Tutor List ✓ ACRA Verified

Tutor List does not publish specific per-session rates, so families will need to enquire directly for a quote. In the Singapore private tutoring market, rates vary considerably depending on the tutor's background, the subject, the student's level, and the format. As a general guide, group tuition sessions typically range from S$30 to S$80 per session, while one-to-one tuition can run from S$50 for part-time tutors up to S$150 or more per hour for MOE-trained or highly experienced tutors. It is worth asking whether fees are charged per session or bundled into a monthly or term package, whether a trial class carries a separate fee, and whether there are additional costs for printed materials or resources. Sibling discounts or package deals may also be available. See the full private tutors cost guide for Singapore →

Many private tutors and tuition services in Singapore offer a trial class, sometimes at a reduced fee or at the standard session rate, to allow students and parents to assess fit before signing up for a term or package. It is advisable to ask Tutor List directly whether a trial is available and what it costs. During a trial session, pay attention to whether the tutor communicates concepts clearly at the student's level, whether the student appears engaged, and whether the teaching style complements how the student learns. It is also a useful opportunity to gauge how the tutor handles gaps in knowledge or misconceptions. If the trial feels like a mismatch in pace or approach, do not feel obligated to commit. Take the trial class and confirm the tutor's actual credentials before committing to a term.

Specific tutor credentials are not listed in the available information for Tutor List. When enquiring, families should ask whether tutors hold a degree in the relevant subject, whether they have a Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) from NIE or equivalent MOE teaching experience, and how many years they have been tutoring at the relevant level. It is equally important to confirm syllabus alignment — for instance, whether the tutor is familiar with the current MOE Primary or Secondary syllabus, or with international curricula such as IB, IGCSE, or AP if applicable. Asking for a brief profile or CV before committing is entirely reasonable. If this information is not readily provided, treat that as a point to clarify before booking a term of sessions.
