Would any parent actually hire say a JC student/sec 4 o level student to tutor their child in primary/lower sec? Because I'm a sec 4 student this year awaiting O level results and I was thinking of giving tuition at super low rates but would any parent actually trust their child with such a young tutor?

My friend told tuition while he was in JC, he gets like $10 an hour though he is in university now. Nowadays there are more and more JC students tutoring. Some students from poly have also started tutoring.

I believe there are parents who are willing to try but it probably will take more time. Why are you offering to give \"super low\" rates anyway? Are you not confident of your capabilities to teach the child? If so, then why are you teaching in the first place?

Super low rates would be to attract parents since most of the time they would be looking at tutors who have actual qualifications. I was thinking of $7-$10/hour

Try $10 an hour, when things get better slowly move up your fees on a annual basis.

My son had a tutor who specializes in Sec 3 and 4 Additional and E Maths. She is super good! My son had failed his Sec 3 A maths but after engaging her, he is able to score A2 for A maths and A1 for E Maths in his prelims! Now praying that he could score an A1 for both A and E maths for his O levels!!!


Her rates are reasonable too, only $35 per hour. If i am remember correctly, she has A1 in both A and E maths for her O level as well as an A in her A levels Maths!

Hi,


The rates depend on the qualification of tutors, since the student’s level as discussed is secondary three.

For part-time tutors, it is at least $25/hr.
For professionals like teachers or ex-teachers, it is at least $40/hr.

I am a Math tutor (part-time) with 4 years experience in teaching secondary math. I charge at least $30/hr.

Hope that helps.

Just thought that I can give my 2 cents worth here. I think if you are studying in JC it's best to really concentrate. The syllabus is getting harder. My students who did well for O levels (well as in they got into top-med tier JCs) found the syllabus choking even though they are studying full time.

Most parents will think twice about engaging tutors who charge super low rates. Typical Singaporeans will go huh? Why so cheap? If the rates too high then it goes huh? Why so expensive? :siam:

I hope I didnt offend anyone. :xedfingers:

I don't trust such young tutors. I prefer full-time tutors who can commit. I have had part-time tutors who will keep changing tuition timing/canceling due to their exams and projects due dates. I rather pay more to get someone reliable.
