Is Your Child Experiencing Challenges in Primary 5 Chinese Studies?
Hurdles Encountered by Primary 5 Chinese Students
1. Advanced Writing Skills:
At Primary 5, students are expected to craft longer, more structured compositions with clear ideas and logical flow. Organising thoughts effectively, using appropriate vocabulary, and applying proper grammar are essential. Our P5 Chinese tutors provide step-by-step guidance to help students plan, write, and refine essays with greater confidence and creativity.

Our P5 Chinese tuition incorporates diverse listening exercises, helping students sharpen their comprehension, adapt to different accents, and respond fluently in oral exams and real-world conversations.
3. Preparation for Assessments:
As assessment standards grow more demanding in Primary 5, students must balance building language skills with strategic exam preparation. Our programme equips students with effective answering techniques, familiarises them with exam formats, and strengthens time management, ensuring they are fully prepared for Chinese school exams and the upcoming PSLE year. By mastering Primary Chinese, Primary 5 students can position themselves for success, equipping them with the skills needed to thrive in a diverse and dynamic global environment.

Personal Goal Setting: Tutors can work with students to set Personalised learning goals, offering motivation and accountability that aligns with the student’s interests and aspirations. This individualised goal setting encourages engagement and progress, whereas tuition centers often focus on group-oriented objectives.
Focus on Exam Techniques: One-on-one tuition allows for detailed coaching on exam strategies and techniques, tailored to the student’s needs and learning style. This focused preparation is often more comprehensive than what can be achieved in a group class setting.
Adaptation to Curriculum Changes: Tutors can quickly adapt lessons to reflect any changes in the school curriculum, ensuring that the student is always learning the most relevant material. This adaptability can be slower in tuition centres, where adjustments may need to be made across all classes.

Primary 5 Chinese Tuition Pricing FAQs
What is the difference between the type of Primary 5 Chinese tutors available?
To simplify things, we group our tutors into three main tutor categories:
– Part-Time Primary 5 Chinese Tutors – refers to private P5 tutors who doing it part-time. Most of the P5 tutors here are still schooling: A-level graduates, Diploma students/graduates, or Undergraduates. To a lesser extent, there are also University graduates and working professionals offering tuition part-time and they fall under this category. Part-time tutors are the cheapest option for Pri 5 home tuition in Singapore.
– Full-Time Primary 5 Chinese Tutors – refers to full-time private P5 tutors who teach as a profession. Full-time tutors may/may not be university graduates but often have significantly more teaching experiences than part-time tutors as they tutor lots of students 1-to-1 as well as take up jobs in tuition centres teaching groups of students in classes.The actual qualifications and experience of a full-time tutor can vastly differ between individuals, hence so does the tuition rate they command.
– Primary 5 Chinese School Teachers – refers to ex/current school teachers either from MOE or from private and international schools. P5 Tutors under this category tend to be the most experienced and qualified in private tutoring and thus command the highest tuition rates. Be prepared to pay a premium in order to engage these P5 teachers successfully.
Do I have to pay any agent fees?
Our services are free-of-charge for parents and students. You are only required to pay for Primary 5 Chinese lessons conducted. A portion of the total lesson fees usually in the first four weeks of lessons will be allocated to SmileTutor as the agency commission. This is deducted directly from the tutor’s fees, so you do not pay anything extra.
However, there is a 9% GST imposed on the agency commission. For example, if you engage a Primary 5 Chinese home tutor for $50 per class for once a week, the agency commission will be $100. Hence, the GST imposed is $9. This is only a one-off payment only and from 3rd lesson onward there is no GST since you pay the tutor directly. The tutor’s fees are not subjected to GST.
To facilitate the process for us to collect the agency fees, you are required to cooperate with us by transferring the allocated agency commission (usually 50% of the 1st month fees) + GST directly to SmileTutor. Thereafter, you will pay the remaining lessons to the tutor directly. Our Tuition Coordinators will inform you of the full payment details and instructions upon lesson confirmation.
Are there any contracts?
There are no contracts and obligations until you agree to engage our private Primary 5 Chinese tutors. When any assignment is confirmed, there are guidelines to follow to ensure that both the student and tutor can have a smooth and rewarding experience.
How can I trust the Primary 5 Chinese tutors recommended by SmileTutor?

Read lessFrequently Asked Questions about Primary 5 Chinese Tuition in Singapore
Is Primary 5 Chinese a difficult subject?
Primary 5 Chinese introduces more complex language concepts, making it a challenging subject for many students. The syllabus expands to include advanced grammar structures, sophisticated vocabulary, and comprehension passages that require deeper analytical skills.
Composition writing also becomes more demanding, with students expected to construct well-organized essays that demonstrate creativity and logical flow. The oral component requires greater fluency and confidence, as students must articulate their thoughts clearly in response to stimulus-based conversations. Without consistent practice, these challenges can become overwhelming.

– Understanding and applying advanced grammar rules
– Expanding their vocabulary to include more expressive words
– Comprehending longer and more complex passages
– Structuring their thoughts effectively in essay writing
– Expressing ideas fluently and confidently in oral exams
Additionally, some students may lack a strong foundation in earlier levels, making it harder to keep up with the increasing expectations. Without proper guidance, they may feel discouraged and lose interest in the subject.

However, do note that the availability of the tutor may not be guaranteed. Our Coordinators will be swift to advice you on the availabilities of the requested tutor and recommend any similar tutors that may be available if needed.
Can I trust the Primary 5 Chinese tutors provided by SmileTutor?
In 2019, we introduced Quality Score™ which is our proprietary system that grades over 30,000 tutors based on multiple factors such as profile completeness, recent job acceptance, track records, parent reviews, and more. With this system, we are able to ensure that parents & students are constantly matched with the cream of the crop tutors in Singapore. Since we have introduced this system, the quality of our tutors have improved and our numbers of compliments had increased tremendously.
SmileTutor treats the credibility of our tutor profiles very seriously. All suspicious tutor applications or profiles with missing information are immediately investigated and blacklisted. For tutees who wish to personally verify their tutor’s qualifications and identity, you may request that the tutor bring their relevant certificates on the 1st lesson. (We do not to send online documents due to privacy laws). For current school teachers, it is our SOP to remind tutors to bring teacher’s pass on their first lesson as a form of verification to give tutee a peace of mind.
Where are the Primary 5 Chinese tuition lessons conducted?
The Primary 5 Chinese tutoring lessons will be conducted at a pre-determined location according to your preference (usually at your home). If it is not convenient to have tuition conducted at your home, you may request for the tuition to be conducted somewhere else, such as the tutors home or at a convenient public location such as libraries, cafeterias, hostels, etc.
The location of the tuition lessons should be determined before the confirmation of lessons. Any change in address after lessons have started is subject to both parties approval.
How are lessons conducted?
One of the main benefits of private tutoring is that we do not adopt a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. Every Primary 5 Chinese tutor has their unique methodology, personality, and teaching style. During the prospecting phase, our coordinators do our due diligence to find out your child’s needs and weakest points in the Primary 5 Chinese subject in order to match the most suitable tutor.
Usually, the first lesson is a ‘getting to know’ phase, where tutors will gauge your child’s interest in the subject, current level of proficiency, and spot areas of weakness. From the second lesson onwards, tutors will generally be more prepared to conduct the lessons according to the student’s learning or syllabus.
If you are a more hands-on parent, you can also communicate with the tutor and provide suggestions on which area you’d like the tutor to focus more on (i.e. composition writing). As there are no fixed lesson plans or arrangements, both the clients and tutors are free to discuss and conduct their lessons in any way that benefits the student’s learning.
Can I postpone lessons dates & timings?
Yes, of course. However, all postponements of lessons must be made at least 24 hours in advance of lessons, except for special cases (such as medical emergencies).
For postponement of the first lesson, SmileTutor must be informed via phone call at +65 6266 4475 (Mon to Sun 9am-8pm). A confirmation SMS will be sent to you acknowledging your postponement after the call. However, if you are informing at least 48 hours in advance, an SMS made to +65 9014 4201 will suffice.
Postponements of lessons after the first lesson may be made directly between tutor and tutee.
Please note that failure to make a postponement at least 24 hours in advance may incur compensation to the tutor for time loss (e.g wasted trips). Generally, the compensation amount is 50% of 1-lesson fee.
Can I terminate lessons if the tutor is not suitable?
You may terminate the tuition at any time after the first lesson but must inform SmileTutor at least 24 hours in advance of the next lesson and must pay for all lessons conducted. Terminations made less than 24 hours before the lesson will incur a late charge of 50% of that lesson’s total fee.
Termination Procedure
1. Inform SmileTutor via a phone call to +65 6266 4475 (9am-8pm) at least 24 hours in advance before the next lesson
2. Pay for lessons conducted, half directly to SmileTutor and WhatsApp the receipt to our Finance Dept. at +65 9450 4390
3. Pay the other half directly to the tutor
However, note that once you have confirmed the assignment to book the tutor in quote, there is a binding contract to complete one full lesson and you may only request a change of tutor or terminate the tuition only after that 1st lesson. If you decide to change your mind before the 1st lesson even commenced, the fee for the unfinished first lesson may be charged as an administrative fee.
Will tutors postpone lessons?
SmileTutor does not encourage tutors to make frequent postponements to the lessons. However, we do encourage you to offer some degree of flexibility as tutors are also human and may fall sick or have sudden emergencies from time to time.
If the tutor we assigned to you happen to make postponements more frequently than you prefer, you may wish to communicate with them and remind them to stick to the usual lesson schedule. Sometimes, a simple effort to communicate between both parties can go a long way in avoiding any disruption in lessons or last-minute discrepancies.
If you face further difficulties with your tutor in this area, please feedback to us immediately and we will arrange a new tutor for you.
Can my tutor terminate the lessons?
For termination of lessons, tutors are expected to commit for at least the 4-weeks of tuition. If the tutor backs out of an assignment without a valid reason (e.g. illness) before completing at least 4-weeks of tuition, he/she will not be entitled to receive any tuition fees. i.e. You will only be required to pay 50% of the tuition fees (plus any applicable taxes) directly to the agency.
Unfortunately, we are unable to force tutors to commit for more than 4-weeks. However, we do encourage responsible behaviour and let our tutors know that they should do their best to commit at least until the end of year exams. Most of our tutors follow through.
What about adding of subjects or students (e.g siblings)?
You may wish to try out one subject first and then add more subjects subsequently. Or, when starting the tuition, you may find yourself wanting to increase the frequency of lessons or to engage the same tutor for your other children. In any of these cases, please make your request through the agency in order to stay protected and keep the tutor accountable to the agency.
SmileTutor is not responsible for any engagements made outside of the agency’s knowledge. Hence, tutors and tutees are expected to inform their coordinators of any added lessons or changes to the lessons schedule/subjects/tutees immediately.
How do I feedback to SmileTutor regarding my good/bad experience?
You may email us at Email for any feedback or questions that are not answered under this FAQ.
For private feedback about the agency service, you may contact Rum (Founder) at 97558257 or email him at Rum Email.
We appreciate your help in providing us accurate feedback so as to improve our service and system.
