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?

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

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

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

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

Top Tutors 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.

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

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

DISCLAIMER

MOE Teachers, PhD/Master's, Graduates/Undergraduates

Tuition Agency In Singapore | Primary School Tuition | Secondary School Tuition | Junior College Tuition

The MOE’s new teach less learn more syllabus emphasizes thinking skills – consider this priority carefully, when you hire home tutors

The ability to think is skills-based, and anything that is skills-based requires practice to master.

It also requires individualized feedback from a subject expert, to guide our children on whether they are thinking through the matter correctly.

Students now face exams that are far more difficult than before
A safe strategy would be to hire experienced home tutors with proven track records

Our students have to face challenges like increasingly difficult exam questions

Textbooks contain only a fraction of what students need to know to pass or excel in exams

The Ministry of Education has clearly stated in various press reports that it has empowered schools to produce their own curriculum materials

This has resulted in parents telling us that their children are sometimes given excellent (or not so excellent) material to read beyond their textbooks

This can make it harder for parents to assess if the school is adequately preparing their children for the major national exams

Meanwhile, some students are struggling with difficult exam questions during SAs and CAs

Tuition Agency In Singapore | Primary School Tuition | Secondary School Tuition | Junior College Tuition

Private tutors from the leading tuition agency in Singapore will guide you in:

LATEST MOE SYLLABUS

Students learn at their own pace – this means that at home, you can choose to be studying the same chapters as the ones your school teacher is covering…or you can opt to study ahead, or revise one or two chapters behind your school

CORRECT EXAM SKILLS

Learn how to apply textbook knowledge so that you can confidently navigate unexpectedly difficult exam questions. 

Practice with a patient expert tutor, so that complex concepts are never frustrating again

GRADE IMPROVEMENTS

Over 80% of our students have grade improvements within the first 3 months of tuition

The other 20% achieve better grades within the first 2 months of tuition

Tuition Agency In Singapore | Primary School Tuition | Secondary School Tuition | Junior College Tuition

Improve your grades today when you hire qualified and experienced home tutors from the best tuition agency in Singapore

Exams now require that students have not only studied the text books, but more importantly are able to apply the knowledge in a wide variety of non-familiar circumstances.

It is vital that you carefully research what your child needs, and identify a qualified and suitable tutor who can meet the school’s required teaching methods.

Parents are sometimes not intimately familiar with the latest exam and curriculum requirements. And, they also need to focus on their own busy careers in these challenging economic times.

New tutors join our team every day

Because we are Singapore’s largest tuition agency – and already have such a large active tutor database – we are able to accept only professional tutors with proven abilities to improve their students’ grades. Quickly. 

Choose private tutors who can quickly help you gain marks

If you are serious about finding a good tutor for your child’s home tuition, engage a qualified tutor from Top Tutors

Just let us know your expectations of your ideal tutor, and we will recommend someone experienced and suitable to you

We offer home tuition by expert tutors in English, Chinese, Mathematics, Science, A-Maths, E-Maths, Higher Mother Tongue, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, History, General Paper, English Literature, Principles of Accounting, Social Studies and Economics for Primary, Secondary and Junior College levels

As our tutors have done well in school themselves, they are familiar with how to answer difficult exam questions. They have methods to reduce careless mistakes, and better understanding of what the exam questions are REALLY asking

Remember that when you are selecting tutors, it is their commitment, experience and qualifications that count
Current and former MOE teachers

Most are very experienced, and are able to quickly spot and correct the mistakes of students. They know the syllabus and exam requirements of their own school very well.

As different schools have developed syllabus and content that are different from textbooks and other schools, some MOE teachers might not be familiar with how and what other schools teach.

Experienced university undergraduate tutors

These students have proven academic ability. They had graduated at the top 1% to 20% of their entire student cohort of around 35,000 students (born in the same year as they were) annually. 

Because they are students themselves, these tutors are able to relate very well with the challenges and aspirations of the students that they teach.

They are also likely to have successfully taught siblings, cousins and peers who are/were studying in primary school, secondary school and junior college.

Coming fresh from junior college, they are closely in touch with the recent syllabus changes at Primary, Secondary or JC levels.

Some undergraduates from NUS, SMU or NTU may have their own university projects, or might need to go on overseas exchange programmes.

Experienced graduate part-time tutors

Most of these working professionals have accumulated much tutoring experience during their undergraduate days, have enjoyed their successful time teaching, and continue to want to be tutors even when they have jobs in the accounting, banking, or engineering industries.

Parents like the interesting alternative perspective that these tutors can give to their children, as they can make content come alive and relevant to their students’ lives.

These tutors’ teaching schedules are usually limited to after-6pm sessions, or during the weekends.

Experienced graduate full-time tutors

The income of these tutors is almost entirely from teaching, and they have rich tutoring experience because they teach students from a range of schools and students’ academic abilities in the subject(s) that they specialize in. 

Some full-time tutors are able to provide better or customized notes that cater to the learning style of their students.

The more popular full-time tutors have packed teaching schedules.

Tuition Agency In Singapore | Primary School Tuition | Secondary School Tuition | Junior College Tuition

All our tuition agents/coordinators are graduates from Singapore's top 3 local universities

This is important for our clients because if your tuition coordinator had never done well in school, he or she would not know what types of tutors can truly help you succeed in your studies

Or what each tutor’s greatest tutoring strengths are, compared to other tutors in our team

Two analogies – none of us will feel safe boarding a car if the driver had previously failed the driving test 4 times before managing to just pass – and many of us might not want to try out automated and driverless taxis unless the technology is proven to be safe

Top Tutors makes extra efforts to ensure that the tutor profiles we show you meet the highest academic standards and that the tutor matches are personalized according to every detail that you require

Top Tutors therefore hires tuition coordinators only if they have majored in the subjects that they are arranging tuition matches for

This means that when you are seeking a tutor for Math, the experienced tuition coordinator responsible for submitting profiles for you to review would have graduated from NUS, NTU or SMU in a Math-related subject, or would have scored distinctions in their junior college and secondary/primary Math-related school exams

Specialist tutors
  • Whether it is Science, Math, English, Mother Tongue or the Humanities, our tutors have what it takes to teach
  • Our tutors help our students first comprehend and appreciate the concepts
  • Then, we work on the important exam skills that students must have, if they want to score well in their exams
  • We are Singapore’s largest tuition agency. We are very experienced and confident in helping students score much higher grades
  • Our philosophy is that when students are nurtured and guided well, the grades will very quickly improve
Our attention to detail during the matching process ensures that we recommend only tutors who are proficient in the subject, and whose teaching style matches how you prefer to learn
Private home tuition is useful for:
  • Students who cannot focus in a big group
  • Students who are too shy to ask questions in class
  • Students who need the full attention of their tutors
  • Students who have specific weak areas to improve upon
  • Students who are performing reasonably well but would like to have a competitive edge over the other students – so that they have a better chance to be placed in the top classes and top schools
  • Students who are underperforming in comparison to their classmates, and the new information taught in school is starting to be overwhelming
  • Students who find some topics too vague and difficult to understand
  • Students whose busy parents have little time to help them with their homework, assignments and exams
