FAQs about Our Secondary Science Tuition
Find answers to common questions about our Secondary Science tuition and how it can benefit your child’s learning.
Is secondary science tuition really necessary, or is it just because other parents are doing it?
Some parents enrol their children in tuition to keep up with peers, while others only do so if their child is struggling. Secondary science tuition can be valuable when students find certain topics like chemistry equations or physics calculations difficult to grasp in school.
How do we ensure that these tuition lessons cater to my child's learning pace for secondary science?
Instead of rushing through topics, our tuition lessons focus on ensuring that your child has a clear grasp of every concept before moving on. By assessing your child’s strengths and areas for improvement, our tutors adjust the pace to match their current level.
Can too much tuition in secondary science backfire for teens (motivation, dependence, burnout)?
Yes. Over-reliance may reduce self-driven learning for difficult science topics. We often hear and agree with like-minded parents stressing that tuition is made to complement, not replace, independent practice, especially in upper secondary/O-Level prep.
When is the “right time” to start secondary science tuition — Sec 2, Sec 3, or wait until O-Level year?
Parents often start when conceptual gaps appear (typically at the Sec 2→Sec 3 jump) rather than waiting for the final year. Earlier, targeted help prevents small gaps from snowballing at upper secondary.
How much does secondary/O-Level science tuition usually cost in Singapore?
Reported figures vary by tutor credentials and class size; forum anecdotes mention around S$80 for a 2-hour session at the secondary level, with higher rates for premium 1-to-1 or MOE-teacher tutors.
