Is your child having trouble to learn Tamil Language?
Challenges Faced by Tamil Students
It’s not unusual for parents to experience difficulties learning or teaching their child Tamil language Singapore. Finding the right tutor for your child can be such a hurdle as well since finding the right fit for them can take such a long time indeed.
In Singapore, Tamil is one of the four official languages mostly spoken by the largest Indian ethnic group in Singapore. It is also the language with the longest history of education in Malaysia and Singapore.
Tamil is widely spoken in India and Sri Lanka, making Singapore one of the three countries in the world to make Tamil an official language. But considering the general adoption of English as the official language in Singapore, Tamil – like Malay and Chinese – is a tough nut to crack for most Singaporean students.
A proficient Tamil teacher will help your child to better appreciate the Tamil dialects and the growing popularity of the language. Aside one-on-one tutoring brought to your child at any location in Singapore, our tutors are also patient, courteous and friendly –and will go the extra mile to ensure your child learns Tamil without stress. We provide Tamil classes for adults in Singapore too.
A special approach like this that brings out the many values of attaining a high level of proficiency in the language will ensure your child learns passionately and not grudgingly. This means they learn faster and easier.
Wouldn’t you rather stick with an exceptional Tamil tutor for your child? So, if you’re set to request for an exceptional Tamil tutor for your child. contact SmileTutor today!

Our Solution - 1:1 Private Tamil Tuition
Home-based Tamil tuition can benefit your child in MANY ways:
- Dedicated study help for scaling through hurdles in Tamil language

- Expert help and wisdom for doing exceptionally well in Tamil examination
- Professional aid for measuring up to and even surpassing their peers

Yet, having a good command of Tamil with the help of private Tamil tutors can enable students learn how to use their first language with greater precision and purpose – beyond doing well in school exams.
SmileTutor is readily available to support you or your child with good Tamil tuition with Tamil classes in Singapore. Our Tamil tutors are well-trained which means they can bring the latest and most effective teaching tools to help your child master Tamil quick and easy. They are also able to work based on the schedule you set for them – giving you extra value for your investment on your child.

Tamil Tuition Pricing FAQs
What Is The Difference Between The Types Of Tamil Tutors Available?
To simplify things, we group our tutors into three main tutor categories:
– Part-Time Tamil 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 Tamil 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.
– Tamil 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 Tamil 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 Tamil 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 Tamil 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 Tamil 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. With this system, we are able to ensure that parents & students are constantly matched with the cream of the crop A-Levels Tamil tutors in Singapore. Since we have introduced this system, the quality of our private A-Levels Tamil 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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Tamil Tuition in Singapore
Is Tamil a difficult subject?
Tamil can be challenging for those unfamiliar with its grammar, script, and cultural nuances, but it’s also a deeply rewarding language to learn. Its unique sentence structure, rich vocabulary, and poetic expressions may take time to grasp, especially if you’re new to Dravidian languages. However, with practice and an interest in the language, the complexities can turn into opportunities to explore its beauty and depth.
Why do students struggle with Tamil?
Students often struggle with Tamil due to its distinct grammar and sentence structure, which can be quite different from languages like English. The script can also be a challenge, especially if they’re unfamiliar with it.
Additionally, Tamil’s rich vocabulary and idiomatic expressions require a deeper understanding of cultural context, which can make it harder to grasp for those who aren’t immersed in the language. Lastly, pronunciation and mastering the subtle tonal differences can be tricky for non-native speakers.
How do I know if my child needs help with Tamil?
You might notice your child having trouble with Tamil vocabulary, grammar, or sentence structure. Struggling to understand reading passages or express ideas clearly could indicate they need assistance.
If they feel unmotivated or anxious about the subject, it may be time for extra help. Support early on can build confidence and improve their Tamil proficiency.
How can Tamil tuition help?
Tamil tuition can help by providing personalized lessons that focus on improving vocabulary, grammar, and writing skills. Tutors can guide your child in reading comprehension and help them express ideas more clearly in both written and spoken Tamil.
With regular practice and targeted support, your child will build confidence and perform better in exams. Tailored guidance helps address specific areas of difficulty, ensuring steady progress.
How do I request for a Tamil tutor?
Our slogan is “Efficient, effective, and easy” – our goal is to make your process of finding the perfect home tutor for your child as simple and painless as possible.
There are many avenues for you to request for a Tamil tutor with us and it takes less than 2 minutes to do so. The avenues as listed below:
– Phone Call: +65 6266 4475 (Mon to Sun 9am-8pm)
– Website: https://smiletutor.sg/find-tutor/
– WhatsApp: +65 94504390 (click for shortcut)
You can also send us a quick email through our contact form at the bottom of the page. Once we have received your enquiry, our coordinators will drop you a call within 1-12 hours.
Simply take 2 minutes to send us your request now and you can sit back and relax while we source for the perfect tutor for you.
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.
Once you have confirmed a suitable tutor, we’ll send you the lesson details via a confirmation email and you can start preparing for your first lesson!
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 Tamil 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 Tamil tuition lessons conducted?
The Tamil 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 Tamil 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 Tamil 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.

Tamil may be tough, but valuable
Description
Tamil is a national language in Singapore predominantly spoken by the Tamil people of India and Sri Lanka. Native speakers are up to 70 million around the world.
Application
A good grasp of the Tamil language gives students the tools to appreciate the culture of the language, and opens the door to job opportunities in the global economy.
Benefits
You get to be well-grounded in the Tamil culture, and are able to pick up key Tamil vocabulary and grammar. You also learn how to communicate effectively in the language.
Students often have to write Tamil essays, which can be very difficult for those who have not yet attained an appreciable level of proficiency in the language. The truth is, such students will greatly benefit from the dedicated assistance of a Tamil private tutor, who can guide them in improving their writing skills, building confidence, and mastering the language over time.
