Sec 4 Physics Tuition Pricing FAQs
What Are The Differences Between The Types Of Sec 4 Physics Tutors Available?
To simplify things, we group our tutors into three main tutor categories:
– Part-Time Sec 4 Physics 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 Sec 4 Physics 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.
– Sec 4 Physics 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 Sec 4 Physics 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 Sec 4 Physics 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 Sec 4 Physics 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Secondary 4 Physics Tuition In Singapore
How Can My Child Handle The Transition From Sec 3 to Sec 4 Physics?
The transition from Secondary 3 to Secondary 4 Physics can feel like a leap due to the increased complexity of the topics and the emphasis on mastering concepts for the O-Levels. To help manage this transition, students should focus on building a strong foundation from the very beginning. Sec 4 Physics often expands on topics learned in Sec 3, such as mechanics and waves, so students should review key concepts from the previous year.
Creating a structured study plan that gradually introduces more advanced material and provides time for consistent practice is vital. A tutor can help reinforce key concepts and provide tailored feedback to ensure students are on track as they build their understanding towards the exams.
How Can My Child Improve Their Performance In Physics Practicals For The O-Level Exams?
Physics practical exams require both theoretical understanding and hands-on skills. To prepare effectively, students should first ensure they understand the theory behind the practicals they will perform. Practicing with a variety of practical tasks—such as measuring variables, analyzing experimental data, and understanding common sources of error—can help students become more comfortable in the lab setting.
Regular practice with past practical exam questions allows students to familiarize themselves with the types of tasks they’ll face and improve their precision. Students should also review the appropriate units of measurement, methods of data recording, and error analysis techniques to ensure they perform confidently under exam conditions.
What Is The Best Way For My Child To Approach Sec 4 Physics Revision?
Effective Secondary 4 Physics revision involves more than just reviewing notes. Students should engage in active learning by solving problems, revising key concepts, and applying them to various scenarios. To maximize efficiency, it’s best to start revising early and break the syllabus into manageable chunks, focusing on one section at a time.
Regular practice with past exam papers is essential for getting used to the timing and difficulty of questions. A good revision strategy also involves reviewing common misconceptions and areas of weakness, so students can target those areas with additional practice. A mix of self-study and guided tutoring sessions can provide the best balance of independent and structured learning.
How Can My Child Improve Their Exam Techniques For Sec 4 Physics?
Sec 4 Physics exams require more than just knowledge of the subject; effective exam techniques can significantly impact a student’s performance. Students should practice time management by timing themselves during mock exams and learning how to allocate time appropriately between questions. It’s important for students to read each question carefully and understand what’s being asked before jumping into solving it.
Breaking down complex problems into smaller, simpler parts helps to prevent errors and ensures that students don’t miss any important steps. After completing the exam, students should review their answers, checking for mistakes or missing units, and refining their exam technique over time.

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 4 Physics tuition lessons conducted?
The Secondary 4 Physics 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 4 Physics 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 4 Physics 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.
