If you are still looking, I know an experienced tutor. She teaches Pre-school to Secondary school students. She has been teaching for about 21 years. 13 years in mainland china and 8 in Singapore. She is patient and loves children. After my children was taught by her, they were able to attain A1 for their express chinese O paper and A stars for their PSLE chinese paper.

This is not the highest fee,my friend pays $240/2 hrs for her P5 son's Maths tuition!!!! :yikes:

Hourly rates above $100 are usually only charged by jc/uni lecturers with some experience. Why would anyone need someone so grossly over-qualified for the job?

Expensive tutor doesn’t equate good. Eg, my nephew was sent to one of those centre who tout to prepare him well for psle. My bro pay a few thousand dollars for the programme. My sis-in-law was telling me how great it is… In the end? My poor nephew was crushed with his result… But it is really up to u, if u feel it is worth it, who is to say otherwise?

I know a current teacher from a branded sch charging $75 /hr teaching lower pri when she is on unpaid leave.

Of course expensive is not equivalent to quality. But for private tuition, if your child shows no progress after a while, you can stop the tuition immediately. But if you are referring to those motivational package charged by expensive enrichment centres, you pay upfront and there is no refund.

Hi,


A tutor quoted me $100/hr for a subject. Wondering if this is the market rate?

Thanks!

Too ex, if only primary 4, get some undergrads...They can do a pretty good job

Agreed. Yes, it is those centres. I really doubt their worth. However, to see if the tuition is effective, you need to let your child \"marinate\" for a while. Once, I had a tutor who came and after each lesson keep on telling me, \"I am not sure how to tutor your kid\"...... and she is a mature lady. I tell her no need to come after one month
