Frequently asked questions
Do you have tutors for P3 students at Ai Tong?
Yes. We can look for tutors who have coached P3 students in Math problem-solving and English, and who can build the reasoning skills needed in the upper primary years. Tell us your child's school and current level when you book.
Are there enough Higher Chinese tutors for the Catholic High and Ai Tong cluster?
Yes, though Higher Chinese can take longer to match because fewer tutors teach it at this level. We look for experienced Chinese tutors, including ex-MOE teachers, who know the Higher Chinese composition style. For PSLE, SEC and A-Level Higher Chinese, the shortlist can take a little longer than the usual 16 hours.
Can a tutor help a Raffles Institution student on the Integrated Programme?
Yes. Raffles Institution is on the Integrated Programme, so its assessments differ from the national Sec 4 exam (the SEC from 2027). We will ask which year and subjects your child needs and look for a tutor who knows the IP syllabus.
Do tutors travel to Sin Ming, Marymount, or Bright Hill addresses?
Yes. Tutors travel to your home, including Sin Ming, Marymount, Bright Hill and landed homes around Upper Thomson. The rate is the same wherever you live in the town.
Is this a tuition centre in Bishan?
No. We match 1-to-1 tutors who come to your home in Bishan, so there is no travel to a centre and lessons fit around your child's timetable. If you prefer small-group classes at a centre, our home tuition and tuition centre comparison explains the differences.
