What Is the Purpose of Tuition?
Tuition is a teaching platform to provide students with academic-related instructions or content.
Most students seek tuition during their primary, secondary and college school periods.
In fact, tuition is one of the most profitable industries in Singapore.
Living in a country that emphasises the importance of education, students are always striving for academic excellence.
The fundamental of good results is the bane of every student suffering in this perfect education system.
It is recognisable that tuition has become a necessary chore in the ‘kiasu’ Singapore landscape.
Few students can escape from such stressful culture.
Education System in Singapore
-
Primary School
The number of subjects to be taken in primary school includes English Language, Mother Tongue Language and Mathematics – offered in Primary 1 and 2.
An additional subject, Science, will be introduced in Primary 3.
Based on online research, we have gathered definite figures for the overall tuition costs in primary school.
If you are looking to enrol your child in a local tuition class, expect to pay a sum of $1,920 – $5,760 per year for a single subject.
-
Secondary School
Depending on the course you take in secondary school, the tuition costs vary accordingly – depending on the subjects and time of education.
Lower secondary science is offered in secondary 1 and 2 as the gateway to different specializations in upper secondary science in secondary 3 and 4 such as pure biology, physics and chemistry (pure or combined).
Based on online research, we have gathered definite figures for the overall tuition costs in secondary school. If you are looking to enroll your child in a local tuition class, expect to pay a higher sum of $2,400 – $7,680 per year for a single subject.
-
Junior College (JC) for GCE ‘A’ Levels
For JC Students, they have to take up General Paper (GP) for their GE ‘A’ levels. This is added on top of 4 other core subjects which they have to take.
JC students can choose to either take up all 4 H2s or 3 H2s and 1 H1 subject. Students with a strong interest for any particular subject can go for the H3 subjects.
Undoubtedly, JC is stressful and expensive. Thus, we have gathered the overall tuition costs for JC students. If you have tuition for a single subject, expect to pay high amounts of $3,360 – $14,400 per year.

Sophia Education |
| Speciality |
The truth is Singapore’s school system doesn’t give enough personalized support to students. Teachers in schools just don’t have the resources to give students the proper support they need. Students need teachers who can teach in a fun and entertaining way, and better yet, who were top students themselves and know the more effective methods to studying. Just trying to bludgeon everything into a student’s brain by rote memorization is simply not good enough. Sophia Education is the solution for all students. They provide students with the best teachers along with an environment that’s conducive to learning and improving how to learn. |

The Learning Lab is a great help for our kid who was struggling in her studies. Teacher Lyn, the teacher that was assigned to her group, is so dedicated and easily identified the weak spots of my child when it come to English and Mathematics. My child admits that she find these subjects boring. Her teacher uses her creativity to entice my child to become curious and enthusiastic in learning these subjects. Now my child is active both in school and in TLL and her score greatly improved. Thank you teacher Lyn and TLL. – Fleisher Rowleyar

| Review 2 |
My husband and I are happy with our child’s progress and I can say that TLL is way better than any other tuition center. My daughter started to attend sessions at TLL when she is P3. They help her to be ready with her primary journey through guided activities and in-depth coaching. Feed backing greatly boosts her confidence and she was able to realize which points she needs to focus and work harder. What she learns from TLL is really applicable to their school’s performance task. I highly recommend The Learning Lab because it is worth the price. – Rine Chang

The Learning Lab is one of the best tuition center that delivers their promise to unlease the potential of your child and make them prepared for PSLE. I could testify that. I send my eldest to TLL when he was P4 as a part of his preparation for PSLE in 2019. His scores on Science and Math are not really good but when the results came, we are so happy that he passed PSLE with scores we never thought he could have. Thank you TLL for helping our child improve and pass the assessment. – omor sadia

| Review 1 | Pique Lab was the best decision in helping my daughter with her Science. The notes are very comprehensive, detailed and extremely helpful. Since attending lessons at Pique Lab, my daughter has been scoring more than 86% for all tests and that is a huge improvement from where she was before. The dedication of the teachers at Pique Lab, the notes as well as the templates greatly helped! She looks forward to the lessons each week as the lessons are fun and never dull. My daughter started with the CCI Course and then enrolled for the weekly class. I highly recommend Pique Lab to any parents who are considering Pique Lab’s Science program, it is no doubt the best decision and investment I have done for my daughter. I am extremely thankful to Pique Lab for helping my child improve tremendously and boost her confidence and love for the subject that she was once weakest in. Thank you Pique Lab team – you are awesome!! – Nattasha J. |
| Review 2 |
My girl has issues answering flow chart questions and she is bad in Matter and process skills. She loves the P4 CCI Science Course and now she find Science interesting. She said she finally mastered all the concepts. Mr Derrick is very funny and has a fun approach to all topics. – Hsiao huei Loh
|
| Review 3 |
My son found the P4 CCI Science Course very beneficial as it helped him to gain a better understanding of the key concepts and key words needed to do well in his paper. Previously he studied very hard and answered SECTION B to the best of his ability with concepts but he lacked the key words and relating to the question or diagram. Now he finds it easier to understand and answer them. Thank you Ms Lim – he said you demonstrated patience, respectful guidance and enthusiasm when interacting with the students. In addition, when he asked you questions or brought his home tests to obtain your explanations, you were always prepared with the answers and nothing fazed you. His marks have improved to a Band 2 in SA2 from a Band 3 in SA1 and he is more motivated to study and do better in Science now. He has asked to take this course again next year for SA2 under your tutelage. – Marilyn

He is quite fast, but it is also his technique to make us learn faster. Once you get used to his ways, it is the best lessons you will enjoy learning a lot from.
Go try at least a few lessons, for Secondary Math and see it yourself. Highly recommended. – Maya Toh |

With the use of face to face webcam, a lot of of notes and clear instructions, my kids are learning like when in a physical class. Did not see much of a difference between their virtual and physical class as my kids enjoyed it as much and totally intrigued with the new way of learning.
Also, I finally understood why my kids improved under their care over the last two years as I was nearby the desktop looking at how they teach. Well setup, clear and concise, engaging. Impressed. Well worth the investment. Well done! Quite well designed online classes that helped a lot even with the times we are in, best compromise and I do recommend them to you. – HL Joyce |

These experiments makes us remember some of the science concepts. He has a lot of useful notes which help us in the exams. I like his lessons very much. – Hayden Chua |
| Review 3 | I must thank Mr Jason for guiding my child in getting an A* for his PSLE Science. We did not expect our child to do so well as he could only get a low A grade for Science in school. Unlike many other Science tuition centres, Mr Jason’s Science class is never boring. My child would always share with me the fun experiments that they did in class and sometimes they would even bring home fun toys related to some science concept. In addition, Mr Jason was very helpful and patient in answering my son’s doubt, especially near the exam period and late through some nights. He was also able to point out my child’s weaknesses and guided me in doing effective revision with my son at home before PSLE. The notes given during the 5 days revision in September holiday was extremely useful too. Sending my child to Science Edventure was the best decision I had ever made. Thank you once more Mr Jason! – Bee Luan |

It was a great 2 years with TSA for my years. From a failed or borderline grade in Sciences, my DD science jumped 2-3 grades in her O level. It is a great achievement for her. Without the help from the tutors, I think she may not achieved what she obtains now. It is never a wrong decision to put my DD in TSA. During her journey in TSA, the tutors will checked with parent on the status on how the children progress and via versus. Make up classes is always available when the child can’t attend. Thank you so much. – Michelle Yap |

Well done & keep up the good works! – Phyllidia Kwang |
| Review 2 | I am grateful to Tr Joel with his professionalism, patience and passion in doing what he is doing. Beyond teaching the subject Chemistry, he has great chemistry with my son. He can connect with my teenage son, motivate him and spur him on when many times as a mother I cannot. I had come across many tutors yet Tr Joel stands out to be one who believes in his students. He never gives up on them. He takes time beyond his class to be his students’ big brother.
I strongly recommend Tr Joel. He holds the chemistry of a teacher of this generation. Thank you very much and God bless Tr Joel and Bright Culture! – Adeline lim |
| Review 3 | I have engaged Joel as a chemistry tutor for my daughter since when she was in secondary 3. He is v professional and passionate teacher.
My daughter was an average student. After his teachings, her results shoot through the roof. He motivated her in her study and also often encouraged her to study smart. I highly recommended him as a professional and motivated tutor. Kudos to him. – Serena Sim |

They are extremely helpful and do their best to help you whatever problem you have. The teachers’ teaching style is unique and they can adjust the lessons to the topics that you are facing difficulty in. – Ethan P |
| Review 2 | It is amazing, the teachers are great there and I really enjoyed it. I really recommend it because it helped me with my math a lot and it is a very good place to learn. I think it was very good that I chose to go here because it was so worth it. I felt very safe and I could ask any question, and they would help explain how to get to the answers. I think that it was very amazing that they print sheets for you to work on based on what your doing and I think that was a thing I had never seen before. I think they have amazing teachers and the teachers would sit down with you and explain each question you did not understand. It really helped me improve in math and I think it got me more confident in myself and not wondering if I was right, and instead knowing I am right. It was really great and I think Ms. Chen is a great teacher. – Breit games |
| Review 3 | Future academy is an amazing and frankly one of the best places to improve in many different things and I really think it was very fun as well. I really liked their teachers and how kind they were and it really helped me to learn. My teacher finds worksheets that help me improve and I really thought that that was a really cool thing, and when you are revising they guide you through it and it was a really good experience. I felt if I ever had a question I could always ask and not be shy because they were very good with explaining the hard questions that I did not understand. – Breit Butler |

| Review 1 | I really love this tuition center! Mr Sim is really dedicated and concise when teaching. The teachers are straight to the point and the lessons are structured to cater to struggling students. Their notes are amazing and the teachers are actually concerned with our grades. Comparing to other tuition centers, the courses aren’t sorted by topics. Unlike other centers, where you have to pay money for each topic, they cover every topic to help boost grades. I really appreciate how fast and concise everything is, there’s no fuss over money or additional courses or classes. Thank you so much! – Jovan Tan |
