What is the Integrated Programmes (IP)? Is it any different from the local O/A level syllabus?
While the GCE ‘O’ Levels serve as a valuable intermediate benchmark for the majority of our students, those who are clearly university-bound can benefit from engaging in broader learning experiences during their Secondary and JC years. The Integrated Programmes (IP) will provide an integrated secondary and JC education where secondary school students can proceed to JC without taking the GCE ‘O’ Level Examinations.
Schools offering IP will optimise the time freed up from preparing for the GCE ‘O’ Levels to stretch students and provide greater breadth in the academic and non-academic curriculum. However, these schools will continue to have school-based assessments to measure students’ progress.

1. Familiarity with O level to A level syllabus: Select from our amazing pool of qualified IP tuition teachers. Our IP home tutors are extremely familiar with the syllabus and exam questions for the 'through-train' programme.
2. Safety first: In a private tutoring space, your child will be less shy about asking questions as compared to in classroom environment where they fear being laughed at by their classmates.
3. Provide materials relevant to IP: Good IP tuition teachers share tips on how to explain difficult topics and provide relevant resources for IP topics as these are more difficult to find compared to O/A level materials.
4. Selecting the day and time: IP home tuition is more flexible than say, tuition centres or enrichment centres. IP school students are often busy with CCAs, performances, enrichment classes etc, thus finding time is often difficult.
5. Personalised lesson planning: A good IP tutor Singapore can identify weak areas and provide a customised lesson plan to handle tough application questions, something that cannot be done in a classroom or tuition centre.
6. Travelling: A home tutor travels to your home and brings the resources to you, therefore reducing time wasted in commuting and your child need not lug his books and materials around.

What Are The Differences Between IP vs O levels?
IP Students have to perform well in their GCE ‘A’ Level examinations so that they can advance to University. Otherwise, they will only be getting the PSLE certificate. In order to perform well in GCE ‘A’ Levels, students have to build a strong foundation by mastering the basic knowledge from Secondary school. Notably, if your child has any weaknesses in English, it is important to get IP English tuition to start building the foundation as it will affect other subjects later on. You may also want to get IP Math tuition or IP Science tuition at the same time, as the topics will get increasingly difficult as your child move through the years.
By engaging a IP private tutor, your child will be able to maintain a constant good performance track record so that he/she will not lag behind and will outperform his/her peers. The IP syllabus is tough and challenging.

Benson is very patient and answer promptly to every question being asked. Gave a few choices of tutors to choose that base on your requirement. Math Tutor has been with us for a month. So far so good! Will recommend Benson to anyone who needs to find a good tutor and service! 😊
I was looking for a Maths tutor in May this year for my daughter who was in Sec 2. She has been failing her Maths since Sec 1 and is really in need of help.
My preference is someone who stays in the same neighbourhood for ease of travel and of course, good in Maths.
Davis is quick to respond and recommended Ms Celine. Thank you Davis for connecting us. Ms Celine has done a great job with her teaching methods. My daughter scored an A2 for the final year exam which is a vast improvement. Ms Celine, you are a gem!
Here’s a review from the tutee for her tutor:
She went through all the chapters in the textbooks and taught me whatever concepts I did not understand. She also focused more on my weaker topics until she felt that I mastered them.
When she finished all the chapters and I had mastered them, we only did practice papers until exams came. She also provided extra tuition near the exam days. Overall, she has really helped me improved and she is not strict and working with her was fun :)
Tutor city a great platform to find the right tutor for your child as they help to provide the one that fits your child’s schedule and your budget. I truly appreciate benson’s quick responses to all the queries and arranging the right tutor for my son. Thank you Benson! You are doing a great job!!
I reached out to Tutor City for a tutor which has experience with teaching English to dyslexic kids. A few promising profiles of tutors were sent and I choose one. The outcome was a good one. The tutor was experienced and knew how to handle the challenges. Within a month I could see marked improvements in certain areas.
I am impressed with the snappy service and profiles sent over. And the eventual positive outcome of the tutor I choose for my kid.
Great support with the search for the tutors for A Level exams. Daughter enjoys her lessons and we started to see the results from the first week.
Ben is super patient and able to recommend tutors on a timely manner. My requirement is challenging at times and I have many changes, which is why I really appreciate his follow through. There are good tutors in the database and sometimes it is about taking the time to look. If anything unsure, just ask Ben!
