Finding A Tutor


My Role as a Tuition Coordinator 


The moment you need me to source a tutor for you, I will be searching through my comprehensive database on all registered tutors in Singapore and match to your requirement.
That includes NIE Trained teachers/Ex-teachers/Full time or Part time tutors/Graduates/Undergraduates.

All tutors are registered and their credentials fully screened. You may request for their credentials on the first lesson.




For me to do a good match, please provide me with the following:



  • - No. of kids that need tuition
  • - Education Level
  • - No.Subjects Needed to be taught
  • - Where you live/ location
  • - How many hours per lesson/week (Norm: 1.5 Hrs/ 2 lessons per week)
  • - Kid's available days and timing (A rough guide)
  • - What type of tutor would you prefer? (E.g. Male/Female, Full Time Tutor/Undergrad/No pref)
  • - Budget $ per hour/per month

After you have compiled responses for the above queries; kindly email me/call me :)

TUTOR'S RATE

Depending on whether you prefer Undergrads, Graduates, Ex-teacher/Current teachers, NIE Trained- they have different rates for different levels and subjects.

The rate ranges from $15 - $40 an hour.

Rates are usually negotiable between the parent and tutor via the tuition coordinator.

HOW THE PAYMENT WORKS

For the above service, there would be NO EXTRA Fees/NO OTHER commission payable on your side.  


For the FIRST MONTH (Only) of tuition fees, 50% goes to me (tuition coordinator) and remaining 50% goes to the tutor.


Example:

For the FIRST MONTH:
Tuition Fees based on 1.5 Hrs/8 lessons per month:
$25/hr x 1.5 x 8 lessons = $300

Parent pays:

To the tuition coordinator: $150 (first 4 lessons for first month)
To the tutor: $150 (remaining 4 lessons for first month)
Total: $300 (8 lessons)


Basically, there is no extra charge/commission payable to me by the parent. 

PAYMENT MODE

I accept either electronic/internet bank transfer or cashier order mailed to my address.

 TERMS AND CONDITIONS
