Seven tuition centres in Siglap, four of them inside Siglap Centre on Siglap Road and three along East Coast Road and in Frankel Estate, compared on levels, published fees, class size, trial terms and distance from Siglap MRT, plus the schools near TE28.
Siglap's tuition is concentrated in one low-rise building, Siglap Centre, where the corner of Siglap Road meets East Coast Road. Think Teach Academy and MACRO Academy share unit #02-30 there, one teaching P3 to P6 and the other secondary to JC, Twinkling Talent teaches Chinese two doors along, and The Rhetoric Collective runs debate classes in the basement.
Walk east along East Coast Road and Tutelage at 693A covers P1 to JC2, while ELK at 709A pairs tuition with weekday student care. In Frankel Estate, in:genius at 91 Frankel Avenue does the same for primary pupils.
Of the seven, one publishes a fee per lesson, and none publishes both a fee and a lesson length, so the table has no per-hour column.

A worked case: a P5 child at Think Teach Academy pays S$100 a lesson at the centre. A full-time P5 tutor at S$40 to S$55 an hour costs S$60 to S$82.50 for 90 minutes, one to one, though the centre lesson may run longer. Ask the centre for its lesson length before you compare.
Many Siglap families keep a centre for one subject and add a tutor for the weakest one in the term before the PSLE or the SEC papers. Our island-wide lists for PSLE, Chinese, English and JC cover centres further afield.
