Master Literature with the Right Guidance – Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late!
Challenges Faced by Literature Students
William Shakespeare is one of the most famous writers, but his works can be a real challenge for literature students. His complex language and sentence structures can be confusing, especially for students who don’t have a strong foundation in literature or the support of a good tutor.
Don’t let your child struggle with understanding difficult quotes or passages. Help them overcome these challenges by finding a skilled private tutor who can guide them through the material.
In Singapore, literature is a required subject for lower secondary students, usually starting around the age of 13 or 14. At this level, it’s generally manageable for students with a good understanding of English.
However, when students move to upper secondary and prepare for their GCE O-Levels, they must choose one or more humanities subjects. They can choose between Geography, History, or Literature. Often, students pick History or Geography instead of Literature, partly because they are not interested or feel unsure about doing well in it. Why is that so?
Interpreting Shakespeare’s quotes, like “To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man,” can feel overwhelming. Don’t settle for tuition centres where tutors are overloaded with too many students, which can limit the attention and support your child receives.
At SmileTutor, we connect you with patient and dedicated literature tutors in Singapore who can help your child build confidence and achieve great results. Our tutors are passionate, experienced, and committed to helping your child excel in literature. Contact us today to find the right private tutor who can provide focused, Personalised lessons for the best learning outcomes.

However, finding the right tutor for Literature can be more challenging compared to other subjects. Unlike Humanities subjects like Geography, where the same study materials are often used across all schools in Singapore, literature is more varied. Different schools may focus on different texts, meaning the tutor needs to adapt and thoroughly familiarize themselves with the specific book or literary work your child is studying.
Thankfully, we offer the most extensive database of qualified English literature tutors in Singapore.

Literature Tuition Pricing FAQs
What Is The Difference Between The Types Of Literature Tutors Available?
To simplify things, we group our tutors into three main tutor categories:
– Part-Time Literature 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 Literature 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.
– Literature 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 Literature 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 Literature 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 Literature 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 Literature 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 Literature tutors in Singapore. Since we have introduced this system, the quality of our private Literature 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 was tutored by Natalie for the past 3 months and under her expert guidance and strong mastery of the subject ( English Literature), I was able to excel in the exams. She taught in a way that made the complex subject easier to grasp and understand. As an educator, she is patient, caring and responsible. She ensured that I spent time practising my writing, and gave me very useful writing tips to ace in my examinations. I was finally able to apply my knowledge of the subject and in my final exams, I scored a distinction in English Literature. I am very appreciative of Ms Natalie who tutored me and enabled me to do well in the exams. Thanks Smiletutor for the great recommendation!!

Ms Athena Thang is very passionate, patients, and detailed tutor. She has great interest in English literature, which shows in my son’s lessons. She can also communicate what is taught clearly, and my son is able to understand the content and techniques taught in class. Her tailored method of teaching and her enthusiasm helps my son apply these skills and sustain interest in the lesson. Athena is approachable and also professional. She comes prepared for lessons and makes sure my son is prepared. She does this by making sure my son can recall previous content taught before and after class. This helps my son to reinforce what was learnt and shows her attention to detail regarding content curation in lessons, and my son’s needs to improve.

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 Literature tuition lessons conducted?
The Literature 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 Literature 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 Literature 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 Struggle Through Literature? Let's Bring the Stories to Life!
1. The right guidance
Experienced tutors will be able to teach your child how to interpret texts, taking into account the political, cultural and historical background from which to gain insights and translate deeper meanings.
2. 1-1 Literature is Essential
Imagine a tutor trying to teach 3 students from different JCs at once with unique reading texts and question-answering styles. This highlights the benefit of one-to-one private literature tuition, -tailored attention that benefits both tutors and students
3. Top-class Literature Tuition
With top-quality literature tuition, your child will be equipped to apply the right literary theories and strategies crucial for excelling in each paper. If you’re looking for a dedicated tutor for IP, O-Level, or A-Level English Literature, you’ve come to the right place.
Literature teachers in school might not always be able to explain every little detail due to time constraints and having too many students to cater to per time. If your child is not exceptional in their command of the English language, it is very likely that they will face some difficulty in scoring well in their literature – without literature tuition.
The Exact Help Your Child needs to Stand Out in Literature
Our focus is to work with your child and help them outshine their peers.
