Singapore home-tuition agency matching students to vetted tutors with no student fees.
Tutor City is a Singapore home-tuition matching agency founded in 2010. Unlike a self-serve marketplace, it operates as a managed agency that hand-matches students with tutors based on a submitted learning brief.
Customers describe their needs and the agency broadcasts the request to its tutor network, returning tutor profiles typically within 24 hours around a structured lesson roadmap. Subjects span primary through university academics, languages, music, computing, special-needs support, and exam-prep tracks including PSLE, O- and A-Level, IB, IGCSE, SAT, GRE, GMAT and IELTS, delivered in-person or online.
The service charges no agency fees to students, with tutor rates ranging roughly S$30-60/hour for part-timers up to S$50-150/hour for current or former schoolteachers. Tutor City reports more than 40,000 successful matches since 2010 and a 4.9-star average across 600+ reviews, suiting Singapore families who prefer a vetted, agency-managed match.
