The help your child needs in Science to succeed?

Challenges Faced by Science Students

Subjects like Physics, Chemistry and Biology can be a tough nut to crack most times. Your child has to cram and get to terms with certain science fundamentals to succeed. In the classroom, it’s easy for your child to lose focus once they fail to grasp a key concept or encounter everyday distractions.

And, if they try to bring the teacher back too many times, they are seen as disturbing the general flow. This is a very frustrating situation for your child to be in indeed.

All students in Singapore must take science subjects. A good grasp of science subjects at the early stages can do YOUR child a world of good later in life. Particularly, they can help your child find their dream jobs easily.

With the rise in scientific industries all over Singapore (especially in the areas of research and engineering), it has made competency in science – of great demand by employers – now more than ever. A great science background has become a key requirement in the marketplace and a core value among employers.

Now that more students are towing the science path, Science home tuition in Singapore is becoming more popular as parents now want their child to have an edge over their peers.

Learning Science from the Beginning

Is Science important? Well, it’s one of the four compulsory subjects that students have to learn starting from the Primary science tuition level. As students progress to the Secondary science tuition Level, they have to take not just one, but two or more pure or combined science subjects sitting for their N or O level examinations.

Learning in the classroom has never been a one-size-fits-all solution. In an environment where 40 students vie for 1 teacher’s attention, it is no wonder that some kids fall behind. The problem with Science is that when a student fails to grasp a particular science topic or formula, it is difficult to keep up as the teacher moves on to the next topic.

Failing in science will not just affect your child in their PSLE, O-levels, and A-levels. It can severely limit their choices when they head to polytechnic or university, where there is a significant number of courses involved in Science and require good science grades such as Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and even Physics, Biological Science, and Medicine.

Our Solution - 1:1 Private Science Tuition

Private Science tuition Singapore would definitely help your child in MANY WAYS:

  • The very best Science tutor attentive to your needs
  • A competent tutor proficient in Science
  • A mentor to hold you by the hand and offer quality advise and direction
  • Top-notch tutoring without leaving your home
  • Freedom to choose your preferred Science tutor
  • Private help for scoring high in Science exams

Taking the leap using Private Science Tuition Singapore

Learning in large groups doesn’t fit everyone. Many students can learn up to 200% faster in a 1-to-1 setting. Here are some benefits for private science tutoring:

1. Learning at the student’s own pace
In a private setting, a teacher can pace the lesson according to each students’ learning ability. There is no pressure for the lesson to be rushed through formulas and topics that your child really needs to absorb before moving on.

2. Customized lesson structure
Unlike learning in schools or in large science learning centres, having a private science tutor means the luxury to have the lesson tailored around your child’s learning needs. Not only that, the science tutor will give their full attention solely to your child.

3. Being able to overcome fear
Many shy kids do not dare to raise their hand to ask questions in front of large classes due to the fear of embarrassment. However, in a 1-to-1 setting, your child is free to ask any science questions they have! In this way they can clarify their doubts about any scientific theoreoms and progress much faster in their Secondary science tuition Singapore sessions or PSLE science tuition Singapore.

4. Gaining access to Science assessment books and materials
A good science teacher tutor Singapore will spend the extra effort and time to tailor study materials such as data booklets, practice papers, and questions banks to help accelerate your child’s learning of Science. SmileTutor also provides free downloads of past year science exam papers for PSLE and O-level science examinations.

5. Convenience & Time-Savings
Your child probably has a busy schedule. What’s better than to let them come home from school, take a shower, and then sit in their comfortable home environment while having private tuition at your preferred time? This will save precious commuting time and allow your child to learn comfortably in a safe environment.

Science Tuition Pricing FAQs

What is the difference between the type of Science tutors available?

To simplify things, we group our tutors into three main tutor categories:

Part-Time Science 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 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 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.

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 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 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 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 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 Science 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 Science tutors in Singapore. Since we have introduced this system, the quality of our private 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.

    Frequently Asked Questions about Science Tuition in Singapore

    Is Science a difficult subject?

    Science can be very subjective in terms of difficulty. However, in recent years, it 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 memorization, when they encounter more advanced problems, they still might get stuck.

    Why do students struggle with Science?

    Some students might struggle with Singapore 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 Science is also crucial in improving. It takes a lot of patience on themselves in order to see improvements.a

    How do I know if my child needs help with Science ?

    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 Science homework, then maybe it is time to consider engaging a tutor.

    How can Science tuition help?

    Private Science home tuition can help in students’ confidence by teaching them techniques to problem solve. 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.

    Call SmileTutor today to get a free consultation from us to engage the perfect tutor for your child!

    How do I request for a Science tutor?

    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 Science tuition lessons conducted?

    The 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 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 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.

    Girl learning maths

    Students in Singapore must take science subjects. Perhaps the reason the MOE made science subjects compulsory at all levels is because they know there are amazing career and lifelong benefits lying in wait.  At PSLE, it accounts for a whopping 25% of your child’s total aggregate PSLE score. And at secondary level, students also have to take at least 2 combined science subjects for their O levels.
