SINGAPORE’S LEADING PRIVATE TUITION AGENCY

HOW DO I REQUEST FOR A TUTOR?

You can request for a tutor by submitting our online Request Form.

Upon receiving your request, we will Whatsapp you to discuss your child’s academic needs. We will spend the next few hours shortlisting several suitable tutors within our database and network for your consideration.

Our working hours are from 9am to 9pm, seven days a week.

Tuition usually commences within one week after you have selected a tutor.

TRIAL LESSON

The paid trial lessons can be 1.5 hours or 2 hours per session.

CAN I CHANGE THE TUTOR AFTER THE TUITION BEGINS?

You just need to pay for the tuition session(s) that have been conducted. There will not be any extra charges for the change.

AM I ABLE TO VIEW THE TUTOR’S CERTIFICATES BEFORE THE FIRST LESSON?

You can request to see the hardcopies of certificates of your tutor to be presented to you during the first lesson.

The client acknowledges that it is his/her responsibility to verify the suitability, credentials and qualifications of any tutor with whom he/she engages.

HOW MUCH DO I PAY FOR YOUR TUTOR MATCHING SERVICES?

Professional Tutors is Singapore’s leading private tuition agency and our matching service is free for students/parents requesting for tutors. This is because our agency commission is charged to the tutor, not to you.

The client will pay to Professional Tutors half of the fees payable in the first 4 calendar weeks. This amount is the commission to Professional Tutors for matching the tutor to the client, and will be borne by the tutor.

Thereafter, the client will pay the tuition fees directly to the tutor.

If lessons are postponed during the first two weeks, the commission payable to Professional Tutors will be based on the tuition session conducted the subsequent week(s).

The tutor shall collect all fees due to the tutor from the parent after the two weeks. Professional Tutors will not assist in any recovery of fees.

PAYMENT OF FEES

The client is required to pay tuition fees only for the number of hours of lessons given by the tutor.

If you decide to stop the tuition after the first lesson, you are required to pay for only that lesson.

Please transfer the fee for that lesson to Professional Tutors and we will transfer the tutor’s fee to him/her.

Tutors are not authorized at any time to collect the payment on Professional Tutors’s behalf.

Tuition fees are to be paid every 4 weeks to the tutor, unless otherwise agreed between the client and the tutor.

PAYMENT MODE

We will provide our bank account information for you to make payment via internet banking or ATM transfer directly to Professional Tutors’s bank account.

If the client fails to pay us, Professional Tutors reserves the right to terminate the Assignment. This is in fairness to the tutor, who might need to give the available slot to another client if this Assignment does not materialize.

Once the payment is received, it will be acknowledged in the form of a receipt, issued to the payer (Parent/Requestor/Guardian) via Whatsapp, sms, email or other electronic communications medium. We will also provide details of the Tuition Assignment that can include: tutor’s name, hourly fee, date of commencement of tuition, subject(s), level, duration of each lesson and frequency, etc.

FIRST LESSON

Once the client accepts the tutor’s candidacy, the client will not be able to change the schedule of the First Lesson.

Clients are allowed to make changes in the schedule after the First Lesson is over. However, Professional Tutors hopes that this is not necessary as the tutor has already reserved that slot of time for you.

If you want to make changes in the schedule, please consult with your tutor to ask if he/she is able to change the schedule or not.

The tutor is to bring his/her identity document, academic transcripts/certificates and relevant documents for the First Lesson for verification purposes.

If the tutor is unable to conduct the First Lesson of a tuition assignment, the tutor must call Professional Tutors at least 3 business days before the actual lesson. If the tutor fails to notify Professional Tutors of his/her cancellation/postponement, an administrative charge of S$30 will be imposed on him/her.

If the tutor fails to contact Professional Tutors with a valid reason to inform us about the tutor’s absence from the lesson, the tutor’s profile at Professional Tutors may be blacklisted. This will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

LOCATION OF TUTORING LESSONS

Tutors will conduct lessons at the student’s residence unless otherwise specified and agreed upon by both the client and the tutor.

If the client has a request for the tuition to be conducted at another location (eg a friend’s home), Professional Tutors will ask if the tutor is able to accommodate the request.

Professional Tutors and the tutor will not be responsible if the given location is occupied or not available for use for the lessons and the officially scheduled timings will still be counted as a paid lesson.

TUTOR REASSIGNMENT OR CANCELLATION OF ASSIGNMENTS

There is no obligation or contract to complete a fixed number of lessons, except for the First Lesson.

If at any time the client is not satisfied with the tutor, the client may request a replacement or termination. However, the client is responsible for paying the fee for the number of lessons given prior to termination.

Professional Tutors will discuss separately with the client and the tutor regarding future tuition arrangements, and Professional Tutors will change the tutor for the client. There will not be any extra charges for the change and the client needs to pay just for the tuition session(s) that have been conducted.

If the client cancels a tutoring assignment before the tutor completes the agreed number of lessons for the first 4 calendar weeks, Professional Tutors assumes full claim to 50% of the tuition fees for the total number of lessons delivered in the month. For example, if the client had requested for 8 lessons per month, but the assignment was cancelled after the 5th session, Professional Tutors will be paid pro-rated commission for the 5 lessons conducted.

Professional Tutors will not be liable for any payment charges or issues arising from the cancellation of tuition assignments by the client.

If the client terminates the Assignment because the tutor is often late, skips lessons without valid explanations etc, the tutor will bear Professional Tutors’s full commission fee.

If the tutor cancels the Assignment after confirming acceptance (that is, the client’s contact information and address have been given to the tutor), the tutor will need to compensate the commission which amounts to 50% of the fees payable (as stated in the confirmation Whatsapp, sms, email or other forms of electronic communications messages) for the first 4 weeks.

If the tutor wishes to cancel a Tuition Assignment before the end of the first 4 calendar weeks, the tutor is to inform both Professional Tutors as well as the client at least 3 days before the next lesson date. Professional Tutors will recover our legal share of the one-time commission of 50% of the fee for the first 4 calendar weeks from the tutor. Tutors are encouraged to have a long-term commitment as the clients have vested their trust in them.

TERMINATION

The tutor will receive full or pro-rated payment for the number of lessons rendered, provided the tutor has complied with the Terms of this Agreement.

The client has the right to terminate the tuition if the tutor is unable to produce the documents certifying his/her credentials. In such cases, the tutor has to pay Professional Tutors the amount of money equivalent to the tuition fee for the day, as commission.

Critical thinking is very important to obtaining strong overall analytical skills.

Effective critical thinkers are able to think clearly and rationally and understand the logical relations between data points and ideas.

Data and content form the core of the essence of what you need to learn for your exams.

You need to identify patterns in the data and content that are given in your text books, and also to correctly convey your analysis of the data to exam markers, in order to earn crucial exam marks.

In every exam/assessment that we take from P1 to post-doctoral level – and especially once we start working after graduation – we need to objectively analyze complex problems to form a judgment and the best response to make.

When you want to arrive at rational answers, critical thinking is a very important skill to master.

There are a few different types of logical thinking, including:

  1. Inference: Assuming an answer based on facts we already know
  2. Inductive reasoning: Observing a specific pattern, then making a general conclusion
  3. Deductive reasoning: Observing a general premise, then applying it to a specific situation

Are you an analytical thinker?

An analytical thinker is a person driven by curiosity to get to the bottom of things and is then able to solve a problem or find an answer.

They do not assume anything about the problem at hand.

Instead, they begin by questioning everything about the issue.

You can start to develop these good analytical thinking habits listed below (some, but not all of these qualities may be found in a person with an analytical nature):

  1. Search for information and evidence.
  2. Analytical thinkers will find and evaluate every bit of information they can accumulate on a particular subject or challenge before arriving at a decision
  3. Develop logical and systematic processes.
  4. Rarely will an analytical thinker be swayed by emotion.
  5. Usually, this individual will use linear thinking to arrive at a sound, sensible, well-thought-out conclusion.
  6. Logical thinkers tend to embrace structure and rules.
  7. Most analytical thinkers like to work in a well-organized way.
  8. When you are organized, you will be thorough in your work and never miss out on important information that needs to be reviewed and considered.
  9. For example, if you develop a keen interest in an area, you’ll make sure you learn as much as possible about that field and become an expert.
  10. This is the kind of professionalism and attention to detail that businesses (and your exam markers) are looking out for.
  11. Start having routines in your daily life.
  12. Analytical thinkers enjoy routines and have steady, established habits.
  13. They prefer to know what and when something is going to happen. Daily life is often based around routines.
  14. They have an innate ability to concentrate, which means they usually like to work independently or in small teams.
  15. Develop sharp memory skills.
  16. It is common for an analytical thinker to thrive on learning new information – and once learned, that information is never forgotten.
  17. Analytical thinkers have exceptional memories, although they can opt to forget information that they do not consider critical to solving their current problem.
  18. Analytical thinkers can also be curious and observant.
  19. Get in the habit of asking “how?” and “why?”.
  20. They tend to be modest: it’s difficult to be curious and observant when one is arrogant and thinks that he/she already knows everything.
  21. You can consciously observe and analyze your surroundings.
  22. When you are highly perceptive, your mind is geared towards taking a bird’s eye view of things which enables you to consider the whole picture.
  23. This also means that you’ll be able to visualize how parts of a project fit together.
  24. You’ll be in a better position to foresee and predict how minor changes and adjustments can affect the outcome and make astute decisions.
  25. Get in the habit of forcing yourself to analyze seemingly obvious truths about the world.
  26. When you are always prepared and can handle risk well, it becomes highly unlikely that you will be shocked when faced with problematic situations.
  27. Your preparedness and risk management skills will help you ensure that you have predicted any potential threats to being able to answer difficult exam questions, and are already prepared with a plan of action.
  28. Analytical thinkers are known for spotting problems from far away, and being ready to meet challenges head-on.

If you can identify with the qualities above and prefer strategy and creativity over socializing and networking, chances are you’re an analytical thinker.

Whether you struggle with analytical thinking or seem to have natural analytical abilities, you can always improve your skills.

Visualization, creativity, and having a growth mindset – the ability to embrace new technologies and upgrade skills – are key to the analytical thinker’s success jobs that pay high salaries.

Analytical skills are used when detecting patterns and trends, brainstorming new ideas, observing data, collecting data, interpreting data, integrating new information, synthesizing information, and making decisions on what solutions to implement in a productive manner.

Analytical skills refer to a person’s ability to assess relevant information and facts, identify and define complex problems, investigate and extract crucial information from data, and find the best workable solutions to these problems.

According to LinkedIn, they are one of the top 10 most in-demand soft skills that employers always look for.

Analytical skills are highly transferable, making the analytical thinker an ideal fit for a variety of career fields.

The analytical thinker’s breadth and versatility of skills are the primary reason why employers look for this coveted trait.

Analytical and critical thinking skills allow employees to adapt and respond to new obstacles.

Company success often depends on employees who can efficiently and effectively analyze the vast amounts of data and information in the digital age.

Logical decision makers use fact-based, hard evidence to support their decisions and plans.

They arrive at their decisions after factoring every aspect of a situation and utilizing the best means of achieving the most optimal solution.

This results in successful outcomes because of the quality of decisions that they are able to make.

Companies that employ skilled analytical thinkers are better able to adapt and respond to new market conditions as well.

Accordingly, analytical skills show up frequently as a required quality in job descriptions.

For example, a sales job description may list qualitative analysis or predictive analysis as requirements.

Developing strong analytical skills is therefore vital to anyone who wants to succeed in their school/national exams and then when they start their careers.

You have to write analytically when you answer exam questions.

Analytical essays (even if they are only a few sentences long) provide a way to share your insights that provide substantive analysis of a topic.

A good analytical essay can explain and contextualize basic information for the exam marker.

Analytical responses serve two purposes: one for the reader and one for the writer.

Your exam marker wants to know how you have grown as a writer and thinker.

Your ability to write analytically will convince the exam marker that you have a strong grasp over the content that the question is testing you on.

What sets an analytical essay apart from a descriptive answer is the author’s point of view.

Analytical essays present an argument supported by evidence, whereas descriptive essays tend to be book summaries, film synopses, descriptive articles, and informative pamphlets that do not include analysis or opinion.

Similar to a good analytical essay, a strong descriptive essay will highlight its main points, organize given topics into body paragraphs, and use logical transitions.

Ultimately, however, descriptive essays summarize facts, while analytical essays delve into interpretation.

The best analytical essays offer a clear point of view, are well organized around a main idea, address opposing arguments, and are comprehensively supported by primary and secondary sources.

  1. You should start by choosing a point of view.
  2. No matter what you choose as your central point of view, you must be able to anchor your entire analytical essay around a singular thesis statement/point of view.
  3. Your introductory paragraph has to state your point of view.
  4. An excellent introduction will grasp your reader’s interest. It is therefore important that you take extra care in your opening paragraph.
  5. Good ways to start your essay would with a hook such as a bold statement.
  6. You should then provide a broad outline that addresses questions that the exam questions requires you to tackle.
  7. A good introduction concludes with a thesis statement that serves as the compass (ie “GPS”) for the entire essay.
  8. You then need to carefully organize the body of your essay.
  9. After your introductory paragraph, divide your essay into body paragraphs that dig deep into specific topics.
  10. All body paragraphs should serve the main goal of supporting your thesis statement, either by providing background information, delving into details, or providing contrasting viewpoints that each substantiate themselves.
  11. The number of body paragraphs will vary depending on the scope and length of your essay that the exam questions require from you.
  12. The structure of your essay is just as important as the subject of your essay, so do take the time to strategically plan each body paragraph.
  13. Your topic sentences must be clearly crafted.
  14. Each main body paragraph should begin with a topic sentence that both introduces the topic of the that specific paragraph, and then ties it to your main thesis.
  15. Populate your essay with evidence that is directly related to the exam question. Do not ramble or go off-point.
  16. The main body of the essay should be filled with a mixture of substance and analysis.
  17. You can convince your exam marker to give you higher marks only when you are able to provide solid evidence to back up your statements and point of view.
  18. Therefore, you must support the main points of your analysis with evidence taken from your textbooks or the research that you had previously conducted on this subject.
  19. You can make an argument stronger by acknowledging another point of view.
  20. Even if you do not agree with a critical perspective, you can still use a body paragraph to describe that point of view.
  21. You can then refute that argument with additional evidence and reasoning, strengthening your thesis/position on that issue.
  22. The summary is also very important.
  23. Wrap up your analytical essay with a concluding paragraph that recaps your argument.
  24. The concluding paragraph is not the place to introduce new evidence.
  25. Rather, it is the ribbon that you wrap around your entire essay, reminding your reader of your most important points and leaving them with some final convincing words for consideration of your point of view.

Perseverance means continuously working on a task despite having obstacles.

It means being hardworking and finishing what is started, even when barriers and problems arise.

Perseverance is an essential leadership skill.

It is more than just not giving up.

When you’re in a leadership role, perseverance is more of a problem-solving process that includes encountering a challenge, understanding why the challenge exists, finding a way to overcome the challenge and, above all, learning from the entire experience.

It is often what separates those that achieve success, and prevents disappointment for themselves and their team.

The satisfaction received from completing tasks and projects is very important to those who are able and want to persevere.

It means the willpower to work hard regardless of any obstacles, to be firm on achieving, and remaining consistent.

Sometimes we are unable to complete a task or get what we want when things don’t go our way.

However, by persevering, we can have better prospects of being successful.

Everyone who takes an idea and makes it into something valuable does it through hard work.

Tied very closely to hard work is perseverance, continuing forward without regard to discouragement, opposition, hurdles, or memories of previous failure.

Ultimately, perseverance is about being confident in your abilities and trusting that you’ll find a way through, if you persist.

Don’t be afraid to fail.

Perseverance comes from failing and getting back up.

Without failure, we cannot become resilient.

Therefore, we have to think of failure as a lesson, rather than a setback.

We can learn so much from failure that changing our attitude toward it can have amazing implications for our lives.

When we aim to be 1% better every day, we develop a growth mindset that is a great way to increase perseverance and motivation.

These are skills like any other types of talents that you want to develop, and try to improve upon them just 1% every day.

Keeping this concept in mind throughout the day is an excellent way to motivate ourselves.

Have you heard of the 40% Rule?

This Rule means that if you manage to complete 40% of the task, your likelihood of quitting drops dramatically.

So, work toward completing 40% of the task. Then the rest of the 60% is not that difficult/intimidating to complete.

Keep your goals in mind.

When we make mistakes or fail, many people will be tempted to give up altogether.

If we want to persevere, we need to keep our goals in mind at all times.

Start by writing down your short and long-term goals and place them somewhere that’s easy to access.

Ask yourself why you have chosen and then embarked on a certain goal.

Reflecting on that reminds us that the journey is worth our time.

Then, whenever there’s any discouraging event or comment, take a look at that list to inspire you and keep you moving forward.

Success can be a long and tough journey.

We should give ourselves rewards or encouragement along the way to the major goals.

The rewards can be anything from having a nice lunch, extra hours spent at the park, or a weekend break.

The rewards will keep reminding you of the progress you have made, and will provide continued motivation to persevere through difficult times.

The people who become successful are not the ones who are the most talented. 

It’s the ones with the most endurance.

Whether the skill of perseverance comes easily to you or not, the best part is that there are so many ways for us to develop our mental resilience, which then helps our grades get better.

Self-motivation is the force that keeps pushing us to go on – it’s our internal drive to achieve, produce, develop, and keep moving forward.

When you think you’re ready to quit something, or you just don’t know how to start, your self-motivation is what pushes you to go on.

By setting a goal – anything from scoring 10 more marks for Maths, avoiding careless mistakes, or paying more attention in class – you are taking a big step toward improving your life.

However, following through to achieve what we’ve set out to accomplish can be challenging, especially on those days when our energy levels are low and we just don’t feel like putting in the work.

We all lose motivation from time to time.

When you’re feeling unmotivated, try one of these science-backed strategies to get yourself back on track toward your goal.

  1. Put your goal on the calendar and give yourself target dates. Whatever it is you’re aiming to accomplish, put the timelines on the calendar.
  2. If your goal lacks this structure, you can include it in your calendar by deciding on a date by which you could realistically achieve your goal.
  3. Having a target date not only helps you stay motivated, it also helps you track your progress – you always know how much further you have to go and how much you have already achieved.
  4. You can also draw a progress bar on a piece of paper that you can stick in front of your study area.
  5. Look at it regularly and fill it in as you get closer to your goal.
  6. This can have a big impact on your performance and determination to succeed.
  7. Set small goals that lead toward the main goal, in order to build momentum.
  8. Getting started is often the hardest part on low-motivation days, and starting is much easier when the task is small. Begin with five minutes of study first, then work your way up to an hour a day etc.
  9. Track your progress. Not every day will go exactly as planned, and that’s okay.
  10. We can’t predict everything that could happen, but we can predict some obstacles that are likely to happen from time to time based on our unique circumstances.
  11. Then when that obstacle pops up, instead of losing motivation and feeling deflated, you have a plan in place to keep the momentum going.
  12. Practice gratitude for every tiny step that you are making toward your small goals and eventual big goals.
  13. Research shows that frequent small successes can build a momentum that can in turn drive long-term success, especially early in the process.
  14. Whatever your big goal may be, start by breaking it down into smaller chunks, and it will be easier to achieve most or all of them.
  15. Reward yourself for the little wins as well as the big ones. Rewards can improve motivation and performance.
  16. Rewarding yourself for reaching small milestones and completing big goals could boost your interest and enjoyment in the work you’re doing.
  17. Spend a few minutes making your own reward list so that you’re ready to celebrate your wins, big and small.
  18. Improve your mood and mental health.
  19. A good mood has been linked to increased productivity, and improvement in both quality and quantity of our work.
  20. This doesn’t mean that you have to be positive all the time – being chirpy every minute of every day is not realistic.
  21. But if you’re feeling sluggish about working toward your goal, a quick mood lift could be enough to get you started.
  22. Having a change of your environment can help you approach your task with a fresh perspective (and a new sense of motivation).
  23. This is called the novelty effect – a short-term boost that comes from altering your environment or routine.
  24. Spend some time in nature (or at least get some sunlight while taking a nice walk around the neighbourhood).
  25. Try a different exercise routine.
  26. Watch funny videos on TikTok or YouTube.

Good ways to further motivate yourself would be to ask yourself:

  1. Why is this goal important to you?
  2. Why is that reason important to you?

Keep thinking about these until you get to your ultimate “why” – which is the core value that’s driving your goal.

What would it feel like to achieve your goal?

You know that it will feel great, and that promise of your happiness and sense of achievement will keep you focused on wanting to continue to do well.

USE OF INFORMATION

The primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide the users with a smooth and customized matching experience.

To ensure success of the Tuition Assignment, Professional Tutors is selective of the type of students we accept as there is a small percentage of students who are not suitable for tuition.

MOE TEACHERS/NIE STUDENTS

Tutors who are current MOE teachers are required to obtain the necessary approval from the Ministry of Education before accepting any assignment from Professional Tutors.

ACCURACY OF INFORMATION

The tutor shall fill in as accurately and completely as possible his/her name, contact details, qualifications, results, relevant experience, subject and level preferences, and will update such information in a timely manner.

The tutor shall not mislead users accessing the website and using Professional Tutors’ services. You will not provide inaccurate, invalid, false or incomplete information to Professional Tutors.

The tutor is solely responsible for any legal liability arising out of or relating to the Tutor Profile submitted to Professional Tutors, and shall indemnify Professional Tutors against any and all claims, damages, liability, loss, or causes of action (including legal fees and expenses that may be incurred by Professional Tutors) in connection with the provision of services by this website.

Please note that Assignments would be confirmed with the client and tutors based on the most qualified match and prompt response from the tutor.

We reserve complete rights to reject any applications for the assignments.

If the tutor is not interested in the Assignment that we contacted you with, please disregard the assignment message.

CLIENTS’ CRITERIA FOR SELECTING TUTORS

The criteria stated by the client for each Tuition Assignment can differ from case to case.

Some clients require MOE teachers, others state their preference for experienced undergraduates with proven experience to improve the grades of their students.

Tuition Assignments are based on tuition demand and how well the profile of each tutor matches with the client’s requirements.

Professional Tutors makes tutor recommendations based on the tutors’ known track record in successful tutoring.

The submission of the tutor’s profile to the client does not bind the client to engage the services of the tutor, and remains subject to confirmation by the client.

FEES AND COMMISSION

Once the tutor and the client confirm a match, the tuition rate is non-negotiable once agreed upon.

The client will pay to Professional Tutors the fees amounting to half of the fees payable in the first 4 calendar weeks. This amount shall be deemed as the commission to Professional Tutors for matching the tutor to the client, and will be borne by the tutor who will forgo receiving the said fees paid by the client. Therefore, no payment will be made by the client to the tutor for half of the lessons conducted in the first month.

Thereafter, the client will pay the tuition fees directly to the tutor. The tutor shall collect all fees due to the tutor from any student or parent after the first two weeks. Professional Tutors will not assist in any recovery of fees.

Tuition fees are to be paid every 4 weeks to the tutor, unless otherwise agreed between the client and the tutor.

If lessons are postponed during the first two weeks, the commission payable to Professional Tutors will be based on the tuition session conducted the following week(s).

ACCEPTANCE OF ASSIGNMENT

Upon receiving an Assignment Description, the tutor may apply for the Assignment. If the tutor is chosen by the client, the tutor is bound to conduct the lessons as stated in the Assignment Description, or as mutually amended in subsequent communications.

TRIAL LESSON

Paid trial lessons can have 1.5 hour or 2 hour durations.

TUTORING LOCATION

The tutor will be teaching at the student’s residence at the mutually agreed upon time, unless specified and agreed by the client and the tutor. The tutor must provide his/her own transport to the client’s home/lesson location.

FIRST LESSON

Once the client accepts the tutor’s candidacy, the client will not be able to change the schedule of the First Lesson.

Clients are allowed to make changes in the schedule after the First Lesson is over. However, Professional Tutors hopes that this is not necessary as the tutor has already reserved that slot of time for the client. If the client wants to make changes in the schedule, the client is to consult with the tutor to ask if he/she is able to change the schedule or not.

The tutor is to bring your academic transcripts/certificates and relevant documents for your first lessons with the client for verification purposes.

If the tutor is unable to conduct the First Lesson of a tuition assignment, the tutor must call Professional Tutors at least 3 business days before the actual lesson. If the tutor fails to notify Professional Tutors of the tutor’s cancellation/postponement, an administrative charge of S$30 will be imposed on the tutor.

If the tutor fails to contact Professional Tutors with a valid reason to inform us about the tutor’s absence from the lesson, the tutor’s profile at Professional Tutors may be blacklisted. This will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

You are encouraged to carefully and responsibly consider before committing to an Assignment.

CENTRAL PROVIDENT FUND

Tutors agree to be responsible for all required obligations to the Central Provident Fund as a self-employed person. This is because, you, as a tutor, are providing private tutoring services under a contract of service to the client as an independent contractor. The tutor is not an employee of Professional Tutors, and the tutor accepts full responsibility for all income tax, insurance and other liabilities payable in relation to any fees generated from a tuition assignment.

TUTOR REASSIGNMENT OR CANCELLATION OF ASSIGNMENTS

If at any time the client is not satisfied with the tutor, the client may request a replacement or termination. However, the client is responsible for paying the fee for the number of lessons given prior to termination.

Professional Tutors will discuss separately with the client and the tutor regarding future tuition arrangements, and Professional Tutors will change the tutor for the client. There will not be any extra charges for the change and the client needs to pay just for the tuition session(s) that have been conducted.

If the client cancels a tutoring assignment before the tutor completes the agreed number of lessons for the first 4 calendar weeks, Professional Tutors assumes full legal claim to 50% of the tuition fees for the total number of lessons delivered in the month. For example, if the client had requested for 8 lessons per month, but the assignment was cancelled after the 5th session, Professional Tutors will be paid commission for the 5 lessons conducted.

Professional Tutors will not be liable for any payment charges or issues arising from the cancellation of tuition assignments by the client.

If the client terminates the Assignment because the tutor is often late, skips lessons without valid explanations etc, the tutor will bear Professional Tutors’ full commission fee.

If the tutor cancels the Assignment after confirming acceptance (that is, the client’s contact information and address have been given to the tutor), the tutor will need to compensate the commission which amounts to 50% of the fees payable (as stated in the confirmation Whatsapp, sms, email or other forms of electronic communications) for the first 4 weeks.

If the tutor wishes to cancel a Tuition Assignment before the end of the first 4 calendar weeks, the tutor is to inform both Professional Tutors as well as the client at least 3 days before the next lesson date. Professional Tutors will recover our legal share of the one-time commission of 50% of the fee for the first 4 calendar weeks from the tutor. Tutors are encouraged to have a long-term commitment as the clients have vested their trust in you.

TERMINATION

The client has the right to terminate the tuition if the tutor is unable to produce the documents certifying his/her credentials. In such cases, the tutor has to pay Professional Tutors the amount of money equivalent to the tuition fee for the day as commission.

The tutor will receive full or pro-rated payment for the number of lessons rendered, provided the tutor has complied with the Terms of this Agreement.

DISCLAIMER

While Professional Tutors tries to provide clients and tutors with the closest tutor match possible, we cannot guarantee a satisfying match. We hold no responsibility or liability for problems, unhappiness, or disputes that are a result of the tutor or client. Professional Tutors will not act as an arbitrator for any disagreements that arise between tutor and client. However, Professional Tutors may try to mediate whenever possible and reserves all rights to blacklist any party who is at fault. Professional Tutors reserves the right to terminate or deny services to any client or tutor at any time.

EXCEPTIONAL TUTORS

We are very proud of the quality of the tutors that we are able to attract and retain. Because our tutors receive so many assignments from us, they rarely want to register with other agencies.

Our team of MOE teachers is the largest in Singapore.

Tutors are directly recruited by Professional Tutors. We do not rent databases from other tuition agencies, and we do not rent out our database to licensees nor to subscribers.

Professional Tutors has a team of qualified tutors who specialize in teaching university and polytechnic level modules, for undergraduate students who need private tuition and are studying at NUS, NTU, SMU and universities with a presence in Singapore.

Many new tuition assignments every day, at Professional Tutors.

We are Singapore’s Top Tuition Agency.
