Assuming no experience, one to one tuition for a primary level student. Tutors with more experience/popularity will charge more. Higher academic levels will be charged more as well.


GCE A Level Grads
S$15-20/hour

University Undergrad
S$18-30/hour

Ex-school Teacher/NIE Trained
S$30-45/hour

How to findout weather the teacher is areal Ex-school Teacher/NIE Trained?

Well, mostly trust - otherwise you can ask for certificate. Most won't mind showing.

NIE Certs
- Dip Ed (Diploma in Education)
- Bs (Education) = Bachelor of Science + Post Grad Diploma in Education
- Ba (Education) = Bachelor of Arts + Post Grad Diploma in Education

Rates vary according to the level of the child and qualifications of the teacher. I have had many of my students’ parents tell me ‘horror’ stories of tutors who had previously taught their children and this is mostly from my P6 students. Some tutors make a lot of empty promises (the best one I have heard is that she could get the questions for the child’s Prelim exams) and charge ridiculous fees ($80 p/hr). Strangely enough (well to me anyway) the parents paid the tutor the fee for a few months without checking her certificates. It was only when the tutor started missing lessons that she she decided to stop.


I advise all parents to check the certificates of all tutors claiming to be NIE-trained teachers. Parents pay extra for such teachers because we have taught the syllabus, set exam papers and marked countless exam papers. We know the common errors and in which areas we need to focus on to make sure that the children improve in their results.

So be vigilant about who you get :smile
