Good History Tuition Singapore

Benefits

1. Attentive guidance that is exclusively focused on your academic needs

With a Tuition In Singapore History tutor, you will have personalized History lessons that are purposefully structured so that your grades can improve in time for the major exams to assuredly score an A. Your History tuition teacher has between 2 to over 30 years of History teaching or tutoring experience. This expert will patiently explain each of the areas that you are puzzled about, so that you gain enough clarity in order to be able to link all of the crucial chapters and content. This is vital, because most of the exam questions now require strong application skills. If you are not able to link what you have learned and apply the information to real-life problems, you will lose valuable marks and score only borderline passes.

2. Use up-to-date History resources

To do well in History, you are expected to assimilate and recall a large amount of historical content that is taught across topics that include The Making of the Contemporary World Order, Bi-Polarity and the Cold War, Singapore’s establishment as a trading post under British control in early 1800s, Connecting the Past to the Present: Global and Regional Perspectives, A World Divided by the Cold War, The Cold War and the Modern World, The Cold War and Asia, Superpower relations with China, The Cold War and Southeast Asia, Society and economy, Causes and effects of wars, Dynasties and rulers, Causes and effects of Early Modern wars, Origins, development and impact of industrialization, Emergence and development of democratic states, and The Cold War: superpower tensions and rivalries. Hire a respected tutor who can thoroughly explain all interlinked History content using summary sheets, mind maps and practice exercises, so that you are armed with the correct knowledge and answering techniques before you enter the exam hall.

3. History can be easy to score in

Just as there are students struggling in History, there also are students who manage to score A’s. Some of these A-scoring students might have a natural flair in the Humanities. Most of them are likely to have found excellent History tuition teachers who mentored them to success. We are quite sure that many of the students who scored distinctions at their SEC/O Levels, A Levels and IBDP had hired History tuition teachers from Tuition In Singapore.

4. Optional passion for History

Whether or not you want to develop a genuine interest in History and turn it into a life-long hobby, you need to do well in History exams first. To get that A (or B), you first need to have an academic mentor who has scored an A at their own national exams, majored in History/closely-related History subject, and has a solid track record of helping their students succeed. Tuition In Singapore has 3,300+ home tutors who specialize in teaching only History. We have all the expert resources and resource persons you need in order to score your A (now, you see why you don’t have to aim for a B).

5. Aim for an A for History

Whether you want a career as a journalist, librarian, economist, lawyer, researcher, museum curator, business consultant, or public policy maker, scoring an A for as many subjects as possible is completely necessary. History forms a part of the aggregate score you need to progress toward your career and lifestyle goals. Make sure you score an A.

SINGAPORE’S LEADING PRIVATE TUITION AGENCY

HOW DO I REQUEST FOR A TUTOR?

You can request for a tutor by submitting our online Request Form.

Upon receiving your request, we will Whatsapp you to discuss your child’s academic needs. We will spend the next few hours shortlisting several suitable tutors within our database and network for your consideration.

Our working hours are from 9am to 9pm, seven days a week.

Tuition usually commences within one week after you have selected a tutor.

TRIAL LESSON

The paid trial lessons can be 1.5 hours or 2 hours per session.

CAN I CHANGE THE TUTOR AFTER THE TUITION BEGINS?

You just need to pay for the tuition session(s) that have been conducted. There will not be any extra charges for the change.

AM I ABLE TO VIEW THE TUTOR’S CERTIFICATES BEFORE THE FIRST LESSON?

You can request to see the hardcopies of certificates of your tutor to be presented to you during the first lesson.

The client acknowledges that it is his/her responsibility to verify the suitability, credentials and qualifications of any tutor with whom he/she engages.

HOW MUCH DO I PAY FOR YOUR TUTOR MATCHING SERVICES?

Tuition In Singapore is Singapore’s leading private tuition agency and our matching service is free for students/parents requesting for tutors. This is because our agency commission is charged to the tutor, not to you.

The client will pay to Tuition In Singapore half of the fees payable in the first 4 calendar weeks. This amount is the commission to Tuition In Singapore for matching the tutor to the client, and will be borne by the tutor.

Thereafter, the client will pay the tuition fees directly to the tutor.

If lessons are postponed during the first two weeks, the commission payable to Tuition In Singapore will be based on the tuition session conducted the subsequent week(s).

The tutor shall collect all fees due to the tutor from the parent after the two weeks. Tuition In Singapore will not assist in any recovery of fees.

PAYMENT OF FEES

The client is required to pay tuition fees only for the number of hours of lessons given by the tutor.

If you decide to stop the tuition after the first lesson, you are required to pay for only that lesson.

Please transfer the fee for that lesson to Tuition In Singapore and we will transfer the tutor’s fee to him/her.

Tutors are not authorized at any time to collect the payment on Tuition In Singapore’s behalf.

Tuition fees are to be paid every 4 weeks to the tutor, unless otherwise agreed between the client and the tutor.

PAYMENT MODE

We will provide our bank account information for you to make payment via internet banking or ATM transfer directly to Tuition In Singapore’s bank account.

If the client fails to pay us, Tuition In Singapore reserves the right to terminate the Assignment. This is in fairness to the tutor, who might need to give the available slot to another client if this Assignment does not materialize.

Once the payment is received, it will be acknowledged in the form of a receipt, issued to the payer (Parent/Requestor/Guardian) via Whatsapp, sms, email or other electronic communications medium. We will also provide details of the Tuition Assignment that can include: tutor’s name, hourly fee, date of commencement of tuition, subject(s), level, duration of each lesson and frequency, etc.

FIRST LESSON

Once the client accepts the tutor’s candidacy, the client will not be able to change the schedule of the First Lesson.

Clients are allowed to make changes in the schedule after the First Lesson is over. However, Tuition In Singapore hopes that this is not necessary as the tutor has already reserved that slot of time for you.

If you want to make changes in the schedule, please consult with your tutor to ask if he/she is able to change the schedule or not.

The tutor is to bring his/her identity document, academic transcripts/certificates and relevant documents for the First Lesson for verification purposes.

If the tutor is unable to conduct the First Lesson of a tuition assignment, the tutor must call Tuition In Singapore at least 3 business days before the actual lesson. If the tutor fails to notify Tuition In Singapore of his/her cancellation/postponement, an administrative charge of S$30 will be imposed on him/her.

If the tutor fails to contact Tuition In Singapore with a valid reason to inform us about the tutor’s absence from the lesson, the tutor’s profile at Tuition In Singapore may be blacklisted. This will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

LOCATION OF TUTORING LESSONS

Tutors will conduct lessons at the student’s residence unless otherwise specified and agreed upon by both the client and the tutor.

If the client has a request for the tuition to be conducted at another location (eg a friend’s home), Tuition In Singapore will ask if the tutor is able to accommodate the request.

Tuition In Singapore and the tutor will not be responsible if the given location is occupied or not available for use for the lessons and the officially scheduled timings will still be counted as a paid lesson.

TUTOR REASSIGNMENT OR CANCELLATION OF ASSIGNMENTS

There is no obligation or contract to complete a fixed number of lessons, except for the First Lesson.

If at any time the client is not satisfied with the tutor, the client may request a replacement or termination. However, the client is responsible for paying the fee for the number of lessons given prior to termination.

Tuition In Singapore will discuss separately with the client and the tutor regarding future tuition arrangements, and Tuition In Singapore will change the tutor for the client. There will not be any extra charges for the change and the client needs to pay just for the tuition session(s) that have been conducted.

If the client cancels a tutoring assignment before the tutor completes the agreed number of lessons for the first 4 calendar weeks, Tuition In Singapore assumes full claim to 50% of the tuition fees for the total number of lessons delivered in the month. For example, if the client had requested for 8 lessons per month, but the assignment was cancelled after the 5th session, Tuition In Singapore will be paid pro-rated commission for the 5 lessons conducted.

Tuition In Singapore will not be liable for any payment charges or issues arising from the cancellation of tuition assignments by the client.

If the client terminates the Assignment because the tutor is often late, skips lessons without valid explanations etc, the tutor will bear Tuition In Singapore’s full commission fee.

If the tutor cancels the Assignment after confirming acceptance (that is, the client’s contact information and address have been given to the tutor), the tutor will need to compensate the commission which amounts to 50% of the fees payable (as stated in the confirmation Whatsapp, sms, email or other forms of electronic communications messages) for the first 4 weeks.

If the tutor wishes to cancel a Tuition Assignment before the end of the first 4 calendar weeks, the tutor is to inform both Tuition In Singapore as well as the client at least 3 days before the next lesson date. Tuition In Singapore will recover our legal share of the one-time commission of 50% of the fee for the first 4 calendar weeks from the tutor. Tutors are encouraged to have a long-term commitment as the clients have vested their trust in them.

TERMINATION

The tutor will receive full or pro-rated payment for the number of lessons rendered, provided the tutor has complied with the Terms of this Agreement.

The client has the right to terminate the tuition if the tutor is unable to produce the documents certifying his/her credentials. In such cases, the tutor has to pay Tuition In Singapore the amount of money equivalent to the tuition fee for the day, as commission.

DISCLAIMER

Grades can change your future

Why is getting good History tutors so important?

There is a history of every field and topic, from medicine, to film-making, to the food industry, art.

Understanding and studying history enhances our grasp of the world, shedding light on cultural diversity, social dynamics, and geopolitical complexities. 

It helps us see how past events influence the present and guides us in making informed decisions.

Almost everything surrounding us has its own unique historical development.

History is therefore an important component of the subjects that we study in school.

Many of the students who need History tutoring contact Tuition In Singapore because of disappointments with the scores given to them by their History teacher in school.

Some of them become unmotivated because they feel that they had already put in so much effort but still don’t understand what is required of them.

They start to have low self-esteem, which then leads to lower than acceptable grades.

This vicious cycle will aggravate the poor impression that any student already has of History by the time they reach out to Tuition In Singapore.

History tuition teachers from Tuition In Singapore have strong academic qualifications and familiarity with the latest exam requirements.

They can give you the most technically correct explanation of the sophisticated content in your textbooks.

The lesson plan will be from your vantage point – using examples of what you already know to build on and fortify how you grasp the content from each chapter.

Learning is like going up a spiral staircase: you revisit the same angles, and as long as you are always climbing up, each time you do revisit an angle, you are at a higher level of understanding.

Whether you are already quietly competent – or not yet near anywhere proficient – our History tuition teachers know the syllabus thoroughly and can help you relate to the material.

History tuition teachers from Tuition In Singapore present information in an obvious, simple, clear, sequential, patient, and organized manner, and we have the talent to explain things that meet the needs of students with various learning styles and speeds, capabilities, and interest in History.

We are confident in our knowledge of History, application answering techniques, and how to build memory skills.

These are the reasons why 95% of our History tuition students achieve at least 1 grade improvement in under just 3 months.

Underperforming tutors are excluded from our database.

You are probably reading this page because of a very positive word-of-mouth referral and review from a satisfied parent, student, or MOE/international school teacher.

Their sense of accomplishment comes from having a strong mastery of the content taught by History tuition teachers from Tuition In Singapore.

Make your goal of having an A for your History a reality, starting today.

And just the fact that you’re looking to improve your History grades is an auspicious sign of future success!

What are the challenges faced by History students in Singapore?

Main obstacles

  • The most common challenges students face when studying History include searching for proper data, understanding historical events by time and space, and finding hidden relationships among events
  • The major challenges to historical research revolve around the problems of sources, knowledge, explanation, objectivity, choice of subject, and the specific problems of contemporary history
  • The problem of sources is a serious challenge to the historian in the task of reconstructing the past
  • Studying History is difficult because students perceive it as uninspiring and filled with biased facts, leading to a lack of interest and appreciation
  • Lack of mental flexibility and imagination – to understand History we have to be able to get into the minds of others. We have to suspend our knowledge of present-day situations, so that we are able to imagine what it was like in another time and with different circumstances
  • Also, the society which existed may be totally different to the current culture, values, and types of careers that we are experiencing now
  • Understanding history is hard work. We have to read primary sources on a topic, double check our secondary sources, and read a lot of disparate information that was written by historians who had contradicting views
  • Confusion – many people are incapable of telling the difference between fact, opinion, and propaganda. If we cannot tell the difference we cannot begin to process any new historical information
  • Our memorising skills are put to the test. History is a vast subject that covers many eras and time periods. It is difficult for any person to rote-learn all of the details if we cannot connect to/relate with the information we are trying to memorise. We need to know that each incident is related to another one. By remembering these connections, it will be easier for us to recollect the information
  • Difficulty in memorising massive amount of intricate and dense content
  • Struggling to formulate answers to perplexing application questions involving unfamiliar real-life problems
  • Feeling overwhelmed by cross-topic concepts, and difficulty in understanding why and how they are linked – or if they are even linked
  • Weak understanding of commonly-tested theories, precepts, protocols, and tenets
  • Spent a lot of time on History homework, the creation of notes, and exam preparation – but the results are not satisfactory, and the student is not able to find out what is wrong
  • Inefficient time management strategies when answering tricky exam questions and when preparing for exams
  • Could not grasp vital foundational concepts earlier in the year, therefore feeling thoroughly lost now because all of the content in the packed syllabus is interlinked and cross-referenced
  • Encountering problems in structuring exam answers that are accurate and concise, leading to unnecessary loss of marks
  • Inability to interpret, answer and score maximum marks for History questions
  • The school teacher is moving at a pace that is too fast or too slowly
  • Unable to capture the essence of the core content, and to clarify misconceptions
  • Insufficient time to study History, because time also has to be spent on other subjects that the student is weak in
  • Absence of effective memory retention and recall techniques for new or familiar information
  • Not well-versed with the latest marking scheme
  • Giving off-topic answers while being unable to substantiate using proven History principles

Our private tutors are MOE teachers, and/or have PhD/Master’s Bachelor’s/are experienced undergraduates in the subject(s) they are conducting tuition in. They help students to visualize concepts better, and to increase their proficiency in the rigorous material that they learn in secondary school, or in junior college.

3. Committed and expert tutoring to guide you to your desired grades

Students learn best when they know that a dependable expert is mentoring them. You can now learn at your own pace – instead of having to catch up or wait for your classmates in school – to learn about content that vexes even the most conscientious History student. With one-to-one private tuition, your History tutor will identify the areas that need reinforcement or greater clarity. Gaining marks can now become a reality. Exam after exam.

4. Easy and practical methods of remembering large amount of content for your History exams

Your History tuition teacher has taken the exams you are now taking in your SEC/O Levels/A Levels. They managed to score their A’s because they figured out the best studying, analytical, memorising, and answering techniques that the exam markers would approve of. Tuition In Singapore accepts tutor applications for your assignment only if that tutor had majored in the subject that they are teaching you. This means that their prowess in taking History exams extends to when they took exams across an entire array of modules even at university level. And they will teach you the secrets of how they succeeded so well in their History.

5. Clear and simple explanations of complicated concepts

Ever envied any classmate who is doing better than you? They are not likely to teach you how they did it. But your home tutor from Tuition In Singapore will. Our ability to deliver quality explanations and step-by-step guidelines of answers that are compliant with the latest MOE-SEAB marking scheme secures your fruitful ability to acquire essential knowledge, remember relevant information, and carefully revise for important exams.

6. Get accepted into the coveted university and major. Achieve your academic and career goals

The route to productive preparation for your History exams is now easily accessible.

7. Customized learning programme that targets your learning style and needs

All of us learn differently. When your private tutor personalizes your learning plan according to your strengths, challenges and motivations, the time that you spend learning that difficult topic is optimized. You can also dedicate time to revisit baffling concepts, or move on to discussions on advanced themes with your knowledgeable private tutor.

8. Learn in the convenience of your own home

Weekday and weekend schedules are always hectic, and all of us long for some me-time. Having private tuition at home saves you a lot of time. Your home tutor can give you exclusive focus on the latest academic issues you have just encountered, so that you can complete your homework and projects on time. Once the tuition session is over, you have at least 1.5 hours extra (the time saved from traveling to and from a tuition centre nearby/far away) to rest your mind.

9. Practice

You want to train yourself to answer as many question types as possible. When you are at the bookstore, you flip through the “model answers”. Whether you have advanced mastery or fundamental knowledge of the subject, some of the answers look ambiguous, vague, and possibly disputable. It is much safer to be guided by an acknowledged expert who has multi-year experience in proficiently teaching (real) students from other secondary schools or junior colleges. Many of their current or former students are likely to be at the same competency level as you, and these specialized home tutors have strong track records of steering their students toward higher grades.

Every year, students rely on Tuition In Singapore because we help them, their siblings, and their friends get better grades.
What sets us apart from other tutor services is our ability to carefully and professionally match you with the History tuition teacher who can guide you to obtaining an A.
