5 Best Tuition Centres in Singapore (Top Picks)

When considering a tuition centre, the first thing to do is to check out whether that private school is MOE-registered or operated by MOE Teachers. This is important because it is the only way to know if a tuition centre’s teachers are qualified, the curriculum is acceptable, and the school environment is safe.

Currently, there are 810 MOE-registered private schools island-wide. This large number gives Singaporean parents and students an abundance of choices. So, one step further is to check out those that have been around for years, their lesson fees, and the attention amount, which can be seen through the number of students per class. Small class sizes are better as each student can get more attention from the tutor.

Another essential thing to consider is the tuition centre’s location. Going to a private class also requires commuting effort. Choosing a centre in a convenient location will help you and your child save a lot of time and effort traveling around.

If you are looking for a tuition centre to help your child with his needs but don’t know which centre to check out, scan our list below. Here are the five best tuition centres in Singapore that are MOE-registered or operated by MOE teachers, well-established (at least ten years in operation), and well-scattered nationwide with many branches.

Everyday Tuition (Everyday Use Pte Ltd) was founded by Dr Anngieline Lu and Mr Vitor Lee, a husband and wife team who both have post-graduate degrees in education. Dr Lu is a former MOE teacher who trained MOE teachers at the National Institute of Education for seven years. Mr Lee is the CEO of the company.

Everyday Tuition provides a happy and supportive learning environment that helps motivate students to learn and earn as many grade jumps as possible. Classes are taught by competent teachers who are PhD graduates, ex-MOE teachers, or track record teachers.

Homework help is available! This is primarily for students to ask questions based on homework and get customised, individualised attention based on their school work or Everyday Tuition work. The idea, of course, is not to do their homework but to ensure that they know the steps to their homework and understand the concepts behind it.

The centre teaches English, Math, Science, and Chinese to Primary and Secondary students. The two centres offer online, physical and hybrid classes. The physical branches are located at Bukit Timah Shopping Centre and Katong Shopping Centre.
