How much does math tuition cost in Singapore?

Maths tuition is priced by level and by how experienced the tutor is, not by subject. Primary maths runs $25 to $80 an hour, secondary $35 to $90 an hour, and JC $50 to $120 an hour for H1 and H2 Mathematics. Those are LionCity Tutors' own rates, reviewed July 2026, not an industry-wide benchmark.

How much does primary school tuition cost?

Primary tuition runs $25 to $80 an hour: undergraduate tutors are $25 - $40, full-time tutors $40 - $60 and MOE-trained teachers $60 - $80. The same band covers P1 through to PSLE year, and parents pay the tutor's fee with no agency fee on top. LionCity Tutors' own rates, reviewed July 2026.

What are typical secondary school tuition rates?

Secondary school tuition runs $35 to $90 an hour: undergraduate tutors are $35 - $50, full-time tutors $50 - $70 and MOE-trained teachers $70 - $90. O-Level and N-Level students sit in the same band — the tutor's experience and your location move the rate, not the exam. LionCity Tutors' own rates, reviewed July 2026.

JC and A-Level tutors charge $50 to $120 an hour: undergraduate tutors are $50 - $70, full-time tutors $70 - $90 and MOE-trained teachers $90 - $120.

The premium buys a tutor who knows the IB assessment structure and internal assessments rather than the national syllabus. LionCity Tutors' own rates, reviewed July 2026.

What do parents actually budget for tuition?

Across 254 assignments, most Singapore parents budget $30 to $45 an hour for primary tuition, $40 to $50 an hour for secondary and $45 to $65 an hour for JC. That sits in the lower half of what tutors here charge — the MOE-trained tier is a minority choice, not the norm.

LionCity Tutors' own assignments, 254 with a stated budget, reviewed August 2026. This is what parents asked to pay, not a national average.

A higher budget widens the pool of tutors willing to take the assignment and shortens the wait for a match.

A budget under the p10 figure above will typically take longer to fill, since fewer tutors are willing to take it on.

The published top end of the rate card reflects what the most experienced, MOE-trained tutors charge — not what a typical family pays.

Should I pay for an MOE-trained teacher or an undergraduate?

An undergraduate tutor is the cheaper, more relatable option — strong for building confidence and keeping pace with schoolwork. An MOE-trained teacher costs more but brings marking-scheme insight and can diagnose exactly why a grade is stuck. A full-time tutor sits between the two: consistent, but not curriculum-trained.

Hourly tuition rates by tutor type and level: undergraduate, full-time tutor and MOE-trained teacher
 UndergraduateFull-Time TutorMOE-Trained Teacher
Primary School$25 - $40$40 - $60$60 - $80
Secondary School$35 - $50$50 - $70$70 - $90
Junior College$50 - $70$70 - $90$90 - $120
Best forConfidence, relatability, keeping paceConsistency, exam drilling, long engagementsDiagnosing why a grade is stuck; marking-scheme insight

Most parents here budget below the MOE-trained tier, and that's a reasonable choice for a child who mainly needs consistent practice and pacing. The MOE-trained tier earns its premium when a grade has stalled and you need someone who can diagnose exactly why — not for a child who is already coping and just needs more reps.
