How to write a tutor profile that gets chosen
The KiddoSG app is launching soon. This guide shows how it will work.

Parents decide quickly. A clear, honest profile wins more students than a long list of claims.
The 6 things parents look at first
- Photo: clear, friendly, plain background.
- Badges: Phone verified and Qualifications checked. Get them both; they're free.
- Levels and subjects: be precise (e.g. "Sec 1–4 Maths, G2 and G3; Sec 3–4 A-Math").
- Rate: in line with your experience. The app shows the typical range.
- Reviews: ask your first families to leave one after a few lessons.
- Intro: 3–5 short sentences.
A good intro (example)
I'm a full-time Maths tutor with 6 years' experience teaching P4–P6 students. I break problem sums into small steps and use bar models, so students can solve them on their own. I give a short weekly practice set and a monthly progress note for parents. I teach in Sengkang, Punggol and online.
Do
- Describe how you teach, not only your grades.
- Mention that you know the current syllabus and the new SEC format from 2027 (for secondary).
- Keep your availability up to date, so you only get requests you can accept.
Don't
- Promise grades ("guaranteed A1"). It's against our listing rules and goes against advertising guidance.
- Use fear-based messages about exams.
- Put your phone number or social media handles in your profile. Contact details are shared automatically once a parent accepts you.
- Use other students' names, photos or results without written permission.
Required profile sections (all tutors): teaching summary (up to 300 characters), experience, education and how you teach. Each line shows Checked when we have seen proof, or Self-declared. Complete them to apply for jobs and appear in search.
