About Us
Our Story
TutorBuddy has over 20 years of combined experience tutoring students aged 9 to 13 in English. The online tutorial platform was established to offer English enrichment classes that complement a child’s learning in school and at the convenience of the home.
We offer online classes starting at Primary 3. Every enrolled child receives a course book with ten lesson plans each semester term. Each child is guided by a dedicated class tutor in our online classroom.
We adopt a combination of teaching styles that best suit each child’s learning needs. The child learns by participating in class, attempting and answering questions as the tutor walks through the lesson plan in class.
We empower young children to learn using any digital devices and enable easy access to our online classes wherever they are.
With each class size of 6 students, our small class size approach fosters the exchange of knowledge among students and encourages the use of language as the child participates in reading, answering questions, and discussing ideas in class.
Our online face-to-face engagement allows tutors to respond to students instantaneously. This helps the child gain knowledge and confidence in learning English. In addition, tips and exam techniques are taught to help the child excel in the English subject.
Teaching Model
Online classes are simulated close to classroom learning in school, drawing familiarity with their learning environment while learning at the convenience and comfort of their homes.
We adopt a structured teaching approach with a well-designed lesson plan on specific themes while allowing our class tutors to combine visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic teaching styles based on the child’s intuitive learning nature other than reading and writing.
At the end of each class, the class tutor gives out supplementary notes and assignments to reinforce what students have learned. Submissions of works are sent to TutorBuddy for tutors to mark and discuss corrections in class.
A small class size allows the tutor to offer attention and observe students’ learning pace individually. At the end of each semester term, the class tutor provides parents a Progress Report regarding child’s learning progress and disposition. The class tutor also conducts a Parent-Tutor Meeting (PTM) for one-to-one dialogue with parents at least once in an academic year.
Our Curriculum
Every Lesson Plan is carefully tailored to ensure the breadth and depth of the language is well covered. Each lesson plan is completed in class and it includes practice questions in the following sections that our dedicated class tutor teaches.
- Grammar
- Vocabulary
- Clozes & Editing
- Synthesis and Transformation
- Comprehension
- Writing
Our Tutors
Our class tutors are English teachers with working experience in the Ministry of Education in Singapore (MOE).
With more than 20 years of combined experience in English tutoring, our tutors are committed to delivering quality English curriculum. They are dedicated to helping students achieve their academics while sustaining their learning interest in the language.
Learning Environment
Our classes are conducted online by dedicated class tutors that will see the child through the semester term. We promote participation and engagement between class tutor and students through video conference. In every class, the class tutor will assign time for individual practices and short group discussions. Class tutors will engage and encourage dialogues for clarifications. Every child has the opportunity to present and share as they learn together.
