How does TutorsNearMe.app match tutors within 15 minutes of my HDB block or condo?

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.

Do parents pay any agency fee, commission markup, or upfront deposit?

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.

Q: How does postal-sector tutor matching work in Hougang, Sengkang, Punggol?

The North-East corridor (Sectors 53, 54, 55, and 82) has one of Singapore's highest densities of young families taking PSLE and O-Level exams. Instead of assigning islandwide tutors who commute 60+ minutes from the West and drop out before mid-years, TutorsNearMe.app filters strictly by the NEL and Sengkang/Punggol LRT network so your tutor lives 1 to 3 stops from your block. Covered 2-digit Singapore postal sectors: 53, 54, 55, 82, 79, 80 (North East Line (NEL) • Sengkang & Punggol LRT • Cross Island Line Corridor).
