16 Best Tuition Centres in Singapore (November 2026)

Its results are recent and in the current PSLE format, which is rarer than it should be. For PSLE 2025 it says more than 60% of its students scored AL1 or AL2 in the subjects they took at TLL, and more than one in three finished with a PSLE Score of 6 or better. That's its own count, across students from over 150 schools. Classes are 10 at Primary 1, 12 from P2 to P6 and 13 at secondary. At JC it teaches General Paper, H2 Maths and JC1 Chemistry. Chinese isn't on its current programme list, so look elsewhere for that.

Price is the catch. For 2026-27 a weekday class costs S$575.52 a month per subject at P1 to P4, S$634.40 at P5 and P6, S$667.08 at secondary and S$701.96 at JC, with weekend slots about S$50 more. Those figures include GST. Add S$98.10 to register and a S$150 deposit per subject, and note that fees are billed by the term of 12 to 14 lessons. If your child needs one subject fixed rather than a whole programme, a smaller centre on this list will do it for half the money.

The track record is why it ranks this high. It says over 5,400 of its students scored a PSLE Score of 10 or lower between 2021 and 2025, and for PSLE 2025 two in three scored AL1 or AL2 in their Mind Stretcher subjects. At O-Level 2025 it reports 78% scoring an A in its subjects. Classes average 8 to 10 students, lessons are two hours once a week, and it has more than 25 centres, so there's usually one within a short drive. It teaches English, Maths, Science, Chinese, Higher Chinese and phonics, from pre-primary to Sec 4.

Two things to know. There's no free trial: a single trial lesson is S$70 plus GST, or a one-week unlimited trial costs S$107.91. And its long-running GEP preparation is changing, because MOE is ending the Gifted Education Programme in its current form from 2027; Mind Stretcher now runs High Ability classes instead. Teaching can vary by branch, so ask to sit in at the outlet you'd actually use. Fees include GST, registration is S$76.30, and a second subject is 10% off.

Its pitch is tutor quality. The centre says it shortlists one tutor out of every 30 it interviews and trains each one for months before they teach. On results, it says close to eight in ten of its students score an A for A-Level Physics and Maths each year. It doesn't date that figure, and the only dated result on its site is from the class of 2018, so ask for the latest cohort before you sign up. It has four centres, at Bishan, Paya Lebar (SingPost Centre), Novena (United Square) and Marymount, plus a cheaper online option through its EduTV platform, and it shows more than 3,000 reviews.

What it doesn't do is publish prices. Fees are given on WhatsApp, registration is S$109, and the centre has a firm no-free-trial, no-walk-in policy, so a trial means paying for one lesson. I'd like to see fees on the site for a centre this established. Get the monthly figure in writing and compare it with the JC fees in the table above before you commit.

Its EverLoop system loops back over the topics a child got wrong instead of pressing on with the syllabus, with extra practice on top of the weekly two-hour lesson. The centre says it has taught over 30,000 students, reports an 83.4% improvement rate (it doesn't give a year) and shows more than 3,200 reviews. Primary covers English, Maths, Science, Creative Writing and Chinese. Secondary is narrower than many parents assume: English, E-Math and A-Math only, and there's no JC.

Fees are monthly, not termly. The 2027 fee sheet for its Yishun centre runs from S$250.70 a month at P1 to S$316.10 at Sec 4, including GST, with a S$54.50 registration fee and one month's fees as a deposit. Other branches may differ by a few dollars. The trial is a good one: four lessons for S$129 at primary or S$149 at secondary, plus GST, with no deposit or registration until the fifth lesson.

For its 2024 A-Level batch, Zenith says 90.3% of students scored an A or B. It has grown fast since opening in 2019, to 14 centres and over 20,000 students, and now teaches P4 to P6 at some branches too. JC subjects are Economics, GP, Maths, Chemistry, Physics and Biology. One thing parents often miss: JC classes take up to 60 students, which is closer to a lecture than a tutorial. That suits a confident student who wants exam drills. It won't suit one who needs to be noticed.

Fees are clear and quoted before GST. JC is S$420 a month for one subject, S$760 for two and S$1,080 for three. Sec 1 and 2 is S$340 a month and Sec 3 to 5 is S$360, with S$80 a month off for two subjects. There's no registration or material fee, but the deposit is a month per subject (S$340 to S$400). Free trials run at every centre.

Teaching follows the MOE syllabus closely, with a lot of time on exam technique: the structured answers that marking schemes reward. Most lessons are 1.5 hours a week (some Sec 3 and 4 classes run two hours), and it covers English, Maths, Science, Chinese and the secondary sciences, up to H2 Maths and H2 Chemistry at JC. It has 17 branches, mostly in malls in the north-east, east and west. Its homepage says 99% of its PSLE students qualified for Posting Group 3, though it doesn't give a year.

The fee sheet for its Ang Mo Kio branch runs from S$196.20 a month at P1 to S$272.50 at P6 and S$348.80 for a two-hour Sec 4 class, including GST. Taking more subjects cuts the price by 10% to 22%. Mavis doesn't publish class sizes or its registration fee, and at this volume the teacher matters more than the brand. Book the free trial at the branch you'd use, and ask who teaches the class and how many students are in it.

It teaches Maths, English and Chinese, from age 3. The fee is S$170 a month per subject including GST, plus S$50 to register, and its store locator lists about 74 centres in Singapore (its FAQ says over 80), so there's one in almost every town. Kumon runs in 62 countries and regions, and the method has barely changed in decades, which is part of the appeal.

Where it falls short is the PSLE. A P5 who needs help with problem sums, science answering technique or composition won't get it here, because Kumon doesn't teach to the exam. I'd use it from K1 to about P3 to build calculation and reading speed, then move to a syllabus centre. If your child hates repetition, it won't last a term.

Its 3E Framework (Explore, Explain, Extend) sounds like marketing, but in practice it means students work through a concept, get the textbook explanation, then apply it to harder questions. It has seven centres, from Orchard and Bukit Timah to Tampines and Choa Chu Kang, plus online classes of up to 18. BlueTree has run since 2015 and says it has taught 25,000 students. English and creative writing aren't on its current programme list, so think of it as a Maths, Science and Chinese centre.

Fees for 2027 are per lesson, billed by the term of 10 to 13 lessons: S$75.21 for a weekday P1 to P3 lesson, S$92.65 at P4, and S$103.55 from P5 to Sec 4, including GST. That's about S$1,035 to S$1,346 a term at P5. Registration is S$54.50 and the deposit S$150. Its homepage still says four in five students scored "distinctions" at PSLE, which is pre-2021 wording, so ask for AL results by year. A two-week class pass costs S$75.

Small classes matter most in English, because composition and oral improve when a teacher reads your child's work closely every week. Lessons are two hours. It now has nine branches (Clementi, Bukit Timah, Novena, Hougang, Bukit Batok, Marine Parade, Tampines, Yio Chu Kang and Upper Thomson) plus Zoom classes, and it joined the Franchising and Licensing Association in 2026, so it's growing through franchising. That's worth knowing: ask who will teach your child's class and how long they've been with the centre.

It publishes its 2026 fees: S$103.55 per two-hour lesson at P1 and P2, rising to S$125.35 at Sec 3 and 4, including GST. That's S$414 to S$501 a month for four lessons, more than a general centre, but you're paying for a class of six. Registration is S$21.80, the deposit is four weeks of fees, and the first two-hour trial class is free. It doesn't publish results, which is the one gap.

It covers a wide spread: Nursery to Sec 5, with English, Maths, Science, Chinese and secondary humanities including POA, history and geography, plus AEIS preparation for children moving into local schools. Materials and exam papers are free, there's a free trial class, and online classes run from P3. EduFirst has been featured by The Straits Times and CNA. It doesn't publish current results, so judge it on the trial.

Its 2027 fees are before GST and fall as you add subjects. For the first subject it's S$200 a month at P1 and P2, S$220 at P3 and P4, S$240 at P5 and P6, S$300 at Sec 1 and 2, and S$320 at Sec 3 to 5, each for four 1.5-hour lessons. Every extra subject is S$10 less. Registration is S$50 and the deposit one month's fees.

Its English and GP department is led by a former Hwa Chong GP teacher who was also English level head at Temasek JC, with over 20 years of teaching. Beyond GP, Indigo teaches JC Economics, Maths, Chemistry and Physics, secondary and IP subjects, and primary English and Maths, across eight centres. It says 63.2% of its GP students scored a distinction, without giving the year. Private equity firm Tower Capital Asia has owned it since 2021, and Indigo has since bought Making Sense, Math Academia and Concept Math, so treat those as the same group if you're comparing.

Fees are mostly on enquiry. The one it publishes is secondary A-Math at S$468 a month, with a S$100 deposit and a registration fee of S$50 to S$75, before GST. Indigo doesn't list a WhatsApp number, so you'll be enquiring by phone or email. Ask for the GP fee, the class size for your child's slot and the latest A-Level results by year.

The teachers are the reason to look. Academia was founded in 2013 by Johann Loh, a Princeton philosophy graduate, and its GP and pre-university programme is run by Dr Neil Coomber, who has a PhD from Oxford and taught GP at Raffles Institution for five years. Some of its other teachers are NIE-trained, with MOE experience. It says more than half of its graduating P6 students have scored AL1 in English, though it doesn't say in which year.

It's one location, so the commute decides a lot. Fees are billed by the term of about 12 weeks and depend on level and class type, so you'll need to ask. Registration is S$115, and paying for the whole year by week six of Term 1 takes 8% off. Its regular Core classes are bigger than the Focus ones, so check which you're being quoted for.

Yvonne Chen taught Mathematics and Physics at RGS and has over 15 years of experience, and its other senior maths teacher taught at Hwa Chong for 17 years. The range is wide for a three-centre operation: PSLE English, Maths, Science and Chinese, secondary and IP, JC H2 sciences, Maths and GP, the IB Diploma and AEIS. Centres are at Bugis, Bukit Timah Shopping Centre and Braddell, with online classes too. It publishes a handful of named 2024 results rather than a percentage, and says plainly that it doesn't guarantee top grades. I find that more believable than a big number.

Fees are S$440 a month at PSLE level, S$528 at secondary and IP, and S$616 at A-Level and IB, each for four two-hour lessons. Pay by the 13-lesson term and one lesson is free. Registration is S$20, the deposit S$150, materials are included, and siblings get 10% off. The site doesn't say whether GST is added, so ask.

It has three centres, at Toa Payoh, Our Tampines Hub and Woodlands MRT, and two online formats: live-streamed classes and video on demand for revision. Its homepage gives distinction rates of 85% for O-Level Chemistry and 80% for O-Level Biology, and an 80% A or B rate for A-Level Chemistry, none of them dated. Its chemistry team is named on the site, with tutors trained at NTU and NIE and one with a physics master's from Osaka.

It publishes some fees: O-Level Chemistry is S$320 a month and JC Chemistry S$400, and Physics starts from S$320. Primary fees, registration and GST aren't stated, and the trial lesson is paid. Its homepage wouldn't load in my screenshot tool, so there's no preview here, but the site is live.

Geniebook started in 2017 and opened its CAMPUS centres in 2024. There are six, at United Square, Century Square, Junction 8, Parkway Parade, Sembawang Shopping Centre and Serene Centre, with Bukit V opening next. Teachers are MOE or NIE-trained, and the platform behind the classes holds about 300,000 questions. It says one in two of its students achieves AL1 or AL2 at PSLE, a figure for Geniebook as a whole rather than CAMPUS, and without a year.

Two cautions. CAMPUS fees aren't published, so you get a price only after requesting a trial. And its own pages disagree on levels: the programme page says P1 to P6, while some centre pages offer secondary subjects too, so primary is the safe assumption. If your child learns fine at home, Geniebook's online classes start from S$372.50 a month per subject including GST, billed yearly.

He holds a master's in Economics from NUS, and the centre says over 75% of his students score a distinction nearly every year, without giving years. Classes are in Bishan, a short walk from Bishan MRT, and online, with separate JC1 and JC2 slots. Because one person teaches every class, places are limited, so enquire early in JC1.

Fees aren't published, and neither are class sizes. Ask for both, and ask whether online students get the same notes and essay marking as those in the room. If you'd rather have Economics alongside other JC subjects under one roof, Zenith and Indigo both teach it.
