Challenges Your Secondary 3 Child Face
As your child enters Secondary 3, the countdown to the O-Levels begins. While the pressure may not feel overwhelming yet, this is the ideal time to plan ahead.

By investing in quality tuition now, your child can master key concepts early, gain confidence, and be well-prepared for the challenges of Sec 4 and the O-Level exams.
Many Secondary 3 students face a range of challenges—balancing schoolwork, co-curricular activities, and social life, all while trying to keep up with a demanding curriculum. It’s easy for them to feel overwhelmed or fall behind, especially when they don’t have a clear understanding of key concepts. This is where many students start to lose their academic edge.
At SmileTutor, we believe in building a solid foundation early. With the right guidance from our expert tutors, your child cannot only catch up but also excel. Let us provide the personalised support your child needs to stay on track and confidently approach the O-Levels.

Secondary 3 Tuition Pricing FAQs
Why Do Tutors Charge Different Rates Even Though They're Teaching The Same Level (Secondary 3)?
SmileTutor does not dictate tuition rates for Secondary 3 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 3 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 3 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 3 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 3 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 3 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 3 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 3?
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.

Read lessFrequently Asked Questions about Sec 3 Tuition in Singapore
What Subjects Will My Child Be Taking In Secondary 3?
In Secondary 3, your child will take compulsory subjects like English, Mother Tongue, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. They can also choose from electives such as History, Geography, Literature, Additional Mathematics, Economics, and Design & Technology, depending on their academic stream (Express, Normal Academic, or Normal Technical). Subject offerings may vary by school, so it’s best to check with the school for specific options.
How can I help my child prepare for the O-Levels in Secondary 3?
To help your child prepare for the O-Level examinations in Secondary 3, it’s crucial to build a strong foundation early for Secondary 4 next year! Start by encouraging consistent study habits and regular revision sessions. Focus on identifying and addressing any weak areas with the help of private tuition for personalised learning. Our experienced tutors can guide your child through key concepts, provide mock exams for practice, and offer strategies to improve time management and exam techniques. Early preparation will set your child up for success in the O-Levels!
How important is it for my child to excel in all subjects at this stage?
While it’s important for your child to perform well across all subjects in Secondary 3, excelling in every subject isn’t always necessary. At this stage, it’s more about building a strong foundation and focusing on their strengths. However, solid performance in core subjects like English, Mathematics, and Science is crucial for the O-Level pathway. If your child faces challenges, private tuition can provide targeted support to help them improve in specific areas and stay on track for future success!
How Do I Know If My Sec 3 Child Is Ready For O-Levels Next Year?
To determine if your child is ready for the O-Level examinations, look at their overall performance in school, including recent assessments and teacher feedback. If they consistently understand key concepts, perform well in practice exams, and demonstrate confidence in applying their knowledge, they’re on the right track. However, if you notice gaps in certain subjects or areas where they’re struggling, it might be time to consider O-Level tuition for additional support.
At SmileTutor, our expert tutors can assess your child’s readiness by identifying any weak spots and providing tailored lessons to address those gaps. We offer Personalised tuition that focuses on exam strategies and subject mastery to ensure your child is prepared for the exams ahead. Ready to give your child the best chance for success? Let SmileTutor help them get fully O-Level ready!

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.

Our Coordinators will ensure that both parties agree on the lesson details and pricing before confirming the lessons.

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 Sec 3 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 Secondary 3 tuition lessons conducted?
The Secondary 3 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 3 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 3 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.
