Short answer
In 2027, 1-to-1 H2 Maths home tuition costs about S$45 to S$60 an hour with a part-time tutor, S$65 to S$90 with a full-time tutor and S$90 to S$130 with an ex-MOE teacher. At 2 hours a week, a common load in JC2, a 4-lesson month comes to about S$520 to S$720 with a full-time tutor.
H2 Maths rates and monthly cost

Why H2 Maths costs more than secondary Maths
H2 Maths covers calculus, vectors, complex numbers, statistics and more, at a depth few tutors can teach well. Fewer tutors who can teach it, and an exam at the end of JC2, push the rate up for every tutor type.
For comparison, A-Math at Sec 3 and Sec 4 costs about S$45 to S$65 an hour with a full-time tutor, against S$65 to S$90 for H2 Maths.
Which tutor type for H2 Maths
- JC1, keeping up: a strong part-time tutor, such as a university student in Maths or Engineering, can be enough.
- JC1 with weak results, or JC2: a full-time tutor who teaches H2 Maths every week.
- Aiming for a top grade, or very far behind: a full-time tutor or an ex-MOE teacher who has taught at JC level.
When to start
JC1 is short. Promotional exams come at the end of the year, and the A-Level papers are in October and November of JC2. Families who start in JC1 term 1 or 2 have time to fix topics before the content piles up. Starting in JC2 still works, but lessons then focus on exam practice more than reteaching.
Common questions
Is H2 Maths tuition cheaper online?
No. Online lessons use the same ranges as home lessons on our rate card. Online can make it easier to fit lessons around a long JC day.
Can one tutor teach both H2 Maths and H2 Physics?
Some can. Ask for it in your request and check the tutor's profile for both subjects. The hourly rate is usually the same for both.
What about H1 Maths?
H1 Maths uses the same JC band. Many families book fewer hours a week for H1 than for H2, so the monthly cost is lower.
