Apply as an online A-Level tutor- Starting from S$15 per hour
- Contract, flexible hours
- 100% online, from where you live
Online A-Level tutor jobs put you beside students in a Junior College year that moves quickly. A JC1 student meets H2 content that asks for more abstraction than anything at O-Level, and by JC2 the Common Tests, the prelims and the national papers arrive one after another while three or four subjects peak together. Eduprime is hiring A-Level tutors to teach these students online, live and one-to-one, from wherever you are based. You work on the Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level syllabus set by MOE and SEAB, you plan from the student's own marked scripts, and you teach at the level they actually sit, H1 or H2. Lessons fall in Singapore evenings and weekends, when JC students are home from school and ready to work.
Why teach A-Level online with Eduprime
- You teach older, self-directed students who already know what their school expects of them, so lesson time goes into the hard topics and the marker's comments.
- Every lesson happens on screen from your own desk, so there is no travel between homes and your evening is spent teaching.
- We match you by subject, level and time slot, and you choose which offers to accept.
- Your first A-Level students are in Singapore. When learners abroad who sit Cambridge A-Levels come to Eduprime asking for your subject, they may be offered to you as well.
- One student can stay with you from JC1 through to the national papers, which lets you build a two-year plan and see it through.
The role
What you will do
- Teach live online lessons in your subject at the H1 or H2 level the student is registered for, following the current SEAB syllabus and paper format.
- Read the Common Test and prelim scripts the student uploads, identify where the marks were lost, and turn that into a plan for the weeks that remain.
- Work through school prelim papers and past-year questions under timed conditions, then go through the script together on a shared screen.
- Write out full working and annotate structured answers or essays live, so the student sees the reasoning the marker is looking for.
- Set short practice between lessons and review it at the start of the next one.
- After every four or five lessons, write the student a plain summary of which paper skills moved and which still cost marks.
What we look for
- Strong command of the subject you teach, shown by good personal A-Level results in it or a degree in the subject or a closely related field.
- Working knowledge of the current H1 and H2 syllabus for your subject, including how each paper is set and marked.
- Clear written and spoken English for explaining reasoning over a video call.
- Reliable attendance in Singapore evening and weekend slots, with notice given well ahead of any change.
- Eligibility to work in Singapore for any lesson you give while you are in Singapore.
- Former JC teachers, MOE teachers and NIE-trained tutors are welcome and are matched to the more demanding H2 work.
Pay
Hourly rate for this role
Starting from S$15 per hour
This is where pay starts. It rises with the level you teach and the experience you bring, is agreed before you accept an assignment, and is paid on schedule.
Teaching online from where you live
This role is 100% online and taught from where you live. Online lessons are taught from outside Singapore unless you are eligible to work in Singapore. You start with students in Singapore, and as intake grows Eduprime may also offer you students from other countries. Each offer depends on learners asking for your subject and level.
Your setup
Your teaching setup
What you need
- A laptop or desktop with a working camera and headset, able to run a video call and share a screen at the same time.
- A writing surface you can use on screen, such as a graphics tablet or a tablet with a stylus, for integration steps, vector diagrams, free-body diagrams and reaction mechanisms.
- A stable broadband connection that holds a video call for a full lesson, with a mobile hotspot as backup.
- Your waking hours overlap Singapore evenings and weekends (Singapore time, UTC+8), which suits tutors in nearby time zones and those who keep late or early hours.

How the JC1 and JC2 calendar shapes an online A-Level lesson plan
Junior College moves fast, and your lessons move with it. In JC1 a student is meeting H1 and H2 content for the first time, often at a pace that feels much quicker than secondary school. Early on, your sessions are mostly about building the foundations properly: clearing up a topic the lecture rushed through, reworking tutorial questions the student could not finish, and setting a weekly habit of review before the next block of content arrives.
Towards the end of JC1 the promotional examinations shift the focus to consolidation. You help the student pull a year of topics together, spot which ones are still shaky, and practise mixed questions where the topic is not announced in the heading. JC2 is shorter and more intense. Content usually wraps up early in the year, block tests and common tests follow, and the preliminary examinations set the tone for the final stretch before the A-Level papers.
Online work suits this rhythm well. When a student needs an extra session before a test, you agree a time together and open the call from your own desk, with no travel on either side. During the school holidays a learner may ask for longer, focused sessions on a single weak topic, and in the weeks before the national papers your role becomes timed practice, paper review and steady encouragement.
Seeing and marking a JC student's working through a screen
At A-Level, the marks sit in the working. A correct final answer with a skipped step in an integration, a missing condition in a hypothesis test or an unbalanced half-equation still loses credit. So the most important part of your setup is the way you and the student share written work in real time.
A good session usually looks like this. The student writes on a shared digital whiteboard or holds their script under a document camera while you watch each line appear. You annotate in a different colour with your pen tablet, circle the exact step where the reasoning went wrong, and ask the student to redo it themselves before you move on. Diagrams, graphs and organic reaction schemes are drawn live, so the student sees how you build them, line by line.
Between lessons, a student can photograph a completed paper and upload it ahead of your session. You mark it the way an examiner would, noting where method marks were earned and where they slipped, then use the call to go through the errors that matter most. Keep your annotated pages organised by topic, so that by revision season you and the student have a clear record of past mistakes to return to.
- Have the JC student narrate each step aloud while writing
- Annotate in a contrasting colour so corrections stand out on screen
- Save marked scripts by topic for revision later
Where A-Level students tend to get stuck, and how you work through it
The jump from O-Level to A-Level is the first hurdle. Topics that felt routine before now carry several ideas at once. In H2 Mathematics, students often struggle with vectors in three dimensions, integration techniques and the interpretation of statistics questions. In the sciences, the difficulty is frequently linking concepts across chapters, such as connecting energetics to equilibrium in Chemistry, or applying the same physical principle in a context the student has not seen before.
Essay subjects bring a different challenge. In Economics and General Paper, students may know the content well and still lose marks because their answers describe the issue and stop short of evaluating it. Here your work is to model a clear argument on screen, take one paragraph at a time and show where a judgement or a counterpoint would lift it.
Across every subject, time pressure is a real sticking point. Students who understand the material can still run out of time in a full paper. You can help by setting short timed sections during the lesson, reviewing which questions took too long, and agreeing a strategy for which parts to attempt first. Progress becomes visible to the student, and that confidence carries into the examination hall.
Questions
Questions from A-Level tutors
Which A-Level subjects can I teach?
Any subject on the Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level syllabus that you command at the level you offer. Mathematics, the sciences, Economics and General Paper are the subjects JC students most often ask for. Tell us each subject separately and whether you teach it at H1, H2 or both.
Can I live outside Singapore?
Yes. This role is taught from where you live. If you are in Singapore when you give a lesson, you need to be eligible to work in Singapore, and we check this before your first lesson.
When are lessons usually held?
Mostly on weekday evenings and at weekends in Singapore time, since JC students have school until late afternoon. Demand is highest in the months before the prelims and the national papers, so availability from mid-year onward is especially useful.
Do I need to know the H1 and H2 papers separately?
Yes. H1 and H2 in the same subject are set and marked differently, and a JC2 student has little time to spare. You should know which topics, question types and mark schemes belong to the level you are teaching.
Could I teach students outside Singapore?
Singapore comes first. Cambridge A-Levels are sat in many countries, so as Eduprime takes on learners elsewhere, an A-Level student abroad may be offered to you whenever they ask for your subject. If a student sits a different A-Level board, we tell you before you accept.
How is pay set?
You are paid an hourly rate in SGD for each lesson delivered. The rate for this role is shown on this page.
