Overcoming Initial Hurdles in Primary 1 Science
1. Relating to Real Life
Young learners often struggle to see how scientific concepts apply to their everyday experiences. This disconnect can make Science feel abstract or irrelevant. By using familiar, real-life examples—like melting ice cream to explain states of matter—tutors help bridge the gap between theory and reality.
2. Maintaining Interest
Keeping Primary 1 students engaged throughout a Science lesson is crucial for effective learning. At this age, attention spans are short, so hands-on activities, storytelling, and simple experiments are powerful tools to spark curiosity. Interactive learning not only captures their attention but also encourages active participation and better retention.
3. Abstract Concepts
Some scientific ideas, like the water cycle or magnetism, are difficult for young minds to visualize and understand. These concepts can feel intangible without the right teaching methods. Tutors use visual aids, demonstrations, and concrete examples to break down complex ideas into digestible and relatable parts for young learners.

Primary 1 Science Tuition Pricing FAQs
What is the difference between the type of Primary 1 Science tutors available?
To simplify things, we group our P1 tutors into three main tutor categories:
– Part-Time Primary 1 Science Tutors – refers to private P1 tutors who doing it part-time. Most of the P1 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. P1 Part-time tutors are the cheapest option for Pri 1 home tuition in Singapore.
– Full-Time Primary 1 Science Tutors – refers to full-time private P1 tutors who teach as a profession. Full-time P1 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.
– Primary 1 Science School Teachers – refers to ex/current school teachers either from MOE or from private and international schools. P1 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 P1 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 Primary 1 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 P1 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 Primary 1 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 Primary 1 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 do I know I can rely on SmileTutor’s P1 Science tutors?
In 2019, we introduced Quality Score™ which is our proprietary system that grades over 30,000 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 Primary 1 Science tutors in Singapore. Since we have introduced this system, the quality of our Primary 1 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.

Never thought I can get such wonderful service. Honestly, I was little worried of getting a good tutor for my kid and so looking for an option/service from where I can get a home tutor searching from my home. Find several options over online though, but I’m lucky enough to select the right one and that is Smile Tutor. Hope to continue enjoying their service and consider to get another home tutor when my little baby girl will get a little older 😉

Read lessFrequently Asked Questions about Primary 1 Science Tuition in Singapore
Is Primary 1 Science a difficult subject?
Primary 1 Science can be very subjective in terms of difficulty. However, in recent years, Primary 1 Science is definitely becoming more challenging and advanced which can prove to be a difficult subject to score in. Students need to understand formulas AND also memorise them by applying it to problems which they have to solve.
Even if students rely on memorisation, when they encounter more advanced problems, they still might get stuck.
Why do students struggle with Primary 1 Science?
Some students might struggle with Primary 1 Science more than the rest because they go into the subject already feeling like they will not be able to solve it. The mental block can prove to be daunting for many.
A negative mindset can turn into a vicious cycle of low confidence as well as poor performance. Practicing in Primary 1 Science is also crucial in improving. It takes a lot of patience on themselves in order to see improvements.
How do I know if my child needs help with Primary 1 Science?
Primary 1 Science is one of the subjects where they will be studying throughout being in school. If you notice that your child has been failing tests or exams, and is always stressed out when it comes to Primary 1 Science homework, then maybe it is time to consider engaging a tutor.
How can Primary 1 Science tuition help?
Primary 1 Science tuition can help in students’ confidence by teaching them techniques to problem solve. Primary 1 Science tuition can also strengthen subject understanding. It also keeps students on track by giving individualised attention to them. On top of that, it forces them to practice at least 2-3 hours a week. If your child is already struggling in Primary 1 Science, chances are they will avoid the subject as much as they can.

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 Primary 1 Science tuition lessons conducted?
The Primary 1 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 Primary 1 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 Primary 1 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.

Why Do Many Singaporean Parents Choose Primary 1 Science tuition?
1. Introduction to Science Concepts
At the Primary 1 level, Science tuition is popular because it introduces young learners to basic scientific concepts in a fun and engaging manner. This early exposure helps spark curiosity and interest in the subject, setting a positive tone for future learning.
2. Personalised Attention
Tuition provides Personalised attention that may not always be possible in a classroom setting. This one-on-one interaction helps build confidence in young students who are just beginning their academic journey.
3. Encouraging Inquiry-Based Learning
Tuition centers often employ inquiry-based learning techniques, encouraging children to ask questions and explore the world around them. This approach nurtures a love for learning and discovery from an early age.
At this early stage, children may notice if their peers understand things faster, leading to self-doubt and hesitation. This can affect their willingness to participate or ask questions. Building confidence through encouragement and playful learning is key to helping them enjoy and succeed in science.
Consider patience, engagement, and experience
Let's collaborate to support your child's success
Encouraging Curiosity
Curiosity is the spark that drives young learners to explore and ask questions about the world around them. In Primary 1 Science tuition, nurturing this natural curiosity is key to building a strong foundation. At SmileTutor, we encourage discovery in every lesson.
Through engaging experiments and real-world examples, students learn that science is not just a subject, but a way to understand everyday life. When children see how science connects to things they love—like animals or plants—they become more eager to learn.
Tutors at SmileTutor are trained to guide, allowing students to take the lead in their learning. By encouraging them to think critically and explore different outcomes, students develop confidence in their ideas. Helping them grow into curious learners.
Curiosity-driven learning not only improves understanding but also boosts motivation and long-term interest in science. When students feel excited to find answers, they naturally perform better in school. With SmileTutor, learning becomes an adventure.

Sparking Imagination
Imagination plays a big role in helping young children make sense of science. In Primary 1 Science tuition, sparking imagination allows students to visualise concepts and think beyond the textbook. At SmileTutor, we use a variety of method to bring science to life.
When students are encouraged to imagine how things work—like how a seed grows —they begin to engage with science in a creative way. This helps them form deeper connections with the material. Imagination makes abstract ideas feel exciting and relatable.
Our tutors use interactive methods such as drawing, and simple experiments to fuel a child’s natural creativity. These methods not only make learning fun but also help students retain what they’ve learned. Science becomes a world to explore.
By combining imagination with scientific thinking, students learn to ask big questions and explore big ideas. This creative foundation builds both their understanding and enthusiasm for the subject. Your child’s imagination can be a powerful tool in their science journey.
