- Do I have to pay for the registration?
No, it is free of charge.
- Upon confirmation of an assignment, do I have to pay CampusTutors for the service?
Yes. You will pay us 50% commission after the 2nd week of commencement of tuition, and pay the tutor the remaining 50% after the first one month of tutoring. For subsequent months, tutor will keep the full tuition fee. You can transfer the 50% of tutor's first month earning to our company's bank account via internet banking or automated teller machine (ATM), or simply send us a crossed cheque. This is our administration fee and is therefore non-negotiable.
- How long will I have to wait to get a tutor after doing the online registration?
Upon receiving your Online Registration, our coordinator will get back to you within 24 hours or less by email, sms, or call. It normally takes around 48 hours or less to shortlist a list of tutors for your selection.
- Will the information I provide be safe online?
Rest assured that our company has taken special measures to ensure the utmost confidentiality of all your personal contact information provided during the registration process. We are committed to protecting your privacy and will thus seek your approval before sending out your contact details.
- Can I choose my own tutor?
Yes, you can. Upon registering with us, you can specify your preferences for your choice of tutors. For example, some parents might prefer a female tutor for their own child or vice versa. Some may also state that the tutors be more fluent and familiar with a certain subject to teach their children.
In any case, we would be gladly take note of your requests and try our best to match the perfect tutor for you.
- Do we get to decide on the frequency and time of lesson?
Yes, this is entirely up to your decision. Please state the timing of lessons preferred (e.g. weekend/ weekdays; night/ morning) during registration and we will reflect this to our tutors upon contact in order to find tutor with the most suitable schedule to match your stated lesson times. Tuition fees will be worked out depending on frequency and duration of lesson times as well.
- How much do we need to pay?
How much you are willing to pay depends on you. When you give us your child’s particulars during the registration process, we would also like to know your budget.
You might think that since you are setting the price, you can try to bring it down as low as possible. Though this may be tempting, we urge you not to. A low price does not always equate to good value. We hope to point out that the tutors are earning a living too. Scrimping on their pay will discourage the tutors from putting in more effort during lessons and we are sure that this is not the desired scenario.
Therefore, the fact remains that if you would like a good tutor, one whom which tutors with passion, you cannot afford to scrimp on your child’s tuition fee. We do wish that you would offer a reasonable price and stick to your side of the bargain. If you are unsure of how reasonable is reasonable, we would be glad to offer you our honest advice on present market rates and what not.
- What are the current market rates for tuition fees?
| Level |
Undergrads/
Graduates |
NIE trained teachers |
Full Time |
| Kindergarten | $10-15 | $10-22 | $15-27 |
| Lower Primary | $12-20 | $12-30 | $17-35 |
| Upper Primary | $17-25 | $17-40 | $22-45 |
| Lower Secondary | $17-30 | $17-45 | $22-50 |
| Upper Secondary | $20-35 | $20-50 | $25-55 |
| A Level | $25-40 | $25-60 | $30-65 |
These rates are just an indicative range for your reference and may vary upon tutor’s standard (all of whom we can guarantee to be at least of undergraduate standard) as well as parent’s decision. In any case, do quote us your budget price during registration and we would try our best to find a tutor who is able to meet your budget.
- Can I request to change the tutor if I find that he/she is not suitable?
Yes, you can. If for any reason you are not satisfied with the tutor we recommended, you are allowed to request for a change. Fees for the lessons conducted have to be paid accordingly.
- How can we be sure that the tutor is not a fraud giving false information about his qualifications?
When a tutor registers with us, he or she would have to accept to our agency’s terms and conditions. One of which states that they are obliged to show you proof of their qualifications upon your requests. Failure to do so will provide a valid reason for you to reject their tuition services. Please inform us if such a case occurs, so that we can penalise and blacklist the specific tutor for the benefit of other parents or agencies in future.
Also, if you find it too awkward to ask for proof from them, just let us know and we would be glad to inform them on your behalf.
- Besides filling up the online form, are there any other ways for me to find a tutor through CampusTutors.com.sg?
Yes, you can call us at 97604771 or leave a sms to the mobile number. (Should there be times whereby we can’t answer your call, kindly leave us a voice mail and we will get back to you ASAP)
- Does your agency only supply undergraduate tutors?
No. Although we have a large pool of academically excellent undergraduates as tutors, you may
request for an University graduate or a current school teacher. However, rates for these tutors
will differ.
Naturally, our undergraduate tutors will eventually become graduate tutors once they complete their degree courses. From then onwards, they can decide whether to stay with us as our graduate tutors.
- Do I have to pay for the registration?
There are no charges incurred, but with every successful assignment, the student will pay us 50% commission after the 2nd week of commencement of tuition, and pay you the remaining 50% after the first one month of tutoring. For subsequent months, you will keep the full tuition fees. This is our administration fee and is therefore non-negotiable.
- This is difficult to understand. Can we have an illustrative example?
For example, if the tuition fees as decided upon by the parent is $25/hr for 2 hrs per week. Then in one month, the total fees will amount to $200. Since our policy states that 50% of your first month tuition fees will have to be transacted to us, therefore the student will transfer $100 to our agency.
This only applies for the first month of any tuition assignment handed to you by our agency, after which, any change in frequency of lessons or tuition fees will be solely between you and the parent.
- What are the benefits to register as a tutor with your agency?
Once you have registered with us your profile will be posted in our database. Hence upon receiving tuition assignments from parents and clients that apply with us, we will then search through our database for the most suitable match. From there, we might shortlist you as tutors for a certain tuition job.
- Will I be guaranteed a teaching assignment when I register?
As mentioned previously, searching for the perfect match for our tutoring assignments will be purely based on the information you have submitted to us. Hence immediate tutoring job offers are not guaranteed as the process of finding the best match for both our tutors and students takes time.
However, as long as your name and details stay in our database, we will contact you as soon as we find a suitable candidate.
- Why do I need an University email address to register as a tutor?
Our tuition agency only takes in tutors who are studying in one of the top five local Universities namely, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore Management University (SMU), National Institute of Education (NIE) and Singapore Institute of Management (SIM).

By default, lessons will be held at the student’s home of residence.
- Can I reject a job offer?
Decision to take up a tuition job depends entirely on you. Upon contact from the coordinator, details such as location, days, timings and frequency of lessons, subjects to be taught and amount of pay will be reflected to you. Please base your decision on the above details and upon deciding, contact our coordinator with your reply as soon as possible. Think properly before applying so as to facilitate efficient business dealings.
- I have registered with your agency for a very long time. Why have I not been given any assignment?
We hope to point out the fact that in today’s tuition market, the supply of tutors will always be bigger than the supply of students. Therefore, we might need some time before we can find you a suitable assignment.
We can assure you that as long as your name remains in our database, we will contact you as soon as there is a suitable match.
And as for those who have set a stringent criteria for their students, it is without a doubt that finding a perfect match would be a tougher task and hence you most probably would have to wait for a longer period of time. We urge you to be patient and we will contact you as soon as we find someone who fits the bill.
- Do I only register with your agency when I am free to teach?
No. As long as you have the interest to be a tutor then please go ahead and register with our agency. Assignments are not confirmed until you have given us consent to carry on with them. Otherwise, choice to take up an assignment can be decided based upon your availability and other time commitments. Please do try to ensure your timetable allows for you to take up the tutoring assignments granted to you, this is to avoid other complications in future (
e.g. cancellation of lessons, etc.)
