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
Maybe it's because I was missing my closest friends, who went to different secondary schools. I felt really lost and lonely in this new school and my grades for 4 subjects were not good at all. My mum got worried because I had always worked hard for my subjects. We hired 2 tutors from The Best In Singapore, then we hired 2 more for the remaining subjects that I was weak at. Each of them quickly helped me get back my A's towards the end of Sec 1. I am also adjusting better to secondary school because my tutors gave me good advice on how to find new friends in my class.

Kai Lee's cousins are rather naughty and don't like to study. Sometimes, they are a bad influence on Kai Lee. I contacted The Best In Singapore to look for tutors who are friendly - and who can sometimes be strict whenever Kai Lee is lazy. He gets along well with them, and feels motivated whenever they give him pep talks about how his work can improve.

Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Secondary School
I guess I did not work as hard as I should have in Sec 3. I spent the first few days of the year-end holidays thinking hard about how I should go about to catch up. I decided to play it safe by having home tuition. The tuition centres I attended in Sec 2 and 3 were good, but did not help my grades much. We hired tutors from The Best In Singapore, and we started in December. By March (Sec 4), I felt a lot better. I scored B's and A's for my O Levels even though I was barely passing for those subjects before private tuition started.

Sec 1 was generally OK, but the syllabus and content became harder to understand in Sec 2. My dad is picky about grades and he insisted that I must maintain my A grades in Sec 2 otherwise I will do badly by the time I take my O Levels. I was a bit reluctant because I never needed tuition until then. He managed to find tutors who have interesting stories to tell me so that I could remember and apply the content much better than before I learnt those methods. Very helpful.

Transition to secondary school
For the most current and more comprehensive information, please refer to the MOE website.
“Students moving from primary to secondary school are entering a new phase of life. Learn about common challenges and how to help your child with the transition.
Help your child to understand the common challenges
Some of the challenges faced by students entering secondary school include:
New school environment
New friends
New syllabus
New phase of life
Your child has spent the last 6 years getting used to their primary school, and now they’ll be going to a new school. Moreover, many of your child’s primary school friends may be posted to different secondary schools.
Meeting new people can be difficult, but it’s also an opportunity for them to form new, long-lasting friendships.
Your child will also be learning new subjects, including biology, chemistry, physics, geography and history. There will also be more subject choices, especially in upper secondary.
In this phase of school, your child will enter their teenage years and go through physical, emotional and mental changes. They will also begin to explore the different pathways available for them to fulfil their dreams and aspirations.
Support your child’s development and interests
It’s important that you pick a school where your child’s development and interests will be supported. Generally, secondary school students do best when they:
Feel a sense of belonging, with their friends and at the school.
Feel a sense of purpose and progress.
Get the opportunity to contribute to the school, for example through their Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs).
Find their interests and learn new things.
Have teachers who care about them and can cater to their specific educational needs.
Are able to enjoy the process of learning at an appropriate level for them.
Encourage your child to prepare the transition
When discussing these challenges with your child, encourage them to:
Choose subjects and electives that interest them.
Look beyond academics and pursue activities that excite them.
Make new friends and involve themselves in sports, games, clubs and other CCAs. They get the opportunity to find their interests and learn new things.
Let you know if they are having difficulties in school.”
