Sharing your tuition experience so it helps others
The KiddoSG app is launching soon. This guide shows how it will work.

Choosing tuition is easier when you hear from parents who've tried it. Parents' Corner has a Tuition experience post made for this. It's short, structured and easy to compare.
1. Start a tuition experience
- Go to Corner → Share your tuition experience, or choose Tuition experience when you tap Ask or share.
- You can post it on the Tuition and study habits board, or inside a community you've joined.
2. Fill in the simple fields
- Subject and level, for example "Science, P5".
- Kind of lessons: home tutor, tuition centre, online, or a shared group.
- Cost per lesson: pick a band (under S$30, S$30–50, S$50–80, S$80–120, over S$120).
- What worked: for example "small class of 8, weekly short tests, help with answer-writing".
- What didn't work (optional): for example "an hour online was too long at P3".
- Would you recommend this kind of lesson? Yes or no.
3. Tips for a helpful experience
- Be specific about what helped: the format, the pace, the homework, how progress was shown.
- Say what kind of child it suited, without naming them: "a child who needs time to warm up", "a fast learner who gets bored".
- Share the cost band honestly. It helps other families plan (see Budgeting for tuition).
- Keep it about the kind of lessons, not a person. Don't name a tutor or centre to criticise them. To review a real lesson, use Reviews on the tutor's or centre's profile. Reviews are linked to real lessons, so they're fair to everyone (see How to leave a helpful review).
4. What stays private
- No children's names, photos or school names. The privacy check removes school names, phone numbers and other personal details before posting.
- You appear as your username and town, or as "Anonymous parent" if you choose.
- Your mobile number is never shown.
5. Reading other parents' experiences
- Corner home shows the latest Tuition experiences.
- On the Tuition and study habits board, filter by Tuition experience.
- Mark This helped on replies, and Save the ones you want to keep.
Every family is different, so treat experiences as ideas, not promises. When you're ready, you can post a tuition request or share a tutor with other families.
