Hello, I am Victoria Lim – PhD, University of Oxford
I lead a team of tuition consultants and coordinators who are former MOE teachers
Our 57,000 experienced home tutors are current/ex-MOE teachers, and graduated/undergraduate tutors
They each have between 2 to over 30 years of tutoring/teaching track record of helping students’ grades improve
About 20% of our tutors have PhD’s or Master’s degrees in the same subject that you would like to have tuition in
We Are Not Able To Accept Any Tutor Registrations Through This Hire Tutors Form. Thank You
85% of our students achieved improvements of at least 1 grade, within 3 months after tuition started
The other 15% scored between 10 to 30 higher marks within the first 2 months of tuition
We are Singapore’s top tuition agent for each subject taught at MOE schools
Since 2014, we have established a reputation for being trustworthy, honest and effective
Tuition Assignments listens attentively to your requirements
We show profiles of experienced tutors to you only if they have proven abilities to deliver improved grades
Because our coordinators are former MOE teachers, we know what works – and what does not – when we are shortlisting tutor profiles
Students enjoy learning from – and feel comfortable with – someone who can clearly tell them how they can master difficult content and conquer their challenges
Therefore, our tutors must have themselves scored a distinction in the subject(s) they teach, before we will consider showing their profile to you
Our private tutors each specialize in different subjects, and some regularly teach a combination of subjects. They have valuable, relevant and practical exam tips to share with you
They know the correct answers, and can help you to navigate easily
Our tuition consultants and coordinators have matched students with experienced and accomplished English tuition teachers
Many years ago, we had seen for ourselves that when a tutor teaches the student the wrong information (because he/she is not really competent), the chances of the student’s grades improving are very slim
Tuition Assignments does not want to take risks with your grades
Secondary school English requires different writing styles and a much bigger range of words. The starting and ending of my compo were boring, according to my teacher. And the middle part of my essays were confusing to her when she read what I wrote. Ms Anne is very good at creative writing. She used to be a journalist, and then taught at a famous tuition centre. I like what she teaches me, because my teacher has started to praise my essays and how I answer my compre questions. My editing has also improved a lot.

I am shy, and have not done well for oral. Mr Fong teaches English in a fun way, and made me feel comfortable enough to speak up. He is right – it is possible to score full marks for Oral, and I have done this twice already. My compo and sentence construction are better now. I should be able to get AL2 or AL3 for my PSLE English.

The fact still remains that many, many students from your school and from other schools are competing with you for the same coveted courses, and places in junior colleges, universities or polytechnics
Demand for the best (or better) classes, courses, and tertiary institutes will always exceed the available places
Average-scoring students typically end up being accepted into the less popular junior colleges, polytechnics, universities and courses
Over the years, harder questions are being answered correctly by more and more students
Exam setters have no choice but to introduce even harder questions, to be able to distinguish the superior from the good students in each cohort
This then leads to much tougher questions when it is your turn to take the exam
It’s a bit of a vicious cycle, really.
Everyone fears that questions will be more difficult when it is their turn to take the exam, so parents want to engage professional private tutors, to better-prepare their children to compete against their peers. The children study harder and manage to score good grades
The exam papers and results are then reviewed, and because so many students have been very well-prepared and on the whole have achieved satisfactory grades because they hired excellent home tutors, the questions are deemed too easy
This makes it necessary to set questions that are even more difficult, the next year
And further increases the need for parents to engage reputable private tutors
Because the objective is to “do better than the other person” rather than only to “get a certain grade”, parents will do all they can (as loving parents) to give their children that competitive edge
It’s not just about keeping up with other children with better grades, but also to make sure their kids don’t feel “stupid’’ or “left out’’ and end up really hating the subject just because others are so good at it
Good grades are the best confidence boosters
Get a trustworthy private tutor who can remember your child’s weaknesses and target those areas
Help your child to stay ahead. It is important for their future
✓ You are interested in English. However, no matter how hard you try, your grades have not improved satisfactorily, and you have difficulty applying what you have learnt to answer the questions adequately
✓ Your child often complains about the difficult and complex English syllabus and is starting to (or already) dislike English
✓ You want to pursue a career in English-related fields such as Communications, Education or Law, and need to maintain a strong A grade
✓ You are taking your PSLE or O-level English exams and need intensive exam preparation
Tuition Assignments private tutor agency hires only experienced, patient and qualified English tutors with proven abilities to help students’ grades improve
We can quickly find the ideal English tutor for you. Just let us know your requirements
Knowledge itself gives you a very valuable advantage
English tuition provides the extra boost for knowledge – and your grades
You do not want to end up being assigned courses or a tertiary institute that is your 3rd or 4th choice because you lost out by just a few marks in your O-Level or A-Level exams
Your classmates managed to score good grades for English. It is likely that this was because they managed to hire a good English tuition teacher in time for them to start intensive revision and prepare for the exams
Your syllabus is designed by the MOE to ensure that you have a solid foundation in English, whether or not you plan to take English at tertiary level
Career opportunities in Law, Journalism/Media, Education and Public Relations/Marketing are attractive and very lucrative
Scoring good grades in English is therefore useful to you, when you want to broaden your career options
The only way you can do well in English is by having a clear understanding of the important concepts and answering skills that are required in the examination marking schemes and formats
For Primary-Level and O-Level English, the MOE states:
“By the end of Secondary education, pupils will be able to communicate effectively in English as a result of their development in the following areas:
In the course of listening, reading and viewing widely a range of multimodal texts and text forms, pupils will gain a better understanding of our cultural values and National Education themes, and engage in Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), where applicable
Pupils will speak, write and represent for creative, personal, academic and functional purposes by using language in a sustained manner (e.g., in speech and writing) and by representing their ideas in a range of multimodal texts and text forms. Our most able pupils will do so with increasing ease and inventiveness at higher levels of proficiency
Pupils will learn grammar and vocabulary in explicit, engaging and meaningful ways. They will reinforce such understanding in the course of listening to, reading, viewing, speaking, writing and representing different types of texts
To achieve the aim of effective language use, teachers will be guided by the six Principles of EL Teaching and Learning (CLLIPS) and will take into account the Teaching Processes (ACoLADE) when developing their instructional programmes and lessons

Tutors in Singapore quote their own hourly rates. In general, the rates are based on their years of private tutoring experience, their academic qualifications, and their abilities/confidence to help their students’ grades improve
The tuition industry is very competitive and transparent
Parents are aware that when their budget is below the market’s average rate, the better-qualified tutors are not likely to apply for the assignment
The figures below are the typical range of rates quoted by experienced tutors with good track records
Tuition Assignments Singapore represents only university undergraduates, graduates, MOE current/former teachers and university lecturers
These are the current rates for private tuition Singapore
These are the current rates for private tuition Singapore
Three easy ways to ensure successful grade improvement:
Reduce Tutoring Requirements
Tuition rates depend on tutor qualifications as well as tutor availability. The more requirements you have, the harder it is to find a tutor who will respond to your assignment
Typical requirements would include Gender, Combination of Subjects, Budget, Schedule, etc.
You should shortlist the requirements that are most important to you
For example, if you want only female tutors, then this reduces the tutor options by 50%
It is also good to hire two separate tutors, to teach two different subjects because most tutors are truly strong at one subject, even if they themselves scored A’s for both of the subjects that you want tuition in
Major National Exams
Tutors who specialize or have significant experience in tutoring students taking their PSLE, GCE O Levels and GCE A Levels typically quote higher hourly rates
This is due to the intensive effort in exam preparation, content revision, and (if the student was not taught properly in previous years) getting the student to un-learn the study skills that have been causing weak grades
Every year after the June holidays, good tutors usually do not want to teach graduating year students because they will need to rush and intensely cram a lot of content, in order to adequately prepare the student
Parents therefore prefer to engage a reliable English tutor at least one year ahead of the major National Exams
Budget
We encourage our clients to be realistic with the tuition budget that they would like to work within
Tuition Assignments home tutor agency does not regulate nor alter the hourly tuition rates
Tutors with proven track records that consistently deliver A grades, tuition teachers with many years of experience, and current/former MOE teachers are already accepting assignments within a certain hourly rate
As there is always strong demand and a waiting list for these tutors, they are not likely to accept rates below their current rates
