Is online tuition better than home tutoring?
- Convenience: Flexible scheduling as both parties can log in anytime. Use the time saved to rest more or prepare for the lesson etc.
- Safety: It’s definitely safer since there is no physical contact so no chance of contacting the virus
- Cheaper: The hourly rate of online tuition is usually $5 to $10 cheaper than face-to-face tuition as the tutor need not travel. Rates start from $20 per hour
- Record Digital Lesson: Free softwares like Zoom, Google Meet and Webex have recording functions so you can replay the lesson for revision at any time.
There are some downsides of online tutoring:
- Technical glitches - Families who cannot afford good computers or fast wifi often encounter errors and system failure, software crashes etc
- Lack of human touch – Some students find it hard to connect or communicate with their tutors. It’s like talking to a robot.
- Distractions at home - Students who stay in small homes or have big families often disrupt the lessons with noise or calls for attention.

— a month ago 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 :)
— a month ago 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!!
— a month ago 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.
— 2 weeks ago 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.
