Singapore Tuition Centres Vs. Freelance Tutors

By Alicia Moore


You have seen the signs. Tardiness, failed examinations, missed assignments, excuses to stay at home. Your child hates school. And if neither sweet encouraging words or a serious one-on-one talk does not stop the wave of embarrassing grades, it is time to get professional help through an excellent Singapore tuition centre or tutor. And often, the first question that parents ask is, how much does Singapore tuition cost?

It actually depends on the qualifications of a tutor and the scope of services that the tuition covers. Academic training often defines the range of rates. Seeking tutors for high school graduates start at 10 dollars an hour, and the rate goes up with further qualifications. A school teacher, for instance, can charge for 20 dollars per hour or more. A high-profile university teacher can charge as much as 100 an hour.

You can hire a tutor by yourself or get the services of a reputable Singapore tuition agency. These options have their pros and cons. If you hire a freelance tutor, you have to spend time and effort hunting for resumes and doing interviews. The good side about this is you will get very familiar with the chosen tutor. There is an assurance that he or she will do a great job. In going to a tuition agency, there is a guarantee that all tutors have already been screened and you just have to select the person whose profile you like the most.

A Singapore tuition centre also has a reputation to protect, so it makes sure that it only keeps a team of experienced and highly-qualified tutors. It invests in professional training and a lot of learning materials which safeguard the quality of every tutorial session. Looking for a tutor through these agencies is instantaneous as most agencies can provide a tutor in just one day.

The negative aspect about a tuition agency, of course, is the cost. It charges higher than freelance tutors due to the broader scope of services it provides. Some Singapore tuition centres offer free trials, and some do not. Actually this will not matter anymore if you have thoroughly considered your options and selected one that meets your preference. If possible, try getting free trial tutorial sessions so you can find out the dynamics of your child and the tutor.
