FamilyTutor: Best Home Tutors in Singapore

We generally have three types of home tutors that parents can select from depending on your student’s needs and budget. They are the following:

• Part-Time Tutors

They conduct home tuition as a part-time job. They can be working full-time in different jobs such as in sales, data management or entry, and even in other fields! However, because they love teaching and can teach really well, they choose to teach as a home tutor outside of their usual working hours!

Some of our part-timers are also undergraduate students that are still working on getting their diplomas. Because of this, they are usually around 19-25 years old. This makes interaction with our students easier as they relate more because of their closer age groups.

However, we select them just as carefully as full-timers. This means that the part-timers’ grades are also taken into consideration and we only accept the best. They still have to be familiar with our syllabus. But they do have a much flexible schedule and are more budget-friendly.

• Full-Time Tutors

These are the tutors whose main occupation is to conduct home tuition and impart valuable knowledge to student. We sometimes also call them “professional home tutors”.

These tutors are graduates and have diplomas in teaching under their belts. They are experienced tutors that have been tutoring for more than 5 years. They also have immense knowledge on the MOE syllabus. Because of their experience, they hold more resources that they can also use for new students.

Among the three, full-time tutors are more heavily committed to tutoring. As this is their full-time career, they invest on long hours and tutoring their students. The full-time tutors’ rates are accordingly fair based on their experience. This mean that family don’t have to go through a financial step back while still providing an experienced home tutor for their student.

• Ex-/Current School Teachers

These tutors have the experience teaching in MOE/IGCSE/IB schools. Therefore, they know and understand the syllabus really well. They can be teachers that used to teach in MOE schools or still are.

These home tutors had undergone NIE training to become experienced and knowledgeable teachers. That said, they are experts in MOE syllabus. With their experience teaching in schools and expertise in the MOE syllabus, their tutoring methods are perfect so to say.

As they have been trained in pedagogy by NIE, these home tutors are quite effective in their techniques to bring out the best of a student as well as provide them the sufficient help they require. They also have access to all-around resources which may not be available for other home tutor categories.

However, because of their vast skills, experience, and resources, MOE teachers are considered the most expensive of the three categories. It is very critical for families to pay the premium amount for these tutors. However, given their expertise, selecting MOE tutors will guarantee a bright future for your students.
