Parents remain responsible for deciding whether a tutor and lesson arrangement are suitable for their child. This checklist explains sensible verification and safeguarding steps before and during home or online tuition.
For home tuition, use an appropriate shared or observable study space where practical. A parent or responsible adult should know when lessons start and end. For online tuition, use a family-approved platform and account, and avoid sharing unnecessary personal information.
Ask the student whether explanations are clear, whether they feel comfortable asking questions and whether agreed lesson activities are taking place. Review work completed and ask the tutor for concise progress feedback. Declining wellbeing, repeated cancellations, unexplained changes to arrangements or pressure to hide communication are warning signs.
Prioritise the student’s immediate safety. End or pause the lesson if necessary, retain relevant messages or records, and contact Tuition2u about the matching arrangement. For emergencies or suspected criminal conduct, contact the appropriate Singapore authorities.
No. Parents should review the information that matters to their decision and ask for supporting evidence where appropriate.
No tutor or agency can responsibly guarantee a particular grade. Progress depends on the starting point, lesson fit, attendance, practice and other factors.
Compare common tutor categories, review the matching process, or request a tutor.
Use evidence and specific questions rather than relying on broad labels. Mark each item after reviewing the profile or speaking with the tutor.
| Check | Evidence or question | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Identity and contact details | What information has been verified before lessons begin? | ☐ Clear ☐ Follow up |
| Relevant subject and level | What recent experience relates to this syllabus and student need? | ☐ Clear ☐ Follow up |
