Feeling Stuck in Sec 3 Chemistry? Let’s Turn That Around!
Challenges Faced By Sec 3 Chemistry Students
1. Building A Strong Foundation For O-Level Chemistry
In Sec 3, students are beginning to transition from the basic concepts of science to the more structured and challenging content of O-Level Chemistry. For many, the difficulty lies in understanding key principles like atomic structure, chemical reactions, and bonding. This transition requires students to shift from memorizing isolated facts to thinking more critically about how chemical concepts are interconnected. It can be overwhelming for students to move beyond surface-level knowledge and begin developing a deeper understanding of the subject.
2. Managing The Pace Of The O-Level Syllabus
The O-Level Chemistry syllabus in Sec 3 can feel fast-paced, and students often struggle to keep up with the volume of content they need to master. Balancing schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and other responsibilities can make it challenging to dedicate enough time to Chemistry. Effective time management and consistent revision are crucial for Sec 3 students to stay on top of the syllabus and develop the skills they need for O Levels.
3. Grasping The Relationship Between Theory And Practical Application
At this stage, students are introduced to both theoretical concepts and practical experiments. For many, it can be difficult to bridge the gap between theory and hands-on experiments, especially when abstract ideas like the periodic table or chemical equations need to be applied in real-world contexts. Students must begin to understand how the concepts they learn in class translate into lab experiments, and develop the ability to think critically and problem-solve in practical settings.
The Solution - 1:1 Tutoring For Sec 3 Chemistry
Sec 3 Chemistry Doesn’t Have to Be a Mystery – We’ll Help You Crack It:
- Our tutors break down core Chemistry concepts into bite-sized, easy-to-understand chunks

What’s Unique About A 1-to-1 A Sec 3 Chemistry Tuition Class Versus A Generic Tuition Centre?
1. Personalised Learning Pace
In a 1-to-1 Sec 3 Chemistry tuition class, lessons are tailored to the student’s individual learning speed, ensuring they fully grasp concepts before moving on. This Personalised attention ensures no student falls behind, unlike in a generic tuition centre where the pace is set for the entire group.
2. Targeted Focus On Weak Areas
With 1-to-1 tuition, the tutor can focus exclusively on the student’s specific difficulties, offering targeted help on areas that need the most improvement. This ensures a more effective and efficient learning experience compared to the broad approach in a group setting at a tuition centre.
3. Strong Student-Tutor Relationship
A 1-to-1 class fosters a closer student-tutor relationship, allowing for open communication and a better understanding of the student’s strengths and weaknesses. This connection can significantly boost a student’s confidence and motivation, something that can be harder to achieve in the more impersonal setting of a tuition centre.

Sec 3 Chemistry Tuition Pricing FAQs
What Is The Difference Between The Types Of Sec 3 Chemistry Tutors Available?
To simplify things, we group our tutors into three main tutor categories:
– Part-Time Sec 3 Chem 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 3 Chem 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 3 Chem 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 Sec 3 Chemistry 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 3 Chemistry 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 3 Chem 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 Sec 3 Chem Tutors Recommended By SmileTutor?

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 3 Chemistry Tuition In Singapore
Why Is Sec 3 Chemistry Important For My Child’s Future Studies?
Sec 3 Chemistry lays the foundation for more advanced topics in later years, including O-Level Chemistry and even JC Chemistry. A strong grasp of the basics is essential for future success, and SmileTutor helps ensure your child understands key concepts early on.
Should My Child Start Sec 3 Chemistry Tuition Earlier In The Year Or Later?
It’s beneficial to start early, especially if your child struggles with certain concepts. Starting early ensures that they have enough time to build a solid foundation and prevents them from falling behind as the syllabus progresses.
How Can SmileTutor Help My Child Who Finds Sec 3 Chemistry Challenging?
SmileTutor’s tutors simplify complex topics using relatable examples and visual aids, breaking them down into easy-to-understand lessons. We provide extra practice and reinforce concepts to ensure your child builds confidence in tackling difficult material.
What Kind Of Results Can I Expect From Sec 3 Chemistry Tuition?
Results vary based on your child’s current understanding of the subject, but many students see noticeable improvements in their grades and understanding of key concepts after a few weeks of focused tuition. With consistent effort, your child will be well-prepared for the next stages of their Chemistry education.

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 3 Biology 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 3 Chemistry tuition lessons conducted?
The Sec 3 Chemistry 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 3 Chemistry 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 3 Chemistry 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.
