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

People Say The Nicest Things

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

5/5
Jeane Soh

St Margaret’s Secondary School

I like Physics, but find it hard to score well. It’s not so much that I cannot understand the content. It has more to do with not being able to give the answer that my school teacher prefers. Mr Eric has a Master’s in Applied Physics and he knows the syllabus and exam requirements very well. My grades went from C’s to B’s. I am working harder so that I can hopefully get an A for my O Levels.

5/5
Philip Lim

Victoria School Integrated Programme

My closest friends are able to get A, but I have been averaging B’s for Physics. I started JC Physics tuition about 5 months ago, and my tutor taught me how to structure my answers better. I am consistently getting high B’s and more A’s these days.

5/5
Yi Chin Lim

Springfield Secondary School

For 4 months, I went to a tuition centre near my home. I was taught by a total of 5 Physics tuition teachers. I had asked each of them what they themselves scored for their O Levels because I wanted to motivate myself that it is possible to do well in Physics O Levels. But they mostly scored B’s, and one even scored a C for his O Level Physics. My current Physics home tuition teacher scored A’s throughout secondary school and JC. She has a Master’s in Electrical Engineering, and helped my grades go from E to C, and now B.

5/5
Madam Rebecca

Parent

Helen wanted to study Physics by herself. For 5 months, she spent a lot of time memorizing the notes that her school teacher gave to her. And she still had only a borderline pass. Mr Dayton has been a Physics tuition JC teacher for over 15 years. He could immediately tell her why her weak areas were making her lose marks, and what to do about those problems. We could have saved 5 months of pain, if we had hired him earlier.

5/5
Sri Priya Darshini

Nanyang Junior College

The teacher in school was rushing through most chapters, so that we could complete the syllabus in time. My classmates and I could not understand the summaries that he was making, especially for the important chapters. Madam Loh is very patient. We go through all the content step by step until I can apply the information. Then, we move on to other more difficult concepts. The twice a week lessons have been so very helpful.

5/5
Stephen Low

Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) δ IB Programme

I was stuck at scoring 5 for Physics. I would of course be happier with a 6. Getting a 7 would be really great, but my former tutor for Physics tuition in Singapore was better at teaching the MOE syllabus than the IB syllabus. Mr Victor taught me how to “unlearn” the problematic things that my former tutor taught me. It has been easier for me to get 6 now. So I want to try for a 7.

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 junior colleges, universities, or polytechnics.

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

Students with average grades sometimes enroll in less prestigious junior colleges, polytechnics, universities, and courses.

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.

Difficult Exam Questions - Why It's Happening

More and more students are able to correctly answer increasingly harder questions year after year. 

You are likely to have come across questions that were much easier in the Ten Year Series than what students from other top schools are required to answer in their exams in recent months. 

Because so many students are able to answer challenging questions, the creators of exams at schools/SEAB/MOE are forced to include increasingly more difficult questions in order to distinguish between the top and the average students in each cohort.

As a result, when it is your turn to take the exam, the questions will be substantially harder.

In a way, it’s a vicious circle. Parents want to hire qualified Physics tuition teachers to better prepare their children to compete against their peers since everyone is concerned that the exam questions will be more complex when it is their turn to take the exam. The students work harder in class and during tuition, and succeed in getting good grades.

Because the students were so well-prepared and achieve good results for the exams, the exam papers and results are then scrutinized.

After the exam papers and results are analyzed, it is determined that the questions are too simple because the students were so well-prepared and, on the whole, received decent grades as a result of hiring competent home tutors.

This then makes it necessary that the questions for the following year be increasingly harder in order for the exams to be able to distinguish who should get A’s or B’s.

And this makes it much more important for parents to hire effective home tuition teachers in order for their children to catch up sufficiently.

Parents will do all in their power (as loving parents) to give their children that competitive edge because the goal is to do better than the other person rather than just to obtain a specific grade.

Also, it’s not just about keeping up with other children with better grades, but also to make sure their kids don’t feel “stupid’’ or “left out’’ and end up really hating the subject just because others are so good at it.

For many students, the most effective confidence builders are good grades.

Get a Physics tuition teacher who can focus on your child’s areas of weakness.

Encourage your child not to fall behind. It’s is crucial for their future.

You need to perform well on Physics if:

  • You have a passion for Physics. Unfortunately, despite your best efforts, your grades have not really improved, and you struggle to effectively apply what you have learned to the questions
  • Your child frequently complains about the challenging and complex Physics syllabus, and is beginning to (or already) not like Physics 
  • You want to pursue a career in Physics-related fields such as Data Science, Engineering or Medical Research, and need to maintain a strong A grade
  • You require thorough test preparation because you are taking Physics at the upcoming O-Level or A-Level exams

Tuition In Singapore accepts only qualified, patient, and experienced Physics tutors with a track record of improving students’ grades.

We can find the best Physics tutor for you within 12 hours. Just let us know your requirements.

Physics Mastery Is A Valuable Asset

Knowledge itself is a very important asset.

Learning more about Physics will improve both your knowledge – and your grades.

Physics, As Taught In Singapore Schools

Regardless of whether you intend to take Physics at the tertiary level, the MOE has created your course syllabus (and exam questions) to make sure you have a strong foundation in Physics.

Career Opportunities Involving Physics

Career opportunities in Computer Science/Information Technology, Engineering, Architecture and Materials Science are attractive and very lucrative.

Scoring good grades in Physics is therefore useful to you, when you want to broaden your career options.

Score An A For Physics

You can succeed in Physics only if you have a firm grasp of the essential concepts that are the foundation of the exam formats and  marking scheme requirements.

Questions testing these objectives will often begin with one of the following words: define, state, describe, explain or outline.

B Handling, applying and evaluating information

Candidates should be able (in words or by using symbolic, graphical and numerical forms of presentation) to:

  1. locate, select, organise and present information from a variety of sources
  2. handle information, distinguishing the relevant from the extraneous
  3. manipulate numerical and other data and translate information from one form to another
  4. use information to identify patterns, report trends, draw inferences and report conclusions
  5. present reasoned explanations for phenomena, patterns and relationships
  6. make predictions and put forward hypotheses
  7. apply knowledge, including principles, to novel situations
  8. bring together knowledge, principles and concepts from different areas of physics, and apply them in a particular context
  9. evaluate information and hypotheses
  10. demonstrate an awareness of the limitations of physical theories and models.

These assessment objectives cannot be precisely specified in the syllabus content because questions testing such skills may be based on information that is unfamiliar to the candidate. In answering such questions, candidates are required to use principles and concepts that are within the syllabus and apply them in a logical, reasoned or deductive manner to a novel situation. Questions testing these objectives will often begin with one of the following words: predict, suggest, deduce, calculate or determine.

C Experimental skills and investigations

Candidates should be able to:

  1. follow a detailed set or sequence of instructions and use techniques, apparatus and materials safely and effectively
  2. make, record and present observations and measurements with due regard for precision and accuracy
  3. interpret and evaluate observations and experimental data
  4. identify a problem, design and plan investigations
  5. evaluate methods and techniques, and suggest possible improvements.

Get The Best Deals When Hiring A Physics Tuition Teacher

Three easy ways to ensure successful grade improvement:

Reduce Tutoring Requirements

The availability of tutors 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 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 tutors 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 tutors 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 Physics 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 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 tutors 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 Physics tuition teacher
