Six tuition centres within about 260 m of Bukit Gombak MRT, on Bukit Batok Street 31, Streets 51 and 52 and in Hong Kah North CC, compared on published fees, our cost per hour estimate, class size, lesson length, trial terms and the schools that name Bukit Gombak MRT.
Bukit Gombak's tuition centres sit in a tight ring around one station. Three are in the blocks numbered 371 to 373 on Bukit Batok Street 31, straight across the road from Bukit Gombak MRT. HAO is upstairs in Hong Kah North Community Club, and Matrix Math and Happy Tutors are a few blocks west on Streets 51 and 52.
For a fee you can read before calling, Math Academy lists every level from Sec 1 to JC2 with no GST or materials fee on top, HAO prints its term prices, and Fun Learners' School lists a 2027 fee per lesson. The other three answer fee questions on enquiry, so their rows below say what they do publish: class sizes, lesson lengths, trial prices or joining costs.
Each distance is a straight line from the station on OneMap.

How we chose these centres
Bukit Gombak is small, so the bar was simple: the centre's own website had to give a unit within a short walk of Bukit Gombak MRT and say what it teaches there.
1An address on its own siteA unit on Bukit Batok Street 31, 51 or 52, or in Hong Kah North CC, taken from the centre's own branch or contact page, not a directory.
2A programme you can readLevels and subjects, plus fee, class size, lesson length, trial price or timetable where given.
3Teaching nowA current timetable, term dates or branch page.
4Inside the ringAll six are 64 m to 260 m from the station on OneMap.
Other names that directories link to Bukit Gombak are not profiled here because no page of their own gave a unit inside this ring with its programme. No centre paid to appear, and the detail below runs in alphabetical order.
