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 Lit results got a little better around June, but still not good enough for me to feel confident about taking my A Levels the next year. We hired Mr Brandon from The Best In Singapore. He has been teaching A Level Lit at a tuition centre for 5 years and has many private tuition students. There was a wait list, and I am glad that he was able to teach me. I managed to get an A after guidance from him. No wonder he is so popular! He is very good.
Alfred Pek
Anderson Serangoon Junior College
I much prefer life in Sec 2. The syllabus for everything was simpler then. I don't really like Lit all that much, but of course, I need to work hard at it so that my Lit grades won't drag my overall scores down. Ms Alicia is an ex-MOE teacher and she is very familiar with how I must approach the way I learn and interpret the questions. She works only with The Best In Singapore, so I am glad that I contacted the right agency to get an experienced tuition teacher.
Yap Chi Leng
Pei Hwa Secondary School
My English grades had always been good, but I was recently having problems with Lit. My learning methods were wrong, but I didn't know how to correct them. Mr Lim has a Master's in Linguistics and is very familiar with how to score well for Lit because he himself scored A's for Lit in secondary school and JC. My Lit grades started to improve after about a month of lessons because Mr Lim was able to point out why I was losing marks.
Audrey Goh
Fairfield Methodist School (Secondary)
JC1 Lit was OK - I managed to get an A. I want to make sure that my O Level Lit would also be an A, and we carefully looked around for a tutor who has a good record of helping high-ability students. Ms Teo mostly teaches IP students, so I was sure that she would be able to help me maintain my grades. She is friendly yet strict, and she knows the syllabus and exam requirements very well.
