No contract and no minimum number of lessons. The first lesson is a paid trial at the tutor's rate. If the fit is wrong, we find another tutor at no charge. Cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours ahead, or that lesson is charged.
For example, a one-hour trial for a P5 pupil costs S$30 to S$80, depending on the tutor you choose.

School routes around Kovan
A JC a short walk from the MRT
Anderson Serangoon Junior College is on Upper Serangoon Road, about 650 m from Kovan MRT on MOE's school list, which names Kovan as its station. For a Kovan family with a Sec 4 child, it is the nearest JC. JC1 starts at H2 pace straight away, so many families book a tutor for the first term rather than wait for the first tests. H2 Chemistry tuition.
PLMGS: primary and secondary side by side
Paya Lebar Methodist Girls' School has its primary and secondary schools next to each other on Lorong Ah Soo, about a kilometre from Kovan MRT. Both are government-aided girls' schools on MOE's list. Families whose daughters move up within PLMGS can keep one tutor from P5 to Sec 2 and plan for the jump in Math in Sec 1. Sec 1 Math tuition.
Xinghua and Yuying on Hougang Avenue 1
Xinghua Primary and Yuying Secondary sit next to each other on Hougang Avenue 1, both about 700 m from Kovan MRT. Holy Innocents' Primary, a SAP school on MOE's list, is about 1.3 km away on Lorong Low Koon. For families aiming at a SAP secondary school, P5 and P6 Chinese matter as much as Math. Higher Chinese tuition.
