Class 8 English Tuition — CBSE (Poorvi)
A full year of English tuition for Class 8 on the CBSE syllabus, following Poorvi — the new NCERT reader that replaced Honeydew — lesson by lesson.

Covers every grammar point Poorvi teaches and every discourse it sets, including the notice, the letter of complaint and the article.
48 daily sessions of 10–15 minutes. Follows: Poorvi — Textbook of English for Grade 8 (NCERT, First Edition May 2025, Reprint 2026-27).
