Is JC Tuition neccessary to do well in A-Levels?
Challenges Faced by JC Students
Junior College (JC) is a two-year academic course that is certainly not an easy one. JC students face tremendous pressure since choosing the A-Level path ultimately leads to only one destination; the university. This kind of all or nothing, one-way trajectory keeps students in constant fear as the exam day draws near.
While a Polytechnic student graduates with a diploma and can secure a job, A-Level holders don’t have much choice when it comes to job prospects.
Junior college in Singapore is akin to a 2-year crash course for one of the most difficult exams in the world: The GCE A-Level Examinations. So it is critical students find a way to scale through successfully or face a troubling aftermath.
Fierce Competition from Academically-gifted students
JCs has always been viewed as the gateway to university level education by Singaporeans. Most parents prefer their child to go the JC route rather than the polytechnic route, as they want their child to have the best chance to becoming a university graduate in the future to secure good job prospects. 9 out of 10 JC students eventually make it into a uni, compared to just 1 out of 10 students for local polytechnics.
The problem is, with the recent merging of various junior colleges, there are now fewer than 25 JCs including Millennia Institute (MI). With so few schools and so many students wanting to enter JC, only the brightest and smartest students get to enter. It is becoming harder and harder to enter a good junior college.
A-level syllabus getting harder
Every year, the Ministry of Education (MOE) revises the A-level syllabus and generally makes it harder. The depth and breadth of subjects like H2 mathematics have been getting more advanced. The emphasis has also been increasingly placed on multi-disciplinary learning, with things like practical exams (e.g. JC Chemistry Paper 3) taking up a large weightage of the final result.
JC students can no longer score A’s just by pure memorization. Most questions require high-level critical thinking and general knowledge. One such example is H1 General Paper (GP). Even students who are good at English and scored A1 for O-level English can easily fail GP if they are not well-read and put in enough effort in researching massive amounts of topics, memorizing statistics and quotes to use in their essays.
Demanding schedule of the 2-year JC journey
Needless to say, JC students are super stressed and overworked. Perhaps, this is how MOE wants it to be – to sift out the ones who are truly smart, determined, and able to overcome pressure. Unfortunately, not all students are built to deal with such immense pressure. It is a sad thing that intelligent and confident young students who did extremely well for their O-levels can sometimes flunk their A-levels, lose all their confidence and self-esteem, and have nowhere to go. Many often resort to retaking the A-level examinations multiple times.
2 years in JC is a very, very short time. The sheer amount of coursework that needs to be covered means that JC lectures are very fast-paced and most of the learning takes place at home. Students often spend lecture-time just copying whatever the lecturer says, and then try to figure it all out at home after school.
Coupled with CCAs and community service requirements (these are important as well for university admission), JC students don’t have much time at all for themselves. In fact, the JC1 block test is in March, just two months after the start of JC life, and many JC students are shell-shocked when they receive multiple ‘U’ grades (‘U’ stands for ungraded, which is equivalent to ‘F9’ in O-levels)

Our Solution - 1:1 Private JC Tuition
Why You Should Choose JC Home Tuition:
- A Committed JC Tutor To Help Achieve In A-Level Results
- Close Knit Support With JC Syllabus And Schoolwork
- Overcome Fear Of Failure In A-Levels With JC Private Tuition
- Relatively Cheap JC Tuition With Affordable JC Tuition Rates
- Innovative Approach To Study And Cope With Academic Challenges
- Winning Formula And Techniques For Acing A-Levels
While your child may prefer going to a tuition centre for an opportunity to meet new people, make new friends and study with students of like mind, private tuition cuts through every ‘feel-good’ distraction and focuses exclusively on helping your child prepare well for and ace the A-Levels.
As the degree of difficulty in A-Levels increases each year, the questions and concepts required gets more and more complex. This is why your child needs an excellent tutor who has the necessary materials such as past year JC exam papers, who keeps up to date with new requirements and who teaches your child exactly how to analyse , work around tough problems, and pinpoint mistakes they’re overlooking – on a one-to-one level.
Super-difficult curriculum and exams
As compared to O-levels, the JC curriculum and A-level exam difficulty is on a whole new level. Although there are fewer subjects that students have to take, an A-level subject has roughly 5x more breadth and is much more in-depth than an O-level subject. From our experience, a 5-mark mathematics question in O-level, is basically only 1-mark for JC maths. One single mistake would often result in zero marks the entire question!
JC students have to learn a completely new subject in General Paper, which involves a different style of expository essays combined with lots of reading for general knowledge. Economics, another common subject, is totally new to students who are not from Integrated Programme (IP) stream. Then, with 3 other core H2 subjects, Mother Tongue GCE ‘A’ level examinations, and also the compulsory dread Project Work (PW). These add up to an incredibly difficult and strenuous JC journey.
If you notice your child struggle with the massive, it is imperative to start considering to engage a private JC tutor.
So what are your options for JC Tuition Singapore?
The options of Singapore JC Tuition varies widely. There are lots of tuition centres for JC around, as well as home tutors for JC. Singaporeans are often misguided by the slightly cheaper JC tuition rates offered by learning centres – majority of these centres conduct JC group tuition. That means that one single tutor will teach between 5-40 students at once!
Paying between $40/h for neighbourhood JC tuition centres to up to $100/h for more “branded” ones is not really a smart choice as you can get a PRIVATE JC tutor for as low as $50/h from SmileTutor. A JC home tutor will not just accommodate your preferred schedule and travel to your house – your child gets 100% of the tutor’s attention! With such difficult subjects, it is best to have 1-to-1 tutoring sessions for your child to ask as many questions as possible rather than sit through yet another lecture.
If you’re considering enrolling your child into a tuition centre, you must also factor in the fact that your child would have to travel all the way to the centre. Depending on where the centre is located, this can take between 15 minutes to an hour, or more. With JC home tuition, your child’s tutor does all the traveling, and brings to the table practical tips and teaching methodologies for excelling in A-Levels, unique to your child’s specific needs.

JC Tuition Pricing FAQs
Why Do Tutors Charge Different Rates Even Though They're All Teaching JC?
SmileTutor does not dictate tuition rates for JC tuition or any other level. Each tutor sets their own prices depending on their qualifications, experience, and many other factors such as student’s level, location, timing etc.
However, when arranging the JC tuition for you, our experienced coordinators will ensure that the rates are fair and within market rates for JC tuition. We also conduct negotiation when required to try to reduce lessons fees in order to fit within your budget when necessary.
You may view the latest tuition rates here.
Do I Have To Pay Any Commission Fees for My Child's JC Tutor?
Our services are free-of-charge for parents and students. You are only required to pay for 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 secondary school private 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 private 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.
How Do I Pay For Lessons For The Private JC Tuition?
In general, the agency commission charged to the tutor is 2-weeks of active lessons. Payment of the agency commission will be made directly to SmileTutor after the completion of a certain number of lessons whereby the lesson fees equal or exceed the agency commission amount. After you may paid the agency commission, you may pay your JC school child’s tutor directly for subsequent lessons in any method preferred by both parties
Do take note that our services are completely free for you. By paying directly to SmileTutor, you are merely helping us to facilitate the collection process of the agency commission from the tutor. There are no additional / hidden fees you need to pay other than the mentioned lesson rates.
We accept various modes of payment including credit/debit card, online transfer, cheque, and cash. Our Coordinators will inform you of the full payment details during your tutor request.
Example: Client Mary hires JC Level Tutor for $60/lesson at 1 lesson per week. The agency commission is $120 (equivalent to 2 lessons). After Tutor has conducted two lessons, Client Mary transfers to SmileTutor $120. Then, from the 3rd lesson onwards, she is to pay Tutor directly. The arrangement made between Mary and the tutor is to pay every 4-lessons via bank transfer.
Is Advance Payment Needed For The Booking of My JC Tuition For My Child?
You do not have to make advance payments of any kind. All payments are made only after the requisite lessons have been conducted.
Are There Any Binding Contracts With SmileTutor Or The Private Home Tutor for JC?
There are no contracts and obligations until you agree to engage our tutors for JC level or at any level. 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.

The academic rigour significantly increases, demanding a deeper understanding of complex subjects and a heavier workload. Students grapple with managing time effectively amidst increased academic pressure, while also navigating social and personal commitments. The transition to JC can be challenging, requiring adaptation to new teaching styles and a demanding academic environment.
How Do I Know If My Child Needs Help With JC Subjects?
Recognizing when your child needs academic support during their Junior College (JC) journey is crucial. Observe for signs such as declining grades, increased anxiety or stress, difficulty completing assignments, loss of interest in studies, frequent procrastination, and difficulty understanding key concepts.

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 JC tuition lessons conducted?
The JC 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 JC 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 JC 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.
