In 2026, Singapore 1-to-1 home tuition rates depend on student level and tutor tier: Lower Primary (P1–P3) costs S$25–S$35/hr for Undergrads, S$40–S$50/hr for Full-Time Graduates, and S$60–S$80/hr for Ex/Current MOE NIE teachers. Upper Primary (P4–P6 PSLE) costs S$30–S$40/hr (Undergrad), S$45–S$60/hr (Full-Time), and S$65–S$95/hr (MOE). Secondary (Sec 1–4) ranges from S$30–S$50/hr (Undergrad) and S$45–S$75/hr (Full-Time) to S$70–S$120/hr (MOE). Junior College (JC1–JC2 A-Level) ranges from S$45–S$60/hr (Undergrad) and S$65–S$95/hr (Full-Time) to S$95–S$140/hr (MOE).

TutorsNearMe.app uses Singapore's 2-digit Postal Sector (01 to 82) and MRT/LRT transit adjacency rather than broad property districts. When you enter your 6-digit postal code (e.g., 530401 in Hougang), our proximity engine scores verified tutors at 100 points for living in the exact same sector (Sector 53), 85 points for adjacent <15-minute MRT/bus sectors (Sectors 54 Sengkang, 55 Serangoon, 82 Punggol), and 65 points for the same regional cluster.

No. Tutor matching on TutorsNearMe.app is 100% free for parents, with zero hourly markup and $0 upfront deposit before Lesson 1. You pay only the agreed hourly tuition rate. Confirmed matches run on a standard 4-lesson Month 1 commitment where the one-time agency placement share (35% for Founding Tutors or 50% standard) is billed via official PayNow SGQR after Lesson 1/2, and the remaining balance goes directly to your tutor at Lesson 4. From Month 2 onwards, 100% of fees go directly to the tutor.

Every tutor on the TutorsNearMe.app bench must verify their highest academic or teaching credential—such as an MOE NIE Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE), NUS/NTU/SMU degree scroll, or A-Level/Polytechnic certificate—via our verification workflow on @tutorsnearme_bot before their profile is marked Verified for parent shortlists.

Choose a Tier A Undergraduate Tutor (S$25–S$60/hr) for relatable mentorship, weekly homework supervision, and foundational reinforcement. Choose a Tier B Full-Time Graduate Tutor (S$40–S$95/hr, our most popular tier) for dedicated career tutors with curated topic notes and structured exam drilling. Choose a Tier C Ex/Current MOE NIE Teacher (S$60–S$140/hr) when your child needs deep PSLE Achievement Level (AL) or O-Level marking rubric mastery and school-classroom pedagogy.

Because you pay $0 upfront deposit before Lesson 1, you can evaluate the tutor's teaching style during the first session. If the first lesson is not a fit, let our WhatsApp Concierge know and we will arrange a replacement tutor in your postal sector with no extra agency fee.

As soon as you submit the 4-step rate calculator, our engine sends an Instant Priority DM to verified tutors living in or adjacent to your 2-digit postal sector (proximity score >= 85) and posts the anonymized case to @tutorsnearme_sg. Parents typically receive 2 vetted, available tutor profiles on WhatsApp or Telegram within 2 to 24 hours.

Private tutors and MOE teachers can onboard in 60 seconds at tutorsnearme.app/tutor/join or via @tutorsnearme_bot on Telegram. Verified Founding Tutors who join during our quota-limited founding intake (which may close soon once the cohort fills) lock in a permanent 35% first-month agency commission (keeping 65% of Month 1 fees instead of the industry-standard 50%) and receive 30-minute priority DMs for tuition jobs within 15 minutes of their home postal code.
