Your child's teacher. Specialists in English.
One system, from the first chapter to the exam hall.
You always know where your child stands.
Your child takes a test every week, and the results come to you. A weak chapter shows up while there's still time to fix it, not in the exam hall.
Notes that have already produced perfect scores.
NGC's own study material is written by our teachers for the CBSE syllabus and comes with every course. Our two perfect 100s in 2026 revised from these notes.
The board paper feels familiar before they sit it.
A full test series runs in the four to six weeks before the board exams, under exam conditions, so timing and nerves are practised before the real day.
Nothing missed stays missed.
If your child misses a class or wants a topic explained again, we arrange a backup class. We are there for our students at all times, not only in class hours.
Questions about English, Class IX & X.
Which books do Class IX and X English follow?
Class IX uses Beehive and Moments, and Class X uses First Flight and Footprints Without Feet, all from NCERT. When NCERT releases the new Class IX book, we'll update this page.
Does NGC teach the reading and writing sections, or only literature?
NGC teaches all of it: reading, writing and literature. The two unseen passages and the writing tasks carry 30 of the paper's 80 marks, so we practise them directly: the descriptive paragraph, story and diary entry in Class IX, and the formal letter and analytical paragraph in Class X.
What if my child misses a class or doesn't understand a topic?
We arrange a backup class whenever your child needs one, so a missed or difficult topic is covered again before it becomes a gap.
What are the fees?
Fees depend on the subjects your child takes, and they include NGC's study material and the weekly tests. Call or WhatsApp us on +91 98111 07762 for the current fees.
A batch around school. Arranged for each student.
We set each student's timing around their school day. Call or WhatsApp us, and we'll suggest a time that works.
