Job Description

We are looking for part-time Primary Math tutors to teach small-group classes for Primary 1 to Primary 6 students, in person at our Bukit Timah Plaza centre.

You will:

• Guide students through concept-based lessons rather than rote procedure
• Support each student at their own pace
• Encourage mathematical reasoning and independent problem-solving
• Help students build confidence, especially those who are anxious, discouraged, or stuck
• Use mistakes as teaching moments, and ask good questions rather than jumping to answers

Requirements

You would be a strong fit if you are:

• MOE-qualified educator
• Genuine interest in helping children develop deep understanding of Math, not just complete worksheets
• Warm, patient, and thoughtful teaching style
• Comfortable breaking down abstract concepts into concrete, visual, relatable examples
• Available at least one weekday afternoon and/or Saturday per week

---

What We Offer

• High flexibility on the levels, timings, and number of lessons you teach (ie. you choose your own levels, timing and load)
• Small-group format (not large classes)
• Supportive, mission-aligned team environment
• Class duration: 1 hour 45 minutes
• Schedule: Weekday afternoons and/or Saturdays, depending on class needs.
• Salary: Pay based on experience and level taught
