Is it easy to start tutoring?

It's incredibly straightforward! In just 5 minutes, you can create your profile and start teaching. A professional photo, a clear description of your qualifications and teaching experience, plus your availability – that's all you need to begin. From Tampines to Jurong, Bedok to Woodlands, our platform gives you excellent visibility to attract students at all levels. You can offer online tuition via video call, home tuition at the student's place, or lessons at your own location. Individual or small group sessions – the choice is yours.

Why become a tutor?

Tutoring allows you to share your knowledge and passion for your subject. It can serve as supplemental income or become your main career. You set your own rates and schedule freely. Most importantly: Superprof takes no commission – you keep 100% of what you earn. Positive reviews from students boost your reputation and bring more enquiries your way. Every lesson is an opportunity to witness a student's improvement thanks to your guidance.

I'm a university student: can I give tuition?

Absolutely! University students are highly sought after as tutors, especially for primary and secondary school levels. Your age makes you more relatable to younger students. Take the example of Wei Ming, an Engineering student at NUS: he tutors Maths and Physics for 4 hours a week and earns around S$200 per month. PSLE and O-Level preparation is especially popular. If you're studying at NTU, SMU, SUTD, or any local university, your knowledge is valuable to students preparing for their major exams.

I'm a qualified teacher: can I give private tuition?

Yes, and it's perfectly common in Singapore. Whether you're a current or former MOE teacher, your expertise is highly valued. Thousands of teachers already use Superprof to tutor outside school hours. For example, Mrs Tan, a Maths teacher, earns an extra S$1,500 per month through private tuition. Your teaching experience, understanding of the MOE curriculum, and exam strategies are exactly what parents look for. NIE-trained tutors can command premium rates of S$80-150 per hour.

Expert in your field: become a tutor

Are you a music teacher, sports coach, IT professional, chef, or artist? Your skills and experience will quickly attract students. No teaching qualification is required to share your expertise. Jason, a pianist from Toa Payoh, started offering piano lessons on Superprof and found his first students within a week. Offer lessons at all levels and share your passion with enthusiastic learners.

Example of a great tutor advert

A compelling advert makes all the difference. Clearly present your background and qualifications. Explain your teaching methodology and what makes you stand out. Indicate your availability and lesson formats (face-to-face, online, at the student's home).

«NUS Mathematics Honours graduate, former MOE teacher with 6 years of experience. I specialise in O-Level and A-Level Maths, including H2 Maths. My approach: building strong foundations and exam techniques that work. Available weekday evenings and weekends, at your home (East side) or online. First lesson free to assess your levels and discuss goals!»

Add a video introduction and concrete examples of student improvements – mention AL scores and grade jumps. Will you be the tutor of the year?

What subjects can you teach?

Over 2000 subjects await you on Superprof! From school subjects (Maths, Science, English, Chinese, Mother Tongue) to music (piano, violin, guitar), sports (swimming, tennis, badminton), languages, and professional skills. The platform covers every level from P1 through JC2, plus the IB curriculum. Online tuition lets you reach students anywhere in Singapore, from Punggol to Clementi. Whatever your talent, there are students looking for exactly what you offer.

What do I need to start tutoring?

This is a common question! In Singapore, private tuition isn't heavily regulated for individuals. You can work as a self-employed tutor and report your income in your annual tax filing. Registration with ACRA is optional for individual tutors. Typical tuition rates range from S$35-60 per hour for primary level, S$45-75 for secondary, and S$60-100+ for JC level. MOE teachers and NIE-trained tutors command premium rates. Most tutors offer a trial lesson at a discount. While you can find work through agencies like Smiletutor or platforms like Tueetor, Superprof stands out with no commission fees and the widest variety of subjects beyond just academics.

A unique approach for every student

Every student is different, and that's what makes tutoring rewarding. As a private tutor, you build a relationship of trust with your students. You adapt to their learning pace and style. You contribute to their success, whether they're aiming for AL1 in PSLE or an A in A-Levels. Watching a student improve their grades and gain confidence through your support is incredibly satisfying – that's the kiasu culture working in everyone's favour.
