can ask for another at any time.
Tutoring is hard to judge from outside: without regular reports you find out whether it is working only when the report card arrives.
A fortnightly written report
What was covered, what stuck, what needs another pass, and what changed in the plan because of it. In plain language, with no scores dressed up.
Sit in on any class
Any class, without telling anyone first. It is your child's class and your account — there is no observation request to file.
Every recording, the same day
Class video, the whiteboard as a PDF, and the teacher's notes, all in the dashboard. Useful when a student says the class was fine and the report says otherwise.
A direct line to the teacher
Message the teacher who teaches your child, not a support queue. Replies come from the person who was in the room.
Maths help that fits your budget
Start with a free 45-minute class. Then pick a plan and pay once, with no automatic charges.
Yes. Share the textbook and the school's chapter plan in the first class. Lessons are sequenced to stay slightly ahead of school so class time becomes revision instead of first exposure.
The free first class is a diagnostic. If there are gaps from earlier years, the teacher builds a short repair track and tells you plainly how many weeks it will take before regular chapter work resumes.
Any time, without asking. Parents can also just watch the recording later — every class is recorded and available in the dashboard the same day.
Ask for a different one, once or more than once, and the remaining classes carry over. No conversation needed about why.
A common starting point is three a week, moving to two once the backlog clears, and more in a board year. The diagnostic gives you a number rather than a package, and you can change it monthly without a penalty.
Every class described on this page is one teacher and one student, with no rotating substitutes and no recorded lessons standing in for a live class. If you prefer a small group, we also run cohorts of up to five students, priced separately on the pricing page.
Yes. Share the textbook and the chapter plan in the first class and lessons are sequenced against that specific board's ordering, which often differs from CBSE by a whole term.
The first class is on us
Book the free class. Decide after it.
Forty-five minutes on a real chapter with a real teacher. Students get unstuck; parents get a plain answer on where the gap is. Nobody calls you afterwards unless you ask.
