Maths Tutor Jobs in North Singapore, PSLE to Lower Secondary
PSLE Mathematics 0008 keeps the calculator away for Paper 1, so learners in Woodlands and Yishun need sure written arithmetic before Paper 2 opens up long-answer problems. Teach them 1-to-1, at home or online.

Maths tutor jobs in North Singapore are open with Eduprime for 1-to-1 lessons from Primary to JC, taught at learners' homes or online. Eduprime's team reads each maths request against tutor profiles and sends it to you when the level and your free hours line up; whether you take it is up to you. The heart of the year here is Foundation-end maths. PSLE Mathematics 0008 runs two papers, 2 h 30 min in total, for 100 marks; Foundation Mathematics 0038 runs 1 h 45 min for 80 marks, and both keep Paper 1 calculator-free. MOE gives 24 and 25 November 2026 as the tentative window for 2026 PSLE results. From Sec 1, learners take maths at G1, G2 or G3, and a school can move a learner up a level after the year begins, so your pacing plan follows that review.
North Singapore lines, libraries and maths lessons
- Woodlands station is the interchange where the North-South and Thomson-East Coast lines meet beside the Woodlands Integrated Transport Hub, so one stop links you to learners on either line for weekly PSLE problem-solving lessons.
- One North-South line chain runs from Marsiling to Khatib, so a tutor can set back-to-back home lessons along a single line and hold a Sec 1 learner's weekly algebra session at a fixed slot.
- At the Woodlands Civic Centre, Woodlands Regional Library holds about 340,000 items over four storeys, a place for learners to rework PSLE heuristics between lessons, such as using a representation or restating the problem.
- Yishun Public Library, on Level 4 of the North Wing at Northpoint City, has a Quiet Reading Lounge of 26 individual nooks, where a learner can redo a Paper 1 set by hand before the next lesson.
- Sembawang Library takes the whole fifth storey of Sun Plaza, which sits between Sembawang MRT station and Sembawang Bus Interchange, a quiet table for practising bar models and the matching letter equations.
The role
PSLE to Sec 1 maths duties
- Teach PSLE Mathematics 0008 problem solving through Pólya's four steps and heuristics such as using a representation, making a guess or restating the problem.
- Build the model method as pictorial reasoning, so P5 and P6 learners represent a word problem in bars before they compute the answer.
- Drill written arithmetic for Paper 1, since calculators stay off for that paper in both Mathematics 0008 and Foundation Mathematics 0038.
- Pace Foundation Mathematics 0038 lessons for P5 and P6 learners, revisiting key P1 to P4 concepts and short problems set in simple contexts.
- Coach clear, systematic working on Paper 2 structured questions, where every step is shown and the answer is given in the stated unit.
- Move Sec 1 learners from bar models to letters for unknowns, linear expressions with brackets and simple fractional equations at G3 level.
- Adjust the G1, G2 or G3 lesson plan when a secondary school moves a Sec 1 learner up a level in maths after reviewing performance.
Skills a North maths tutor brings
- Secure command of P1 to P6 maths and the G1 to G3 lower-secondary syllabus, since learners bring school work from both stages.
- Fluent written working in English, because PSLE structured questions mark every step shown and answers in the given unit.
- Experience explaining the model method and its link to algebra, gained as a tutor, mentor or classroom teacher.
- Open to undergraduates and degree holders, as well as serving, retired or NIE-trained teachers.
- Judgement to spot a crowded bar model and switch a learner to a cleaner diagram or to letters for the unknown.
- Reliable weekly hours you can keep, so each learner's lessons run on the agreed schedule through the PSLE or Sec 1 year.
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.
Who can take home assignments
Home tuition in Singapore is open to Singapore citizens, permanent residents, and holders of a valid pass that allows this work. We check your eligibility before your first lesson. Serving MOE teachers need MOE approval before taking paid tuition. Lessons run at the learner's home or online, and online lessons are taught from Singapore.

Questions
Applicant questions on North maths tutoring
Which maths levels can I take on as a tutor in the North?
You choose your levels on your tutor profile, and Eduprime's team matches requests against those choices. In North Singapore the core of the work is PSLE Mathematics 0008, Foundation Mathematics 0038 and lower-secondary maths at G1, G2 or G3. Under Full Subject-Based Banding, a Sec 1 learner takes maths at a level based on the PSLE result, so one Sec 1 class can hold learners at different maths levels. List every level you can teach with confidence, and update your profile when that changes.
How is the hourly rate for maths tutoring set?
Every hour is paid in SGD within the band on this page. Two inputs move you along it, which maths level you teach and your track record, so a Sec 2 G3 lesson and a P5 Foundation lesson can pay differently. Eduprime bills the learner, then settles each validated session with you; collecting fees from a learner is never part of the job. A complete teaching history on your profile helps the team position you correctly in the band.
How do maths tutoring assignments reach me?
Eduprime's team handles matching and scheduling with learners. When a learner in North Singapore needs maths help at a level, place and time that fit your profile, the team proposes you with the details of the request. You check it against your diary and say yes to the ones that work; the first lesson then follows on the date set with the learner. Keep your availability and the areas you can reach up to date on your profile, so each proposal matches the hours you can actually teach.
Is algebra allowed in PSLE Maths, or must I teach the model method?
MOE gives marks when a learner applies the concept correctly with clear, systematic working, even when the method differs from the one taught in school. Algebra can therefore earn marks on PSLE structured questions, as long as each step is shown. The model method still carries weight, because MOE describes it as building the fundamentals of algebraic thinking and bridging primary and secondary maths. Teach the bars first, then show how the same bars become a letter for the unknown, the step Sec 1 algebra builds on.
Where do maths lessons happen in the North, and can I teach online?
You can teach in learners' homes across the North or online, always one learner at a time. For home lessons, the North-South line serves seven stations across the region, and the Thomson-East Coast line adds a second line at Woodlands, which shapes the areas you can cover in an afternoon. You set those areas and your hours on your tutor profile. For online maths lessons, a stylus or annotation tool lets you mark a learner's written working line by line, which matters for structured questions where each step earns marks.
What changes when a P5 learner takes Foundation Maths?
From P5, Foundation Mathematics revisits key P1 to P4 concepts, and its new content is a subset of the Standard syllabus. The 0038 paper is shorter, 1 h 45 min for 80 marks against 2 h 30 min for 100 marks in 0008, and its problem-solving questions use simple contexts. Lessons spend more time on secure basics and short, direct questions. At Sec 1, a learner who took Foundation Maths may study maths at a less demanding level, agreed with the secondary school, so plan that bridge early.
