You always set your own rates on KiddoSG. Here's how to price fairly and stay competitive.
Typical hourly rates in Singapore (2026, agency rate tables)
| Level | Part-time | Full-time | Ex/current MOE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | S$25–40 | S$35–60 | S$50–90 |
| JC | S$45–70 | S$65–100 | S$90–150 |
Rates vary a lot by subject, experience and area. The app shows the typical range when you set your rate.
Things to consider
- Experience and results at that level.
- Travel time: you might charge a little more for far areas, or offer online.
- Preparation: H2 and G3 subjects usually need more preparation.
- Trial lesson: many tutors offer it at a lower rate, or free.
Group rates
Set a rate per student for groups. A common approach:
- 2 students: about 60–65% of your one-to-one rate each
- 3 students: about 50% each
- 4 students: about 40–45% each
Example: one-to-one at S$60/h → a group of 3 at S$30 each = S$90/h for you.
Be transparent
- Show your rate upfront. Parents dislike surprises.
- Agree on materials costs and cancellation rules in the chat.
- Review your rates once a year, and give families a month's notice of any change.
