Tuition rate FAQ
How much is private tuition per hour in Singapore?
Roughly S$25–130/hour. Primary sits around S$30–90, secondary S$35–110, and JC/IB/IGCSE S$45–130, depending on whether the tutor is an undergraduate, a graduate/full-time tutor, or NIE-trained / MOE.
Why do JC and A-Level rates cost more?
Higher-level content (H2 subjects, university-grade depth) needs more specialised tutors, and demand peaks before the A-Level examination — both push JC rates to the upper end.
Are MOE or ex-MOE tutors worth the higher rate?
They bring classroom and marking experience and sit at the top of each band. They help most for exam technique and grade targeting; for concept-building, a strong graduate tutor is often enough.
Is online tuition cheaper than in-person?
Often slightly lower because there is no travel, but the gap is small — the tutor's level and credentials matter more than the format.
Does Eduprime set these prices?
No. These are indicative SG market ranges. Your rate is agreed per assignment with the matched tutor based on level, subject, format and the tutor's experience.
