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

While we try to provide clients and tutors with the closest tutor match possible, we cannot guarantee a satisfying match.

People Say The Nicest Things

Here are some of the many happy students/parents and guardians who have hired IB tuition teachers from the best tutor agency in Singapore

5/5
Ho Penghui

Hwa Chong International School (HCIS)

My brother is in IP and I am in IB. We are both enjoying the syllabus. He is a straight A student, and I want to be sure that I get 7’s for all my subjects. Since he is taking tuition for 3 subjects, I also chose IB tuition teachers for my 3 weakest subjects. I have been able to maintain my 7’s quite well all this time.

5/5
Roy Wang

Anglo-Chinese School (International) Singapore (ACS International)

The way I need to learn Bio is different from the way Express students are expected to handle their answers for the MOE syllabus. I wasn’t able to ask my friends in the MOE secondary schools for advice, so we found an IB tuition teacher to help me at home. She answers my questions clearly, and explains why those approaches will help me gain marks.

5/5
Nabilah Mohd

Madrasah Aljunied Al-Islamiah

I like the way the IB syllabus encourages us to think, and to be creative. Sometimes though, this means it’s harder to score well during exams. My mum found 2 good IB tuition teachers to help me in IB Chemistry tuition and in Literature. I am happy with my 6’s and 7’s.

5/5
David Kuoh

SJI International School (SJII)

My family’s plan is for me to do my university studies in either Boston or New York City, where my brother and sister currently are studying. I sometimes get 5’s, which is not good enough a score for me to get into either of their universities. We found a good Math and Physics tutor. Tuition physics was important for me, because I kept getting many answers wrongly. I am getting mostly 6’s and 7’s recently, so hopefully I will be able to get into those uni’s in Boston or New York City.

5/5
Madam Peh

Parent

Charlotte has always been more interested in the Arts than what is taught in the typical MOE syllabus. IB is a very good fit for her, but she is still weak in 2 subjects. We started IB tuition Singapore for her in Chemistry and Math. We are pleased that now she is getting 5’s.

5/5
Ng Geok Hean

Hwa Chong International School (HCIS)

IB is very different from the typical Express stream syllabus. It took me about 6 months to get used to it, and there were many times I regretted taking my cousins’ advice to do IB. I much prefer the MOE syllabus and exam formats. We hired 3 IB tuition teachers, and my grades are starting to improve. I still regret, but I still have to do well in order to get into a good local uni.

Learn Effective Study Techniques

Our IB tuition teachers are familiar with the most recent MOE syllabus, exam requirements and marking schemes. Each tutoring session is customized to fit your learning preferences, homework objectives, and desired exam grades.

Optimum Tutor Matches

We will present IB tuition teacher profiles to you only when they have a strong track record of helping their students’ grades improve by 10 to 30 marks.

Accurate Matches For IB Tuition

The experienced full-time tuition coordinators who are in charge of your IB tuition assignment hold Bachelor’s degrees from the best local universities and had attended an International Baccalaureate/IB track themselves. They also majored in the same subject that you are seeking IB tuition in.

Tuition In Singapore is therefore able to meticulously look for the qualities that a competent IB tuition teacher must possess, in order for us to consider shortlisting him/her for your IB tutoring assignment.

You can perform better than your competitors after effective IB tuition teachers guide you in the correct exam techniques and study skills

Compete Against Your Classmates/Cohort - And Win

We live in a hyper-competitive world. Even if you don’t want to proactively compete, others do.

And the truth remains that you are in competition against a large number of students from your school and from other schools for the same desired courses and spots at universities.

Demand will always outpace supply for the top (or better) academic institutions, classes, and courses.

Students with average grades sometimes enroll in less prestigious universities and majors.

Being in certain academic tracks often determines one’s career choices and opportunities, which in turn eventually affects the types of lifestyles we are able to lead.

APTITUDE-BASED ADMISSIONS: WHAT SMU LOOKS FOR

At SMU, we are committed to a holistic and aptitude-based admissions approach, where we look for students who have not only been successful academically but who possess qualities that we value. In addition to academic grades, we will look for evidence of these qualities such as aptitude, positive attitude, intellectual curiosity, critical thinking and communication skills, as demonstrated through leadership in co-curricular activities; impactful involvement in community service and volunteer programmes; significant awards and achievements in areas relevant to the course applied for; noteworthy involvement in work/internships relevant to the course applied for; as well as other relevant factors.

We seek to identify students who are different, who may be mavericks in their own ways, with qualities of resilience and innovation, and who will inspire their peers and professors during their SMU years and beyond.


QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

Aptitude and Attitude

  • Do you enjoy doing things that are different and meaningful?
  • What is your motivation in life?
  • How would you challenge yourself to do well in your university life?
  • Are you a self-starter? How have you tried to create meaningful change to your community?
  • How have you contributed to your community to make it a better place?


Intellectual Curiosity and Promise

  • How committed and interested are you in expanding your intellectual boundaries?
  • What excites you intellectually?
  • Do you actively seek opportunities that expand your perspective in creating new knowledge?
  • How open are you to new ideas and people?
  • How often have you challenged your current set of knowledge paradigm?


Communication and interpersonal abilities

  • What kinds of conversations excite you?
  • Do you enjoy asking questions and listening to others actively?
  • Do you enjoy expressing your viewpoints while accepting different perspectives from others?


We aim to put together a cohort of bright undergraduates with diverse interests and talents. We would like every student to benefit from SMU’s education of the whole person through our broad-based curriculum and interactive pedagogy, coupled with depth in one or two areas of study, and complemented by an unparalleled co-curriculum involving our:

  • Core Curriculum
  • Guaranteed Global Exposure and Second Major
  • Community Service
  • Internships”

Get The Best Deals When Hiring An International Baccalaureate IB Tuition Teacher

Three easy ways to ensure successful grade improvement:

Reduce Tutoring Requirements

The availability of IB tuition teachers and their qualifications affect tuition costs. 

The more requirements you have, the harder it is to find a tutor who will respond to your assignment.

The usual specifications include things like gender, a mix of subjects, a budget, a schedule, etc.

You should shortlist the requirements that are most crucial to you.

For instance, if you only want female private tuition teachers, your options are cut in half.

It is also a good idea to hire two different tutors to teach two distinct subjects, even if they themselves scored As in both of the subjects you require tuition for. 

This is because most tuition teachers are really skilled at teaching just one subject.

Major National Exams

Higher hourly fees are often quoted by private tuition teachers who specialize in or have extensive experience teaching students preparing for the high-stakes PSLE, GCE O Levels, and GCE A Levels.

This is because there has to be a lot of work put into exam preparation, material revision, and, if necessary, getting the student to unlearn study habits that have been resulting in poor grades in past years.

Good private tuition teachers typically avoid teaching graduating-year students after the March holidays since they will need to rush and  intensely cram a lot of material within a short period of time in order to appropriately prepare the student.

Parents therefore prefer to choose a dependable private tuition teacher at least a year before the important National Examinations.

Budget

We encourage our clients to be realistic with the tuition budget that they would like to work within.

The hourly private tuition rates are neither regulated nor changed by Tuition In Singapore.

Tutors with proven track records that consistently deliver A grades, tuition teachers with many years of experience, and MOE teachers are already accepting assignments within a certain hourly rate.

These private tuition teachers are unlikely to accept prices lower their existing rates due to the constant high demand for their services and waiting lists.

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 tuition services is our ability to carefully and professionally match you with the perfect IB tuition teacher
