Is Your Child Struggling With IB Chinese?
Challenges Faced By IB Chinese Students
1. Complex Texts And Advanced Vocabulary
IB Chinese students often find themselves grappling with texts that are both dense and culturally rich. The syllabus includes a mix of classical and modern Chinese literature, which introduces complicated vocabulary, idioms, and cultural references. These texts can be difficult to understand, and students may struggle to decode the deeper meanings behind the words.
On top of that, many students face challenges in retaining and recalling these new words in different contexts. It’s not just about memorizing vocabulary; it’s about understanding the nuances and cultural significance behind it.
2. Essay Writing And Analytical Thinking
IB Chinese essay writing demands more than just surface-level knowledge. Students are expected to analyse themes, characters, and ideas in depth while constructing well-argued, coherent essays. This requires a high level of analytical thinking, which can be tough for students who are not used to expressing complex thoughts in Chinese.
Additionally, students need to support their arguments with evidence from the texts, which can be overwhelming if they’re not familiar with how to extract relevant points from literature. It’s a skill that takes time to develop and requires consistent practice.
3. Oral Presentations And Fluency
For many IB Chinese students, oral assessments are one of the most challenging parts of the curriculum. Presenting their ideas clearly in a second language can feel daunting, especially when the subject matter is complex or abstract. Many students struggle with fluency, nervousness, or organizing their thoughts on the spot.
This pressure can make it difficult for them to express themselves confidently, even if they understand the material. Effective oral communication requires practice and a certain comfort level, which takes time to develop, especially in a high-stakes assessment environment.

How Does Private IB Chinese Tuition Stand Out From Chinese Tuition Centres?
1.Personalised Learning Approach
Private IB Chinese tuition offers one-on-one lessons tailored to your child’s specific strengths and weaknesses, unlike group tuition centers. This individualised attention ensures that your child receives the focused support they need to thrive in IB Chinese, progressing at their own pace without feeling rushed or left behind.
2. Curriculum Customization
In private tuition, lessons are designed around the exact requirements of the IB Chinese syllabus, focusing on areas where your child needs the most help. This ensures that every lesson is relevant, targeted, and aligned with the exam’s expectations, offering a more effective and streamlined learning experience compared to the one-size-fits-all approach in tuition centers.
3. Flexible Scheduling and Environment
Private tuition offers much greater flexibility in scheduling, allowing lessons to be arranged at times that suit your child’s personal timetable. Additionally, studying in a quiet, one-on-one environment reduces distractions, helping students focus better and making learning more productive compared to a crowded classroom setting in tuition centers.

IB Chinese Tuition Pricing FAQs
What Is The Difference Between The Types Of IB Chinese Tutors Available?
To simplify things, we group our tutors into three main tutor categories:
– Part-Time IB 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 IB 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.
– IB 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 IB 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 IB 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 IB 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 IB 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.

Since we have introduced this system, the quality of our private IB 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 IB Chinese Tuition in Singapore

IB Chinese writing tasks often require students to articulate complex ideas clearly and accurately. SmileTutor helps students improve their writing through targeted lessons that focus on vocabulary expansion, sentence structures, and essay organization.
We guide students in writing compositions, formal letters, and creative responses, teaching them how to craft compelling, well-structured pieces. By providing Personalised feedback and regular writing practice, we ensure your child’s writing improves significantly and meets IB standards.
What makes IB Chinese different from other language programs?
IB Chinese focuses not only on language proficiency but also on cultural understanding, critical thinking, and the ability to interpret texts in-depth. SmileTutor’s tutors are equipped to guide your child through these complexities.
We emphasise cultural nuances, teach literary analysis, and help students develop critical thinking skills that are essential for succeeding in the IB Chinese program. Our lessons are designed to help students think beyond memorization and connect language to culture in meaningful ways.
How can SmileTutor’s IB Chinese tuition help my child tackle complex literary analysis?
Literary analysis in IB Chinese can be challenging, requiring students to understand deep themes, cultural references, and complex symbolism. SmileTutor’s tutors break down texts and guide students through the process of identifying key themes, literary devices, and underlying meanings.
We use a step-by-step approach that ensures students fully grasp the material and can analyse texts critically and effectively. With Personalised guidance, your child will gain the skills needed to excel in IB Chinese literary analysis.
What makes SmileTutor’s IB Chinese tutoring stand out from other options?

Our tutors provide tailored lessons that target specific areas of difficulty, offer constructive feedback, and create a supportive learning environment. This Personalised approach maximizes your child’s potential and prepares them for success in the IB Chinese program.
How do I request for a IB Chinese tutor?
Our slogan is “Efficient, effective, and easy” – our goal is to make your process of finding the perfect home tutor for your child as simple and painless as possible.
There are many avenues for you to request for a IB Chinese tutor with us and it takes less than 2 minutes to do so. The avenues as listed below:
– Phone Call: +65 6266 4475 (Mon to Sun 9am-8pm)
– Website: https://smiletutor.sg/find-tutor/
– WhatsApp: +65 94504390 (click for shortcut)
You can also send us a quick email through our contact form at the bottom of the page. Once we have received your enquiry, our coordinators will drop you a call within 1-12 hours.
Simply take 2 minutes to send us your request now and you can sit back and relax while we source for the perfect tutor for you.
How are the tutors assigned to me?
After making a request via our online platforms (Website, Instagram, Facebook or WhatsApp) or via the phone hotline (+65 6266 4475), our Tuition Coordinators will determine the best available tutor based on your stated preferences and will send you recommendations via SMS.
You can then ask any questions, request to speak with the tutor via conference call, ask for another recommendation or simply confirm the tutor. If you are uncomfortable with any details regarding the newly assigned tutor, you can always request for a different tutor. Our Coordinators will ensure that both parties agree on the lesson details and pricing before confirming the lessons.
Once you have confirmed a suitable tutor, we’ll send you the lesson details via a confirmation email and you can start preparing for your first lesson!
Can I request for a specific tutor?
Sure, if you have any tutors in mind, feel free to give us a call at +65 6266 4475 and let us know the information of the IB Chinese tutor you are looking for. As we have the most extensive database in Singapore, we may be able to find the tutor you are looking for.
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 IB Chinese tuition lessons conducted?
The IB 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 IB 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 IB 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.

Why Is IB Chinese Tuition Deemed As A Must By Parents?
1. Rigorous Curriculum Support
The IB Chinese curriculum is complex and requires a deep understanding of language, literature, and culture, making personalised tuition essential to help students master these challenging areas.
2. Individualised Attention
With IB Chinese’s high expectations, having one-on-one tutoring ensures students receive the focused attention they need to address specific weaknesses, improve their writing, and sharpen their oral skills.
3. Exam Preparedness
IB Chinese assessments are demanding, and private tuition equips students with strategies to handle reading comprehension, essay writing, and oral exams, boosting their confidence and performance.
By mastering IB Chinese, IB students are able to understand different perspectives and challenge their own beliefs. More than just academic success, this journey opens doors to a wider worldview, offering them tools to thrive in both academic and personal pursuits in an increasingly globalized world.
