HISTORY TUITION, BY EXPERTS
SINGAPORE’S LARGEST TEAM OF EXCEPTIONAL TUTORS
ACHIEVE GRADE IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN 4 LESSONS
A Warm Welcome!
Hello, I am Kristy Lee – University of Bristol, PhD (School of Education/Research)
I lead a team of tuition consultants and coordinators who are former MOE teachers
Our 36,000 experienced tutors are current/ex-MOE teachers, and graduated/undergraduate tutors
They each have between 2 to over 30 years of tutoring/teaching experience
About 20% of our tutors have PhD’s or Master’s degrees in the same subject that you would like to have tuition in
Making the decision to hire a private tutor AND FINDING THE RIGHT ONE can make all the difference in helping you get your grades back on track
SINGAPORE’S BIGGEST TEAM OF COMPETENT TUTORS
85% of our students achieved improvements of at least 1 grade, within 12 weeks after tuition started
The other 15% achieved grade improvements within the first 2 months of tuition
EFFECTIVE TUITION, BY EXPERTS
As Singapore’s top tuition agency, our tuition consultants and coordinators have matched students with experienced and accomplished tutors
Many years ago, we had seen for ourselves that when a tutor teaches the student the wrong information (because he/she is not really competent), the chances of the student’s grades improving are very slim
Star Tutors does not want to take risks with your grades
STAR TUTORS DELIVERS EXCELLENT RESULTS
Since 2007, we have established a reputation for being trustworthy, honest and effective
Star Tutors listens attentively to your requirements
We show profiles of experienced tutors to you only if they have proven abilities to deliver improved grades
A-GRADE TUTORS
Students enjoy learning from – and feel comfortable with – someone who can clearly tell them how they can master difficult content and conquer their challenges
Therefore, our tutors must have scored a distinction in the subject(s) they teach, before we will consider showing their profile to you
Our private tutors each specialize in different subjects, and some regularly teach a combination of subjects. They have valuable, relevant and practical exam tips to share with you
They know the correct answers, and can help you to navigate easily

THE CHALLENGES WHEN STUDYING HISTORY
Many of our clients tell us that they struggle with History so much that they do not have enough time to study their other subjects.
The Ministry of Education is already taking many steps to reduce the weightage of grades when students apply for junior colleges, polytechnics and universities
You realize that ultimately, it is still your grades that determine which Junior College, Polytechnic or University that you will be accepted into

COMPETE AGAINST YOUR PEERS – AND WIN
And the fact still remains that many, many students from your school and from other schools are competing with you for the same coveted courses, and places in junior colleges, universities or polytechnics
Demand for the best (or better) classes, courses, and tertiary institutes will always exceed the available places
Average-scoring students typically end up being accepted into the less popular junior colleges, universities and courses
YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THE OTHERS – ONCE YOU ENGAGE RELIABLE PRIVATE TUTORS
Because the objective is to “do better than the other person” rather than only to “get a certain grade”, parents will do all they can (as loving parents) to give their children that competitive edge
It’s not just about keeping up with other children with better grades, but also to make sure their kids don’t feel “stupid’’ or “left out’’ and end up really hating the subject just because others are so good at it
Good grades are the best confidence boosters
Get a private tutor who can remember your child’s weaknesses and target those areas
Help your child to stay ahead. It is important for their future
DIFFICULT EXAM QUESTIONS – WHY IT’S HAPPENING
Over the years, harder questions are being answered correctly by more and more students
Exam setters have no choice but to introduce even harder questions, to be able to distinguish the superior from the good students in each cohort
This then leads to much tougher questions when it is your turn to take the exam
It’s a bit of a vicious cycle, really. Everyone fears that questions will be more difficult when it is their turn to take the exam, so parents want to engage professional private tutors, to better-prepare their children to compete against their peers. The children study harder and manage to score good grades
The exam papers and results are then reviewed, and because the students have been so well-prepared and on the whole have achieved satisfactory grades because they hired good home tutors, the questions are deemed too easy
This makes it necessary to set questions that are even more difficult, the next year
And further increases the need for parents to engage reliable private tutors
YOU NEED TO SCORE WELL IN HISTORY IF:
✓ You are interested in History. However, no matter how hard you try, your grades have not improved satisfactorily, and you have difficulty applying what you have learnt to answer the questions adequately
✓ Your child often complains about the difficult and complex History syllabus and is starting to (or already) dislike History
✓ You want to pursue a career in History-related fields such as Public Sector Policy-Making, Law, or Education, and need to maintain a strong A grade
✓ You are taking your O-level or A-level History exams and need intensive exam preparation
Star Tutors hires only experienced, patient and qualified History tutors with proven abilities to help students’ grades improve
We can quickly find the ideal History tutor for you. Just let us know your requirements
HISTORY MASTERY IS AN IMPORTANT ASSET
Knowledge itself is a very valuable asset
History tuition provides the extra boost for knowledge – and your grades
CONFIDENCE DURING YOUR EXAMS
You do not want to end up being assigned courses or a tertiary institute that is your 3rd or 4th choice because you lost out by just a few marks in your O-Level or A-Level exams
Your classmates managed to score good grades for History. It is likely that this was because they managed to hire a good History tutor in time for them to do intensive revision and preparation for the exams
HISTORY, AS TAUGHT IN SINGAPORE SCHOOLS
Your syllabus is designed by the MOE to ensure that you have a solid foundation in History, whether or not you plan to take History at tertiary level
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES IN HISTORY
Career opportunities in Law, Finance, Business Analysis and Information Technology are attractive and very lucrative
Scoring good grades in History is therefore useful to you, when you want to broaden your career options
GET AN A FOR HISTORY
The only way you can do well in History is by having a clear understanding the key concepts of what are required in the examination schemes and formats

GET THE BEST DEALS WHEN HIRING A HISTORY TUTOR
Three easy ways to ensure successful grade improvement:
Reduce Tutoring Requirements
Tuition rates depend on tutor qualifications as well as tutor availability. The more requirements you have, the harder it is to find a tutor who will respond to your assignment
Typical requirements would include Gender, Combination of Subjects, Budget, Schedule, etc.
You should shortlist the requirements that are most important to you
For example, if you want only female tutors, then this reduces the tutor options by 50%
It is also good to hire two separate tutors, to teach two different subjects because most tutors are truly strong at one subject, even if they themselves scored A’s for both of the subjects that you want tuition in
Major National Exams
Tutors who specialize or have significant experience in tutoring students taking their PSLE, GCE O Levels and GCE A Levels typically quote higher hourly rates
This is due to the intensive effort in exam preparation, content revision, and (if the student was not taught properly in previous years) getting the student to un-learn the study skills that have been causing weak grades
Every year after the June holidays, good tutors usually do not want to teach graduating year students because they will need to rush and intensely cram a lot of content, in order to adequately prepare the student
Parents therefore prefer to engage a reliable History tutor at least one year ahead of the major National Exams
Budget
We encourage our clients to be realistic with the tuition budget that they would like to work within
Star Tutors does not regulate nor alter the hourly tuition rates
Tutors with proven track records that consistently deliver A grades, tuition teachers with many years of experience, and current/former MOE teachers are already accepting assignments within a certain hourly rate
As there is always strong demand and a waiting list for these tutors, they are not likely to accept rates below their current rates
