Getting started as a tutor
The KiddoSG app is launching soon. This guide shows how it will work.

KiddoSG connects you with families of MOE school students, from P1 to JC. No agency commission: you keep 100% of your tuition fees.
1. Sign up
- Tap I'm a tutor and enter your mobile number and the 6-digit code.
- Confirm your Singapore mobile number (+65) with the 6-digit code. This earns the Phone verified badge. Email is optional. We never ask for your NRIC.
- Create your username (for example DanielMaths). Parents see this name.
Already a parent on KiddoSG? Don't make a second account. Open Settings → Add a teaching profile. Your tutor profile gets its own username, chats, settings and payouts, shown in purple so you always know which side you're on. Your family's details are never shown on it.
2. Verify your qualifications (recommended)
- Singapore results and certificates (A-Level, poly, university): upload the OpenCerts file (we confirm it automatically), or upload a scan for our team to check.
- Ex-MOE or current MOE teacher: upload proof for review.
Current MOE teachers: MOE requires approval from your school before you give paid private tuition. Please make sure you have it.
3. Set up your profile
- Subjects and levels you teach (e.g. P3–P6 Maths, Sec 3–4 Chemistry at G3, H2 Chemistry).
- Areas you travel to (MRT or towns) and whether you teach online.
- Rate per hour for one-to-one and, if you like, a group rate per student.
- Your availability, and a short intro (a 30-second video helps a lot).
See How to write a profile that gets chosen.
4. Requests and seats
Parents check your free slots and send a request. You confirm it (or say no) within the reply time you choose, and the parent pays only after you confirm. Set a student limit for group classes, so you're never over-booked.
5. Get found
- Share your own QR code (Settings → My QR codes) on posters or in your chats with families.
- Set promotions, such as a free first lesson or "invite a friend: 10% off for both".
- With a 4.0★ rating and more than 10 reviews, you can bid for a home-page banner.
6. Start applying
Open Jobs to see requests that match your subjects, levels and areas. The free plan includes 5 applications a month. Tutor Pro gives unlimited applications and instant alerts. See Free vs Tutor Pro.
