SINGAPORE’S LEADING PRIVATE TUITION AGENCY

HOW DO I REQUEST FOR A TUTOR?

You can request for a tutor by submitting our online Request Form.

Upon receiving your request, we will Whatsapp you to discuss your child’s academic needs. We will spend the next few hours shortlisting several suitable tutors within our database and network for your consideration.

Our working hours are from 9am to 9pm, seven days a week.

Tuition usually commences within one week after you have selected a tutor.

TRIAL LESSON

The paid trial lessons can be 1.5 hours or 2 hours per session.

CAN I CHANGE THE TUTOR AFTER THE TUITION BEGINS?

You just need to pay for the tuition session(s) that have been conducted. There will not be any extra charges for the change.

AM I ABLE TO VIEW THE TUTOR’S CERTIFICATES BEFORE THE FIRST LESSON?

You can request to see the hardcopies of certificates of your tutor to be presented to you during the first lesson.

The client acknowledges that it is his/her responsibility to verify the suitability, credentials and qualifications of any tutor with whom he/she engages.

HOW MUCH DO I PAY FOR YOUR TUTOR MATCHING SERVICES?

Tuition Assignments Singapore is Singapore’s leading private tuition agency and our matching service is free for students/parents requesting for tutors. This is because our agency commission is charged to the tutor, not to you.

The client will pay to Tuition Assignments Singapore half of the fees payable in the first 4 calendar weeks. This amount is the commission to Tuition Assignments Singapore for matching the tutor to the client, and will be borne by the tutor.

Thereafter, the client will pay the tuition fees directly to the tutor.

If lessons are postponed during the first two weeks, the commission payable to Tuition Assignments Singapore will be based on the tuition session conducted the subsequent week(s).

The tutor shall collect all fees due to the tutor from the parent after the two weeks. Tuition Assignments Singapore will not assist in any recovery of fees.

PAYMENT OF FEES

The client is required to pay tuition fees only for the number of hours of lessons given by the tutor.

If you decide to stop the tuition after the first lesson, you are required to pay for only that lesson.

Please transfer the fee for that lesson to Tuition Assignments Singapore and we will transfer the tutor’s fee to him/her.

Tutors are not authorized at any time to collect the payment on Tuition Assignments Singapore’s behalf.

Tuition fees are to be paid every 4 weeks to the tutor, unless otherwise agreed between the client and the tutor.

PAYMENT MODE

We will provide our bank account information for you to make payment via internet banking or ATM transfer directly to Tuition Assignments Singapore’s bank account.

If the client fails to pay us, Tuition Assignments Singapore reserves the right to terminate the Assignment. This is in fairness to the tutor, who might need to give the available slot to another client if this Assignment does not materialize.

Once the payment is received, it will be acknowledged in the form of a receipt, issued to the payer (Parent/Requestor/Guardian) via Whatsapp, sms, email or other electronic communications medium. We will also provide details of the Tuition Assignment that can include: tutor’s name, hourly fee, date of commencement of tuition, subject(s), level, duration of each lesson and frequency, etc.

FIRST LESSON

Once the client accepts the tutor’s candidacy, the client will not be able to change the schedule of the First Lesson.

Clients are allowed to make changes in the schedule after the First Lesson is over. However, Tuition Assignments Singapore hopes that this is not necessary as the tutor has already reserved that slot of time for you.

If you want to make changes in the schedule, please consult with your tutor to ask if he/she is able to change the schedule or not.

The tutor is to bring his/her identity document, academic transcripts/certificates and relevant documents for the First Lesson for verification purposes.

If the tutor is unable to conduct the First Lesson of a tuition assignment, the tutor must call Tuition Assignments Singapore at least 3 business days before the actual lesson. If the tutor fails to notify Tuition Assignments Singapore of his/her cancellation/postponement, an administrative charge of S$30 will be imposed on him/her.

If the tutor fails to contact Tuition Assignments Singapore with a valid reason to inform us about the tutor’s absence from the lesson, the tutor’s profile at Tuition Assignments Singapore may be blacklisted. This will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

LOCATION OF TUTORING LESSONS

Tutors will conduct lessons at the student’s residence unless otherwise specified and agreed upon by both the client and the tutor.

If the client has a request for the tuition to be conducted at another location (eg a friend’s home), Tuition Assignments Singapore will ask if the tutor is able to accommodate the request.

Tuition Assignments Singapore and the tutor will not be responsible if the given location is occupied or not available for use for the lessons and the officially scheduled timings will still be counted as a paid lesson.

TUTOR REASSIGNMENT OR CANCELLATION OF ASSIGNMENTS

There is no obligation or contract to complete a fixed number of lessons, except for the First Lesson.

If at any time the client is not satisfied with the tutor, the client may request a replacement or termination. However, the client is responsible for paying the fee for the number of lessons given prior to termination.

Tuition Assignments Singapore will discuss separately with the client and the tutor regarding future tuition arrangements, and Tuition Assignments Singapore will change the tutor for the client. There will not be any extra charges for the change and the client needs to pay just for the tuition session(s) that have been conducted.

If the client cancels a tutoring assignment before the tutor completes the agreed number of lessons for the first 4 calendar weeks, Tuition Assignments Singapore assumes full claim to 50% of the tuition fees for the total number of lessons delivered in the month. For example, if the client had requested for 8 lessons per month, but the assignment was cancelled after the 5th session, Tuition Assignments Singapore will be paid pro-rated commission for the 5 lessons conducted.

Tuition Assignments Singapore will not be liable for any payment charges or issues arising from the cancellation of tuition assignments by the client.

If the client terminates the Assignment because the tutor is often late, skips lessons without valid explanations etc, the tutor will bear Tuition Assignments Singapore’s full commission fee.

If the tutor cancels the Assignment after confirming acceptance (that is, the client’s contact information and address have been given to the tutor), the tutor will need to compensate the commission which amounts to 50% of the fees payable (as stated in the confirmation Whatsapp, sms, email or other forms of electronic communications messages) for the first 4 weeks.

If the tutor wishes to cancel a Tuition Assignment before the end of the first 4 calendar weeks, the tutor is to inform both Tuition Assignments Singapore as well as the client at least 3 days before the next lesson date. Tuition Assignments Singapore will recover our legal share of the one-time commission of 50% of the fee for the first 4 calendar weeks from the tutor. Tutors are encouraged to have a long-term commitment as the clients have vested their trust in them.

TERMINATION

The tutor will receive full or pro-rated payment for the number of lessons rendered, provided the tutor has complied with the Terms of this Agreement.

The client has the right to terminate the tuition if the tutor is unable to produce the documents certifying his/her credentials. In such cases, the tutor has to pay Tuition Assignments Singapore the amount of money equivalent to the tuition fee for the day, as commission.

Good reviews and feedback by parents and students, since 2014

Singapore's biggest team of professional tutors

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.

Our experienced home tutors deliver excellent results

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.

Popular A-grade tutors who can improve exam performance

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 techniques, and can help you to navigate easily.

Step by step effective tuition, by specialists

We shortlist only committed tutors who can conduct substantive high-impact home tuition sessions, to enable their students to study smarter.

They will pinpoint exactly what is holding you back from excelling in exams so that you can focus on improving your study methods.

You will learn how to boost memory capacity, strategically answer application questions, and to retain information more competently. 

Even for heavy subjects like Social Studies – from fundamental to advanced levels.

These crucial productivity skills enable our students to be able to score maximum marks within the time constraints that they have to work within, during exams. 

Our tuition consultants and coordinators have matched students with experienced and accomplished Social Studies 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 Singapore does not want to take risks with your grades.

Hire the right Social Studies tuition teacher

Our Social Studies 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.

Learn proper content and methods during Social Studies tuition

Geography is alright, but I have difficulty in understanding some of the concepts in Social Studies. Actually, I understand what the teacher covers in school, but my answers during the exams seem to be off-point according to my teacher. Mr Ho is very good at analyzing what the question needs me to answer. I tried his method, and have been doing much better in my exams. I was suffering throughout Sec 3 because I was lost. If Mr Ho started teaching me last year, I would have had a happier Sec 3.

Celestine Tan
Springfield Secondary School

My classmates are able to do well in SS, but I am not able to answer some of the questions. It was very discouraging because my Sec 3 SS was alright. Somehow, my classmates caught up and my own grades did not improve as much as theirs. Ms Christine explains things in a very energetic and fun way. It is so much easier for me to remember information and to analyze whatever she taught me because of the techniques she taught me.

The challenges when studying Social Studies

Many students tell us that they struggle with Social Studies so much that they do not have enough time to study their other subjects.

The Ministry of Education is already taking many steps to reduce the weightage of grades when students apply for secondary schools, junior colleges, polytechnics and universities.

You realize that ultimately, it is still your grades that determine which JC, Polytechnic or University that you will be accepted into

Within 6 hours after you have contacted us, Tuition Assignments will show you profiles of between 4 to 10 exceptional tutors for Social Studies tuition.

Singapore's best Social Studies tuition team

Tuition Assignments has Singapore’s largest team of over 57,000 active, qualified and experienced private tutors.

social studies tuition

Learn the correct study skills

Our tutors are very familiar with the latest MOE syllabus. They tailor each Social Studies tuition session according to your learning style, homework requirements and exam grade targets.

Perfect tutor matches

We show you profiles of Social Studies tuition teachers only when their profiles suit your requirements and budget.

Accurate matches for Social Studies tuition

The experienced full-time tuition coordinator who is the project manager for your Social Studies tuition assignment has a Bachelor’s from the top local universities, majoring in Philosophy.

This ensures that we know the right attributes that a good tutor must have, when we shortlist the perfect home tutor for your Social Studies tuition assignment.

Difficult exam questions - why it's happening

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 dramatically 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.

Every year, students trust Tuition Assignments home tutor agency because we have helped them, their siblings and their friends to achieve higher grades.

It is this careful, thorough, and professional ability to match you with the ideal tutor that
differentiates us from other private tutor agents.

Compete against your peers - and win

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.

social studies tuition

You can do better than the others - once you engage a reliable Social Studies tuition teacher

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, at each phase of our academic voyage.

Get a trustworthy private Social Studies tuition teacher who can remember your child’s weaknesses and target those areas through purposeful exercises.

Help your child to stay ahead. It is important for their future.

You need to score well in Social Studies if:

✓ You are interested in Social Studies. 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 Social Studies syllabus and is starting to (or already) dislike Social Studies

✓ You want to pursue a career in Social Studies-related fields such as Law, Social Causes, or Public Policy, and need to maintain a strong A grade

✓ You are taking your SEC exams and need intensive exam preparation

Our resourceful tuition coordinators can find the ideal Social Studies tuition teacher for you, within 6 hours. 

Just let us know your requirements.

We want you to cultivate a strong mindset and history of academic achievements that will allow you to stay motivated and successful in your tertiary goals.

Starting now. 

Social Studies mastery is an important asset

Knowledge itself gives you a very valuable advantage.

Social Studies tuition provides the extra boost for academic knowledge – and your grades.

Confidence during your exams

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 SEC or A-Level exams.

Your classmates managed to score good grades for Social Studies. 

It is likely that this was because they managed to hire a good Social Studies tuition teacher in time for them to start organized and intensive revision and prepare for the exams.

Social Studies, as taught in Singapore schools

Your syllabus is designed by the MOE to ensure that you have a solid foundation in Social Studies, whether or not you plan to take a Humanities major at tertiary level.

Career opportunities requiring Social Studies

Career opportunities in the Public Sector, Banking & Finance, Non-Government Organizations, and Law are attractive and very lucrative

Scoring good grades in Social Studies is therefore useful to you, when you want to broaden your career options

Get an A for Social Studies

The only way you can do well in Social Studies is by having a clear understanding of the important concepts and answering skills that are required in the examination marking schemes and formats.

Affordable and fair tutor rates - how tuition rates are calculated

Our private tutor matching service is free, and parents only need to pay monthly tuition charges for lessons that had been conducted.

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 teachers and university lecturers

How to get the best deals when hiring a Social Studies tuition teacher

Three easy ways to ensure successful grade improvement:

Reduce tutoring requirements

Social Studies 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 Social Studies tuition teachers, 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, SEC 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 content and study skills that have been causing weak grades.

Every year after the March or June school holidays, good tutors usually do not want to accept assignments 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 Social Studies tuition teacher at least one year ahead of the major National Exams.

Budget

We encourage our clients to be realistic with the Social Studies tuition budget that they would like to work within.

Tuition Assignments tuition agency does not regulate nor alter the hourly Social Studies tuition rates.

Social Studies tuition teachers who have proven track records that consistently deliver A grades, Social Studies tuition teachers with many years of tutoring experience, and MOE teachers are already accepting assignments within a certain hourly rate that are paid to them by other parents and students.

As there is always strong demand, limited time slots, and a waiting list for these star tutors, they are not likely to accept fees that are below their current rates.

MOE's syllabus objectives

For Social Studies, the MOE states:

Social Studies seeks to develop the competencies of our students to be informed, concerned and participative citizens by the end of a ten-year Social Studies education. These competencies encompass the body of knowledge, skills and values expressed in the Philosophy of Social Studies and they are elaborated below.

  • have a sense of belonging to their community and nation
  • appreciate the importance of engaging in issues of societal concern
  • be committed to building social cohesion by appreciating diversity in society
  • have an awareness of the ethical considerations and consequences of decision-making.

As participative citizens, students would:

  • be motivated to identify issues of concern and take action
  • be resilient in addressing concerns of the community or society in spite of challenges faced
  • be empowered to take personal and collective responsibility for effecting change for the good of society, and serve to make a positive difference to others.

The assessment objectives are:

Objective 1: Knowledge with Understanding

Candidates should be able to:

  • demonstrate an understanding of societal issues.

USE OF INFORMATION

The primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide the users with a smooth and customized matching experience.

To ensure success of the Tuition Assignment, Tuition Assignments Singapore is selective of the type of students we accept as there is a small percentage of students who are not suitable for tuition.

To assist Tuition Assignments Singapore to make better decisions regarding tuition assignments that match your credentials and expectations, we will ask for your personal information. The personal information collected includes but is not restricting to the following:

 Private information such as name, and birth data
 Contact information such as email address, mobile number and physical residential address

MOE TEACHERS/NIE STUDENTS

Tutors who are current MOE teachers are required to obtain the necessary approval from the Ministry of Education before accepting any assignment from Tuition Assignments Singapore.

ACCURACY OF INFORMATION

The tutor shall fill in as accurately and completely as possible his/her name, contact details, qualifications, results, relevant experience, subject and level preferences, and will update such information in a timely manner.

The tutor shall not mislead users accessing the website and using Tuition Assignments Singapore’ services. You will not provide inaccurate, invalid, false or incomplete information to Tuition Assignments Singapore.

The tutor is solely responsible for any legal liability arising out of or relating to the Tutor Profile submitted to Tuition Assignments Singapore, and shall indemnify Tuition Assignments Singapore against any and all claims, damages, liability, loss, or causes of action (including legal fees and expenses that may be incurred by Tuition Assignments Singapore) in connection with the provision of services by this website.

TUITION REQUESTS AND ASSIGNMENTS

The tutor understands that the information submitted to Tuition Assignments Singapore pertaining to his/her qualifications may be released by Tuition Assignments Singapore to the Client(s) for the purpose of tuition matching.

The tutor and the client explicitly agree to Tuition Assignments Singapore and our network contacting you via Whatsapp, phone call, sms and/or other electronic communications channels to conduct tuition matches.

If the proposed Assignment interests you, please reply us via Whatsapp, sms or through the same electronic communications channel that we contacted you with. There is no need for you to call us.

Please note that Assignments would be confirmed with the client and tutors based on the most qualified match and prompt response from the tutor.

We reserve complete rights to reject any applications for the assignments.

If the tutor is not interested in the Assignment that we contacted you with, please disregard the assignment message.

CLIENTS’ CRITERIA FOR SELECTING TUTORS

The criteria stated by the client for each Tuition Assignment can differ from case to case.

Some clients require MOE teachers, others state their preference for experienced undergraduates with proven experience to improve the grades of their students.

Tuition Assignments are based on tuition demand and how well the profile of each tutor matches with the client’s requirements.

Tuition Assignments Singapore makes tutor recommendations based on the tutors’ known track record in successful tutoring.

The submission of the tutor’s profile to the client does not bind the client to engage the services of the tutor, and remains subject to confirmation by the client.

FEES AND COMMISSION

Once the tutor and the client confirm a match, the tuition rate is non-negotiable once agreed upon.

The client will pay to Tuition Assignments Singapore the fees amounting to half of the fees payable in the first 4 calendar weeks. This amount shall be deemed as the commission to Tuition Assignments Singapore for matching the tutor to the client, and will be borne by the tutor who will forgo receiving the said fees paid by the client. Therefore, no payment will be made by the client to the tutor for half of the lessons conducted in the first month.

Thereafter, the client will pay the tuition fees directly to the tutor. The tutor shall collect all fees due to the tutor from any student or parent after the first two weeks. Tuition Assignments Singapore will not assist in any recovery of fees.

Tuition fees are to be paid every 4 weeks to the tutor, unless otherwise agreed between the client and the tutor.

If lessons are postponed during the first two weeks, the commission payable to Tuition Assignments Singapore will be based on the tuition session conducted the following week(s).

ACCEPTANCE OF ASSIGNMENT

Upon receiving an Assignment Description, the tutor may apply for the Assignment. If the tutor is chosen by the client, the tutor is bound to conduct the lessons as stated in the Assignment Description, or as mutually amended in subsequent communications.

TRIAL LESSON

Paid trial lessons can have 1.5 hour or 2 hour durations.

TUTORING LOCATION

The tutor will be teaching at the student’s residence at the mutually agreed upon time, unless specified and agreed by the client and the tutor. The tutor must provide his/her own transport to the client’s home/lesson location.

FIRST LESSON

Once the client accepts the tutor’s candidacy, the client will not be able to change the schedule of the First Lesson.

Clients are allowed to make changes in the schedule after the First Lesson is over. However, Tuition Assignments Singapore hopes that this is not necessary as the tutor has already reserved that slot of time for the client. If the client wants to make changes in the schedule, the client is to consult with the tutor to ask if he/she is able to change the schedule or not.

The tutor is to bring your academic transcripts/certificates and relevant documents for your first lessons with the client for verification purposes.

If the tutor is unable to conduct the First Lesson of a tuition assignment, the tutor must call Tuition Assignments Singapore at least 3 business days before the actual lesson. If the tutor fails to notify Tuition Assignments Singapore of the tutor’s cancellation/postponement, an administrative charge of S$30 will be imposed on the tutor.

If the tutor fails to contact Tuition Assignments Singapore with a valid reason to inform us about the tutor’s absence from the lesson, the tutor’s profile at Tuition Assignments Singapore may be blacklisted. This will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

You are encouraged to carefully and responsibly consider before committing to an Assignment.

CENTRAL PROVIDENT FUND

Tutors agree to be responsible for all required obligations to the Central Provident Fund as a self-employed person. This is because, you, as a tutor, are providing private tutoring services under a contract of service to the client as an independent contractor. The tutor is not an employee of Tuition Assignments Singapore, and the tutor accepts full responsibility for all income tax, insurance and other liabilities payable in relation to any fees generated from a tuition assignment.

TUTOR REASSIGNMENT OR CANCELLATION OF ASSIGNMENTS

If at any time the client is not satisfied with the tutor, the client may request a replacement or termination. However, the client is responsible for paying the fee for the number of lessons given prior to termination.

Tuition Assignments Singapore will discuss separately with the client and the tutor regarding future tuition arrangements, and Tuition Assignments Singapore will change the tutor for the client. There will not be any extra charges for the change and the client needs to pay just for the tuition session(s) that have been conducted.

If the client cancels a tutoring assignment before the tutor completes the agreed number of lessons for the first 4 calendar weeks, Tuition Assignments Singapore assumes full legal claim to 50% of the tuition fees for the total number of lessons delivered in the month. For example, if the client had requested for 8 lessons per month, but the assignment was cancelled after the 5th session, Tuition Assignments Singapore will be paid commission for the 5 lessons conducted.

Tuition Assignments Singapore will not be liable for any payment charges or issues arising from the cancellation of tuition assignments by the client.

If the client terminates the Assignment because the tutor is often late, skips lessons without valid explanations etc, the tutor will bear Tuition Assignments Singapore’ full commission fee.

If the tutor cancels the Assignment after confirming acceptance (that is, the client’s contact information and address have been given to the tutor), the tutor will need to compensate the commission which amounts to 50% of the fees payable (as stated in the confirmation Whatsapp, sms, email or other forms of electronic communications) for the first 4 weeks.

If the tutor wishes to cancel a Tuition Assignment before the end of the first 4 calendar weeks, the tutor is to inform both Tuition Assignments Singapore as well as the client at least 3 days before the next lesson date. Tuition Assignments Singapore will recover our legal share of the one-time commission of 50% of the fee for the first 4 calendar weeks from the tutor. Tutors are encouraged to have a long-term commitment as the clients have vested their trust in you.

TERMINATION

The client has the right to terminate the tuition if the tutor is unable to produce the documents certifying his/her credentials. In such cases, the tutor has to pay Tuition Assignments Singapore the amount of money equivalent to the tuition fee for the day as commission.

The tutor will receive full or pro-rated payment for the number of lessons rendered, provided the tutor has complied with the Terms of this Agreement.

DISCLAIMER

While Tuition Assignments Singapore tries to provide clients and tutors with the closest tutor match possible, we cannot guarantee a satisfying match. We hold no responsibility or liability for problems, unhappiness, or disputes that are a result of the tutor or client. Tuition Assignments Singapore will not act as an arbitrator for any disagreements that arise between tutor and client. However, Tuition Assignments Singapore may try to mediate whenever possible and reserves all rights to blacklist any party who is at fault. Tuition Assignments Singapore reserves the right to terminate or deny services to any client or tutor at any time.
