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
English has always been my favourite subject since primary school. For some strange reason though, I had been getting more B's than A's. Ms Khoo from The Best In Singapore is an ex-MOE teacher, and she is very friendly. When she points out my mistakes, I know that it is for my own good. Ms Khoo helped me with my Oral, and most of the time, I can get full marks for Oral and compre.
Chua Wen Chuan
Yuan Ching Secondary School
My family speaks Chinese at home, but it's not the type of Chinese that would help me get a B or an A. My mum hired Mr Gan from The Best In Singapore. Mr Gan used to teach at a famous tuition centre, and he is very good at helping his students score higher marks. I got B's after I started tuition with him, and after working really really hard, I scored an A for my O Level Chinese.
Helen Tong
St Margaret’s Secondary School
Literature is harder than I expected. I had always scored A's for English and I love to read novels. Butt Lit is quite tough. Maybe it's a psychological thing. My dad found Mr Michael from The Best In Singapore. By the second lesson, I felt much better because Mr Michael explains clearly what I need to look out for in the texts, and why.
Christina Chew
Nanyang Girls’ High School Integrated Programme
I scored A for my English for my O Levels, but General Paper involves a lot more general knowledge and analysis than I was prepared for. Ms Belinda has a degree in Political Science. She teaches me step by step how to formulate my argument convincingly and to the point.

“APTITUDE-BASED ADMISSIONS: WHAT SMU LOOKS FOR
At SMU, we are committed to a holistic and aptitude-based admissions approach, where we look for students who have not only been successful academically but who possess qualities that we value. In addition to academic grades, we will look for evidence of these qualities such as aptitude, positive attitude, intellectual curiosity, critical thinking and communication skills, as demonstrated through leadership in co-curricular activities; impactful involvement in community service and volunteer programmes; significant awards and achievements in areas relevant to the course applied for; noteworthy involvement in work/internships relevant to the course applied for; as well as other relevant factors.
We seek to identify students who are different, who may be mavericks in their own ways, with qualities of resilience and innovation, and who will inspire their peers and professors during their SMU years and beyond.
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF
Aptitude and Attitude
- Do you push yourself out of your comfort zone and embrace new experiences in life?
- Do you enjoy doing things that are different and meaningful?
- What is your motivation in life?
- How would you challenge yourself to do well in your university life?
- Are you a self-starter? How have you tried to create meaningful change to your community?
- How have you contributed to your community to make it a better place?
Intellectual Curiosity and Promise
- How committed and interested are you in expanding your intellectual boundaries?
- What excites you intellectually?
- Do you actively seek opportunities that expand your perspective in creating new knowledge?
- How open are you to new ideas and people?
- How often have you challenged your current set of knowledge paradigm?
Communication and interpersonal abilities
- What kinds of conversations excite you?
- Do you enjoy asking questions and listening to others actively?
- Do you enjoy expressing your viewpoints while accepting different perspectives from others?
We aim to put together a cohort of bright undergraduates with diverse interests and talents. We would like every student to benefit from SMU’s education of the whole person through our broad-based curriculum and interactive pedagogy, coupled with depth in one or two areas of study, and complemented by an unparalleled co-curriculum involving our:

Candidates who do not satisfy the MTL requirement may still submit an application for admissions. If selected, he/she will be admitted on a provisional basis. During their course of study, they will be required to meet the minimum MTL requirement before they are allowed to graduate.
Minimum Subject Requirements

- Project Work
- Best four content-based subjects (i.e. 3 H2 and 1 H1 content-based subjects, of which one must be a contrasting subject. Students may take KI in lieu of GP. KI is considered a H2 subject and can be considered as a contrasting subject to both Arts and Science. Students who take KI need not take a H1 content-based subject.
A H1 subject will be counted as half of a H2 in terms of points computation.
MTL may be included in the computation of the University Score. The better of the two scores (i.e. with and without MTL) will be the University Score of the candidate.
SAT is not required for applicants presenting A-level certificates.
Meeting the minimum admission requirements does not indicate that the applicant can be admitted as admission to the University is based on open competition.
H3 programmes will not be considered in the computation of the University Score.
Combined Score
Some programmes require additional assessment such as selection test, interview, or portfolios on top of academic results.
Aptitude-based Admissions (ABA)
Aptitude-based Admissions (ABA) take into account students’ passions, interests and strengths. Applicants with exceptional talents and/or outstanding achievements beyond schools’ co-curricular activities can be considered, subject to a minimum level of academic competence, for admissions under ABA.
Adult Learners Scheme
The Adult Learners Scheme (ALS) is an alternative pathway for working adults to apply for admission into NTU full-time undergraduate programme.”
