Give Your Child The Best Headstart For The Next 4 Years!
Struggles Faced by Secondary 1 Students
Secondary one is an exciting stage in you and your child’s life! They’re starting their next phase of life and education for the next 4 years. However, it’s also a stressfully daunting period for most students. Transitioning from the familiar and comforting primary school environment where they spent the last 6 years, to the more rigorous secondary school setting can be overwhelming for many students. The increase in subjects and their depth of content, coupled with a larger school and a diverse group of peers, can make even an A star student struggle to adapt, leading to a drop in grades.
The sudden increase in the number of subjects from P6 to Secondary 1 that your child has to take, and its depth of content can be overwhelming for most students. Not many can keep up with it. Your child may also find it challenging to adapt to new routines and different teaching styles with each teacher. All of that coupled with the high expectations everyone has of them, can make secondary 1 a time for mental mayhem!
Your child’s educational foundation for the next four years and beyond in tertiary is set in secondary one. So they need to build a strong foundation now, right?
This is where SmileTutor’s school of highly experienced Secondary 1 tutors can help! From recently graduated students to actual Secondary school MOE teachers, no matter what your child’s needs are, SmileTutor has the right tutor for your child!

Many Singaporean parents face the dilemma of whether to send their child to a reputable tuition centre for Secondary 1 tutoring or hire a private tutor. While tuition centres offer group classes, they often lack the personalised attention that many students need. In contrast, SmileTutor’s highly experienced 1-to-1 tutors can immediately pinpoint your 13-year-old child’s weak areas and provide targeted help tailored to their needs.
Secondary 1 marks a significant academic transition, with students now managing 8-9 subjects, compared to only 4 for the PSLE. With the increased workload, your child will need to use their time wisely to master each subject. That’s why 1-to-1 tuition is the most effective solution. Our private tutors provide focused attention, quickly identify gaps in understanding, and adapt lessons to suit your child’s learning style, ensuring they grasp concepts more efficiently and build a solid academic foundation.
With this personalised support, your child will be able to maximise their learning time, boost their confidence, and perform better in their studies—helping them succeed in the years ahead.

Secondary 1 Tuition Pricing FAQs
Why Do Tutors Charge Different Rates Even Though They're Teaching The Same Level (Secondary 1)?
SmileTutor does not dictate tuition rates for Secondary 1 tuition or any other level. Each tutor sets their own prices depending on their qualifications, experience, and many other factors such as student’s level, location, timing etc.
However, when arranging the secondary school tuition for you, our experienced coordinators will ensure that the rates are fair and within market rates for Secondary tuition. We also conduct negotiation when required to try to reduce lessons fees in order to fit within your budget when necessary.
You may view the latest tuition rates here.
Do I Have To Pay Any Commission Fees for My Child's Secondary 1 Tutor?
Our services are free-of-charge for parents and students. You are only required to pay for 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 secondary school private 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 private 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.
How Do I Pay For Lessons For The Private Secondary 1 Tuition?
In general, the agency commission charged to the tutor is 2-weeks of active lessons. Payment of the agency commission will be made directly to SmileTutor after the completion of a certain number of lessons whereby the lesson fees equal or exceed the agency commission amount. After you may paid the agency commission, you may pay your Secondary School child’s tutor directly for subsequent lessons in any method preferred by both parties
Do take note that our services are completely free for you. By paying directly to SmileTutor, you are merely helping us to facilitate the collection process of the agency commission from the tutor. There are no additional / hidden fees you need to pay other than the mentioned lesson rates.
We accept various modes of payment including credit/debit card, online transfer, cheque, and cash. Our Coordinators will inform you of the full payment details during your tutor request.
Example: Client Mary hires Sec 2 Level Tutor for $60/lesson at 1 lesson per week. The agency commission is $120 (equivalent to 2 lessons). After Tutor has conducted two lessons, Client Mary transfers to SmileTutor $120. Then, from the 3rd lesson onwards, she is to pay Tutor directly. The arrangement made between Mary and the tutor is to pay every 4-lessons via bank transfer.
Is Advance Payment Needed For The Booking of My Sec 1 Tuition For My Child?
You do not have to make advance payments of any kind. All payments are made only after the requisite lessons have been conducted.
Are There Any Binding Contracts With SmileTutor Or The Private Home Tutor for Secondary 1?
There are no contracts and obligations until you agree to engage our tutors for secondary school level or at any level. 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.

This agency has helped in many ways. I went to them for help when i couldnt find a tutor. Despite mentions that I need specific support, they didnt turn me away.
Instead they try to find me a tutor with the skillset required. The tutor not only could manage but also had strategies to keep my child engaged during the lesson. It was a relief indeed!

My son, currently in Sec 3, has been getting F9 for his maths since Sec 1 midterm. Hoping to help him, we hired a Math tutor for him but he was still failing. Smiletutor then recommended Mr Danny Low as my son’s tutor after his sec 2 year end exam. Thanks to Mr Danny’s patience, encouragement and style of teaching, my son managed to get an A2 for his first WA in sec 3. My son said he is now able to understand and solve the Math questions and is enjoying Maths. We are grateful to Mr Danny Low.

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 Secondary 1 tuition lessons conducted?
The Secondary 1 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 Secondary 1 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 Secondary 1 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.
