Literature 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 Literature

Literature is for everyone, no matter what your future career aspirations or university major may be.

Even in the age of TikTok and Youtube, Literature broadens your horizons.

Studying literature develops your creative mind, inspiring innovation and imagination.

Literature spans various genres, including drama, poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction where writers are able to explore a multifaceted range of styles and themes.

Writers are able to draw inspiration from their personal experiences, observations, or undiluted imagination, to craft unique worlds and characters that intrigue their readers.

Literature gives us an in-depth window into places, people and situations we would not have been able to experience otherwise.

It can vividly transport us to another time and location, simply by reading these stories.

We share the sad, angry, inspired, blissfully happy feelings that are evoked with the characters in the book.

When we study the literary traditions of different cultures around the world, we get a deeper understanding of what that culture’s writing styles describe about the values of its people and their world views.

It can be extremely delightful to find that our exact thoughts and feelings have been experienced by someone else, when we come across characters or poems that resonate deeply with us.

Literature teaches us how to read and interpret complex texts, write persuasive interpretations, and use theoretical frames for literary and cultural interpretation.

Creative writing is the imaginative and expressive use of language to convey stories, ideas, and emotions.

It emphasizes originality and the ability to fascinate readers through innovative narratives through short stories, essays, poetry and drama.

To live a fulfilling life, we must think critically.

It helps us figure out what the truth is, so that we can work through problems through engaging with history. It is much more exhilarating than learning a timeline or memorizing significant facts.

Literature is an excellent way for us to develop our critical thinking skills.

Reading words from a page in a good book requires us to mentally create the scene and dialogue, whereas watching a movie requires very little mental work.

Readers must pay attention to details, form relationships, and develop their individual ideas, to completely understand what is going on in the book.

Regardless of the book’s fiction, focus or genre, readers are exposed to cultural perspectives from the time when it was written.

LITERATURE TEACHES YOU THESE PRACTICAL SKILLS

When you study Literature, you will be taught how to think deeply about everything that you read and dissect.

You will have to look at a literary work from all angles, and consider what is the most essential and indispensable.

Then, you will need to satisfactorily articulate these analyses.

Through this – and because you will have spent a lot of time studying various points of view – you can understand arguments from multiple perspectives, and logically defend your hypotheses.

The richness of storytelling, the depth of human experience, and the ability to traverse different perspectives and cultures – are all made possible through Literature.

We are able to empathize with others, learn from history, and imagine new possibilities.

Students who did well in Literature often move on to careers in law, corporate communications, government policy making, teaching, media, language pathology, entrepreneurship, medicine and video game design.

Literature teaches us analytical reading, information literacy and research skills, effective writing, critical and synthetic thinking, awareness of diverse perspective, imaginative problem-solving, ability to connect with a heterogeneous audience, and emotional intelligence.

By learning to become users of 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 Literature concepts relate to each other


WHY STUDY LITERATURE?

Students from all backgrounds find that their Literature studies open their minds to unique perspectives and give them real-world skills, which are useful no matter what your career aspirations eventually area.

When we read during Literature lessons, we learn to look between the lines.

We are taught to make connections, find themes and symbols, and to learn about characters.

This helps us look at texts with greater detail and depth, and the realize the importance of hidden meanings.

Literature is hundreds and hundreds of years of human knowledge, craftsmanship and pure unbridled creativity.

History and Literature are intertwined with each other.

History is not only about wars, power struggles, names and dates.

It is about people who are products of their time, with their own lives.

Today’s world is very different from the 1900’s or the 1500’s.

Literature helps us stay connected with our past because Literature also encompasses storytelling about our past.

When we read about history, religious studies or anthropology, we learn about and empathize with cultures, places, insights and beliefs that are different from our own.

By being a voracious reader, when our eyes read the words and we take in the contents of the book, dissect how the author imagined and wrote it.

Many of those authors, poets or playwrights used Literature to expand their works of classical and contemporary Literature.

Through poems, novels, essays or short stories, Literature helps us address human nature.

We have a constant need for growth, the company of friends or family, to be loved and to reciprocate love, to trust and be trusted by those around us.

We have doubts and fears of success and failure, realize that life is full of imperfections, and we want to share our happy moments with people who are consequential to us.

Each of us is capable of so much emotion, and all of that is reflected in our collective Literature.

Literature is our outlet for emotive expression.

It is humankind narrating itself in the most honest, authentic way.

Literature addresses our undeniable intuitive need to share.

We need Literature in order to connect with our own humanity.

BENEFITS OF STUDYING LITERATURE  

Literature has always played a special role in capturing human expression.

Its vast panorama of human experiences is a reflection that describes the essence of our being, encompassing our beliefs, values, and experiences.

We learn about who we are, and who we want to be.

Literature transcends time and traditions, gives us a vast and vibrant global language that binds people worldwide, and helps us notice everything beautiful around us.

It transports us to other societies and vantage points, plunges us into the hearts and minds of people in from another era, and allows us to truly feel what they feel – their joys, challenges, and the ways they perceived their world.

WHAT REWARDING CAREERS/SPECIALTY AREAS REQUIRE SKILLS IN LITERATURE?

Through the study of English Literature, you will get to explore complex and challenging issues in history and politics, society and culture while nurturing your skills in powerful writing in ways that engage and influence an audience, communication and critical thinking.

These skills are highly transferable, and can lead to a successful career in various industries that span IT, business development, and community services.

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

For students passionate about Literature, the career prospects are exciting, extensive, rewarding and diverse with high levels of responsibility, and the potential for high financial income.

The following examples often involve working with complex concepts, and a deep understanding how to apply Literary skills.

So, which are the best paying jobs within the Literary industry?

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

Journalist, lawyer, social media manager, publisher, web editor, paralegal, copy editor, science writer, marketing manager, archivist, English teacher, records manager, government policy maker, freelance writer, public relations executive, editorial assistant, digital content officer, philosophy researcher, interpreter, advertising director, author, museum curator, political speechwriter, educational consultant, archivist, technical writer, librarian, copywriter, medical writer, user experience writer, academic librarian, museum curator, business management, consumer advocate, lexicographer, publishing copy-editor/proofreader, social media marketing, broadcasting manager, digital copywriter, professor and lecturer, education policy analyst, content editor, translator, press and communications director, screenwriter, historical researcher, brand strategist, novelist, business consultant, writer for narratives for video games.

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

Literature 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.

Literature will certainly continue to be a vital part of the workforce to help significantly improve people’s daily lives.

HOW TO STUDY LITERATURE  

Why is studying Literature difficult?

Literature is a progressive subject.

Anything you learn in the beginning of your Literature 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 Literature 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 Literature when they struggle to grasp foundational concepts, fail to make connections between different topics, and find it challenging to engage in abstract and literary reasoning.

The unfamiliarity, volume and speed of information presented in Literature 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 Literature.

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 Literature 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. Whatever you learn early in the semester will be used over and over again throughout your syllabus
  2. Literature is a vast discipline. You learn the basics and build on them, and you also need to switch gears each time you enter into new territory
  3. There is always something new to throw into whatever you had learnt and memorized
  4. Some memorization is required, but mostly you need to think. You need to get used to working through how something works
  5. To put it simply, there is a lot to learn and only a limited time for you to be adequately prepared for your exams
  6. Literature 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 Literature. You may need to learn new study skills and change the way you organize your time, but anyone with the determination to learn Literature can do so. Once you succeed, you will gain a deep sense of accomplishment
  7. 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, so do revisit the content regularly. This can help you to increase your understanding and retention of the topic
  8. 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
  9. See the “big picture”, the hierarchical structure of literary tools
  10. Be able to understand how and why literary tools function the way they do
  11. Grasp not only the definition of terms but why they are important
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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 Literature
  16. Partner with an admired Literature mentor

If you cannot seem to truly understand a concept – even after consulting your notes and the textbook – schedule a meeting with your school teacher or start tuition with a Literature tutor from The Best In Singapore.

We equip our students with the how-how to study smart and score big for exams.

The individualized attention and tailored approaches offered by expert private tutors can unravel the intricacies of Literature. This is the transformative benefit of personalized Literature tuition in Singapore.

Literary principles build on top of one another, so taking the time to fully understand the more basic principles of Literature can help you to succeed when learning about the more difficult skills.

With customized guidance, students can navigate through challenging topics, understand complex theories, and foster an enduring curiosity for how literary devices work.

This demystifies Literature and helps you overcome academic hurdles. It also instils a profound passion and curiosity for Literature beyond mere academic obligations

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

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

Yet, the complexity of the Literature 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 Literature.

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 LITERATURE

Success in Literature 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 Literature 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 in the field of Literature
  • 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 LITERATURE EXAMS  

Literature 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 Literature 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 Literature.

A proven method to do well in Literature 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 Literature 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.

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

Good reviews by parents & students
Comments and feedback of the results of hiring professional Literature tuition teachers 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.

How to choose the right Literature tuition teacher

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

There are many things to consider, such as the Literature 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 Literature 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.

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

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

An effective Literature 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.

Literature 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 Literature tuition teacher to determine the best way to help them.

Students who engage a Literature 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 Literature tuition teachers regularly help their students to solve problems, and to reach new skill levels in a topic.

Literature 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 Literature tuition teacher, you must find someone with whom you can trust and work comfortably together.

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

Good Literature 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 Literature 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 Literature 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
 Contact information such as email address, mobile number and physical residential address

 Additional information which we may ask for if we believe the Website’s or Services’ policies are violated

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 The Best In 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 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.
