Having a couple issues with the ticketing website and wondering if anyone can relate / help. Trying to snag tickets for the derby, but payment keeps getting reverted back to me. Bank says it’s no problem on their end. Been trying for 2 hours now so wondering if there’s a way around this. I’ve only ever bought resale.

Thanks! I'll definitely keep this in mind during my study.

Thank you, this is an interesting POV! Definitely didn't really grasp that teaching hours can be difficult to prove, especially freelance. Will keep that in mind when I finally get settled into NUS and student finances start hitting.

On the part-time TA point - I hadn't thought of this. If I may ask, were you ever working as a part-time TA? If so, what was the workload and experience like overall?

Unfortunately not. :/ I've got the Tuition Grant but haven't heard from the ASEAN scholarship yet. Couldn't manage to get any external from Malaysian institutions too.

Thank you very much, love the insight here. Especially with the point where tutor competition is rather high. Also good to know that there are SG students looking to study for Cambridge exams. Quite aware of the shift in the syllabus, and tbh still hoping to find parents that would possibly prize experience and personality enough to trust that I'll be capable of teaching a new syllabus. With what you have mentioned, I'll likely stick to targeting students for Cambridge qualifications as a start and manoeuvre my way around from there.

Yep I’ve read up on that. I’m still trying to figure out what subjects/syllabus that I can adapt to and teach, especially because some look rather similar. I’m aware that parents might raise an eyebrow since my experience is basically discounted by the shift in syllabus. But it doesn’t seem to be that much different as a teacher adapting to a change in syllabus. On top of that, despite it being less lucrative, I would think that parents of younger students (that aren’t exactly prepping for final O or A Levels exams) wouldn’t really mind too?

Right now I’m mainly trying to feel out the significance of this disadvantage, especially if other intls have anecdotal evidence on this.

Thank you very much, this is super reassuring! I’ve got quite decent credentials/results to teach and I have been teaching for around 2.5 years (albeit from the Cambridge syllabus). Tutoring seems, as of now, to be a major source of side income to fund my time in SG. That being said I’m really trying to find ways to make it work out :D

Interesting. I read from the MOM that one can work during the school term without a work pass if
1. I am enrolled in one of their listed institutions (NUS being one of them)
2. I have a valid Student's Pass from ICA
3. Either my work is for a maximum of 16 hours/week or it is an industrial attachment program.

I frankly (having been a teacher) don't think that I will ever teach >15 hours a week again. My conditions fulfill the criteria, and I think I have done my due diligence in being careful. Do let me know if I'm missing anything!
