I have a tutor whom is a female and has a black mother and an Indian father (Indian from India) A term for someone who mixed with black and white is “Mulatto.” A term for someone who is mixed with Black and Asian is “Blasian.” A term for someone who is mixed with Black and Native American is refered as “Zambo.” Is there a name for someone who is mixed black and Indian? I know it’s not accurate but I’m just curious.

Welcome to EL&U. In North America, at least, such terminology is not used in polite company any more; if attention must be drawn to someone's mixed racial background, he or she may be described as multiracial. See e.g. How to refer to people of mixed race? Also see Is the term “halfcast” racist?

Actually, these terms are offensive in most countries, because defining individual people by their racial origins and/or skin colour (or any other racial trait) is inherently racist.
