History Tuition Singapore

Hello 🙂 I am Amelia Lee, PhD – Princeton University, Materials Science Engineering.

I am one of the co-founders of The Best In Singapore, and I lead our Education Division comprising over 55,000 of Singapore’s most qualified and experienced home tutors.

Since 2011, we have established a strong track record of helping our students achieve better grades.

You have probably heard about us from your school teachers, classmates, relatives or colleagues.

Getting into a good school and maintaining good grades is important for anyone who wants to do well in their chosen career – whether you plan to eventually work in Singapore, Asia, Europe or the United States.

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

The marking schemes for all exams in Singapore are very rigid and strict.

Pupils must give a fixed set of answers that is on the SEAB-MOE’s approved list. Any slight deviations will lead to a loss of marks.

Students must therefore learn from tuition teachers who have strong subject and curriculum knowledge, and who are highly experienced in helping their students give the correct answers within these tight parameters.

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, which are the very techniques that you must have so that you can have a breakthrough in grades.

Once you can synthesize the content in the MOE syllabus, 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.

Home tutors from The Best In Singapore teach you how to learn.

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

  • Have proven track records of guiding their students to better understand and apply the complex information
  • Help you avoid careless mistakes
  • Can identify what the exam questions really want you to do
  • Are able to give you valuable strategies to answer difficult exam questions
  • Assist you in producing answers that fit within what the SEAB-MOE has firmly established as the only answers that they will accept


Being astute and pragmatic educationists ourselves, we include tutors in our team only if they have between 2 to over 30 years of teaching/tutoring experience. They are MOE teachers, or experienced tutors with PhD/Master’s/Bachelor’s/university undergraduates in the subject that they give home tuition in.

Choose tutors with proven track records today, so that you will gain many marks in time for the coming major exams.

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.

The importance of History

History is full of some of the most fascinating stories ever told, including love stories, pirates, treasure, mysteries, and adventures.

There is a history of every topic and field.

Whether you are interested in music, gaming, fashion, movies, science or economic issues, there is a history to go along with it.

Dive a little deeper into any topic’s history and you will be surprised by what you might find in the process.

History allows us to study both continuity and change over time.

It helps to explain how we have changed throughout time, and covers all aspects of human society.

Technological, cultural, religious, political, scientific, military, social, medical, intellectual, and economic developments are all part of History.

Non-historians often say that “history repeats itself” or that “things have always been this way”.

History cannot repeat itself because it is not a living, thinking being.

History is an intellectual discipline that is practiced by historians and researchers who try to understand and appreciate the past.

Because History is about change, nothing was ever “always the same” in a specific way.

Non-historians often romanticize the past and speak of “the good old days” because they believe that things were better than at present.

Processes of historical change cannot be categorized as either simple progress or regression.

Rather, historical activities do involve complex relations between interrelated factors.

Historians know that all sources – even those distinctive to a particular historical time period – have some biases, contradictions, omissions or other multifaceted limitations.

There are many different interpretations of the transformation of societies and civilizations over time.  

Historians must recognize the difference between facts and interpretations in their field.

No historian can be 100% objective, but historians try to recognize their own limitations and biases.

They try not to place the behaviours, attitudes, beliefs and values of the present onto the topics that they study.

Instead, they try to reconstruct the diversity of how profoundly people have differed in their ideas, cultural practices and institutions in those eras, and not in the context of how people think and behave in today’s societies.

This means that historians need to conduct thorough investigations in order to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of different original sources and archives of information to support their conclusions.

History helps us understand change.

History is full of transitions that have altered the world’s story.

It gives us a clearer picture of how the different components of society – such as government systems, health, education, entertainment, and even the community as a whole – functioned in the past, so that we can understand why it came to work the way it is now.

HISTORY TEACHES YOU THESE PRACTICAL SKILLS

History students learn diverse skills that can lead to career paths in many sectors.

The sophisticated research and analysis techniques you gain through your syllabus are arguably more important than the specific facts you memorize.

They act as investigators, studying the past for clues to better understand history and link past events to the present.

To generate information and conclusions, a history student learns to objectively find and assess relevant and reputable sources so that they can decipher and evaluate the accuracy, and reliability from various factual perspectives – and are not just the writers’ opinions.

Historians choose information from multiple primary (written at the time) and secondary (written about a time period, after the fact) sources, as well as other documents to identify relevant information to enable arguments based on their analysis.

History students often use vital analytical skills when writing in-depth research papers about historical events, integrating their critical analysis of information into a well-reasoned persuasive argument supported by evidence.

Learning History equips you with many transferable skills that can prove to be an advantage in the business world.

After all, the core of History is the study of people and the ways in which they behave when encountering different circumstances.

Even if you’re not in a customer-focused industry, having a strong understanding of people and what makes them behave they do is beneficial in any business.

When you explore your career options, you might find there’s a perfect place for history buffs like you in an industry you might not have expected.

By learning to become users of historical information, students understand:

  • The development of transferable techniques that include investigative, problem solving, research, decision-making, and analytical aptitude
  • You will gain analytical dexterity, have an enquiring mind, and sharpen the ability to think logically
  • The thorough and methodical approach to how you learn, assimilate and present important information
  • How to deepen your organizational aptitude to plan and carry out projects
  • How to explain results clearly and concisely
  • Understand how historical events relate to each other


WHY STUDY HISTORY?

By looking at specific stories of individuals and situations, can study the great people of history who successfully worked through moral dilemmas, and also ordinary people who teach us lessons in courage, persistence and ingenuity.

Interesting events in the past:

  • In 18th century England, pineapples were a status symbol. Those rich enough to own a pineapple would carry them around to show that their wealth and social status
  • Modern humans first appeared around 200,000 years ago. It is estimated that about 97% of history has been lost over time. Written accounts of history started only about 6,000 years ago
  • In Ancient Greece, wearing skirts was manly and Greeks would mock any men who wore trousers because they were considered effeminate
  • The tallest married couple ever recorded was Anna Haining Swan, who was 2.4 meters, and Martin Van Buren Bates, who was 2.3 meters tall. When she gave birth, Swan’s baby weighed 10kg
  • Emperor Augustus Caesar was the wealthiest man to ever live in history. He was Julius Caesar’s nephew, and had an estimated net worth of US$460 billion, when counting for inflation
  • Mary really did have a little lamb. Mary Sawyer was an 11-year old girl who lived in Boston. One day, her pet lamb followed her to school. In the late 1860s, she helped raise money for an old church by selling wool from the lamb
  • It snowed in the Sahara Desert for 30 minutes on 18 February, 1979
  • Before 1687, clocks were made with only an hour hand
  • 46 BC was 445 days long. It is the longest year in human history, and had two extra leap months inserted by Julius Caesar. This was done so that his newly-formed Julian Calendar could match up with the seasonal year
  • The Eastern Roman Empire’s weapon, called Greek Fire, was used in ship-mounted flamethrowers. This weapon was deadly because throwing water onto it would only feed the fire
  • 100 million years ago, the Sahara Desert was a lush oasis that was full of life. And full of predators. In 2009, fossil hunters found the remains of crocodiles that had large land-roaming legs that were capable of dashing around at breakneck speeds
  • Cars were created in the 19th century when European engineers Karl Benz and Emile Levassor were working on automobile inventions. Benz patented the first automobile in 1886.
  • Humans have been performing dentistry since 7000 B.C. This makes dentistry one of the oldest professions
  • The original site of the Eiffel Tower was supposed to be in Barcelona, Spain. However, the project was rejected because citizens thought it was an eyesore
  • Tsutomu Yamaguchi survived both the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and then later Nagasaki. He was a 29-year-old Naval Engineer on a three-month business trip to Hiroshima. On 6th August 1945, he survived the atomic bomb, despite being less than 3km from the explosion. On 7th August 1945, he took a train back to his hometown of Nagasaki. He was with colleagues in an office building on 9th August when the second atomic bomb fell. Yamaguchi emerged from the wreckage with only minor injuries. He had survived two nuclear blasts in two days
  • The South African railway once employed a baboon. In his nine years of service, Jack the baboon never made a single mistake when operating railway signals


BENEFITS OF STUDYING HISTORY  

Historians use various research tools and techniques to investigate people, places and consequential events.

History students learn to analyze, contextualize and properly cite their sources.

Historians also use verifiable evidence that include artifacts and statistical data to offer a view of the world that is complicated, incomplete and sometimes even contradictory.

They then craft narratives that inform the public, and add to an ever-growing historical record.

WHAT REWARDING CAREERS/SPECIALTY AREAS REQUIRE KNOWLEDGE OF HISTORY?

A History degree may not lend itself to a direct career path, like say an engineering degree or a medical degree, but the skills you learn are highly valuable and can be applied to a wide array of career choices ranging from the arts to business to government.

History majors explore topics like art, science, economics, religion, technology, architecture, and politics throughout the past.

Earning a history degree qualifies graduates for career opportunities at museums, architectural firms, technical consulting companies, schools, and libraries.

Historians explore and interpret past events and eras.

Successful professionals in this field regularly possess strong analytical, research, writing, and foreign language skills.

Pursuing a career in business as a history major may not seem like an obvious choice, but a history degree develops the skills you need to analyze market trends and help organizations create strategic business plans. Common positions include consultants, economists, and market analysts.

Think History is a rigid and boring subject? Think again.

For students passionate about History, the career prospects are exciting, extensive, rewarding and diverse with high levels of responsibility, access to the latest advancements in your field, and the potential for high financial income.

The following examples often involve working with complex concepts, and a deep understanding of historical developments.

So, which are the best paying jobs requiring knowledge of History?

You can consider some of the many job roles and specialty areas for those with a History degree:

Museum Curator, Journalist, History Professor, Librarian, Writer, Business Consultant, Art Gallery Curator, Paralegal, Academic Researcher, Market Analyst, Political Assistant, Media Director, Archivist, Museum Exhibitions Officer, Broadcast Journalist, Religious Historian, Lawyer, Marketing Executive, Historic Buildings Conservation Officer, Archivist, Dramaturge, Community Organiser (Tours, Festivals, Experiences), Human Resources Manager, Communications Manager, Healthcare Public Relations, Historian, Journalist, Museum Education Officer, Event Service Specialist, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Executive, Anthropologist, Political Historian, Heritage Manager, Museum Curator, Earth Sciences Executive, Academic Librarian, Archaeologist, Editor, Public Policy Officer, Military Historian, Advertising and Marketing Manager, Genealogist, Administrative Support Officer, Political Scientist, Heritage Organization Manager, Market Research Analyst, International Development Organizations Director, Publishing Company Manager, Television and Radio Broadcaster, Social Media Manager.

History is a multi-faceted and ever-evolving field as there are constantly new questions to answer and challenges to overcome.

History specialists tend to be predominantly investigative individuals, which means that they are quite inquisitive and curious people that often like to spend time alone with their thoughts.

They also tend to be realistic, and often enjoy working outdoors or applying themselves to a hands-on project.

Historians also possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

People with strong History knowledge will certainly continue to be a vital part of the workforce to help significantly improve people’s daily lives.

HOW TO STUDY HISTORY

There are several ways of studying and teaching History.

Most of us would think of spending days on memorizing names, dates and places of major historical events.

Decades ago, that kind of rote learning was important, but things (and the History exam marking scheme) have changed.

Today, learning History is about making connections and understanding not just what happened.

You will be expected to know why the events happened, and “so what?”.

Reconstructing the facts of the past isn’t a simple process.

You need to consider the facts that are available, look at how they’re connected, and draw reasonable conclusions.

Studying this way helps you see the relevance and importance of History, while giving you a deeper and more lasting understanding of what happened.

Why is studying History difficult?

History is a progressive subject.

Anything you learn in the beginning of your History syllabus will be used later in curriculum.

So, you need to really pay attention and understand.

Especially in the beginning.

You will see over and over again the interwoven topics and materials that you had learned before your first History exam, in subsequent lessons and exams.

This means that you have to get it right from the beginning, or risk being left behind.

If you feel the need to slack off at all or to take a break, do it near the end of the semester/academic year.

It is best that you aim for an A right from the beginning because many top-scoring students find that their grades start to slip when the content gets more complex.

They typically face difficulties in History when they struggle to grasp foundational concepts, encounter tougher mathematical calculations, fail to make connections between different topics, and find it challenging to engage in abstract and logical reasoning.

The unfamiliarity, volume and speed of information presented in History can be overwhelming for many students.

The vast expanse of knowledge, intricate terminologies, and the interwoven complexities often pose hurdles.

Many students grapple with the sheer volume of information and the abstract nature of History.

Reading and understanding extensive material by yourself at home can become intimidating, and this can discourage the pursuit of better grades.

By using the practical and easy tips below, you can master your History syllabus.

Memorizing basic information is helpful, but real learning comes from conceptual understanding.

Conceptual understanding is the goal.

To achieve this, it is crucial to note:

  1. History is a vast discipline. You learn the basic and build on them, and you also need to switch gears each time you enter into new territory
  2. There is always something new to throw into whatever you had learnt and memorized
  3. Some memorization is required, but mostly you need to think. You need to get used to working through how something works
  4. To put it simply, there is a lot to learn and only a limited time for you to be adequately prepared for your exams
  5. History is hard because you think it is hard. If you think something is difficult, you are setting up yourself to fulfil that expectation. You therefore need to truly believe that you can learn History. You may need to learn new study skills and change the way you organize your time, but anyone with the determination to learn History can do so. Once you succeed, you will gain a deep sense of accomplishment
  6. The more times you hear and practice the materials, the easier it will get. Sections and chapters are constructed to highlight and guide you through particularly important concepts and historical activities, so do revisit the content regularly. This can help you to increase your understanding and retention of the topic
  7. If you did not answer any test questions correctly, go back and learn that exact material until you master it. Do this before even more content is covered by your teacher in class
  8. See the “big picture”, the hierarchical structure of historical information
  9. Be able to understand how and why historical events happened the way they did
  10. Grasp not only the definition of terms but why they are important
  11. Do the assigned readings before your teacher covers it in school. Read and take notes on the assigned material before you come to class. This will enhance your understanding of the lecture and make note-taking easier
  12. Check your understanding. After reading a section in the book, ask yourself if you could explain the material to your sibling or a friend. Reviewing questions and quizzes at the end of each chapter is also a great way to check your understanding of what you just learned
  13. Convert your notes into study aids. When studying for exams, do not simply re-read your notes. Instead, convert your notes into matrices, concept maps or other visual representations of the material. Re-reading your notes is not enough
  14. Form a study group. Working with a small group of 3 to 4 students will enhance your learning and comprehension. Teaching others is one of the best ways to learn History
  15. Partner with an admired History mentor

HOW TO TURN THIS MONTH INTO A SPRINGBOARD FOR SUCCESS IN YOUR NEXT EXAM

History examinations are a significant milestone, and demonstrate how much of the content you have mastered.

Yet, the complexity of the History syllabus can be a demoralizing challenge for many students.

To do well in any exam, we need to rely on discipline, not just motivation.

All top students know that they will not always feel like studying.

Motivation is fickle and can often disappear when your mood changes.

Discipline – on the other hand – means studying even when you don’t feel like it, and even when you do not feel motivated.

Strategic planning and systematic preparation play a formidable role in navigating these hurdles and achieving success in History.

There are days when you have to force yourself to do the work you need to. No matter how you feel.

And you have to stick to your schedule, despite everything else that is going on around you.

THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO LEARN HISTORY   

Success in History exams depends on a combination of factors, from extensive understanding to efficient study methods.

  • Try to understand patterns.
    The human mind loves categorising information and looking for relationships between the different things we encounter. This is how our minds make sense of the world around us
  • Top students make use this way of thinking when it comes to studying as well
  • They look at the bigger picture and they look for patterns in the History syllabus that will help them make sense of different – yet interrelated – topics
  • Understanding the bigger picture, and how different topics relate to one another, will help you comprehend, memorise, and recall your work better.
  • Try understanding the “why”
  • It is not enough to just know “how” to solve a problem or approach an exam question, because you are expected to be able to apply the theory that you had learned
  • Top students also know “why” you have to do things in a certain way. Understanding “why” will help you gain a deeper understanding of the work. This will then help you to internalise/absorb it more effectively This is particularly true when learning History
  • Understanding the theory behind certain things will help you answer unfamiliar questions – not only in your exams, but when you enter the workforce as well.

Adopting a structured study schedule, breaking down the syllabus into manageable sections, and dedicating focused study sessions to each topic significantly enhances comprehension and retention.

TACKLING THE RIGOUR OF HISTORY EXAMS  

History exams in Singapore are renowned for their depth and complexity, often posing an alarming challenge for students.

The partnership between the Ministry of Education and the University of Cambridge in crafting these examinations based on local requirements and global industry developments in History elevates their difficulty level.

Overcoming these challenges demands focused attention, a deep understanding of concepts, and strategic application of knowledge.

IMPORTANCE OF SYSTEMIC STUDYING AND STRATEGIC PREPARATION WITH EXPERT GUIDANCE

Cultivating a habit of regular revision and addressing weak areas play a significant role in mastering History.

A proven method to do well in History examinations is to have access to an experienced tutor in Singapore who is an expert at systematic studying and who is good at simplifying complex History concepts.

You will learn mind mapping, and how to create appropriate notes.

Importantly, you will be equipped with the exact key phrases to use for explanations and answers that fastidious exam markers require.

CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD HISTORY TUTOR

You can be a top student too!

Don’t think for a second that there is any real difference between you and a top-achieving student when it comes to what you are capable of.

The only thing standing between you and much better marks is working harder, and working smarter.

So if you want to get to the top of your class, and pass your course with distinction, you just have to cultivate better study habits.

Every student wants to do well.

But those with clear goals are the ones who manage to push themselves a bit further each time.

For each semester and each exam, you have to create a realistic goal for yourself regarding the mark you want to achieve. And each goal should be a just little higher than the previous one.

In a world where the pursuit of knowledge and good grades is inevitable, the choice of the right History tuition teacher – whether in-person or through online tuition in Singapore – can define the types of grades that you will have over the next 3 months, for your upcoming school assessments, and the national exams.

Effective History tuition helps you overcome academic hurdles and is a productive gateway to a deeper understanding and profound appreciation for how History impacts our lives.

Good reviews by parents & students
Comments and feedback of the results of hiring professional History tuition teachers from The Best In Singapore

My parents looked at my History exam questions and answer requirements. They commented that the History marking scheme and syllabus during their time is very different from what I am going through now. We hired Ms Christine from The Best In Singapore. She has a Master's in Political Science and her Bachelor's was in South East Asian History. Ms Christine has been a History tuition teacher for 12 years, and knows how to help me connect the information in ways I can remember and the present properly in the exam questions.

Clement Tan
Catholic High School

It was only after my first History assessment that I realized that it is important to not just memorize a lot of information: I also need to be able to synthesize and analyze. I suppose this is good preparation for writing papers at JC and uni level. I still needed help to bridge the information I learnt and what I am able to write, and Mr Stephen has been very good at teaching me useful exam techniques.

Lin Xiu Chu
Northland Secondary School

Secondary school History was quite OK. I scored an A for my O Levels, and want to score an A for my A Level History. Mr Chang taught at a History tuition centre for 7 years, and he could immediately identify what I needed to do better, in order to be sure that I can get the A. He was very right, and I worked hard to apply whatever he taught me. I got my A!

Ng Yin Liang
St Andrew’s Junior College

From my earlier IP years, I have been interested in analytical stuff. History has that element and the questions require us to think more deeply about issues that affected developments in the past. I am so very glad that we found Ms Josephine through The Best In Singapore. Every History tuition lesson is great and I always look forward to the intellectual spars that we have.

How to choose the right History tuition teacher

Knowing if a History tuition teacher is suitable for your child can be challenging for a parent.

There are many things to consider, such as the History tuition teacher’s qualifications, experience, and personality.

Some key signs can help you determine whether a tutor is right for your child.

Here are five things to look for in a good home tutor:

This is the most crucial factor when deciding whether or not to hire a home tutor. When choosing a History tuition teacher, you should ensure that this person is knowledgeable in the content your child needs help with.

Technical knowledge is one’s level of understanding about a subject or procedure.

History tuition teachers should have an appropriate level of technical expertise to help their students master and advance in a particular chapter or skill area.

A private tutor who has taught and understands the challenges faced by children of different age groups and types of students’ learning capacities will also be beneficial to your child.

Having a positive attitude can make the difference between a motivated student and an unmotivated student.

A good History tuition teacher would give his/her students praise, emphasize their strong points and encourage them to challenge themselves.

To spark curiosity, motivate, and advance learning, tutors must be clear and engaging speakers.

To accurately respond to learners’ needs as their lessons progress, tutors must also be excellent active listeners.

Tutors must be good at using listening and oral response as informal assessments to move the lesson in a direction that best serves the learners.

It is essential to find a History tuition teacher who communicates concepts and ideas in a way your child can understand.

After all, the primary goal of any tutor – whether helping you with Biology, Math, Geography, Economics, or any other subject – is to ensure that you grasp the material correctly.

The best tutors listen intently to your questions and clearly explain solutions in language that is easy to comprehend. They break down complex topics into logical steps and provide real-world examples to illustrate and demonstrate.

Then, they apply the teaching strategies that best suit each learner, using the most effective methods for learning new subjects or reinforcing the knowledge they had already learnt in school. 

Some people naturally enjoy learning, while others could enjoy learning more if they had the right person to help them.

That is why it is so crucial for History tuition teachers to show compassion towards their students who struggle with learning and retaining information.

Empathy can motivate tutors to be more aware of the areas that their students find challenging, while also empowering their students themselves to continue learning.

Patience – the ability to remain calm, open-minded and respectful – is an essential skill for tutors that want to promote a quality learning experience.

This is because tutors have advanced knowledge in a subject and need to help someone with little-to-no knowledge.

By staying calm, the tutor can ensure that the session runs smoothly, and also help the student to practice self-patience in order to conquer challenging topics.

An experienced Chemistry tuition teacher will take the time to understand where your children are struggling and explain concepts using words that make sense to them.

The Chemistry tuition teacher should also be able to adjust their teaching methods as needed, to meet students’ individual needs better.

An effective Chemistry tuition teacher will listen carefully and provide guidance with kindness and respect for the unique learning style.

Active listening is the process when someone demonstrates their attention toward the speaker by carefully observing, maintaining eye contact, nodding and interjecting dialogue when appropriate.

Chemistry tuition teachers should display active listening when a student describes their concerns or has a question.

This helps the student feel heard and valued, and also helps the Chemistry tuition teacher to determine the best way to help them.

Students who engage a History tuition teacher want to correct a deficiency or boost their confidence in some topic. A disorganized, ill-prepared tutor can cause further problems in their learning.

Problem-solving – an ability to identify a problem and create solutions – contributes to a beneficial tutoring experience for students.

This is because History tuition teachers regularly help their students to solve problems, and to reach new skill levels in a topic.

History tuition teachers should be able to identify the root cause of what is holding students back from fully understanding a topic, before starting to provide solutions.

When choosing a History tuition teacher, you must find someone with whom you can trust and work comfortably together.

It should feel like the History tuition teacher is trying to help your child learn and make the most out of each session.

Good History tuition teachers are friendly and respectful, take the time to listen to your children and understand their needs, provide constructive feedback, and make learning enjoyable while maintaining structure and discipline when needed.

Learners benefit from History tuition teachers who show up consistently, treat them honestly and kindly, and genuinely want to see them succeed.

In this way, trust is built, and students view the History tuition teacher as someone with integrity.

The heart of every tutoring session is the tutor’s ability to understand the student’s unique needs and help them improve.

With these qualities in mind, finding the right tutor can make all the difference in achieving success in your studies.

So, if your child is falling behind in school or wants a little extra help to get ahead, do not be afraid to reach out to a home tutoring service. 

Just make sure you do your research and find someone knowledgeable in the subject you need help with, who can explain things in a way that you can understand, is patient and willing to answer all of your questions, and who makes you feel comfortable communicating with them.

The Best In Singapore will do the hard work for you, and will select the most compatible tutor from our pool of 55,000+ outstanding tutors.

Typically, parents request for MOE teachers and experienced tutors.

The tutor and the client will be solely responsible for any issues arising from the information that the client and you have submitted to us.

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, The Best In 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 The Best In 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

MOE TEACHERS/NIE STUDENTS

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 The Best In Singapore’ services. You will not provide inaccurate, invalid, false or incomplete information to The Best In Singapore.

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

TUITION REQUESTS AND ASSIGNMENTS

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

The tutor and the client explicitly agree to The Best In 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.

The Best In 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 The Best In 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 The Best In 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. The Best In 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 The Best In 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, The Best In 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 The Best In Singapore at least 3 business days before the actual lesson. If the tutor fails to notify The Best In 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 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.

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 The Best In 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.

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 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, The Best In Singapore will be paid 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’ 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 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 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 The Best In 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 The Best In 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. The Best In Singapore will not act as an arbitrator for any disagreements that arise between tutor and client. However, The Best In Singapore may try to mediate whenever possible and reserves all rights to blacklist any party who is at fault. The Best In Singapore reserves the right to terminate or deny services to any client or tutor at any time.
