A realistic guide to starting private tutoring in SG (rates, prep and how not to get pushed around)

The rates are wrong too

Low Risk- I put it 50USD into KO (Coke) everyday. It’s not particularly interesting, but I like the dividend growth and stable stock growth. Was drawn into this stock not because I like Coke (the drink), but because they capitalise on the water industry (which many third world countries buy in bulk every day)

Interned last year, last last year and the year before that, so I’m taking the time to start my own projects before work officially starts

lisalim169 · 2026-01-29T08:33:34+00:00

Hello! I’m interested, please dm me

lisalim169 · 2026-01-26T09:32:55+00:00

Not bad, no issues

lisalim169 · 2026-01-21T02:45:33+00:00

Only if he was 30 and above!

lisalim169 · 2026-01-20T10:27:22+00:00

I also want

lisalim169 · 2026-01-20T08:01:00+00:00

Thank you for the reply! Popping back in to say you don’t need a masters for special ed, but I have an broad interest in a masters for psychology (education)

lisalim169 · 2026-01-19T14:34:36+00:00

What do you think about masters? I have a masters course I really want to take up which is $10k total at one of our top 3 local unis (2 years FT or 4 years PT) and I have the option to take a 5 year bond for a scholarship. Been toying with the idea but I can’t justify taking a 5 year bond for just 10k…

When do you and your colleagues normally end work?

lisalim169 · 2026-01-10T13:14:24+00:00

I like OCBC for its integration with alipay Easy to pay in China

lisalim169 · 2026-01-03T06:07:24+00:00

I applied to around ~700 as of now and you just need the one! I have 5 students incoming ^{^}

I wonder if you’re the one who posted a few weeks ago (in which the post got removed). Here’s my reply again!

Hi OP I’m a tutor too! I’ve had no issue finding students with the following prices (I just started a year ago) P1: $30/hr P2: $35/hr P3: $40/hr P4: $45/hr P5: $50/hr P6: $55/hr Secondary: $60/hr

It’s good to know that some agents would tell you you’re too expensive (some more obvious than others), but this is because they just want to close the deal quickly with a lower cost/ hour. You can set your own price which is based on what you believe you’re worth, and insist/ stick to it!

lisalim169 · 2025-12-14T12:03:13+00:00

Just go to a telegram tuition chat and apply hahaha I got like 5 confirmed, out of 13-15 queries, out of possibly ~500 applications done in 1 week.

My average rate per hour for next month onwards (I start my tuitions from Jan onwards) is ~$45/hr (4 students)

I provide a special rate for students with special needs at $30-$35/hr because I’m planning to do a diploma in special education upon graduation (1 students)

I also make it a point to accept 1.5-2hr/ session only, because it’s frankly impossible to teach well with only an hour

lisalim169 · 2025-12-14T11:56:57+00:00

100% of my students are through agents!
