Do you tune a classical guitar in standard E?

No, a classical guitar is typically tuned in a specific tuning known as "Spanish tuning" or "standard classical tuning." The tuning, from the lowest to highest string, is E-A-D-G-B-E. This tuning is different from the standard E tuning used in most steel-string acoustic and electric guitars, which is E-A-D-G-B-E.
