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.

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.

Please let us know if you are the parent/guardian of the student or if you are a student looking for a tutor
SINGAPORE’S LEADING PRIVATE TUITION AGENCY

HOW DO I REQUEST FOR A TUTOR?

You can request for a tutor by submitting our online Request Form.

Upon receiving your request, we will Whatsapp you to discuss your child’s academic needs. We will spend the next few hours shortlisting several suitable tutors within our database and network for your consideration.

Our working hours are from 9am to 9pm, seven days a week.

Tuition usually commences within one week after you have selected a tutor.

TRIAL LESSON

The paid trial lessons can be 1.5 hours or 2 hours per session.

CAN I CHANGE THE TUTOR AFTER THE TUITION BEGINS?

You just need to pay for the tuition session(s) that have been conducted. There will not be any extra charges for the change.

AM I ABLE TO VIEW THE TUTOR’S CERTIFICATES BEFORE THE FIRST LESSON?

You can request to see the hardcopies of certificates of your tutor to be presented to you during the first lesson.

The client acknowledges that it is his/her responsibility to verify the suitability, credentials and qualifications of any tutor with whom he/she engages.

HOW MUCH DO I PAY FOR YOUR TUTOR MATCHING SERVICES?

Star Tutors is Singapore’s leading private tuition agency and our matching service is free for students/parents requesting for tutors. This is because our agency commission is charged to the tutor, not to you.

The client will pay to Star Tutors half of the fees payable in the first 4 calendar weeks. This amount is the commission to Star Tutors for matching the tutor to the client, and will be borne by the tutor.

Thereafter, the client will pay the tuition fees directly to the tutor.

If lessons are postponed during the first two weeks, the commission payable to Star Tutors will be based on the tuition session conducted the subsequent week(s).

The tutor shall collect all fees due to the tutor from the parent after the two weeks. Star Tutors will not assist in any recovery of fees.

PAYMENT OF FEES

The client is required to pay tuition fees only for the number of hours of lessons given by the tutor.

If you decide to stop the tuition after the first lesson, you are required to pay for only that lesson.

Please transfer the fee for that lesson to Star Tutors and we will transfer the tutor’s fee to him/her.

Tutors are not authorized at any time to collect the payment on Star Tutors’s behalf.

Tuition fees are to be paid every 4 weeks to the tutor, unless otherwise agreed between the client and the tutor.

PAYMENT MODE

We will provide our bank account information for you to make payment via internet banking or ATM transfer directly to Star Tutors’s bank account.

If the client fails to pay us, Star Tutors reserves the right to terminate the Assignment. This is in fairness to the tutor, who might need to give the available slot to another client if this Assignment does not materialize.

Once the payment is received, it will be acknowledged in the form of a receipt, issued to the payer (Parent/Requestor/Guardian) via Whatsapp, sms, email or other electronic communications medium. We will also provide details of the Tuition Assignment that can include: tutor’s name, hourly fee, date of commencement of tuition, subject(s), level, duration of each lesson and frequency, etc.

FIRST LESSON

Once the client accepts the tutor’s candidacy, the client will not be able to change the schedule of the First Lesson.

Clients are allowed to make changes in the schedule after the First Lesson is over. However, Star Tutors hopes that this is not necessary as the tutor has already reserved that slot of time for you.

If you want to make changes in the schedule, please consult with your tutor to ask if he/she is able to change the schedule or not.

The tutor is to bring his/her identity document, academic transcripts/certificates and relevant documents for the First Lesson for verification purposes.

If the tutor is unable to conduct the First Lesson of a tuition assignment, the tutor must call Star Tutors at least 3 business days before the actual lesson. If the tutor fails to notify Star Tutors of his/her cancellation/postponement, an administrative charge of S$30 will be imposed on him/her.

If the tutor fails to contact Star Tutors with a valid reason to inform us about the tutor’s absence from the lesson, the tutor’s profile at Star Tutors may be blacklisted. This will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

LOCATION OF TUTORING LESSONS

Tutors will conduct lessons at the student’s residence unless otherwise specified and agreed upon by both the client and the tutor.

If the client has a request for the tuition to be conducted at another location (eg a friend’s home), Star Tutors will ask if the tutor is able to accommodate the request.

Star Tutors and the tutor will not be responsible if the given location is occupied or not available for use for the lessons and the officially scheduled timings will still be counted as a paid lesson.

TUTOR REASSIGNMENT OR CANCELLATION OF ASSIGNMENTS

There is no obligation or contract to complete a fixed number of lessons, except for the First Lesson.

If at any time the client is not satisfied with the tutor, the client may request a replacement or termination. However, the client is responsible for paying the fee for the number of lessons given prior to termination.

Star Tutors will discuss separately with the client and the tutor regarding future tuition arrangements, and Star Tutors will change the tutor for the client. There will not be any extra charges for the change and the client needs to pay just for the tuition session(s) that have been conducted.

If the client cancels a tutoring assignment before the tutor completes the agreed number of lessons for the first 4 calendar weeks, Star Tutors assumes full claim to 50% of the tuition fees for the total number of lessons delivered in the month. For example, if the client had requested for 8 lessons per month, but the assignment was cancelled after the 5th session, Star Tutors will be paid pro-rated commission for the 5 lessons conducted.

Star Tutors will not be liable for any payment charges or issues arising from the cancellation of tuition assignments by the client.

If the client terminates the Assignment because the tutor is often late, skips lessons without valid explanations etc, the tutor will bear Star Tutors’s full commission fee.

If the tutor cancels the Assignment after confirming acceptance (that is, the client’s contact information and address have been given to the tutor), the tutor will need to compensate the commission which amounts to 50% of the fees payable (as stated in the confirmation Whatsapp, sms, email or other forms of electronic communications messages) for the first 4 weeks.

If the tutor wishes to cancel a Tuition Assignment before the end of the first 4 calendar weeks, the tutor is to inform both Star Tutors as well as the client at least 3 days before the next lesson date. Star Tutors will recover our legal share of the one-time commission of 50% of the fee for the first 4 calendar weeks from the tutor. Tutors are encouraged to have a long-term commitment as the clients have vested their trust in them.

TERMINATION

The tutor will receive full or pro-rated payment for the number of lessons rendered, provided the tutor has complied with the Terms of this Agreement.

The client has the right to terminate the tuition if the tutor is unable to produce the documents certifying his/her credentials. In such cases, the tutor has to pay Star Tutors the amount of money equivalent to the tuition fee for the day, as commission.

The Challenges When Studying Math

Many of our clients tell us that they struggle with Math 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.

Start Math Tuition Tomorrow

Within 24 hours after you have contacted us, Star Tutors will show you profiles of between 4 to 10 exceptional tutors for Math tuition.

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 Mathematics if:

✓ You are interested in Math. 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 Math syllabus and is starting to (or already) dislike Math

✓ You want to pursue a career in Math-related fields such as Actuarial Science, Banking and Finance or Engineering, and need to maintain a strong A grade

✓ You are taking your PSLE, O-level or A-level Math exams and need intensive exam preparation

Star Tutors hires only experienced, patient and qualified Math tutors with proven abilities to help students’ grades improve.

We can quickly find the ideal Math tutor for you. Just let us know your requirements.

Mathematics Mastery Is An Important Asset

Knowledge itself is a very valuable asset.

Math 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 Mathematics. It is likely that this was because they managed to hire a good Math tutor in time for them to do intensive revision and preparation for the exams.

Mathematics, As Taught In Singapore Schools

Your syllabus is designed by the MOE to ensure that you have a solid foundation in Math, whether or not you plan to take Mathematics at tertiary level.

Career Opportunities Involving Mathematics

Career opportunities in Banking & Finance, Engineering, Computer Science and Statistics are attractive and very lucrative

Scoring good grades in Math is therefore useful to you, when you want to broaden your career options

Get An A For Mathematics

The only way you can do well in Math is by having a clear understanding the key concepts of what are required in the examination schemes and formats.

Affordable And Fair Tutor Rates

Our private tutor matching service is free, and students only need to pay monthly tuition charges.

Tutors in Singapore quote their own hourly rates. In general, the rates are based on their years of private tutoring experience, their academic qualifications, and their abilities/confidence to help their students’ grades improve.

The tuition industry is very competitive and transparent.

Parents are aware that when their budget is below the industry average, the better-qualified tutors are not likely to apply for the assignment.

The figures below are the average range of rates quoted by experienced tutors with good track records.

Star Tutors represents only university undergraduates, graduates, MOE current/former teachers and university lecturers.

Get The Best Deals When Hiring A Math 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 Math 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.

singapore math tuition

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.
