The idiom "at home in":
- To be at home in a subject means to be comfortable and confident with it, to know it well.
- The idiom is fixed and takes no article: "at home in", never "at the home in".
Example: Ravi is quite at home in computer programming.
(A) Even after — Correct.
- It introduces the contrast: in spite of the tuitions, she is still weak in Maths.
(B) taking tuitions — Correct.
- It is the usual Indian English phrase for private coaching.
(C) my daughter — Correct.
(D) is not at the home — Incorrect.
- The article must go: "is not at home".
- Correct form: Even after taking tuitions, my daughter is not at home in Maths.
(E) in Maths — Correct.
- "In" is the preposition the idiom needs.
