SINGAPORE’S LEADING PRIVATE TUITION AGENCY

HOW DO I REQUEST FOR A TUTOR?

You can request for a tutor by submitting our online Request Form.

Upon receiving your request, we will Whatsapp you to discuss your child’s academic needs. We will spend the next few hours shortlisting several suitable tutors within our database and network for your consideration.

Our working hours are from 9am to 9pm, seven days a week.

Tuition usually commences within one week after you have selected a tutor.

TRIAL LESSON

The paid trial lessons can be 1.5 hours or 2 hours per session.

CAN I CHANGE THE TUTOR AFTER THE TUITION BEGINS?

You just need to pay for the tuition session(s) that have been conducted. There will not be any extra charges for the change.

AM I ABLE TO VIEW THE TUTOR’S CERTIFICATES BEFORE THE FIRST LESSON?

You can request to see the hardcopies of certificates of your tutor to be presented to you during the first lesson.

The client acknowledges that it is his/her responsibility to verify the suitability, credentials and qualifications of any tutor with whom he/she engages.

HOW MUCH DO I PAY FOR YOUR TUTOR MATCHING SERVICES?

Best Tutor is Singapore’s leading private tuition agency and our matching service is free for students/parents requesting for tutors. This is because our agency commission is charged to the tutor, not to you.

The client will pay to Best Tutor half of the fees payable in the first 4 calendar weeks. This amount is the commission to Best Tutor for matching the tutor to the client, and will be borne by the tutor.

Thereafter, the client will pay the tuition fees directly to 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 subsequent week(s).

The tutor shall collect all fees due to the tutor from the parent after the two weeks. Best Tutor will not assist in any recovery of fees.

PAYMENT OF FEES

The client is required to pay tuition fees only for the number of hours of lessons given by the tutor.

If you decide to stop the tuition after the first lesson, you are required to pay for only that lesson.

Please transfer the fee for that lesson to Best Tutor and we will transfer the tutor’s fee to him/her.

Tutors are not authorized at any time to collect the payment on Best Tutor’s behalf.

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

PAYMENT MODE

We will provide our bank account information for you to make payment via internet banking or ATM transfer directly to Best Tutor’s bank account.

If the client fails to pay us, Best Tutor reserves the right to terminate the Assignment. This is in fairness to the tutor, who might need to give the available slot to another client if this Assignment does not materialize.

Once the payment is received, it will be acknowledged in the form of a receipt, issued to the payer (Parent/Requestor/Guardian) via Whatsapp, sms, email or other electronic communications medium. We will also provide details of the Tuition Assignment that can include: tutor’s name, hourly fee, date of commencement of tuition, subject(s), level, duration of each lesson and frequency, etc.

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 you.

If you want to make changes in the schedule, please consult with your tutor to ask if he/she is able to change the schedule or not.

The tutor is to bring his/her identity document, academic transcripts/certificates and relevant documents for the First Lesson 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 his/her cancellation/postponement, an administrative charge of S$30 will be imposed on him/her.

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.

LOCATION OF TUTORING LESSONS

Tutors will conduct lessons at the student’s residence unless otherwise specified and agreed upon by both the client and the tutor.

If the client has a request for the tuition to be conducted at another location (eg a friend’s home), Best Tutor will ask if the tutor is able to accommodate the request.

Best Tutor and the tutor will not be responsible if the given location is occupied or not available for use for the lessons and the officially scheduled timings will still be counted as a paid lesson.

TUTOR REASSIGNMENT OR CANCELLATION OF ASSIGNMENTS

There is no obligation or contract to complete a fixed number of lessons, except for the First Lesson.

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 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 pro-rated 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’s 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 messages) 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 them.

TERMINATION

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.

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.

DISCLAIMER

We hold no responsibility or liability for problems, unhappiness, or disputes that are a result of the tutor or client.

Is Education Important?

According to a survey announced by HSBC in May 2016, Singaporean parents place their children’s education near the top of their financial pyramid, with more than half of parents surveyed stating that they would be willing to go into debt to fund their children’s university education.

This survey revealed that 55% of Singaporean parents rated funding their children’s education as more important than paying bills and saving for their own retirement, while 38 per cent said that they prioritise it over paying their mortgage.

The study, which surveyed more than 6,200 parents across 15 countries, also found that Singaporeans are willing to spend their hard-earned money to back up the strong emphasis placed on education.

In fact, parents in Singapore spend an average of US$15,623 (S$21,061) per year on their child’s university education, more than twice the global average of US$7,631.

Of the 15 countries in the survey, only parents from the United Arab Emirates and Hong Kong spend more than Singaporeans at US$18,360 and US$16,182 a year respectively. Parents in Egypt and Indonesia spend the least on average.

Employers Appreciate Good Academic Grades 

Graduating from a top university in South Korea is seen as the means for the youth to ensure future socio-economic status, marriage prospects, and employability (ie higher income) prospects at top multi-national companies and chaebols.

South Korean parents expect their children to compete for top marks, and studying hard to be one of the top students is pervasive throughout rural or city schools. Parents’ objective: improve grades.

About 65% of South Koreans aged between 25 to 34 have university degrees, the highest number in the OECD – whose global average is 39%

Singapore Youth With University Degrees

In Singapore, about 60% of youth have university degrees

Jobs That Need University Degrees

In the United States, top-ranked Georgetown University estimates that 35 percent of job openings in the United States will require at least a bachelor’s degree; 30 percent of the job openings will require some college or an associate’s degree; 36 percent of the job openings will not require education beyond high school.

According to the U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics. (2015), in 2013 median earnings for young adults with a bachelor’s degree were US$48,500, compared with US$23,900 for those without a high school credential, US$30,000 for those with a high school credential, and US$37,500 for those with an associate’s degree. 

Double The Salary

In other words, young adults with a bachelor’s degree earned more than twice as much as those without a high school credential (103 percent more), 62 percent more than young adult high school completers, and 29 percent more than associate’s degree holders. Additionally, in 2013 median earnings for young adults with a master’s or higher degree were US$59,600, some 23 percent more than median earnings for young adults with a bachelor’s degree. 

Whether we are living in the United States or in Singapore, many highly coveted jobs require a minimum of a degree. 

It is therefore so important for our students to improve grades, whether for their homework, assignments or exams.

According to the Straits Times on 2 March 2016, median salaries for university graduates in 2015 rose to a new high of $3,300, up from $3,200 for the class of 2014.

Improve grades. This can be done, once you have selected a reliable tutor.

Indeed, there is a rising cost – and risk – of NOT going to university.
