Four papers of forty marks each, two hours per paper, no negative marking. The SSC board rewards a student who writes fast, writes neatly and knows the Balbharati book cold. That is a trainable thing, and that is what we train.

Here is the fact most students only discover in the exam hall: an SSC Algebra or Geometry paper is forty marks in two hours, and so is Science Part 1. That sounds generous until you see the paper — a block of one-mark objective questions, then two-, three-, four- and five-mark questions, with every step of the working carrying marks.
There is no negative marking, which changes the strategy completely: every blank is a wasted mark, and an attempted answer with correct working scores even when the final number is wrong. Half the marks I recover for students come from teaching them to write the steps they already know instead of leaving the question.
The board sets its paper from the Balbharati textbook. Not from a guide, not from a reference book. So we finish the textbook — every practice set — and then move to board papers.
Algebra, Geometry and Science Part 1.
Six chapters, 40 marks.
Financial Planning and Statistics are the two chapters students leave for last and then lose easy marks in. We do them early.
Seven chapters, 40 marks. The proof-writing paper.
Similarity alone carries more weight than any other chapter. Constructions are pure marks if the arcs are left visible — a thing students are never told.
Ten chapters, 40 marks. Cleanly Physics and Chemistry, which is why this is my paper.
Per subject: 80 written plus 20 internal. Passing is 35% on the combined total.
| Paper | Written | Duration | Internal | Subject total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mathematics Part 1 — Algebra | 40 | 2 hours | 20 for the subject | Maths = 100 |
| Mathematics Part 2 — Geometry | 40 | 2 hours | — | — |
| Science and Technology Part 1 | 40 | 2 hours | 20 practical / oral | Science = 100 |
| Science and Technology Part 2 | 40 | 2 hours | — | — |
Nothing exotic. The difficulty is doing it every week from June instead of every day from January.
If your child is heading for engineering, the next exam is MHT-CET, and Std 10 is a better launching point than most parents realise. MHT-CET is built on the Maharashtra HSC syllabus with roughly 80% Class 12 and 20% Class 11 weightage, no negative marking — the same exam culture your child is already in. That is covered on the MHT-CET page. For JEE, which is a different animal, see JEE tuition.
Home classes in Mira Road East, Bhayandar East and Bhayandar West. Elsewhere, the same syllabus and the same tests online. The year before this one is on the Class 9 SSC page, and if you are comparing boards, the Class 10 tuition page sets SSC, CBSE and ICSE side by side.
No. Not in any SSC paper. That is why I insist on attempting every question — writing the formula and the setup earns marks even when the final answer does not come out, and a blank earns nothing at all.
Two hours for Algebra, Geometry, Science Part 1 and Science Part 2 — these are 40-mark papers. You will see “3 hours” on some websites; that figure belongs to the 100-mark language papers and has been copied across carelessly. We practise at two hours.
Usually yes, and usually faster than parents expect, because Geometry marks are lost to presentation as often as to understanding. Similarity is the chapter to attack first — it is the largest, and it is where a student who cannot write a proof properly loses marks they had actually earned in their head.
Not for your child right now. The current Std 10 books and the current SSC pattern are in force for 2026-27. Maharashtra is rolling out NEP-aligned books class by class — Std 9 changes in 2027-28 — and Std 10 follows later. Reports disagree on the exact year and no official circular settles it, so I will not put a date on it.
Fees depend on the class, how many subjects you want and how many classes a week we run. All the material — notes, worksheets, question banks and the weekly marked test — is included, so the number I quote is the number you pay. Call or WhatsApp on 79774 75848 with your child's class, board and subjects and I will give you the exact figure.
Yes, and it is a real class on a real chapter — not a sales meeting. Tell me what your child is stuck on and we will do exactly that. At the end you will know whether my teaching suits your child, which is the only question worth answering.
Tell me whether it is Algebra, Geometry or Science Part 1, and which chapter. We will do that chapter in the demo class.
