The reality of tuition in Singapore

What every parent feels — and what we built instead.

Three patterns we kept hearing from Singapore families. Each one shaped what LearnBuddy does — and what it refuses to do.

Singapore family weighing the real cost of tuition over a year

Pain · Money & lost weekends

S$1.8B spent on tuition in 2023, up nearly 30% in five years.
"S$5,000 in a year, just for science. C to C+. I wasn't angry at the centre. I was angry at myself." Composite of parent accounts we’ve read — not a LearnBuddy customer
Our answer

From S$39 a month, any evening, any subject. No transport. No fixed slots. The weekend belongs to your family again.

Pain · The black-box tuition room

90 days between paying for tuition and finding out if it worked.
"Papa asks me to do so many assessment books — but he still hasn't marked them! Then I do for what???" Quoted from a Singapore parenting blog — not a LearnBuddy customer
Our answer

Live transcript while your child learns. Weekly AI progress reports. Math and Science marked from a photo. You can read every session, every day — not wait three months for a grade.

Pain · A class of twelve

1 of 12 is how many kids the tutor has to please at once.
"S$280 a month, twelve kids per class. After four months, her score stayed at 63. She couldn't ask without holding everyone back." Composite of parent accounts we’ve read — not a LearnBuddy customer
Our answer

Always one-on-one. The tutor waits as long as your child needs and never rushes. Speak, draw, ask the same question five different ways — no audience, no judgement, no schedule to keep.

Read: When AI Tutoring Backfires — The Metacognitive Laziness Problem
The question before every other question

“Is it actually safe to let an AI teach my child?”

It's the fair question, and a vague reassurance isn't an answer. So here is exactly what LearnBuddy does, what it refuses to do, and who holds the keys.

You see everything

The full transcript of every session

Every word your child says and every word the tutor says back is saved to your parent account. Not a summary you have to trust — the actual conversation, plus the topics covered and the weak spots it found.

It stays in its lane

One locked topic, and it can't end the lesson

The topic is fixed for the whole session. Off-topic chat gets one warm redirect, then nothing. The AI has no ability to end, extend or steer the session — only your child, the timer, or three minutes of silence can stop it.

You hold the keys

A child sandbox your PIN unlocks

Hand over the tablet and the app locks into child mode. Billing, profiles and data deletion are refused by the server itself while it's on — so getting around the interface doesn't help. Leaving needs your six-digit PIN.

And it is not an AI companion.

That distinction matters to us. A companion app is built to maximise the hours your child spends with it. LearnBuddy is built to run out: one topic, a capped session, an automatic stop after three minutes of silence, and deliberately no streaks, no XP and no badges — nothing that rewards a child for coming back more often. It's a subject tutor with a timer on it, not a friend.

Proof, not promises

We're new. So here are receipts, not reviews.

LearnBuddy is a young Singapore product. We don't have a wall of five-star parent quotes yet — so we're not going to print one. Here's the honest version instead: everything below is live on this site right now, free to open, no account and no email needed. Check us before you trust us with your child.

1,372 Past-year exam papers

Real papers from Singapore primary schools, sorted by level and subject — 52,063 questions inside, each worked through step by step.

Open the paper library 214 Interactive Sparks

Hand-built explainers your child can play with — fractions, photosynthesis, long division — each one a small interactive lesson, not a video.

Our review pledge. The day we have real parent reviews, they go here in the parent's own words, unedited — including the critical ones. Until then this space stays free of quotes. If you ever see a testimonial on this site, it came from a real family who agreed to be named. That's the whole policy.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Everything parents ask before their child's first session.

Is there really a free trial? Do I need a credit card?
Yes. Every family gets 15 minutes of live tutoring plus AskBuddy homework help free for 7 days — no credit card required. You only choose a plan when you're ready.
Which subjects and levels does LearnBuddy cover?
The complete Singapore MOE syllabus for Primary 1 to Primary 6, across the four core subjects — Math, Science, English and Chinese. Homework help, revision and PSLE prep all happen in one place.
How is this different from a human tuition teacher?
It's always one-on-one and available any time — late nights, weekends and school holidays. The tutor never rushes, lets your child ask the same question five different ways, and there's no travelling or scheduling. You also see exactly which topics your child is weak in.
Is it safe for my child to use on their own?
Yes. Child Mode gives your child a locked sandbox that only reaches learning features, and a 6-digit parent PIN is required to exit it or change any account settings. The tutor stays strictly on the school syllabus.
How much does it cost after the trial?
Plans start from S$39/month (SGD) and scale with how much live tutoring you need. You can top up an extra 30 minutes for S$9 anytime, and cancel whenever you like. Pick a plan only when you're ready.
Can more than one child use one account?
Yes. Our family plans let multiple children share one pool of tutoring minutes, so you're not paying separately for each child. Smaller plans cover one child.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — cancel any time, with no lock-in. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you've already paid for.
Will this actually help with PSLE preparation?
Yes. LearnBuddy covers the full P1–P6 MOE syllabus including everything tested at PSLE, with daily quizzes and free past-year exam papers. The parent dashboard and progress reports show you which topics still need work.
