MUST I PAY TO REGISTER AS A TUTOR?

Registration is free of charge.

ELIGIBILITY

The tutor must be at least 18 years old at the time of registration and must not be a person barred from receiving or providing services under the laws of Singapore or other applicable jurisdiction.

The tutor holds a minimum of GCE “A” Level certificate/has graduated from a polytechnic, and has the necessary good grades, qualifications and experience to provide tuition in the subject(s) that you wish to tutor.

Typically, parents request for MOE teachers and experienced tutors.

The tutor and the client will be solely responsible for any issues arising from the information that the client and you have submitted to us.

USE OF INFORMATION

The primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide the users with a smooth and customized matching experience.

To ensure success of the Tuition Assignment, Best Tutor is selective of the type of students we accept as there is a small percentage of students who are not suitable for tuition.

To assist Best Tutor to make better decisions regarding tuition assignments that match your credentials and expectations, we will ask for your personal information. The personal information collected includes but is not restricting to the following:

 Private information such as name, and birth data
 Contact information such as email address, mobile number and physical residential address
 Qualification information for verification purposes that include:
 grades obtained, certificates, awards received, and schools attended
 Description of tutoring experience and commitment levels
 Preferred teaching locations
 Preferred teaching subjects
 Preferred hourly tutoring rates
 Additional information which we may ask for if we believe the Website’s or Services’ policies are violated

MOE TEACHERS/NIE STUDENTS

Tutors who are current MOE teachers are required to obtain the necessary approval from the Ministry of Education before accepting any assignment from Best Tutor.

ACCURACY OF INFORMATION

The tutor shall fill in as accurately and completely as possible his/her name, contact details, qualifications, results, relevant experience, subject and level preferences, and will update such information in a timely manner.

The tutor shall not mislead users accessing the website and using Best Tutor’ services. You will not provide inaccurate, invalid, false or incomplete information to Best Tutor.

The tutor is solely responsible for any legal liability arising out of or relating to the Tutor Profile submitted to Best Tutor, and shall indemnify Best Tutor against any and all claims, damages, liability, loss, or causes of action (including legal fees and expenses that may be incurred by Best Tutor) in connection with the provision of services by this website.

TUITION REQUESTS AND ASSIGNMENTS

The tutor understands that the information submitted to Best Tutor pertaining to his/her qualifications may be released by Best Tutor to the Client(s) for the purpose of tuition matching.

The tutor and the client explicitly agree to Best Tutor and our network contacting you via Whatsapp, phone call, sms and/or other electronic communications channels to conduct tuition matches.

If the proposed Assignment interests you, please reply us via Whatsapp, sms or through the same electronic communications channel that we contacted you with. There is no need for you to call us.

Please note that Assignments would be confirmed with the client and tutors based on the most qualified match and prompt response from the tutor.

We reserve complete rights to reject any applications for the assignments.

If the tutor is not interested in the Assignment that we contacted you with, please disregard the assignment message.

CLIENTS’ CRITERIA FOR SELECTING TUTORS

The criteria stated by the client for each Tuition Assignment can differ from case to case.

Some clients require MOE teachers, others state their preference for experienced undergraduates with proven experience to improve the grades of their students.

Tuition Assignments are based on tuition demand and how well the profile of each tutor matches with the client’s requirements.

Best Tutor makes tutor recommendations based on the tutors’ known track record in successful tutoring.

The submission of the tutor’s profile to the client does not bind the client to engage the services of the tutor, and remains subject to confirmation by the client.

FEES AND COMMISSION

Once the tutor and the client confirm a match, the tuition rate is non-negotiable once agreed upon.

The client will pay to Best Tutor the fees amounting to half of the fees payable in the first 4 calendar weeks. This amount shall be deemed as the commission to Best Tutor for matching the tutor to the client, and will be borne by the tutor who will forgo receiving the said fees paid by the client. Therefore, no payment will be made by the client to the tutor for half of the lessons conducted in the first month.

Thereafter, the client will pay the tuition fees directly to the tutor. The tutor shall collect all fees due to the tutor from any student or parent after the first two weeks. Best Tutor will not assist in any recovery of fees.

Tuition fees are to be paid every 4 weeks to the tutor, unless otherwise agreed between the client and the tutor.

If lessons are postponed during the first two weeks, the commission payable to Best Tutor will be based on the tuition session conducted the following week(s).

ACCEPTANCE OF ASSIGNMENT

Upon receiving an Assignment Description, the tutor may apply for the Assignment. If the tutor is chosen by the client, the tutor is bound to conduct the lessons as stated in the Assignment Description, or as mutually amended in subsequent communications.

TRIAL LESSON

Paid trial lessons can have 1.5 hour or 2 hour durations.

TUTORING LOCATION

The tutor will be teaching at the student’s residence at the mutually agreed upon time, unless specified and agreed by the client and the tutor. The tutor must provide his/her own transport to the client’s home/lesson location.

FIRST LESSON

Once the client accepts the tutor’s candidacy, the client will not be able to change the schedule of the First Lesson.

Clients are allowed to make changes in the schedule after the First Lesson is over. However, Best Tutor hopes that this is not necessary as the tutor has already reserved that slot of time for the client. If the client wants to make changes in the schedule, the client is to consult with the tutor to ask if he/she is able to change the schedule or not.

The tutor is to bring your academic transcripts/certificates and relevant documents for your first lessons with the client for verification purposes.

If the tutor is unable to conduct the First Lesson of a tuition assignment, the tutor must call Best Tutor at least 3 business days before the actual lesson. If the tutor fails to notify Best Tutor of the tutor’s cancellation/postponement, an administrative charge of S$30 will be imposed on the tutor.

If the tutor fails to contact Best Tutor with a valid reason to inform us about the tutor’s absence from the lesson, the tutor’s profile at Best Tutor may be blacklisted. This will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

You are encouraged to carefully and responsibly consider before committing to an Assignment.

CENTRAL PROVIDENT FUND

Tutors agree to be responsible for all required obligations to the Central Provident Fund as a self-employed person. This is because, you, as a tutor, are providing private tutoring services under a contract of service to the client as an independent contractor. The tutor is not an employee of Best Tutor, and the tutor accepts full responsibility for all income tax, insurance and other liabilities payable in relation to any fees generated from a tuition assignment.

TUTOR REASSIGNMENT OR CANCELLATION OF ASSIGNMENTS

If at any time the client is not satisfied with the tutor, the client may request a replacement or termination. However, the client is responsible for paying the fee for the number of lessons given prior to termination.

Best Tutor will discuss separately with the client and the tutor regarding future tuition arrangements, and Best Tutor will change the tutor for the client. There will not be any extra charges for the change and the client needs to pay just for the tuition session(s) that have been conducted.

If the client cancels a tutoring assignment before the tutor completes the agreed number of lessons for the first 4 calendar weeks, Best Tutor assumes full legal claim to 50% of the tuition fees for the total number of lessons delivered in the month. For example, if the client had requested for 8 lessons per month, but the assignment was cancelled after the 5th session, Best Tutor will be paid commission for the 5 lessons conducted.

Best Tutor will not be liable for any payment charges or issues arising from the cancellation of tuition assignments by the client.

If the client terminates the Assignment because the tutor is often late, skips lessons without valid explanations etc, the tutor will bear Best Tutor’ full commission fee.

If the tutor cancels the Assignment after confirming acceptance (that is, the client’s contact information and address have been given to the tutor), the tutor will need to compensate the commission which amounts to 50% of the fees payable (as stated in the confirmation Whatsapp, sms, email or other forms of electronic communications) for the first 4 weeks.

If the tutor wishes to cancel a Tuition Assignment before the end of the first 4 calendar weeks, the tutor is to inform both Best Tutor as well as the client at least 3 days before the next lesson date. Best Tutor will recover our legal share of the one-time commission of 50% of the fee for the first 4 calendar weeks from the tutor. Tutors are encouraged to have a long-term commitment as the clients have vested their trust in you.

TERMINATION

The client has the right to terminate the tuition if the tutor is unable to produce the documents certifying his/her credentials. In such cases, the tutor has to pay Best Tutor the amount of money equivalent to the tuition fee for the day as commission.

The tutor will receive full or pro-rated payment for the number of lessons rendered, provided the tutor has complied with the Terms of this Agreement.

DISCLAIMER

While Best Tutor tries to provide clients and tutors with the closest tutor match possible, we cannot guarantee a satisfying match. We hold no responsibility or liability for problems, unhappiness, or disputes that are a result of the tutor or client. Best Tutor will not act as an arbitrator for any disagreements that arise between tutor and client. However, Best Tutor may try to mediate whenever possible and reserves all rights to blacklist any party who is at fault. Best Tutor reserves the right to terminate or deny services to any client or tutor at any time.

INDEMINITY

EXCEPTIONAL TUTORS

Tutors are directly recruited by Best Tutor. We do not rent databases from other tuition agencies, and we do not rent out our database to licensees nor to subscribers.

Best Tutor has a team of qualified tutors who specialize in teaching university and polytechnic level modules, for undergraduate students who need private tuition and are studying at NUS, NTU, SMU and universities with a presence in Singapore.

Many new tuition assignments every day, at Best Tutor.

This is the Tutor Code Of Conduct:

When responsible tutors apply for assignments, Best Tutor shows their profiles to our clients with our strong recommendations.

Best Tutor can help you fill your available tutoring slots with as many tuition jobs and quality students as you can accommodate.

We also require our tutors to observe:

  • The student’s academic performance always comes first
    Update the parents regularly on the student’s progress, learning needs, and challenges
  • Tutors shall provide their tutoring services with all due skill, diligence and professionalism
  • Be punctual for all lessons
  • Be appropriately dressed
  • If you must re-schedule, please do so at least 2 days before the actual day
  • Avoid excessive use of your mobile phone during the lesson
  • Get regular updates of the school curriculum, exam formats, and marking requirements
  • Have a pleasant disposition
  • No physical contact with the student at all times
  • No vulgarities shall be used

Becoming Better Tutors - And Ensuring You Get Many Tuition Jobs

Our most experienced, successful and responsible tutors – who get offers of many tuition jobs – often ask themselves: “How well did I”:

  • Prepare for the particular lesson
  • Encourage the student to think, through the use of questions
  • Competently handle questions from your student
  • Keep the student interested in the lesson
  • If you feel that your lesson was lacking in any of these areas, then you need to review the lesson plan based upon what you know about your Student’s particular learning style.

When tutors focus on goal setting and customized lesson plans, your students will progress academically.

This is the surest way that you can get many tuition jobs

Proven Tips To Be An Effective Private Tutor, So That You Will Be Offered Many Tuition Jobs 

Be a responsible tutor. When you are patient and nurturing, parents appreciate your efforts. Remember that every child is capable of using strategies you teach to find the knowledge, keep the knowledge and constantly improve from where they are

Provide the student more chances to speak up throughout lessons. This will help him/her to better understand the content. The student will likely then become more comfortable to speak out in your presence

Once you sense that the attention span of your student is decreasing, you should learn how to change topics or perhaps offer the student a rest. A five-minute break can certainly make miracles for a student

Speak with the parents if the student isn’t paying attention to you, and suggest ways to better involve the parent and student in your lessons

Responsible tutors can make learning real, relevant and rigorous. Such tutors are experts in their academic content – they thoroughly understand the subject’s concepts, ideas and problems

Being a tutor is a formidable yet rewarding career. It is a great challenge to take, and all the effort you put in is worth it because you have the satisfaction of working one-on-one, and seeing your students overcome challenges

Whether it is tutoring Math, English, Physics or Principles of Accounting, you are providing the knowledge, attention and time a student needs in order to learn difficult subject matter

Many students have lowered self esteem because of poor grades and difficulties with learning. By carefully and expertly working with them, you are giving them an enormous advantage to work at their pace and for them to ask questions without being ridiculed

As a tutor, you are able to nurture students and help them enhance their knowledge, raise their confidence and help them succeed
