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.

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:

  1. Have proven track records of guiding their students to better understand and apply the complex information 
  2. Help you avoid careless mistakes
  3. Can identify what the exam questions really want you to do
  4. Are are able to give you valuable strategies to answer difficult exam questions

Good Reviews By Parents & Students
Comments and feedback of the results of hiring professional home tutors from The Best In Singapore

social studies tuition

For the past few months, I have not been able to really understand how to answer the questions that my teacher has been giving to me. My results have been borderline passes and this was very discouraging. We found a Social Studies tuition teacher, Mr Goh, from The Best In Singapore. He taught me exam skills and answering techniques that my school teacher said were good. I should be able to get a B or even an A for my O Levels.

Leia Phua
Paya Lebar Methodist Girls’ School (Secondary)

social studies tuition

My school teacher told me that because I wanted to get into a junior college after my O Levels, I should try to do well in Social Studies because it is important to have good analytical and writing skills when I take General Paper. I had been getting mostly B's for Social Studies. I am not sure if it was because of careless mistakes, or if I had not understood what the questions wanted me to answer. Luckily, Mr Tan (my Social Studies tuition teacher from The Best In Singapore) was very sharp and could see why I was losing marks. I managed to get an A for my O Levels.

Daniel Koh
St Andrew’s Secondary School

social studies tuition

My seniors in school did not like Social Studies in Sec 3 and Sec 4. By the time I was in Sec 3, my impression of Social Studies wasn't all that good. I started taking home tuition from the first half of Sec 3. Ms Ng is very lively, and makes the content more interesting than when I learn in school. I found that it wasn't all that difficult to get B's, so I am now aiming for an A for my O Levels.

Suaidah Mahmood
Dunearn Secondary School

social studies tuition

Social Studies is not a difficult subject, but I find it hard to be able to score an A in it. I am doing well in my other subjects, so it is really frustrating that I keep getting only B's. Ms Leong from The Best In Singapore is very good. She helped many students in Sec 3 and Sec 4 really grasp the concepts so that we can apply the knowledge to the difficult questions

AIMS

Social Studies seeks to develop the competencies of our students to be informed, concerned and participative citizens by the end of a 10-year Social Studies education. These competencies encompass the body of knowledge, skills and values expressed in the Philosophy of Social
Studies and they are elaborated below.

As informed citizens, students would:
• understand their identity as Singaporeans with a global outlook;
• understand different perspectives;
• view the world with an understanding of the Singapore perspective;
• apply reflective thought in making quality decisions;
• analyse, negotiate and manage complex situations; and
• evaluate information, consider different viewpoints and exercise discernment in reaching well-reasoned conclusions and making responsible decisions.

As concerned citizens, students would:
• have a sense of belonging to their community and nation;
• appreciate the importance of engaging in issues of societal concern;
• be committed to building social cohesion by appreciating diversity in society; and
• have an awareness of the ethical considerations and consequences of decision-making.

As participative citizens, students would:
• be motivated to identify issues of concern and take action;
• be resilient in addressing concerns of the community or society in spite of challenges faced; and
• be empowered to take personal and collective responsibility for effecting change for the good of society, and serve to make a positive difference to others.

ASSESSMENT

Purpose of Assessment
The purpose of assessment must be understood beyond the context of high-stake national examinations. While Assessment of Learning does play an important role in quantifying and qualifying the students’ and teachers’ efforts at understanding and applying knowledge areas, it is not an end in itself.

The grades and feedback received at specific junctures serve as a consolidation of students’ learning, but may not be timely in helping teachers strengthen their teaching practices.

Thus, Assessment for Learning is just as important because it provides regular feedback to teachers on how they could improve on classroom practices in order to better cater to their students’ learning needs and in turn, strengthen the learning and teaching of Social Studies.

Both Assessment of Learning and Assessment for Learning have a place in the Social Studies Express/Normal (Academic) Curriculum. The modes of assessment are designed in alignment with the purpose of the Syllabus, which is to develop our students into informed, concerned and participative citizens.

This is made possible as both school-based assessment and national assessment seek to evoke students’ curiosity to inquire into societal issues that concern their lives.

Both assessments require students to think critically and reflectively about these issues through the appreciation
of multiple perspectives, to derive at well-reasoned and substantiated conclusions.

Modes of Assessment

School-Based Assessment

As mentioned previously, Assessment for Learning (formative assessment) is just as important as Assessment of Learning (summative assessment).

Examples of summative assessment include class assessments and semestral examinations, while formative assessments could
exist in the form of quizzes, debates, deliberative discussions and Issue Investigation.

(a) Purpose of Issue investigation
The inquiry approach develops skills and values that cannot be wholly assessed through conventional pen-and-paper assessment modes as students are required to integrate the knowledge, skills and values learnt and demonstrate them in the classroom.

Thus, the outcomes of the approach are better exemplified through their participation in learning activities.

As a performance task, Issue Investigation provides a platform for students to demonstrate the knowledge, skills and values needed for active citizenship.

As students conduct investigations on societal issues of meaning to them, they extend their inquiry skills by working as a group to:
• identify a societal issue that is a cause of concern;
• gather data that reflects multiple perspectives;
• analyse the data gathered to surface trends and patterns that help address the issue;
• arrive at well-reasoned and substantiated conclusions;
• consider possible recommendations to the societal issue; and
• reflect on their understanding of the societal issue and examine personal assumptions and beliefs about the issue.

Moreover, when students undertake Issue Investigation, they learn to question unexamined assumptions and develop perspective-taking, all of which will contribute towards helping them arrive at informed conclusions.

Thus, Issue Investigation provides students with the opportunity to practise and demonstrate the 21st Century Competencies to become informed, concerned and participative citizens.

(b) Assessment in Issue Investigation
The different stages of Issue Investigation, i.e. Sparking Curiosity, Gathering Data, Exercising Reasoning and Reflective Thinking, allow students the opportunity to apply a combination of knowledge, skills and values to inquire and address the societal issue they have chosen.

The application of these knowledge, skills and values leads to outcomes which the Issue Investigation process aims to develop in students

Scheme of Assessment

The assessment objectives reflect the emphasis in the aims of the Social Studies Syllabus.

These objectives are tested in two different sections of the Social Studies paper.

Section A: Source-Based Case Study (SBCS)
The GCE ‘O’- and ‘N(A)’- Level Social Studies Syllabus aims to develop critical and reflective thinking, and perspective-taking in students. This is best assessed in Section A where students are required to demonstrate their knowledge, skills and conceptual understanding through an
unseen SBCS.

They will interpret and evaluate a collection of sources based on a societal issue.

There is hence, alignment between Assessment Objectives 1 and 2 with the assessment items in this section.

A new assessment item, sub-question (e) is introduced, where students are required to consolidate perspectives from multiple sources of information to respond to the issue of the Source-Base Case Study.

Section B: Structured-Response Question (SRQ)

The GCE ‘O’- and ‘N(A)’- Level Social Studies Syllabus is anchored on issues and driven by inquiry, where knowledge is important as a basis for discourse on societal issues.

Students will be required to show their understanding of societal issues when they apply their knowledge as they analyse societal issues and construct explanations.

This emphasis on knowledge beyond factual recall and the ability to construct reasoned arguments and make informed judgement and recommendations are tested in Section B.

Duration and Weighting

The total duration for both the ‘O’- and ‘N(A)’- Level Social Studies papers is 1hr 45mins.

As seen previously, the ‘O’- and ‘N(A)’- Level Social Studies papers comprise two sections: Section A (Source-Based Case Study) and Section B (Structured-Response Question).

Students will have to attempt all questions in both Section A and Section B. The total marks for SBCS is 35 marks for both the ‘O’- and ‘N(A)’- Level examinations.

Correspondingly, the total marks for SRQ is 15 marks.

Both the SBCS and SRQ will be marked using the Levels of Response Marking Scheme (LORMS), which rewards the level of skill or understanding displayed in an answer.

Section A will involve a greater number of marks and students will need to spend a longer period of time to complete this section.”
