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?

The Best In 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 The Best In Singapore half of the fees payable in the first 4 calendar weeks. This amount is the commission to The Best In 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 The Best In 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. The Best In 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 The Best In Singapore and we will transfer the tutor’s fee to him/her.

Tutors are not authorized at any time to collect the payment on The Best In 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 The Best In Singapore’s bank account.

If the client fails to pay us, The Best In 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, The Best In 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 The Best In Singapore at least 3 business days before the actual lesson. If the tutor fails to notify The Best In Singapore of his/her cancellation/postponement, an administrative charge of S$30 will be imposed on him/her.

If the tutor fails to contact The Best In Singapore with a valid reason to inform us about the tutor’s absence from the lesson, the tutor’s profile at The Best In 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), The Best In Singapore will ask if the tutor is able to accommodate the request.

The Best In 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.

The Best In Singapore will discuss separately with the client and the tutor regarding future tuition arrangements, and The Best In 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, The Best In 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, The Best In Singapore will be paid pro-rated commission for the 5 lessons conducted.

The Best In 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 The Best In 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 The Best In Singapore as well as the client at least 3 days before the next lesson date. The Best In 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 The Best In Singapore the amount of money equivalent to the tuition fee for the day, as commission.

Exams now require students to be able to remember large chunks of information, analyze complicated scenarios and then come up with appropriate answers.

The easier part of all these important tasks is probably the memorization of content from your textbooks. It certainly is more challenging to be able to correctly develop your higher-order thinking skills. Once you can do this, you will then need to apply the analyses are required by the increasingly difficult exam questions. Your school teachers are very good, but they are sometimes too busy to answer every question that you have.

In order to consistently achieve higher grades, you need appropriate guidance from exceptional home tutors who:

  1. Have proven track records of guiding their students to better understand and apply the complex information 
  2. Help you avoid careless mistakes

Comments and feedback of the results of hiring professional home tutors from The Best In Singapore

geography tuition

Geog is interesting, but I will not be taking it at uni level, so it takes more effort to get me to want to study it the way I have been studying for the Sciences. I want to major in a science-related field, and maybe get my Master's as well. First things first, I need to score well for all my subjects at my A Levels, and Ms Rebeka has been very nurturing. I got my A at A Levels, thanks to her!

Shona Koh
Eunoia Junior College

Have been depending on Geog to get me a good A grade because it has been my favourite subject since Sec 3. Madam Koh from The Best In Singapore has been my Geog tuition teacher since Sec 3 and she is my favourite tutor even now that I am in JC2.

Richard Sim

There is quite a lot for me to memorize and analyze when studying Geography. I find it harder to score well in Geography than in my other subjects. Mr Ho from The Best In Singapore has been teaching Geog for about 15 years, and he understands the struggles that the weaker Geog students go through.

Phoon Huei
Clementi Town Secondary School

Geog was alright earlier this year. I was disappointed with the grades I got, though. Mr Jack from The Best In Singapore was able to identify where I went wrong in my answers. He taught me how to write using information that the teacher would want to see in my answers. I have been getting a minimum of B's ever since.

• extract relevant information from geographical data
• interpret and recognise patterns in geographical data and deduce relationships
• organise and present geographic information in a coherent way
• analyse, evaluate and synthesise geographical data to make informed and sound decisions.

AO2: Critical Understanding and Constructing Explanation
• select, organise and apply concepts, terms and facts learnt
• make judgements, recommendations and decisions
• evaluate data collection methods and suggest improvements
AO3: Interpreting and Evaluating Geographical Data
• comprehend and extract relevant information from geographical data (numerical, diagrammatic, pictorial and graphical forms)
• use and apply geographical knowledge and understanding to interpret geographical data
– recognise patterns in geographical data and deduce relationships
– compare and contrast different views
– present geographical data in an appropriate form and in an effective manner
– draw conclusions based on a reasoned consideration of evidence
• evaluate the validity and limitations of fieldwork evidence and of the conclusions reached

SCHEME OF ASSESSMENT
The examination consists of two papers – Paper 1 and Paper 2, taken at separate sittings. The duration of
Paper 1 is 1 hour 40 minutes and Paper 2 is 1 hour 30 minutes.
Candidates will answer a total of four questions and each question carries equal weighting (25% each). The question in Section A of Paper 1 consists of no more than 10 parts, including sub-division of parts. Each question in Section B of Paper 1 and in Paper 2 consists of no more than five parts, including sub-division of parts. 

This includes an open-ended question, which will be marked according to level descriptors and capped at a maximum of 8 marks. Each open-ended question will be marked based on 3 levels. The question in Section A of Paper 1 and the remaining part-questions in Section B of Paper 1 and in Paper 2 will be marked using point marking.

Note:
Stimulus materials will be used where they facilitate the application of content to new contexts and issues. 

A non-exhaustive list of stimulus materials includes topographic and other maps, photographs, diagrams, sketches and texts. Map reading and skills of photograph interpretation, construction/completion of data presentation, interpretation of data (primary and secondary), and simple descriptive analysis of statistical data may be examined in both Papers 1 and 2. 

For map reading, this may only be tested in context as a sub-part of a question. It will not be set as a full 25 mark question. Candidates may be assessed in the application of geographical knowledge in decision-making processes. Geographical investigations in the form of a fieldwork case study will only be examined in Section A of Paper 1.
