| Lower Primary (P1–P4) | S$30–40/hr | S$40–55/hr | S$50–65/hr |
| Upper Primary / PSLE (P5–P6) | S$35–50/hr | S$45–60/hr | S$55–75/hr |
| Lower Secondary (Sec 1–2) | S$35–50/hr | S$50–65/hr | S$60–80/hr |

| Junior College / A-Level (JC1–JC2) | S$55–75/hr | S$70–95/hr | S$85–130/hr |
| IB Diploma (DP1–DP2) / IGCSE | S$60–80/hr | S$75–110/hr | S$95–150/hr |
Rates are 2026 Singapore market norms. Final rate is set on tutor match and depends on tutor tier, travel, and lesson frequency. See full pricing page.
How tutors are tiered
- Undergraduate tutors, typically NUS, NTU, SMU, or polytechnic students with strong A-Level / IB backgrounds in the subject. Best fit for lower-primary / lower-secondary foundation work, or non-exam-year coaching. Lower hourly rate, often more available evening / weekend slots.
- Full-time specialist tutors, career tutors with 5+ years of teaching the syllabus. Familiar with the SEAB marking schemes and prelim paper styles of the major schools. Most exam-year (P6, Sec 4, JC2) bookings sit at this tier.
- Ex-MOE / NIE-trained tutors, former MOE classroom teachers and Heads of Department, NIE-trained, often with marking experience. Highest tier; matches concentrate around exam-year intensives and harder subjects (H2 Math, H2 Chemistry, IB HL).
Worked example, monthly tuition cost
One 1.5-hour lesson per week × ~4.3 weeks per month. Mid-band hourly rate from each tier shown. Use as a planning estimate; final cost is your tutor's agreed hourly rate × time taught.
| Level | Undergrad / month | Full-time / month | Ex-MOE / month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lower Primary (P1-P3) | ~S$200 | ~S$290 | ~S$390 |
| Upper Primary / PSLE (P4-P6) | ~S$240 | ~S$340 | ~S$455 |
| Lower Sec (Sec 1-2) | ~S$260 | ~S$360 | ~S$485 |
| Upper Sec / O-Level (Sec 3-4) | ~S$320 | ~S$455 | ~S$615 |
| JC / A-Level (JC1-2) | ~S$390 | ~S$555 | ~S$745 |
| IB / IGCSE (HL / extended) | ~S$425 | ~S$615 | ~S$810 |
Two lessons per week roughly doubles the figure. Many exam-year families step up to 2 sessions/week from January (P6 / Sec 4) or June (JC2). Travel time is not charged separately for in-home lessons within Singapore.
Pricing FAQ
How are Singapore home tuition rates determined?▼
Three factors: level (Primary, Secondary, JC, IB), tutor tier (undergrad, full-time specialist, ex-MOE / NIE-trained), and lesson frequency. Travel time and lesson length play minor roles. The same tutor will charge similar rates across most agencies, there is no haggling premium for working through us.
Why is there a range, not a fixed price?▼
Tutors set their own rates within market norms. A first-year NUS undergraduate teaching P5 Math charges less than a 15-year ex-MOE Math HOD. We surface the range so parents know the expected band before booking; the final rate is set on the tutor match.
Are there any hidden agency fees?▼
No. We do not charge parents an agency fee. The tutor pays a one-time placement commission to us when the match is confirmed. Parents pay the tutor directly at the agreed hourly rate from lesson 1 onwards.
What if the tutor isn't the right fit?▼
If the fit isn't right, we re-match you with another tutor free of charge, no questions asked. Most parents continue with the first tutor we propose.
How quickly can lessons start?▼
Non-urgent matches: 3-7 days. Exam-period urgent matches (8 weeks before PSLE / O-Level / A-Level / IB): tutor matched within 48 hours, lessons starting within 5-7 days.
Do these rates apply to online lessons?▼
Yes. We charge the same rate for online (Zoom / Google Meet) and in-home lessons. Online suits concept-coaching and review; in-home is preferred for past-paper drilling at upper-Sec / JC levels where the tutor needs to mark on the same physical paper.
