Is A-Level Literature Proving to Be a Challenge for Your Child?
Challenges Faced by A-Level Literature Students
A-Level Literature is often considered one of the most demanding subjects by students. The complexity of literary texts, especially works by iconic authors like William Shakespeare, can be overwhelming. Shakespeare’s intricate language, unusual sentence structures, and complex themes can leave students frustrated, especially if they lack a strong foundation in the subject or have not yet developed the necessary analytical skills.
Instead of letting your child struggle with deciphering challenging quotes or losing valuable time on difficult texts, consider getting them the support they need from a skilled, private literature tutor. A dedicated tutor can break down these difficult concepts, helping students gain clarity and confidence in understanding and interpreting complex literary works.
While Literature may seem manageable at lower secondary levels, the challenges increase at the upper-secondary and A-Level stages. At this point, students must choose between subjects like Geography, History, or Literature, and often, Literature is seen as the most intimidating option. This can be attributed to the fact that many students fear the depth of analysis required or struggle with the advanced texts they must study.
Understanding and analyzing famous quotes, like Shakespeare’s “To thine own self be true…” is no small feat for any student. Without the right guidance, it can feel like an insurmountable challenge. Unlike tuition centers that may overwhelm students with large class sizes, SmileTutor provides focused, Personalised lessons with experienced A-Level Literature tutors in Singapore. Our tutors are passionate, patient, and committed to helping your child master the subject, equipping them with the skills needed to excel and achieve their desired grades. Reach out today to start their journey toward academic success!

A-Level Literature Tuition Pricing FAQs
What is the difference between the type of A-Level Literature tutors available?
To simplify things, we group our tutors into three main tutor categories:
– Part-Time A-Level Literature 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 A-Level Literature 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.
– A-Level Literature 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 A-Level Literature 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 A-Level Literature 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 A-Level Literature 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 A Level Literature 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 A-Level Literature tutors in Singapore. Since we have introduced this system, the quality of our private A-Level Literature 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.

Ms Athena Thang is very passionate, patients, and detailed tutor. She has great interest in English literature, which shows in my son’s lessons. She can also communicate what is taught clearly, and my son is able to understand the content and techniques taught in class. Her tailored method of teaching and her enthusiasm helps my son apply these skills and sustain interest in the lesson. Athena is approachable and also professional. She comes prepared for lessons and makes sure my son is prepared. She does this by making sure my son can recall previous content taught before and after class. This helps my son to reinforce what was learnt and shows her attention to detail regarding content curation in lessons, and my son’s needs to improve.

I was tutored by Natalie for the past 3 months and under her expert guidance and strong mastery of the subject ( English Literature), I was able to excel in the exams. She taught in a way that made the complex subject easier to grasp and understand. As an educator, she is patient, caring and responsible. She ensured that I spent time practising my writing, and gave me very useful writing tips to ace in my examinations. I was finally able to apply my knowledge of the subject and in my final exams, I scored a distinction in English Literature. I am very appreciative of Ms Natalie who tutored me and enabled me to do well in the exams. Thanks Smiletutor for the great recommendation!!

My children have been struggling in their studies and I had no idea how to teach them. With SmileTutor, they were able to find a suitable tutor for my children and their grades have become better. I would most certainly recommend SmileTutor as I am sure it will make a big impact for children’s grades.

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 A-Level Literature tuition lessons conducted?
The A-Level Literature 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 A-Level Literature 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 A-Level Literature 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.

Writing Skills & Exam Strategy
SmileTutor’s tutors understand the critical importance of strong essay writing skills for A Level Literature. They focus on helping students organize their thoughts clearly. Teaching them how to structure essays, ensuring their ideas flow logically from start to finish.
In addition to structure, tutors emphasise the importance of analyzing texts in-depth. They guide students on how to break down key passages and use evidence to support their arguments, teaching them to link literary devices to the themes of the texts.
This helps students develop a more analytical and persuasive writing style. Inside every analysis session, students engage in discussions that allow them to uncover deeper meanings and sharpen their critical thinking skills, essential for literary success.
Inside practice sessions, students simulate exam conditions, learning how to manage time efficiently while still producing thoughtful, well-structured essays. With consistent practice and expert feedback, students gain the skills needed to excel in their literature exams.
