Science is one of the most challenging subjects in the Singapore education system. In fact, most students complain that Science is the most difficult segment of the PSLE. Moreover, with the constant updates in the MOE Science syllabus, parents often find themselves uncertain when it comes to helping their children with Science schoolwork. This is why there is an increasing demand for Science tuition in Singapore today.

There are three types of tuition that are available in Singapore right now.

  • In group tuition, classes are taught in small groups, similar to a classroom setting. Tuition fees for group tuition tend to be lower.
  • In one-on-one tuition, full attention is given to the student, and the teaching method is personalized. One-on-one tuition can be more expensive.
  • Online tuition has become increasingly popular since the start of the pandemic. You might want to choose this type of tuition if you want your child to learn safely in the comfort of your own home.

Read on below to learn more about the 5 best tuition centres in Singapore for Science and which types of tuition they offer.
