School routes around Potong Pasir
St. Andrew's: primary to JC in one family
St. Andrew's School (Junior) and St. Andrew's School (Secondary) are on Francis Thomas Drive, and St. Andrew's Junior College is on Sorby Adams Drive, all near Potong Pasir MRT. Many students stay in the St. Andrew's schools from P1 to A-Level, so a tutor can plan years ahead. A-Math tuition.
Cedar Girls': Integrated Programme with Victoria JC
Cedar Girls' Secondary runs the Integrated Programme with Victoria Junior College. Students spend four years at Cedar, skip the SEC, then sit the A-Level at Victoria JC, so lessons move faster than the national syllabus. IP Math tuition.
Maris Stella High: Higher Chinese from P1 to Sec 4
Maris Stella High is a SAP school for boys with primary and secondary sections on Mount Vernon Road. Higher Chinese runs through both, and composition and oral practice are common requests. Higher Chinese tuition.
St. Andrew's, Bartley and Maris Stella: the first SEC in 2027
St. Andrew's Secondary, Bartley Secondary and Maris Stella High do not run the Integrated Programme, so their Sec 4 students sit the national exam. From 2027 that is the Singapore-Cambridge SEC, not the O-Level, and each subject is taken at G1, G2 or G3. A child in Sec 3 this year sits the first SEC, so lessons should follow SEAB's 2027 G3 syllabuses. How the SEC works.
Self-check for a Cedar Primary P6: no affiliation, so the score decides
Cedar Primary has no affiliated secondary school, so posting runs on the PSLE Score and the six choices. Marks of 88, 82, 76 and 66 give AL2, AL3, AL4 and AL5, a PSLE Score of 14. MOE puts scores of 4 to 20 in Posting Group 3. Work out your child's score from the latest school exam, then compare it with the scores your six schools took last year on SchoolFinder. Try the PSLE Score calculator.
A P6 year in 2027, term by term
Term 1 (4 Jan to 12 Mar): fix the weakest P5 topics first. Term 2 (22 Mar to 28 May): timed practice for Math Paper 1, where no calculator is allowed. June holidays (29 May to 27 Jun): full papers and oral practice. Term 3 (28 Jun to 3 Sep): revise from the mistakes in school tests. Dates are from MOE's 2027 school calendar. PSLE 2027 dates.
Every subject and level is covered, from Primary 1 to JC, IB and IGCSE. See all subjects.

Frequently asked questions
Which Potong Pasir schools can your tutors help with?
In and around Potong Pasir: St. Andrew's School (Junior), St. Andrew's School (Secondary), St. Andrew's Junior College, Cedar Primary, Cedar Girls' Secondary, Maris Stella High and Bartley Secondary. Tell us the school and share its test schedule, and the tutor can plan lessons around it.
Do tutors travel to Woodleigh, Bidadari and Sennett Estate?
Yes. Tutors travel to your home anywhere around Potong Pasir, including Woodleigh, Bidadari, Sennett Estate and Mount Vernon. The rate is the same wherever you live in the area.
Can you find a tutor for a Cedar Girls' Integrated Programme student?
Yes. Cedar Girls' runs the Integrated Programme, which skips the O-Level and moves faster than the national syllabus. We look for tutors who already teach IP Math or IP Sciences and ask for the school's scheme of work before matching.
Does St. Andrew's (Junior) lead on to St. Andrew's Secondary and SAJC?
MOE SchoolFinder lists St. Andrew's School (Junior) as affiliated to St. Andrew's School (Secondary), and St. Andrew's Secondary as affiliated to St. Andrew's Junior College. Affiliation gives priority in posting, but the PSLE score and later the O-Level or SEC result still have to meet the mark. Cedar Primary lists no affiliated secondary school, so its pupils are posted on the PSLE score and their six choices.
What does each school programme mean for tuition?
St. Andrew's (Junior) runs an Applied Learning Programme called Designing for Change, built around young innovators, and Cedar Primary's Learning for Life Programme is Upstanding Leaders. Cedar Girls' IP students follow a faster, school-set syllabus, so the tutor works from the school's scheme of work. Maris Stella High is a SAP school with primary and secondary sections, and Higher Chinese runs through both. Tell us the school when you book and we match a tutor who knows its pace.
How much does home tuition cost in Potong Pasir?
The rate depends on the level and the tutor type, not the address, and matches the rate table on this page. P5 and P6: part-time S$30 to S$40, full-time S$40 to S$55 and ex-MOE S$60 to S$80 an hour. Sec 3 and Sec 4: part-time S$35 to S$45, full-time S$45 to S$65 and ex-MOE S$65 to S$95 an hour. Worked example: a P6 pupil with a part-time tutor at S$35 an hour, for 1.5 hours once a week, pays S$210 for four lessons. Each profile on your shortlist shows its rate, and there is no contract.
How quickly can you arrange a tutor in Potong Pasir?
For most primary and secondary subjects you get 3 to 12 tutor profiles on WhatsApp within 16 hours. You pick the tutor, and if the first one is not the right fit we arrange a free re-match.
Is this a tuition centre in Potong Pasir?
No. We match 1-to-1 tutors who come to your home in Potong Pasir, 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.
