Marine Parade at a glance

Marine Parade, together with Katong and the East Coast, is one of Singapore's older residential districts. It is a mix of private housing, conserved Peranakan shophouses along Joo Chiat and Koon Seng Road, and HDB blocks built on reclaimed land facing East Coast Park. Marine Parade station (TE26) on the Thomson-East Coast Line opened in June 2024, sitting between Tanjong Katong and Marine Terrace and serving Parkway Parade and i12 Katong. Tutors travel to your home, and buses along Marine Parade Road and East Coast Road cover the rest of the area.

Frequently asked questions

Is Marine Parade easy for tutors to reach?

Yes. Marine Parade station (TE26) on the Thomson-East Coast Line opened in June 2024, next to Parkway Parade. Tutors travel to your home anywhere in Marine Parade, Katong and the Amber and Tanjong Katong private estates, and the rate is the same wherever you live.

Do you have tutors who know Dunman High's IP and Higher Chinese programmes?

Yes. Dunman High runs a six-year Integrated Programme, so we look for tutors who understand IP pacing and assessment rather than the O-Level track. For Higher Chinese, including for Dunman High and Chung Cheng High (Main), we look for tutors with a strong Chinese background, including ex-MOE teachers where available. Tell us your child's school and stream when you enquire, since IP and Higher Chinese matching takes a little longer and benefits from a tutor who knows the IP pace and the Higher Chinese syllabus.

How far ahead should I book a tutor in Marine Parade?

For Math, English and Science at primary and lower-secondary level, you usually get a shortlist of 2 to 4 tutor profiles within 16 hours, and the first lesson usually within 5 to 10 days. For Higher Chinese and specialist requests such as General Paper for Victoria JC, the shortlist can take a little longer. Weekday 4 to 6pm and weekend morning slots are popular, so booking two to three weeks ahead of the PSLE, school exams, the SEC or A-Levels is wise.

Which subjects do Marine Parade and Katong families usually ask for?

At primary level, common requests are PSLE Math, Science and English. At secondary level, families often ask for A-Math, Pure Chemistry and Pure Physics for Sec 3 and Sec 4, and Higher Chinese. English and oral coaching is also common. At JC level, H2 Math, H2 Chemistry and General Paper are common requests, along with IP-track Math and Science.

Is this a tuition centre in Marine Parade?

No. We match 1-to-1 tutors who come to your home in Marine Parade, 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.
