Struggling to adap to Sec 3 Science's Increasing Difficulty?
Challenges Faced By Secondary 3 Science Students
1. Increased Content Complexity And Depth
In Secondary 3, your child is introduced to more advanced scientific concepts, and the difficulty level ramps up. From diving into the structure of matter to exploring complex biological systems, the concepts become more detailed and require a stronger grasp of fundamental knowledge. Without a solid foundation, it’s easy for students to feel overwhelmed by new terminologies and complex ideas. At SmileTutor, we provide the support your child needs to master these concepts, ensuring they’re well-prepared for future challenges.
2. Application Of Concepts To Problem-Solving
Secondary 3 Science isn’t just about memorizing facts – students are now required to apply their knowledge to problem-solving. This shift from basic recall to real-world application can be tricky for many students, especially those still developing their critical thinking skills. At SmileTutor, we guide students through practical examples, helping them apply theoretical concepts to solve problems with ease. Our tutors work closely with your child to build their analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
3. Preparing For More Challenging Assessments
The jump in assessment difficulty from Secondary 2 to 3 can be overwhelming for many students. With more challenging exam questions and higher expectations for conceptual understanding, it’s easy for your child to feel unprepared. SmileTutor’s Secondary 3 Science tuition focuses on building your child’s confidence through exam practice and strategic learning techniques. We ensure they’re ready for the increased complexity of their assessments and provide the tools they need to succeed.

What Makes Private Secondary 3 Science Tuition Different from Tuition Centres?
1. Customized Learning Pathway
Private Secondary 3 Science tuition gives your child a tailored approach, targeting their exact gaps in knowledge. Whether it’s struggling with basic Chemistry concepts or understanding the fundamentals of physics, a one-on-one tutor ensures no part of the syllabus is overlooked.
2. Focused Clarification of Challenging Concepts
In a private setting, your child can get detailed, patient explanations of tricky topics like atomic structures or forces in motion. This focused attention helps students truly understand the material, rather than just memorizing formulas or facts.
3. Pacing That Matches Their Speed
Unlike in tuition centres where the pace is often dictated by the group, private lessons adapt to your child’s learning style and speed. Whether they need extra time on certain topics or are ready to move ahead, the tutor adjusts the lesson structure to match their needs.

Secondary 3 Science Tuition Pricing FAQs
What Are The Differences Between The Types Of Secondary 3 Science Tutors Available?
To simplify things, we group our tutors into three main tutor categories:
– Part-Time Secondary 3 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 Secondary 3 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.
– Secondary 3 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 Secondary 3 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 Secondary 3 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 Secondary 3 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 Private Secondary 3 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.

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 will would like to show my appreciation and give my highest compliment to your agency recommended tutor Mr Parvinder Singh “E1201BA” whom is tutoring my son for his Additional Mathematics. Mr Singh is a very dedicated, responsible, patient and very knowledgeable tutor, helping my son not only understand but enjoy a difficult subject that he had always hate most. Throughout his Sec 3, his grades is always hovering around D8 and F9. However, with Mr Singh’s great guidance and his unique way of teaching as well as his extra miles/efforts to compile summary notes for each topic, it had make subject much easier to understand and digest. My son scored well in his recent SA2 examination, with a remarkable grade of A2 within just 4 months of tutoring. Mr Singh is also a very caring tutor whom had never fail to send my son encouraging message to wish good luck for his paper and even spending extra effort to impart the correct strategy how to tackle the examination if he faces problem. This is something it never happen before with the previous tutor. I am extremely grateful to Mr Singh and your agency to recommend such a excellent tutor to us. Please express my gratitude and appraised him for being such a dedicated and caring teacher. Thank you so much! 5 BIG STARS rating for him!!!

We also focus on laws of motion in Physics and the fundamentals of light and sound waves. A strong grasp of these topics will help your child succeed in both their exams and upcoming O-Level years.
How Can I Support My Child In Managing Both Schoolwork And Science Tuition?
At SmileTutor, we work with your child’s school schedule to ensure that our lessons complement their learning without overwhelming them. Our tutors create a balanced, customized tuition plan that fits seamlessly into your child’s routine, making learning Science enjoyable and effective while reducing stress.
Should My Child Focus On Improving Their Science Grades Or Work On Their Weak Subjects?
While it’s essential to strengthen weak subjects, focusing on improving overall Science comprehension and building confidence is equally important. SmileTutor’s Secondary 3 Science tutors work on both boosting your child’s strengths and addressing areas that need improvement, creating a holistic approach to learning.
How do I request for a Secondary 3 Science tutor?

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.

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 Sec 3 Science 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 Secondary 3 Science tuition lessons conducted?
The Secondary 3 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 Secondary 3 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 Secondary 3 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.
