Shared tuition: start or join a group

The KiddoSG app is launching soon. This guide shows how it will work.

Shared tuition lets 2 to 4 children share one tutor and split the fee. It works for every subject at every level, from K1 phonics to JC H2 Maths. Children in a group take the same subject at the same level (e.g. Sec 3 Chemistry G3). Your child learns with friends, you pay less, and the tutor still earns a fair hourly rate.

Example: one-to-one P5 Maths at S$50/hour. In a group of 3, each family might pay about S$25/hour, and the tutor earns S$75/hour. Actual rates are set by the tutor.

Join an open group (free)

1. Go to Groups. You'll see open groups near you, e.g. "P5 Maths · Buangkok · Sat 2pm · 2 of 4 spots filled".
2. Tap a group to see the level, schedule, venue type and estimated price per child.
3. Tap Request to join. The host parent approves or declines.
4. Once you're in, you can see the group chat and the exact venue.

Start your own group (free)

1. Tap Start a group.
2. Choose the subject, level, day and time, group size (2–4) and venue: your home, rotating homes, a library or community centre, or online.
3. Approve parents who ask to join.
4. When the group is ready, it's posted to tutors. They apply with a group rate per child.
5. Compare applicants together in the group chat and agree on one tutor.

Good group rules

• Agree on the schedule, venue and what happens if a child is absent before the first lesson.
• If a family leaves, the spot is advertised again automatically, and the app shows how the price per child changes.
• Children's names and schools are never shown to other parents before they join the group.
