Challenges Faced by O-Level Chinese Students
1. O-Level Listening Comprehension
O-Level Chinese listening exams often present significant challenges for students. The rapid pace of the spoken content, coupled with complex sentence structures and unfamiliar vocabulary, can make it difficult to comprehend the information fully. Furthermore, the diverse regional accents found within the Chinese language can hinder understanding, as students may struggle to recognize and interpret unfamiliar pronunciations and vocabulary.
To overcome these obstacles, students can implement several effective strategies. Regular practice is essential, as it allows students to become accustomed to the fast pace of the exam and develop a better understanding of regional accents.
2. O-Level Essay Writing
O-Level Chinese essay writing presents several challenges for students. Essay topics often require students to express their opinions on complex issues, which can be difficult for those who are unsure about their viewpoints or unfamiliar with the subject matter. The limited word count forces students to be concise and prioritize their ideas, potentially sacrificing depth of analysis. Accurate grammar and vocabulary are essential for effective communication, while a clear and coherent structure is crucial for presenting a well-organized argument. To overcome these obstacles, students should practice writing regularly, brainstorm ideas before writing, proofread their essays carefully, and seek feedback from teachers or peers. By addressing these challenges, students can improve their essay writing skills and increase their chances of success in the O-Level Chinese exam.
3. O-Level Oral Exam
The O-Level Chinese oral exam presents several challenges for students. Fluency, pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary are all essential components of a successful performance. Students must speak naturally and without hesitation, pronounce words accurately, use correct grammar and vocabulary, and demonstrate a deep understanding of the topics discussed. To overcome these challenges, students should practice speaking regularly, record themselves to identify areas for improvement, expand their language knowledge, and practice discussing a variety of topics. By addressing these areas, students can enhance their oral communication skills and increase their chances of achieving a high score in the O-Level Chinese oral exam.

What’s unique about a 1-to-1 O-Level Chinese Tuition class versus an O-Level Chinese Tuition centre?
1. Comfortable Learning Speed
One of the key benefits of 1-on-1 O-Level Chinese tuition is the ability to learn at your own pace. Unlike in traditional classrooms, where students may feel pressured to keep up with the group, 1-on-1 tutoring allows you to progress at a comfortable speed. This Personalised approach helps to reduce stress, increase motivation, and ensure that you receive the support you need. By adjusting the pace of the lessons to your individual learning style and needs, your tutor can create a more engaging and effective learning experience.
2. Productive Learning Environment
In addition to the flexibility it offers in terms of learning pace, 1-on-1 O-Level Chinese tuition also provides a platform for open and honest discussion. Unlike in larger classroom settings, where students may feel hesitant to ask questions or express their concerns, 1-on-1 tutoring creates a safe and supportive environment where students can freely communicate with their tutor. This open dialogue allows students to clarify doubts, seek additional explanations, and discuss their learning challenges without feeling embarrassed or judged.
3. Time Efficient
One of the most significant advantages of home tuition is the elimination of travel time. This means more time for studying and less time commuting. Additionally, the comfort and familiarity of your own home can create a stress-free and productive learning environment. Home tuition also offers flexibility in scheduling, allowing you to choose a time that works best for you. And with a Personalised setting, you can customize your learning experience to suit your individual needs and preferences.

O-Level Chinese Tuition Pricing FAQs
What is the difference between the type of O-Level Chinese tutors available?
To simplify things, we group our tutors into three main tutor categories:
– Part-Time O-Level Chinese Tutors – refers to private tutors who doing it part-time. Most of the 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 home tuition in Singapore.
– Full-Time O-Level Chinese Tutors – refers to full-time private 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.
– O-Level Chinese School Teachers – refers to ex/current school teachers either from MOE or from private and international schools. 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 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 O-Level 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 O-Level 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 O-Level 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 O-Level Chinese tutors recommended by SmileTutor?
In 2019, we introduced Quality Score™ which is our proprietary system that grades over 50,000 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 O Level Chinese tutor in Singapore. Since we have introduced this system, the quality of our private O Level Chinese 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.

The agency was able to note my concerns and assign a good profile fit, even arranging for an interview session with the potential tutor to assess her suitability and comfort with teaching my child. Ms Angelya was assigned and though she is a part time tutor, she understood the syllabus well and was able to guide my child patiently through and building good rapport with my child to overcome difficulty with the Chinese language.

Read lessFrequently Asked Questions about O-Level Chinese Tuition in Singapore
Is O-Level Chinese a difficult subject?
O-Level Chinese can be very subjective in terms of difficulty. However, in recent years, it is definitely becoming more challenging and advanced which can prove to be a difficult subject to score in. Students need to understand formulas AND also memorise them by applying it to problems which they have to solve.
Even if students rely on memorization, when they encounter more advanced problems, they still might get stuck.
Why do students struggle with O-Level Chinese?
Some students might struggle with Singapore O-Level Chinese more than the rest because they go into the subject already feeling like they will not be able to solve it. The mental block can prove to be daunting for many.
A negative mindset can turn into a vicious cycle of low confidence as well as poor performance. Practicing in O-Level Chinese is also crucial in improving. It takes a lot of patience on themselves in order to see improvements.
How do I know if my child needs help with O-Level Chinese?
Singapore O-Level Chinese is one of the subjects where they will be studying throughout being in school. If you notice that your child has been failing tests or exams, and is always stressed out when it comes to O-Level Chinese homework, then maybe it is time to consider engaging a tutor.
How can O-Level Chinese Tuition help?
O-Level Chinese home tuition can help in students’ confidence by teaching them techniques to problem solve. Private O-Level Chinese tuition can also strengthen subject understanding. It also keeps students on track by giving individualised attention to them. On top of that, it forces them to practice at least 2-3 hours a week. If your child is already struggling in O-Level Chinese, chances are they will avoid the subject as much as they can.

Alternatively, you may view some of our latest available tutors at our ‘View Tutors’ page. From this page you can do some DIY sourcing and indicate your interest directly there. 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.
Where are the O-Level Chinese tuition lessons conducted?
The O-Level 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 O-Level 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 O-Level 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.

Why is O-Level Chinese Tuition So Popular Amongst Parents?
1. Difficult Subject to Master
Unlike English, Chinese has a complex writing system with thousands of characters. Additionally, Chinese is a tonal language, meaning the meaning of a word can change based on the tone used. This can be particularly difficult for non-native speakers who may struggle to distinguish between subtle tonal variations.
2. Weak Foundation
As many families do not speak chinese on a regular basis, many students have a weak foundation when it comes to speaking and expressing themselves. This weakness shows up very strongly during Chinese oral examinations where students often mix their explanations with English.
3. Limited Help From School
Due to large class sizes, students are often unable to have their doubts and questions clarified. As a result, many of them end up guessing answers and meanings during their exams which leads to poor grades .
Unlike other essay-based subjects, O-Level Chinese essays require a unique approach. Students must analyse complex topics, construct coherent arguments, apply Chinese language concepts to real-world scenarios, and evaluate different perspectives. There are no simple answers to memorize. Students must think critically, analyse data, and communicate their ideas effectively in Chinese to achieve high marks.
