Need Help Mastering Secondary 5 Maths Before The O-Levels?
Challenges Faced by Secondary 5 Math Students
Secondary 5 is arguably the most challenging year for many students, due to the steep incline in the syllabus’s difficulty, on top of having to prepare for the O-Level exams. With abstract mathematical concepts such as calculus, logarithms, and complex numbers, students need a deep understanding of core principles to succeed. Without a strong grasp of these topics, students often feel the pressure of both mastering new material and revising past lessons.
The transition from N-Level to O-Level Mathematics presents a significant challenge for many students. The increased complexity of concepts, the faster pace of learning, and the higher expectations can be daunting. Students must adapt to a more rigorous learning environment and develop a deeper understanding of mathematical principles to succeed.
The increased workload and the pressure of approaching O-Level examinations can be overwhelming. Effective time management is crucial to ensure that students can keep up with the demanding pace of learning and dedicate sufficient time to revision and practice. Developing effective exam strategies, such as identifying key concepts, prioritizing questions, and managing exam anxiety, is essential for success in the O-Level Mathematics examinations.
Lastly, O-Level Mathematics introduces abstract concepts like calculus and vectors, which can be challenging for students to grasp and apply to real-world scenarios. These concepts often require a high level of abstract thinking and the ability to visualize and manipulate mathematical ideas.
Why Do Students Find Secondary 5 Math So Difficult?
Secondary 5 Mathematics presents several challenges for students. The increased complexity of topics like calculus and statistics can be overwhelming, demanding a deeper level of understanding and application. Students may struggle to grasp abstract concepts, apply them to unfamiliar problems, and manage the increased workload effectively. Additionally, the pressure to perform well in the O-Level examinations can significantly increase anxiety levels. Furthermore, bridging the gap between N-Level and O-Level mathematics requires a significant adjustment in terms of depth and complexity, which can be daunting for some students.

Secondary 5 Math Tuition Pricing FAQs
What Is The Difference Between The Types Of Secondary 5 Math Tutors Available?
To simplify things, we group our tutors into three main tutor categories:
– Part-Time Secondary 5 Math 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 Secondary 5 Math 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.
– Secondary School Math 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 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 5 Maths 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 Secondary 5 Mathematics 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 Secondary 5 Mathematics 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 Secondary 5 Maths tutors in Singapore. Since we have introduced this system, the quality of our Secondary 5 Maths 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.

Read lessFrequently Asked Questions About Secondary 5 Math Tuition In Singapore
How Can My Child Prepare For The O-Levels In Secondary 5 Math?
Preparing for the O-levels in Secondary 5 Math requires a structured approach. SmileTutor’s experienced tutors focus on strengthening core concepts and practicing past year papers. Through targeted revision and Personalised strategies, we ensure your child is ready to tackle the most challenging questions with confidence. Regular mock exams and feedback will help improve speed and accuracy under exam conditions.
Is it too late to start Secondary 5 Math tuition if my child is struggling?
It’s never too late to start! Even if your child is struggling with math, starting Secondary 5 Math tuition can help them catch up and prepare effectively for their O-Level exams. The key is to start as soon as possible to allow enough time to address gaps in knowledge, strengthen key concepts, and develop problem-solving strategies.
How do I choose between group tuition and private tutoring for Secondary 5 Math?
Both options have their benefits. Group tuition is often more affordable and allows students to learn in a collaborative environment. However, private tutoring offers a more tailored approach, focusing exclusively on your child’s individual needs, pacing, and areas of difficulty. If your child requires extra attention or is struggling with certain topics, private tuition can be a more effective option.
How Do I Help My Child With Math Anxiety Before The O-levels
Math anxiety can be alleviated with practice and the right mindset. SmileTutor’s tutors offer a supportive and non-judgmental environment where students can make mistakes and learn. Our tutors focus on breaking down complex problems into smaller, manageable steps, boosting your child’s confidence gradually.

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.

Our Coordinators will ensure that both parties agree on the lesson details and pricing before confirming the lessons.

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 Sec 5 Maths 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 Sec 5 Maths tuition lessons conducted?
The Sec 5 Maths 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 Sec 5 Maths 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 Sec 5 Maths 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.
