AEIS Tuition & Preparation in Singapore
The AEIS is the centralised test the MOE uses to place international students into mainstream primary and secondary schools. It assesses English and Mathematics at a level pitched above the student's intended entry grade, which is why targeted preparation matters — the bar is the Singapore syllabus standard, not the home-country one. We match tutors experienced with international students and the AEIS format.
In a sentence

No agency fee, with a free re-match if the fit is wrong.

What AEIS preparation covers
Why AEIS preparation is different
AEIS tests to the Singapore standard one level above the target entry grade, and the English paper in particular trips up strong students from non-English-medium systems. Effective preparation closes the vocabulary and grammar gap, builds exam-format familiarity (the question types are specific), and lifts Mathematics presentation to the Singapore working standard.
Timeline for international families
AEIS is typically sat in the September–October window, with a supplementary round (S-AEIS) early the following year. Most families allow several months of focused preparation. Because tutors experienced with the AEIS and international students are a smaller pool, booking ahead of the exam window is worth doing early.
