Serangoon Home Tuition & Private Tutors

Lower primary (P1 to P4) is $30 to $50/hour. P5 to P6 PSLE prep is $40 to $60/hour. Lower Sec is $40 to $55/hour, Upper Sec is $50 to $70/hour, and JC H1/H2 is $60 to $85/hour. Higher Chinese usually sits at $50 to $70/hour because qualified tutors are scarcer. Serangoon rates are very close to Bishan and Ang Mo Kio rates thanks to the shared Circle Line and North-East Line tutor supply. Where Serangoon occasionally runs slightly higher is for sought-after Rosyth and Maris Stella tutors, where parents are willing to pay a small premium for school-specific familiarity.

It is driven by the schools. Rosyth School is one of the most oversubscribed primaries in Singapore, and Maris Stella High draws strong, aspirational families across the Serangoon and Bartley belt. In catchments like these, parents benchmark from lower primary because the gap between the top and middle of the cohort shows up early. That is why our P4 to P5 Math and Science requests in Serangoon are noticeably higher per capita than in less school-dense towns. Many families also treat Higher Chinese as a priority from P3, given the SAP heritage at Maris Stella and Zhonghua.

Yes. Serangoon MRT is a dual-line interchange, so tutors come in from both the North-East Line (Hougang, Kovan) and the Circle Line (Bishan, Lorong Chuan, Bartley). Serangoon North flats are a short bus ride from the interchange, and the landed Serangoon Gardens estate is reachable within about ten minutes via the bus interchange or by car. We match Gardens and Serangoon North addresses first with tutors already living in the North-East corridor, so a travel premium for Serangoon is rare.

Yes. Rosyth runs a fast-paced, high-expectation primary programme, and Maris Stella is a SAP school with a demanding Math and Higher Chinese curriculum. We match these students with tutors who have taught in those catchments before, or who are ex-Maris Stella, ex-Catholic High or ex-Nanyang graduates comfortable with the accelerated pace. For Maris Stella Higher Chinese specifically, expect a slightly longer booking window of 5 to 7 days, since the pool of tutors who can teach at that level is smaller than for English, Math or Science.

For English, Math and Science, matching usually takes 3 to 5 days. Higher Chinese and JC H2 subjects take a little longer, around 5 to 7 days, because the qualified pool is smaller. The most contested slots are weekday 4 to 6pm and weekend mornings, which tighten during the March and mid-year exam periods. If your child has fixed CCAs at Rosyth, St. Gabriel's or Maris Stella that clash with the prime windows, send us the timetable up front and we will work backwards from it, though narrow windows take a few extra days to fill well.

At primary level it is PSLE Math and Science, closely followed by Higher Chinese given the SAP-school presence. At secondary the heaviest demand is A-Math, Pure Chemistry and Pure Physics for the O-Level Express track at St. Gabriel's Sec, Zhonghua Sec and Maris Stella High. English oral and comprehension requests are steady across upper primary and lower secondary. At JC level, H2 Math and H2 Chemistry are the most requested, peaking before the A-Level promos and prelims, and we serve students travelling out to junior colleges across the North-East and central corridor.
