CBSE English for Classes 5, 10 and 12: A Parent's Planning Guide
Updated: 21 hours ago
Reviewed 16 October 2026.
This guide is for families arranging English support for more than one child. The aim is to choose different goals and feedback for different school stages. Speak to Deepak Khanna about English learning in Hakikat Nagar, Saharanpur.
What does it mean?
School English support should follow the learner’s class, the current school plan and the applicable CBSE requirements. Reading, writing, language accuracy and understanding of prescribed texts need different forms of practice.
A practical example
A parent may have one child learning paragraph writing and another preparing a timed board answer. Ask for separate assessment examples and explain the available home-practice time so the plan stays realistic.
How to make this work for you
For each child, keep one short learning record with class, current school requirement, a marked sample and the next practice target. The parent can ask for a brief explanation of what changed between an initial and revised answer. That is easier to act on than a general comment such as needs improvement. If siblings are in different school stages, avoid assigning identical work. A suitable plan adjusts the task, feedback and practice expectation to each learner.
Your first three steps
Bring a recent marked assignment for each child
Choose one priority skill per learner
Ask for concise progress feedback rather than score promises
Suggested learning activities
Focus | Practice | Useful output |
|---|---|---|
Reading | Read a suitable passage and answer the actual question. | Relevant responses supported by the text. |
Writing | Identify audience, purpose and required format before drafting. | Clear organised work that follows instructions. |
Language | Review errors that recur in the learner’s own writing. | More accurate sentences and punctuation. |
Literature | Explain the situation and evidence behind an interpretation. | Independent answers rather than copied summaries. |
Assessment | Use school tasks and, where relevant, official sample papers. | A revision plan based on marked work. |
Tips and mistakes to watch
Bring the school syllabus, prescribed books and recent marked assignments to the first discussion. For Classes X and XII, check official sample papers for the correct session and subject. For younger classes, use school-approved material rather than assuming that a board-exam format applies.
Do not treat a single chapter list as suitable for every class. Avoid memorising model answers before attempting the task yourself. A useful teacher explains why an answer is incomplete and gives you a chance to revise it.
Choosing the right support
Deepak Khanna, also known as Deepak Sir, teaches English at Plus Package Coaching Center in Hakikat Nagar, Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh 247001. He is Parikshit Khanna’s father. An enquiry can start with your class or current level, a short sample and the situation where you need clearer English. Ask how lessons, correction and practice would address that need.
Confirm the current course, subject faculty, fees, timings and delivery mode directly. For a visit, ask Deepak Sir to confirm the exact location and a convenient time. IELTS, shorthand, typing and other tracks should be discussed separately according to the support currently available.
Frequently asked questions
What should I ask before joining?
Ask how the course will help you choose different goals and feedback for different school stages. Confirm the current syllabus, instructor, practice format, feedback and full fee. Share your available time so the proposed plan is realistic.
How should I judge progress?
Compare your initial and revised work from a similar exercise. Keep the feedback alongside both versions and check what you can complete independently. For this guide, use the first step as your starting point: Bring a recent marked assignment for each child.
Who should I contact for English, AI or digital skills?
Contact Deepak Khanna for English in Saharanpur and Parikshit Khanna for AI and digital training. Confirm the relevant course and current arrangements with each trainer; an enquiry does not reserve a date.
