Get Better Grades has helped students gain 5 to 30 marks in important exams.
You too can now experience the same success that they had achieved.
Get Better Grades was founded by a group of former MOE teachers and a university lecturer in 2012 because we were concerned about the quality of answers that students were giving for their exams and homework.
Many of these students had tutors either at home or in tuition centres, yet the accuracy of their answers were very worrying.
We therefore established Get Better Grades with the primary objective that because parents are investing their money and students are investing their time, that they should get the high quality of tutoring that is equitable to them.
Since 2012, we have carefully built up a large team of qualified tutors who each have between 2 to over 30+ years of successful experience in helping their students’ grades to improve.
Our tutors have university degrees (or are university undergraduates) in the subject that they teach.

Challenges faced by Biology students in Singapore
> Too much heavy and substantial content that must be memorized. You feel that the content would be easier to memorize if only you understood what is in the textbook, or if a credible teacher spends an exclusive 1.5 to 2 hours every week to explain the new concepts to you
> Being tested on content you have not learnt before, even though you had diligently studied stacks of Biology notes from school. It is quite common for students to find that his/her school did not teach certain aspects of a topic, and that this same topic was taught with much more breadth and depth at another school
> The answer scheme quality across schools varies as well. This means that the answers that earned an A in School T might be equivalent to only a B, if marked in School V. Students therefore get a rude shock once they take their Secondary Education Certificate (SEC) or A Level exams. Having a good set of answering techniques and exam skills can determine if you are able to pass, or score a distinction
> Exam marks are scored based on the key words or phrases that a student writes in the answer. A student who can perfectly explain a phenomenon but does not use the key words emphasized in the textbook or exam question will not be rewarded with good marks. You need to learn how to include the most important key words in your answers, so that you can score higher marks
> Biology is taught at an alarmingly fast speed in school, and you have difficulty in keeping up. And, Biology is a subject that requires understanding, analyzing, interpreting data, memorizing and practicing
> Efficient time management is crucial. You may be stronger in certain question types and weaker in other areas. For example, if you are intimidated by data interpretation questions, it might be better for you to first attempt other essay questions
> You need to reinforce your abilities for the data interpretation question or long structured questions
> Unnecessary loss of marks because of confusion over which Biological concepts to apply, when faced with complex exam or homework questions

How to choose the right Biology tuition teacher
- Our Biology tuition teachers range from MOE teachers to undergraduate & graduated tutors (Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD) majoring in Biology, Biomedical Engineering or Biochemical Engineering. Every tutor whose profile we will show you has a strong record of helping their students’ marks increase. They scored A’s for their own Biology exams, and can teach you useful exam tips and techniques so that you can achieve a quick boost to your grades
- To ensure the effectiveness of every Biology tuition session, Get Better Grades will recommend only tutors who have relevant degrees (Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD) in the subjects they teach. Each Biology tuition teacher must also have a track record of helping their students gain valuable marks during important exams
- The MOE changes the syllabus whenever there is a need to be current with industry/the economy’s needs, trends and developments
- These changes affect the Biology content – and importantly – the exam requirements, answer formats, and marking schemes
- It is crucial that the Biology tuition teacher is familiar with the most updated syllabus, and that what they teach does not contradict what is taught in your child’s school
- When providing recommendations of carefully-shortlisted Biology tuition teachers, Get Better Grades will list and describe the relevant teaching experience of our tutors to assure you of their abilities to help students at your level to progress academically, and to achieve higher grades
- Homework is given by school teachers so that their students can practice what was taught in school. It is important to be up to date in doing your homework, so that you can internalize the content. When you hand in your homework, you will find out from your school teacher if you managed to correctly understand what was taught in class. Knowing this helps tremendously when you are revising content for your school exams and for the national exams. Revision is not useful if you are learning and re-learning the wrong concepts that you think are right. Giving your teacher the wrong answers will not help you gain higher marks
- Get Better Grades’ Biology tuition teachers are experienced and have methodical knowledge of the exact skills and content that a student will need to excel in each of the chapters that you must master, in order to do well in your exams. Our Biology tutors are also able to create personalized learning schedules, so that their students are able to understand, absorb and retain new knowledge, more efficiently and within a short period of time
- The syllabus, content and examination practices differ for each level of education
- Many Biology students are frustrated with not being able to instinctively understand the content that is taught by their school teachers
- Our tutors are familiar with the newest MOE syllabus, and they have taught students at your academic level
- Get Better Grades accepts tutor applications only when the tuition teacher has a degree (or is in the process of obtaining a degree) in the subject that they teach. This is to ensure that the private tutor has the necessary knowledge and expertise to adequately teach the correct content as well as to help the student arrive at error-free answers when responding to important exam questions
- When providing recommendations of carefully-shortlisted Biology tuition teachers, Get Better Grades will describe the relevant teaching experience of our tutors to assure you of their abilities to help students at your level to progress academically, and achieve higher grades
- It is important that the Biology tuition teacher puts in the best effort when guiding and teaching you. A dedicated home tuition teacher will ask pertinent questions in order to know which areas you are struggling with. A committed private tutor is punctual and rarely would suggest that the lesson has to be re-scheduled. Competent tutors have scored A in Biology when they took their O and A Levels, and they would have at least a Bachelor’s in Biology. This means that their professional knowledge of Biology can help you achieve better grades, whether you are in secondary school or in junior college.
- When recommending Biology tuition teachers, Get Better Grades will facilitate communication between you and the tutor to ensure that both parties have a common understanding of expectations before confirming the tuition arrangements.
- It is often the best for you to continue with one good tutor if the Biology tuition teacher is capable of teaching you and has already built a connection with you. This will ensure that you can benefit the most from his/her lessons since the tutor will be more familiar with your weaknesses and strengths, and can work on them throughout the subsequent academic levels
- Our Biology tuition teachers have between 2 to 30+ years of experience in teaching students who are often from different schools. These Biology tutors have accumulated notes and past year papers that they can provide to you for additional practice. Some tutors also prepare mind maps, common questions and pitfalls in past year papers, as well as self-designed practices referenced from assessment books
- Get Better Grades will indicate in the tutor’s profiles if the Biology tuition teacher is able to provide materials and resources for the students, when we recommend between 4 to 10 qualified tutors to you
- Students each have different starting points as well as grade goals. Some students want to consistently score an A, and some students are aiming to get a C or a B for their national exams. Your Biology tuition teacher will evaluate your learning needs, and will suggest workbooks and practice sheets that are most suitable for you so that you can master content that will help you quickly achieve your grade targets
- The best Biology tuition teachers can identify their students’ root causes of learning challenges, within the first lessons. These Biology tutors are experienced in using relevant step by step methods to competently address these vulnerabilities. They will create a study roadmap to help you systematically learn difficult content within short periods of time
- We show tutor profiles only when they had received good feedback from parents and students. The quality of the Biology tuition teacher is very important to your academic success
- Get Better Grades removes from our database the details of tutors who did not receive positive comments
Importance of getting good Biology tuition
- Education in Singapore can be overwhelming and stressful, whether you are striving to maintain an A grade, or want to prevent the risk of having weaker grades.
- Just as hiring the right tutor can help you confidently achieve your grade objectives, engaging the wrong tutor can bring much misery when the student receives worse than expected grades at the school or national exams.
- Biology is an important subject that can help you build a strong foundation for undergraduate or graduate studies in Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Biochemistry, Environmental Science and Pharmaceutical Science.
- Science-related and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) undergraduate courses are highly competitive, and your good grades in Biology will give you a competitive edge and a head-start in understanding the important content, compared to your peers.
- By studying Biology, students learn to make more informed decisions about their own health and about significant biological issues such as genetically modified crops, the use of antibiotics, and the eradication of invasive species.
- Careers that require a strong knowledge of Biology include: Research Scientist, Pharmacologist, Biologist, Teacher, Ecologist, Nature Conservation Officer, Biotechnologist, Forensic Scientist, and Science Writer.
- If you are struggling when studying or revising for Biology, getting reliable Biology tuition can ensure that you understand all the concepts covered in the syllabus. An experienced Biology tuition teacher can provide his/her full attention to resolve your learning challenges – and will guide you to be able to apply the knowledge that you have learnt, when faced with difficult questions during important school and national exams.
Benefits of engaging a reliable Biology tuition teacher
Just when you have finished preparing for one quiz, there is another coming up in 2 weeks’ time. Every day, new homework assignments and projects are added to a never-ending to-do list.
You can keep up, but just barely. This is stressful, especially when you dread the day when you cannot finish your homework in time because you don’t have the answers to the questions that your teachers asked.
Worse, your classmates – who are in your class because you had previously been achieving similar grades to theirs – are able to get the right answers and score higher marks. Very discouraging.
Good Biology tuition teachers will give you 1 to 1 attention, so that you can ask them how to solve those difficult homework and exam problems.
Get Better Grades represents only qualified tuition teachers who already have a Bachelor’s, or are about to get one. Or they might have a Master’s or PhD in the subject that they are teaching you.
As they are experienced in teaching students in your academic level, they can easily and clearly explain to you what you need to know and do, so that you can urgently gain much higher marks.
Your Biology private tutors would also have materials to share with you – whether they are exam papers or homework assignments from other schools. Or, they would have good recommendations for you to buy workbooks that are most suitable for you to practice on, in order to gain mastery of the tricky concepts.
With Biology home tuition, you can get instant clarification in concepts that are difficult to understand.
You can also receive customised lesson plans tailored to suit your unique learning style and understanding of the different Biology topics, so that you may better absorb the content and understand the concepts.
Your Biology tuition teachers from Tutors Singapore are very familiar with the latest MOE syllabus and newest exam requirements. They have been teaching for between 2 to over 30 years and can identify the areas that you should focus on, according to your grade targets and pace of learning.
The current Biology syllabus can have content that is challenging for many students. Our Biology tuition teachers are experienced in teaching students at your academic level. They are familiar with the common misconceptions and the dangerous mistakes made by Biology students.
Double-checking your answers is useful only if you know how to create and put together the answers that the MOE really wants you to give.
Learn how to accurately analyze the questions, so that you can arrive at the answers that give you maximum marks.
Professional Biology tutors are able to show you how Biology concepts are applied when answering tricky exam questions.
You lost interest and became frustrated only because much of the syllabus did not make sense.
Once there is clarity and you are able to perform the simple and then the advanced tasks, your sense of achievement will lead you to better grades and even stronger mastery of Biology.
Students can be overwhelmed with having to maintain a healthy and balanced personal and academic life.
While it is beneficial to spend time developing leadership and team-building skills during co-curricular activities as well as having a good social life after school hours, this would also mean that students may have limited time to study.
Hiring a competent and professional Biology tuition teacher can help them to efficiently make use of their time when studying, so that they can holistically do even better in both their personal and academic lives.
Many Biology students fear speaking up and asking questions during lessons because they worry about being laughed at in class.
Biology 1 to 1 home tuition teachers will help students to have a better understanding of their lessons in school. Their home tuition teacher will patiently and clearly explain the difficult concepts to them.
Effective Biology tuition gives them the confidence of answering tricky questions when faced with unexpectedly challenging problems during school and national exams.
Our qualified Biology tuition teachers are experienced, and have thorough understanding of the common problems faced by Biology students.
They will be able to deconstruct complex Biology topics into simpler concepts, and customize learning materials to improve students’ understanding of these topics.
Increase your ability to give the RIGHT answers that your school exams and national exams require of you.
Engage the most competent and reliable Biology tuition teachers, to help you succeed.
