The categories of tutors
Tutorplus offer five primary type of tutors for our students to choose. They consist of A level/Diploma, Undergraduates, Graduates, NIE trainees as well as School Teachers trained under MOE. Each main type of tutor charges a different rate, mainly due to their qualifications and experience acquired.
A level / Diploma Tutors
This group of tutors is the youngest among the rest of the tutors. They're currently taking on their A level or Diploma studies in a Polytechnic or Junior college. Having progressed through primary and secondary education, they have an excellent capability to help students understand better. Due to their lack of experience and qualifications, their charges are the most affordable as well. We recommend parents with a tighter budget to consider them. Best suited for preschool, primary and secondary tuition.
Undergraduate Tutors
Undergraduates Tutors are students currently pursuing their degree in the university. They are slightly older in age and generally are more experienced compared to A level / Diploma Tutors. Thus, they charged a higher rate compared to A Level / Diploma Tutors. They are also able to tutor up to JC and Polytechnic level. With a smaller age-gap, they would be able to build a stronger rapport and provide a good role model for your child to motivate your children to emulate them. With a more flexible school schedule, they are able to work out the best time slots for your child.
Graduate Tutors
Graduate tutors are tutors who have graduated from the university with at least a Bachelor’s degree and are providing home tuition either as a full-time job or taking up as a part-time job while still having a full-time career.
They've at least 3-4 years of experience in tutoring since most of them started out during their university period. The main difference between full-time tutors and part-time tutors would be their commitment level. Full-time tutors normally are more committed and able to work around their schedule. Whereas, Part-time tutors usually are only able to commit a certain number of hours per week due to their tight schedule.
Also, we can find a tutor who has majored in a particular field based on the subjects you are looking to have tuition. Such as a finding a graduate majoring mathematics to provide math tuition. Some of our tutors even hold post-graduate degrees such as Master's or Doctoral Degrees (PhDs).
NIE Trainees
NIE Trainees are tutors that are currently attaining professional teaching qualification under MOE. Which also means that they are training to become a school teacher. They are familiar to the MOE Syllabus and are competent to provide the needs of your child. They're able to meet the standard of well-trained teachers. However, as they are not yet a qualified school teacher, they quote a slightly lower rate compared to School Teachers. However, the number of NIE Trainees fall lower than the rest of the categories due to its speciality. We will advise you, to select one extra category of tutor on top of NIE Trainee when you send in your request for a tutor. It will allow us to be able to ensure you a tutor.
A level / Diploma Tutors
School Teachers can generalise into two main group, they are Current School Teachers and Former School Teachers. Both Teachers are qualified by moe.
Current School Teachers who are currently teaching in local government schools (Primary Schools, Secondary Schools and Junior Colleges) and various international schools (ACSi, Tanglin Trust, SAS, SOTA, UWC, CIS, OFS, SJII, HCI, etc) in Singapore. They are very relevant with the current school syllabus as well as examination syllabus and requirements. Teachers in Local Schools will possess at least a diploma of education or bachelor of education in their respective fields of training. They have limited hours per week set aside for giving home tuition. So parents wanting to engage them to have to book them before their schedule are full for the academic year.
Former School Teachers who have left the teaching service and have switched to providing home tuition on a full-time basis. They've many years of teaching experience as a teacher and also familiar with school syllabus. Their commitment ability is stronger as they have a more flexible work schedule. You also don't have to be afraid of their teaching ability, as they are as qualified as current school teachers. They always ensure they keep up to date with school and examination syllabus.
