Carefully selected, Singapore-based tutors who are ID-verified and have signed a declaration. They help with homework, weighted assessments and end-of-year exams, and with the jump from primary school.
Yes. Strong Sec 1 and 2 foundations make upper secondary easier. Tutors help students lift results, build study habits and develop exam strategy, ready for subject choices in Sec 3 and, later, the SEC.

How Sec 1 and 2 are assessed, the dates that matter and the choices that lead to Sec 3.
How Sec 1 and 2 are assessed
There is no national exam in Sec 1 or Sec 2. Results come from weighted assessments set by the school during the year and an end-of-year exam in Term 4, and each school sets its own weightings. MOE removed mid-year exams at every secondary level by 2023, so the class tests during the year carry real weight.
Under Full Subject-Based Banding, English, Mother Tongue, Mathematics, Science and the Humanities are taken at G1, G2 or G3. The starting level follows your child’s Posting Group, and a strong PSLE result in a subject can let them take it at a more demanding level from Sec 1.
- G3
- The most demanding level, closest to the old Express
- G2
- Closest to the old Normal (Academic)
- G1
- Closest to the old Normal (Technical)
Key dates in Sec 1 and 2
Secondary schools follow the MOE calendar: four terms from early January to November, with a June holiday. Most schools spread weighted assessments across Terms 1 to 3 and hold end-of-year exams in Term 4. Exact dates differ by school, so check the assessment plan your school sends home.
- Term 1
- Sec 1 orientation, then the first weighted assessments
- June holidays
- A good time to close gaps from Terms 1 and 2
- Term 4
- End-of-year exams, usually in October
- End of Sec 2
- Sec 3 subject combinations are allocated
Moving up a level and Sec 3
Schools review subject levels as the year goes on. A student doing well in a subject at G2 can move to G3, which keeps more Sec 3 options open. Sec 3 subject combinations are allocated on Sec 2 results, so the Sec 2 end-of-year exam carries extra weight.
What to weigh: Additional Mathematics and pure sciences usually need strong G3 Mathematics and Science results, and they are the common route to H2 Mathematics and sciences in JC. Interest matters too. A combination your child enjoys is easier to sustain through Sec 3 and Sec 4.
When to start, and a steady rhythm
The best window is early Sec 1, before algebra and the faster pace build on each other. Many students who did well in P6 Mathematics find algebra a new kind of thinking. If Sec 1 went well, starting in Sec 2 still leaves a full year before Sec 3 subject choices are made.
Before each weighted assessment, a useful rhythm works backwards. Two weeks out, list the topics tested. One week out, do mixed practice under time. In the final days, redo every mistake. Across the year, a short weekly review of past topics beats cramming before the end-of-year exam.
- Two weeks out
- List every topic the assessment covers
- One week out
- Mixed questions under time
- Final days
- Redo each mistake until it is right
How Tutero works
Your child keeps the same tutor every week, and lessons start from their own school work: the topic in class, the next weighted assessment or gaps left from primary school. Tutors teach at the G1, G2 or G3 level your child takes in each subject.
- Price
- From S$65 an hour, or from S$75 for a qualified teacher
- Tutors
- Singapore-based, ID-verified and signed a declaration

What Lower Secondary students work on at each stage, and how a tutor helps.
Starting Sec 1
Under Full Subject-Based Banding, students take each subject at G1, G2 or G3, guided by their PSLE results. Form classes mix students from different Posting Groups.
Starting Sec 1
- G1, G2 and G3 levels
- More subjects
- Weighted assessments
- Study habits
Worked example
Simplify 3(2x − 5) − 4x.
Answer2x − 15
How a tutor helps
Helps your child settle into the faster pace and build habits for weekly assessments.
Based on the MOE Full Subject-Based Banding (2024).
Mathematics
Mathematics moves from integers and algebra in Sec 1 to expanding, factorising and linear graphs in Sec 2. G1 and G2 cover similar strands at a gentler pace.
Mathematics
- Algebraic expressions
- Linear equations
- Expanding and factorising
- Linear graphs
Worked example
Solve 5x − 7 = 2x + 8.
Answerx = 5
How a tutor helps
Shows every line of working, so marks come from method as well as the final answer.
Based on the MOE Secondary Mathematics Syllabuses (2020).
Science
Lower Secondary Science covers matter, energy, cells and systems, with practical skills built in class. It leads into pure or combined sciences in Sec 3.
Science
- Particles and matter
- Cells and systems
- Energy and forces
- Practical skills
Worked example
A block has a mass of 240 g and a volume of 30 cm3. What is its density?
Answer8 g/cm3
How a tutor helps
Links each topic to real examples, so ideas stick beyond the test.
Based on the MOE Lower Secondary Science Syllabus.
English
English moves from primary composition to argumentative and expository writing, plus closer reading of non-fiction texts.
English
- Argumentative writing
- Comprehension
- Visual texts
- Oral communication
Sample essay opener
Phones in school are not the problem; how they are used is. With clear rules, a phone can be a calculator, a dictionary and a timetable in one.
How a tutor helps
Plans essays with your child before they write, so structure becomes a habit.
Based on the MOE English Language Syllabus (2020).
Humanities
History, Geography and Literature ask students to explain, compare and use sources in structured paragraphs.
Humanities
- Source-based questions
- Explaining causes
- Close reading
- Structured paragraphs
Sample PEEL paragraph
One reason is that cities have large areas of concrete. Rain cannot soak into the ground, so it runs straight into drains, which can overflow in heavy storms.
How a tutor helps
Teaches a simple paragraph structure that works across every humanities subject.
Based on the MOE Lower Secondary Geography and History Syllabuses.
Sec 2 and Sec 3 choices
Students who do well can take a subject at a more demanding level. Sec 2 results also shape Sec 3 combinations, such as Additional Mathematics or pure sciences.
Sec 2 and Sec 3 choices
- Moving up a level
- Pythagoras' theorem
- Sec 3 subject choices
- Getting ready for the SEC
Worked example
A right-angled triangle has shorter sides of 6 cm and 8 cm. Find the longest side.
Answer10 cm
How a tutor helps
Builds the foundations Additional Mathematics and the sciences need, so Sec 3 choices stay open.
