All About Market Rates of Private Tutors

sec 2 is around $25/hr ~ $30/hr… (common rate)


but then… if the person paying feels it’s ok… then it’s reasonable lor… if they feel $200/hr is comfortable for them, who is to judge that it is unreasonable… willing buyer willing seller.

As shown on their websites, the two famous Sunday Times newspapers tutors,


Physics tutor, Mr Phang, http://www.physics.com.sg , charges $90 per hour for his group JC 2 Physics tuition.

Economics tutor, Mr Anthony Fok, http://www.jceconomics.com, charges $50 per hour for his group JC 2 Economics tuition.

Group tuition can go so sky high?!?!?! Government should step in to control and regulate tuition prices... just like doctors in clinics...

If parents don’t feed the ridiculous pricing, providers would not be asking for ridiculous pricing…

I would like to know the market rate for higher Chinese tuition for sec 2 student. Recently a tutor quote me $50 / hr (min 2 hrs per session) and I think it's very reasonable but my friends all think its expensive.

I think it is expensive. I would think that $35-$40 is the norm.

I remember reading about the Physics tutor. He earns more than half a million in a year.

It's 1 - 1 and tutor will come to my place. I heard primary rate is already like $40/hr so I thought it's ok. I really have no idea of secondary tuition rate that's why I am asking here.

Sometimes the tutor or agency will evaluate the address of the client…


If it’s landed property… of coz chop lah…

I would think that this is reasonable rate. Taking into consideration that tuition centres charges from $45 - $60 for an hour for a class size. I do hear of home tutors charging $100 per hour for 1 to 1 for lower sec. And students have to travel to their home - which I find is not reasonable.

Then again it really depends on how good the tutor is.

Thanks for your info. The tutor is an experienced old lady and she’s v good in compo. DS definitely needs help on Chin. This year, I put him into one of the tuition centre. I asked him what did he learn and he replied ‘revision lor’. Plus there are some noisy/hyper students in class that makes the teacher difficult to teach. Well, I will try out the tutor and I hope she can stretch him a bit more. Eventually I hope he can rely on himself.
