Welcome To The Best In Singapore - Home Tuition Division
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 31,000 of Singapore’s most qualified and experienced home tutors.
Since 2012, 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 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:
- 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 are able to give you valuable strategies to answer difficult exam questions
Choose tutors with proven track records today, so that your grades will improve in time for the coming major exams.

Good Reviews By Parents & Students
Comments and feedback of the results of hiring professional home tutors 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 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 lower secondary school days, 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 tuition lesson is great and I always look forward to the intellectual spars that we have.

ASSESSMENT FORMAT
The examination consists of one paper and the duration of the paper is 1 hour 40 minutes. The assessment
modes comprise source-based case study and structured-essay questions.
Section A: Source-Based Case Study
Candidates are required to answer the compulsory source-based case study. The topics for the source-based case study are prescribed and indicated by the symbol (*) in the syllabus content. Candidates are expected to have a sound knowledge of the prescribed units and an understanding of the ways in which sources may be evaluated.
A maximum of six sources may be set for the source-based case study. No individual source will exceed 150 words. One or more differing accounts of the same topic or issue might be set, showing different views as time progresses or in communicating to different audiences. Sources may be simplified where necessary.
Obscure terms (other than those which should be known to those who have studied the syllabus) will be annotated.
Each source-based case study will have 5 questions. 4 questions will test Objectives 1 and 3, and require candidates to interpret and evaluate source materials. The fifth question will require candidates to use the evidence in the sources and their contextual knowledge to demonstrate the skills of analysis, explanation and judgement for an issue related to the topic assessed in the source-based case study.
The weighting for each question will be indicated in brackets. A ‘Levels of Response Mark Scheme’ (LORMs) will be used to assess candidates’ answers. Answers to the questions will be graded according to the coherence and consistency of the argument. Credit will be given to points offered by candidates that are not on the suggested marking schemes as long as the points are logical and sufficiently substantiated.
Section B: Structured-Essay Questions
Candidates are required to answer 1 out of 2 questions set. The questions will test Objectives 1 and 2 and will consist of 2 sub-parts which will test different skills. Part (a) will require candidates to construct an explanation of events and/or issues while part (b) will require candidates to evaluate and make judgement on events and/or issues.
Each question is worth a total of 20 marks with part (a) worth 8 marks and part (b) worth 12 marks. The questions will be marked using the ‘Levels of Response Mark Scheme’ (LORMs).
Questions will be set on any issue / topic within the units in the syllabus except for the issue assessed in the source-based case study in Section A in the same year of examination.”
