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 over 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 Deliver Excellent Resuts
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.
They can inspire and motivate. Because they are outstanding role models, patient, and can explain clearly.
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 Physics
Many of our clients tell us that they struggle with Physics 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 Successful 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 Physics if:
✓ You are interested in Physics. 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 Physics syllabus and is starting to (or already) dislike Physics
✓ You want to pursue a career in Physics-related fields such as Data Science, Engineering or Medical Research, and need to maintain a strong A grade
✓ You are taking your O-level or A-level Physics exams and need intensive exam preparation
Star Tutors hires only experienced, patient and qualified Physics tutors with proven abilities to help students’ grades improve
We can quickly find the ideal Physics tutor for you. Just let us know your requirements
Physics Mastery Is An Important Asset
Knowledge itself is a very valuable asset.
Physics 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 Physics. It is likely that this was because they managed to hire a good Physics tutor in time for them to do intensive revision and preparation for the exams.
Physics, As Taught In Singapore Schools
Your syllabus is designed by the MOE to ensure that you have a solid foundation in Physics, whether or not you plan to take Physics at tertiary level.
Career Opportunities Involving Physics
Career opportunities in Computer Science/Information Technology, Engineering, Architecture and Materials Science are attractive and very lucrative
Scoring good grades in Physics is therefore useful to you, when you want to broaden your career options
Get An A For Physics
The only way you can do well in Physics 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 Physics 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 Physics 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.
Every year, students trust Star Tutors because we have helped them, their siblings and their friends to achieve higher grades.
It is this careful, thorough, and professional ability to match you with the ideal tutor that differentiates us from other tuition agencies.
