Types of Private Tutors and Typical Rates
- Undergraduate and part-time tutors: Usually S$25 to S$40 per hour for primary and lower secondary subjects.
- Ex-MOE and current MOE teachers: Usually S$50 to S$90 per hour. Current teachers can only tutor privately within MOE’s rules on outside work, so many parents hire retired or former teachers instead.
- Full-time professional tutors: Usually S$60 to S$150 per hour, with the upper end applying to A-Level H2 subjects, IB, IP and subjects such as Mathematics and Chemistry.
