Choose a private home tutor if you have a specific person you already trust, the commute is fine, and you can sit in on a lesson when you want to.
Honest table
MathyBrain vs a private home tutor
A good local tutor can be the best option in this entire list — if you already have one you trust, who shows up, and who can explain. Many families do not. The market is unregulated, the tutor is often a college student between exams, and there is no record of what happened in the hour. We are not cheaper than that. We are more inspectable.
| a private home tutor | MathyBrain | |
|---|---|---|
| Format | In-person at home or theirs, 1:1 | Online 1:1 |
| Vetting | You do it — neighbours, WhatsApp groups, a trial week | Public profile, qualification, teaching sample, you still choose |
| Price | Often lower per hour in Indian cities, cash, variable | Higher, public, invoiced. See /pricing |
| Diagnosis | Usually ‘start from the current chapter’ | Gap map before lesson 1 |
| Record | Rarely a written parent note or a recording | Session recordings for the parent; a note after every lesson |
| Continuity | Breaks for the tutor’s own exams are common | A named tutor with stated availability; we plan a handoff if needed |
| Where they are better | A trusted person in the room, often cheaper, no screen | When you do not have that person, or you want the work to be visible |
