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 Literature 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
Literary devices: I memorized them carefully, but couldn’t answer the exam questions properly. So my grades were much worse than expected. My English is usually between B and A, and I was feeling really sad about my Lit. Mr Koh has a Master’s in Literature and is very familiar with the syllabus and exam requirements. It is very hard to be able to find a good Lit tutor, and fortunately, we get along very well. When I look bored, he would come up with interesting ways to analyze the text. I have been getting A’s all this year (O Level year), even though I was struggling in Sec 3.

The text this year was more difficult than in Sec 4. My classmates don’t seem to have any problems, so I was feeling quite worried for the first few months of this year. Ms Angeline taught me several skills that put my Lit grades back on track. If I had known these when I was in Sec 4, I would have scored an A instead of a B.

Our Literature tutors have Singapore’s highest rate of proven tutoring success because we carefully shortlist and select applicants based on their tutoring track record, aptitude/attitude and professionalism/commitment before we include them in our team
Our tutors are very familiar with the latest MOE syllabus. They tailor each Literature tuition session according to your learning style, homework requirements and exam grade targets
We show you profiles of Literature tuition teachers only when their profiles suit your requirements and budget
The experienced full-time tuition coordinator who is the project manager for your Literature tuition assignment has a Bachelor’s from the top local universities, majoring in Literature
This ensures that we know the right attributes that a good tutor must have, when we shortlist the perfect home tutor for your Literature tuition assignment
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 Literature. 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 Literature syllabus and is starting to (or already) dislike Literature
✓ You want to pursue a career in Literature-related fields such as Education, Law or Corporate Blogging, and need to maintain a strong A grade
✓ You are taking your O-level or A-level Literature exams and need intensive exam preparation
Star Tutors hires only experienced, patient and qualified Literature tutors with proven abilities to help students’ grades improve
We can quickly find the ideal Literature tutor for you. Just let us know your requirements
Knowledge itself gives you a very valuable advantage
Literature 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 Literature. It is likely that this was because they managed to hire a good Literature 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 Literature, whether or not you plan to take Literature at tertiary level
Career opportunities in Communications, Law, Education and Media are attractive and very lucrative
Scoring good grades in Literature is therefore useful to you, when you want to broaden your career options
The only way you can do well in Literature is by having a clear understanding of the important concepts and answering skills that are required in the examination marking schemes and formats
For O-Level Literature, the MOE states:
The aims of the syllabus are to enable students to:
ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVES

(iv) communicate a sensitive and informed personal response to what is read; and
(v) express responses clearly and coherently, using textual evidence where appropriate.
The Assessment Objectives are inter-related. Candidates will be assessed on their attainment of these Assessment Objectives in an integrated and meaningful way.

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 Literature 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
