Register yourself at tuition websites . Remember to include your photo & scanned certificates. Photo softcopy you can get from relevant photo shop. To get softcopy of your certificates, you can get from Yunan (a Jurong West Stationary shop, Blk 442 Jurong West Ave 1), just bring a USB thumbdrive..
You must get tuition close to you. So that you save your transport charges. And you will be more energetic when reaching tuition house. Moreover, when closer, means shorter travelling time, means you can cramp in as many tuitions as possible for a period of time. The distance should not be more than 3 mrt stations from where you live. This will restrict the taxi fare to below S$10 per trip..
It is S$20 ph (per hour) for primary, S$25 ph for lower secondary, S$30 ph for upper secondary, S$35 ph for JC1 & S$40 ph for JC2. For ex-teacher, the rate shoots up to S$35-45 ph for primary.
Please note when agency introduces you tuition assignments, they will collect 50% fee of the first month..
You need to come up with a timetable to plan your time slot. Leave 1 hour each for lunch & dinner, leave 0.5 hour for transport from one place to another, the rest planned time slot of 1.5-2 hrs each. Then tell students the assigned time slots..
Then you need a big notebook. Each page write down the name of student, his mobile, house phone, fee rates, time slots. After each assignment, write down date & time period. This is for calculating the tuition fees.
Be careful not to be banned by tuition agents or tuition agents websites. If you stop your tuition half way or rejected by the parents, the tuition agents or tuition agents website will not give you future assignments. So you must choose your tuition assignments careful.
