Overcoming Academic Pressures in Primary 5 Science
1. Complex Theories
Primary 5 students are introduced to more advanced scientific theories, which can sometimes feel overwhelming. Concepts like electrical systems or reproduction in living things require a strong grasp of prior knowledge. Tutors can ease this pressure by breaking down each topic into manageable parts, using visuals and step-by-step explanations to build understanding gradually.
2. Scientific Writing
Expressing scientific ideas clearly in writing can be a challenge for many students at this level. They often struggle to structure their answers and use proper scientific terminology. With regular writing practice and feedback, students can improve both clarity and confidence in their responses, especially for open-ended questions.
3. Experiment Design
Designing their own experiments allows students to apply what they’ve learned, but it can be a daunting task. They may find it difficult to form hypotheses or plan step-by-step procedures independently. Providing guidance and examples helps students understand the process, promoting deeper engagement and analytical thinking.

Primary 5 Science Tuition Pricing FAQs
What is the difference between the type of Primary 5 Science tutors available?
To simplify things, we group our P5 tutors into three main tutor categories:
– Part-Time Primary 5 Science Tutors – refers to private P5 tutors who doing it part-time. Most of the P5 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. P5 Part-time tutors are the cheapest option for home tuition in Singapore.
– Full-Time Primary 5 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 P5 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 P5 full-time tutor can vastly differ between individuals, hence so does the tuition rate they command.
– Primary 5 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 P5 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 5 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 Primary 5 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 P5 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 5 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 Primary 5 Science tutors recommended by SmileTutor?
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 5 Science tutors in Singapore. Since we have introduced this system, the quality of our Primary 5 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 delighted to share my positive experience with Teacher Rowan Kan who has been providing P6 science lessons for my twins since early this year. His engaging and effective teaching methods have significantly enhanced my children’s understanding of science concepts. Rowan has also created a supportive learning environment, tailoring lessons to address my children needs and ensuring a strong grasp of foundational principles. I’ve observed notable improvements in my children’s academic performance and enthusiasm for science. I highly recommend him for his expertise, patience and commitment to fostering a love for learning.

Needed a tutor for my niece but did not know which company to go to as there was so many agencies online! Happen to chance upon SmileTutor.sg and I am very happy with their service. I had some specific requirements for the tutor and the coordinator who spoke with me was very professional and took time to understand my needs! Last Sunday was the first session and my niece really liked the tutor and have been asking me when she is coming again! Am ultimately very happy with their service.

Never have I expected that finding a private tutor can be so easy and quick, even for a niche subject/module! I was once very frustrated and gave up on looking for a tutor on my own, also because of my limited budget. But thank God, Smiletutor is very helpful in finding a good tutor within the budget too! 😀 Service is very very efficient! Got a call back about the tutor on the same day of my inquiry!!! They gave us a chance to even talk to the tutor first to make sure whether she is familiar with the subject. Highly recommended service! Will definitely refer Smiletutor to my friends/ juniors who need a private tutor 🙂 Send my regards to Jessy! (sorry if misspelled)

Read lessFrequently Asked Questions about Primary 5 ScienceTuition in Singapore
Is Primary 5 Science a difficult subject?
Primary 5 Science can be very subjective in terms of difficulty. However, in recent years, Primary 5 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 5 Science?
Some students might struggle with Primary 5 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 5 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 5 Science?
Primary 5 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 5 Science homework, then maybe it is time to consider engaging a tutor.
How can Primary 5 Science tuition help?
Primary 5 Science tuition can help in students’ confidence by teaching them techniques to problem solve. Primary 5 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 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 5 Science tuition lessons conducted?
The Primary 5 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 5 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 5 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 Parents in Singapore Seek Primary 5 Science Tuition?
1. In-Depth Subject Mastery
At Primary 5, Science tuition delves deeper into subject matter, ensuring students achieve a high level of mastery. This prepares them for the challenging PSLE syllabus ahead. Tutors also break down complex topics into manageable parts to support understanding.
2. Focused Revision and Practice
Tuition provides focused revision and extensive practice with past exam papers, familiarizing students with the exam format and question styles. Regular assessments help track progress and address weak areas early. This builds confidence and exam readiness.
3. Developing Independence
Students are encouraged to develop independence in their learning, fostering self-discipline and responsibility. They learn to manage their time and take ownership of their studies. These habits lay the foundation for long-term academic success.
As students encounter more complex topics, they may start comparing themselves to their peers, which can lead to feelings of self-doubt and insecurity. This internal struggle may make them hesitant to tackle challenging material or try new problem-solving methods. It is essential to provide reassurance, emphasize their progress, and foster a positive attitude toward learning.
What are the important qualities in a Primary 5 science tuition teacher?
Let's team up to empower your child
Well-Trained Tutors
Encouraging independent learning in Primary 5 Science is essential for developing self-sufficient students. Tutors can motivate students to explore concepts on their own by providing resources and encouraging curiosity-driven questions.
One effective approach is to teach students how to conduct their own research. By guiding them to find reliable sources, they learn how to gather and evaluate information. This helps build their confidence and skills in seeking answers outside the classroom.
Another key strategy is promoting self-reflection after each lesson. Students should be encouraged to review their notes, identify areas of difficulty, and find ways to improve. This reinforces their learning and fosters a sense of responsibility for their academic progress.
Finally, giving students opportunities to work on individual projects helps them apply what they’ve learned in a meaningful way. These projects encourage students to think creatively and solve problems independently. Over time, nurturing a love for learning Science.

Dedicated Attention
In Primary 5 Science, developing analytical skills is crucial for tackling complex problems. Students learn to break down information and analyze it step by step. This helps them better understand scientific concepts and apply them in real-life situations.
To improve these skills, tutors encourage students to ask probing questions. This fosters critical thinking and allows students to explore topics deeply. By analyzing different perspectives, students develop a more comprehensive understanding.
Another key strategy is working with data. Students practice interpreting charts, graphs, and tables. This sharpens their ability to draw conclusions based on evidence and data.
Finally, applying analytical skills to experiments encourages students to think logically. They develop hypotheses, test them, and evaluate results. This hands-on approach helps students improve their problem-solving abilities and enhances their scientific thinking.
