There are different types of tutors, from MOE & NIE-Trained teachers to Part-Time tutors. MOE & NIE-Trained teachers are well-trained, qualified, and more than capable to teach the subjects they were trained in. Full-time and Part-time tutors are often well-versed in the subject, tutor other students in the subject at similar levels, and have also scored well in the subject when they were in school, demonstrating their ability to understand the concepts and answer accurately. Look at the tutors’ profiles and assess if the qualifications and teaching experience they have described reflect their skills to teach JC Math tuition, and are in line with what you are looking for.

MOE updates its syllabus for each subject every few years. Hence, it is important to ensure that your JC Maths Tutor is familiar with the most recent syllabus.

Math is a subject where heavy practice is effective in ensuring one understands concepts.
