Schools and exams in Bukit Timah
Hwa Chong Institution, Nanyang Girls' High School and National Junior College run the Integrated Programme, so their students skip the national Sec 4 exam (the SEC from 2027, which replaces the O-Level) and are assessed through school exams from Sec 1 until the A-Levels. For these families, tuition usually follows the school's own assessments and the choice of H2 subjects for the A-Levels, rather than the SEC A-Math pattern. Common Bukit Timah requests include NUS High School Math and Science (its own diploma curriculum), IP Math and IP Science, A-Level H2 subjects, DSA preparation for upper primary, and IB tuition for international school families around Holland Village.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have NUS High School Math and Science specialists?
Yes, though the pool is small. NUS High runs its own six-year diploma curriculum in Math and the Sciences, examined by the school. We look for tutors who know this curriculum, such as NUS High alumni now studying Math, Physics or Engineering. Contacting us a few weeks before the term helps.
Can a tutor handle IP Math at Hwa Chong Institution and NJC?
Yes. The Integrated Programme Math syllabus at Hwa Chong and NJC moves faster than the O-Level route, with school assessments instead of the SEC (the O-Level's replacement from 2027). We look for tutors who know the IP syllabus and can plan lessons around the school's internal assessments up to the A-Levels.
Do you cover IB tuition for the international school families along Holland Village?
Yes. We cover IB and IGCSE tuition for families with children at international schools such as EtonHouse, Hwa Chong International, Australian International School and Tanglin Trust. We can look for tutors for HL Math (AA and AI), HL Chemistry, HL Physics, HL Biology and HL English. IB rates are $60 to $150/hour, and the final rate depends on the tutor type, the level and how often lessons run.
Are tutors willing to come to landed properties on Cluny Park, Nassim, Bukit Tinggi?
Yes. Tutors travel to your home, including landed homes around Cluny Park, Nassim and Bukit Tinggi. The rate is the same wherever you live.
Is this a tuition centre in Bukit Timah?
No. We match 1-to-1 tutors who come to your home in Bukit Timah, 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.
