Struggling with O-Level Combined Science concepts? We’re here to help!
Challenges Faced by O Level Science Students
1. Difficulty in Understanding Complex Concepts
O Level Science encompasses a wide range of challenging concepts that can be difficult to grasp. From chemical bonding to the intricacies of human physiology, students often struggle with understanding the underlying principles. These abstract concepts require careful breakdown, and without a clear understanding, students can quickly become lost or frustrated, hindering their overall learning.
2. Time Management Struggles
With multiple science topics to cover and limited study time before exams, students often struggle to allocate enough time to each area. Balancing practical experiments, theory revision, and exam preparation can be overwhelming, and this time pressure often leads to incomplete revisions or last-minute cramming. This lack of preparation affects not only exam performance but also confidence in the subject.
3. Difficulty in Applying Knowledge to Real-World Situations
A common struggle for O Level Science students is being able to connect theoretical knowledge with real-world applications. Science exams often require students to solve problems or interpret data based on scenarios that mirror real-life situations. Without the ability to apply knowledge practically, students may find it difficult to understand the relevance of what they are learning and fail to showcase their full potential during assessments.
The Best Solution? Private O Level Science Tuition!
Our Comprehensive Plan To Understand O Level Science:
- Tailored lessons to address individual student needs and learning styles
- Experienced tutors with in-depth knowledge of the O Level Science curriculum
- Consistent progress tracking through mock exams and quizzes
- Real-world applications of scientific principles to increase relevance
- Effective time-management techniques to handle exam pressure
- Mastering critical thinking and problem-solving skills to approach O-Level Science
How 1-to-1 O Level Science Tutoring Trumps A Generic Science Tuition centre!
1. Tailored Learning Experience
In one-on-one O Level Science tuition, the focus is entirely on the individual student’s needs. Unlike generic tuition centres that follow a fixed curriculum for all, 1-to-1 sessions allow the tutor to tailor lessons to the student’s strengths and weaknesses. This customization helps identify specific areas for improvement, whether it’s understanding complex concepts like chemical reactions or mastering scientific inquiry skills. Students can learn at their own pace, ensuring no gaps are left in their understanding, which ultimately leads to stronger academic performance.
2. Instant Feedback and Clarification
One-on-one O Level Science tuition offers the advantage of real-time feedback. When students make mistakes or have misunderstandings, they receive immediate clarification from the tutor, preventing misconceptions from taking root. In contrast, in a group setting, feedback can be delayed, and students may not get the necessary attention to resolve their doubts. The Personalised nature of 1-to-1 tutoring helps students quickly understand where they went wrong, which boosts their confidence and ensures they grasp each concept before moving on to the next.
3. Focused Attention and Engagement
In a one-on-one setting, students have the tutor’s full attention, which creates a more engaging and interactive learning environment. Without the distractions of a classroom setting, students can ask questions freely and dive deeper into complex scientific concepts. Tutors can use various teaching strategies tailored to the student’s learning style, such as visual aids, practical experiments, or real-world applications. This focused attention helps keep students motivated and allows them to engage with the material more effectively, which is a major advantage over the generic, less Personalised approach at tuition centres.

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

I am grateful to have met Ms Lee Lye Siang during my search for a replacement science tutor through this agency, 6 months before O level commenced. My kids liked her style of teaching (not the Q&A) as she would revise the topics that were taught in school. I could see my kids being more confident in the subject and their grades also improved. Thank you Ms Lee.

Dear SmileTutor Agency Manager I’d like to give my highest compliment here to your agency recommended tutor Mr Parvinder Singh “D2411F” Mr Singh has been tutoring my son for his O levels Pure Chemistry this year. He’s a very patient, committed and dedicated tutor who motivates my son to do his best for the subject. He provides his own notes, practice questions and help my son to better structure his answer with keywords to score the marks. I’d highly recommend Mr Singh for your agency future Chemistry and/or Science assignments. His professionalism and vast knowledge in Chemistry will definitely benefit whoever students he coaches.

Ms Melvis is an excellent tutor. My son’s science prelims improved a lot through her guidance. Ms. Melvis goes above and beyond in helping my son. She let my son do extra revisions which she checks even outside my son’s tuition class. Ms. Melvis is very kind, good personality and super supportive. I give her a super excellent rating.

Break down complex concepts into manageable chunks, and practice regularly with past papers to familiarize yourself with the exam format and question types.

With Personalised study plans and step-by-step explanations, your child can grasp complex scientific concepts more easily. Tuition also Emphasises exam preparation, offering practice questions, mock exams, and revision techniques that are essential for achieving better results.
How often should my child attend O Level Science tuition classes?
The frequency of O Level Science tuition depends on your child’s current level of understanding and the time remaining before the exams. For most students, attending tuition once or twice a week is sufficient to keep up with the syllabus.
However, as exams approach, more frequent sessions may be beneficial to ensure your child is thoroughly prepared. Your tutor will help develop a tailored schedule that maximizes your child’s progress and exam readiness.
How can I ensure my child stays motivated during O Level Science tuition?
Motivating your child during O Level Science tuition is crucial to their success. A good tutor will engage your child with interactive lessons, real-life examples, and practical applications of scientific concepts. It’s important for the tutor to build your child’s confidence, provide regular feedback, and celebrate small victories along the way.

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 Science tuition lessons conducted?
The O Level Science 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 Science 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 Science 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.

At SmileTutor, we recognize that students need more than just academic support. Our experienced tutors focus on equipping students with skills, teaching them how to allocate time wisely for each section of the exam and how to approach different question types.
In addition to time management, our tutors emphasise the importance of developing exam-taking strategies that help students break down complex questions and pinpoint the key information. Our tutors work with students to methodically approach answering questions.
Our tutors also place a strong focus on practice and reinforcement. We provide students with ample opportunities to work on past papers, simulating exam conditions to help them become comfortable with the format and timing of the O Level Science exam.
Experienced in Building Conceptual Mastery
A great O Level Science tutor goes beyond just helping students memorise facts; they help students understand the concepts that form the foundation of each scientific discipline. It’s essential for students to comprehend the underlying principles behind these concepts.
This deeper understanding allows students to apply their knowledge more effectively, not only in their exams but also in real world. Tutors work with students to build a solid base of scientific knowledge, ensuring that the essential concepts are thoroughly understood.
To achieve this, an effective tutor breaks down complex theories into simpler, more manageable parts. Good tutors also make learning more engaging by using real-life examples, relatable analogies, and visual aids such as diagrams and models.
At SmileTutor, we prioritize a personalised approach to learning that caters to each student’s unique needs and learning style. We understand that every student learns differently, which is why our tutors employ interactive teaching methods to help students.
