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?

Home Tuition 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 Home Tuition Singapore half of the fees payable in the first 4 calendar weeks. This amount is the commission to Home Tuition 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 Home Tuition 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. Home Tuition 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 Home Tuition Singapore and we will transfer the tutor’s fee to him/her.

Tutors are not authorized at any time to collect the payment on Home Tuition 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 Home Tuition Singapore’s bank account.

If the client fails to pay us, Home Tuition 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, Home Tuition 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 Home Tuition Singapore at least 3 business days before the actual lesson. If the tutor fails to notify Home Tuition Singapore of his/her cancellation/postponement, an administrative charge of S$30 will be imposed on him/her.

If the tutor fails to contact Home Tuition Singapore with a valid reason to inform us about the tutor’s absence from the lesson, the tutor’s profile at Home Tuition 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), Home Tuition Singapore will ask if the tutor is able to accommodate the request.

Home Tuition 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.

Home Tuition Singapore will discuss separately with the client and the tutor regarding future tuition arrangements, and Home Tuition 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, Home Tuition 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, Home Tuition Singapore will be paid pro-rated commission for the 5 lessons conducted.

Home Tuition 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 Home Tuition 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 Home Tuition Singapore as well as the client at least 3 days before the next lesson date. Home Tuition 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 Home Tuition Singapore the amount of money equivalent to the tuition fee for the day, as commission.

DISCLAIMER

Home Tuition Singapore is Singapore’s leading private tuition agency in Singapore. While we try to provide clients and tutors with the closest tutor match possible, we cannot guarantee a satisfying match.

More exposure and practice now = less guesswork and panic during exams

I miss the days when we could just memorize the content and then be able to answer the exam questions. These days, we need to memorize the content and know how to apply the content. So a lot also depends on our writing skills, analytical skills and to a great extent, chance/luck. Mr Cheong taught me step by step how my analytical skills can improve. Now my SS grades are much better and I feel better too.

Among all my subjects, history is the most difficult. I should have chosen geog, but it is too late now. Ms Maithilli is very patient. She taught me memory skills that are very helpful whenever my mind goes blank from having to remember so much from the textbooks.

Andrew has been doing well for his science subjects. English and Literature are challenges because they require different types of thinking skills. Mr Seow used to teach at an MOE school and he taught Andrew how to cope whenever he had problems with the questions.

SS and Geog are quite difficult for me. I had been spending so much time trying to remember all the information and was feeling very discouraged because I need to have time to study my other subjects also. My mum figured that having a tutor to guide me would be helpful. Ms Ho had been teaching for almost 20 years, so she is very familiar with the syllabus and how to answer the exam questions.

The importance of getting trustworthy Humanities tuition

Mastery of Humanities subjects is not something that can be addressed just before an examination. It needs to be acquired over time, with consistent exposure and structured practice

  • Are you and your child satisfied with the results of the recent school assessment?
  • With the removal of mid-year exams, students are not able to identify their weak spots until much later in the year. All students – whether or not they are able to do well under exam conditions – will require appropriate assistance to prepare themselves for the demands of the year-end exams 
  • Parents (and MOE teachers) know that the new syllabus is more advanced and demanding than before. It is possible to easily lose 10 to 20 marks if specific keywords are not used by the student when answering exam questions 
  • Singapore has an ultra competitive culture, and Singaporeans compete with each other for cars, housing, and even hawker centre tables
  • Education in Singapore can be overwhelming and stressful, whether you are striving to maintain an A grade, or want to prevent the risk of having weaker grades
  • Just as hiring the right private tutor can lead you to confidently achieve your grade objectives, engaging the wrong private tutor can bring much misery when the student receives worse than expected grades at the school or national exams
  • We understand that each student has unique goals and aspiration for their future
  • It is therefore vital that we work with them to prevent erratic swings in their grades.
  • Accomplished Humanities tuition teachers from Home Tuition Singapore show students how to handle new components and deepen the knowledge they have acquired earlier in the year
  • You will learn how to handle non-routine or unorthodox problems, as well as how to craft correct, accurate and complete answers which incorporate all the critical elements that picky Humanities markers look out for
  • During each Humanities tuition session, you will acquire the know-how to study smart and score big for examinations
  • Humanities tuition by Home Tuition Singapore covers all the key skills required for each of your exam papers, with regular drills and efficient step-by-step instructions to ensure concrete progress
  • The weight of expectations can sometimes be overwhelming. The difference between what you hope for and the reality of your performance can lead to disheartening moments
  • Without the correct techniques and a firm foundation, the unthinkable might happen
  • Based on our Humanities tuition track record of the past ten years, most students improve by up to 2 to 3 grades for their junior college assessments
  • That sense of accomplishment and accompanying relief makes it all worthwhile
  • Let our highly qualified and experienced Humanities tuition teachers guide you to success
