IGCSE tuition centers in Singapore

Post by edu_next » Fri, 17 Sep 2021 8:03 pm

Hi, we have recently moved here to Singapore and wanted help:

1. Can someone recommend IGCSE tuition centres to us? (preferably with Math and English)
2. It seems like most parents here prefer 1-to-1 tutoring? Is it better or because there are no good quality tuition centres?

Thanks,
Theresa

English tuition is not really a thing if you are on the A level track since english is not an a level subject. If you are looking for a good private math tutor, our daughter had an excellent experience with a tutor who teaches from Sixth avenue. I don’t want to seem like I’m promoting anything, so if you’re interested please PM me.

The problem with tuition centres here in Singapore is that they actually cater to the bigger market - the Singapore GCE "O" and "A" Levels exams (which is tougher and deeper in scope than the iGCSE). So it is not that there are no quality centres. It is that you have to be prepared for your kid to study something deeper in scope than what they are doing at an International School.

True, however there are quite a few tutors who also cover the iGCSE syllabus.

Personal, 1-1 tutors. I'm not too sure if there are CENTRES that actually does this. It is just more profitable to handle the Singapore GCE.

Nice! Must be a big one with numerous teachers! Or is this assumption of mine going to be shot down as well? Learning new things every day! I cannot help but think of the profit margin for the owner for such a centre. Or perhaps the reputation is already strongly there that he can attract enough IB and GCSE students to make money.
