          There is an award winning ex-teacher who is charging $100/hr for one-to-one home-based tuition at primary level. Is this considered as the market rate for top range tutors?


          Just curious only. There is no way I can afford this kind of money :shock:.
          Yup i believe so. Many parents are willing to fork out huge sums of money for tuition. I know of one friend who arranges for 3 tutors for each subject. The monthly tuition bill runs into 6K - 7K! :roll:

            You so nice 280+ you feel is fair. I would demand a 300 (a record)

            By the way, well known \"Bishan Chem Teacher\" for JC only 70 per hr but group tuition lah. However, must go quick quick or fool house very fast.

              I’ve seen a top-line tutor charge $330/hr before.


              I would never pay that much. However, by looking around at various qualified tutors, I would venture to say that $120-$150/hour is about right for secondary level tuition, 1 to 1.

                I never asked cos I can't afford it. Think should be for upper pri maths.

                  If ds needs one-to-one tuition at secondary level, I'll tell the tutor you got only 30 mins per week. Cos that's all I can afford 😐

                      Hey atutor, I know your 3 ds are top students. Can ask your hubby to write a book on how to cultivate top students or not?

                      $1000 per book I also buy. But must guarantee 270+ hor :rotflmao:
