- Day in the life of a private tutor in Singapore. This is what a typical day working as a private tutor looks like for my cousin, Ke Ling. Amidst Singapore's competitive education landscape, the rising number of tuition centers and private tutors comes as no surprise to many of us. Many students in Singapore are sent to private tuition in hopes of improving their results. Hope this video provides deeper insights to Singapore's education system and just how competitive education is in Singapore. Whether you're interested in becoming a teacher in Singapore, or just curious about the various occupations and jobs in Singapore, I hope that this video will play a part in fulfilling your curiosity somehow.

If you would like to be featured in my next "Day in the Life" video, do reach out to me. As always, thank you for supporting my channel and watching my videos. Creating this channel has changed my life and I hope that I can play a part in making a change in yours as well. Wishing all good health and may you win the lottery and become rich! Hahah :)
This channel is underrated. It is the best occupational insight content I've ever seen.
Thanks for your nice comment 🥰
I feel sad that such a passionate teacher is rejected by NIE solely due to the fact that she is a private degree holder. I know of people in the teaching line that are not actually passionate about teaching..so having that local degree is severely overrated.
Yea but ultimately a private degree holder had bad grades back in her schooling days. In asian context, it either meant you're not smart enough or not hardworking enough and that's very likely to continue to adulthood. Most government agencies would rather not take the risk, no matter the passion of the applicant.
@@yappy7788 that's very bold of you to say that it is "very likely" to continue to adulthood. have you not heard of late bloomers? so many things are often learned outside of school. exposure to different environment. growth leading to a change of mindset. maturity.. so many factors play a part.
@@yappy7788 that's not true. I do private degree cause the enrolment date for gov sch is really just dumb and inflexible😑
that the government job mind set, its been there until now, local U, first class lagi best , get promotion every year the path has been lay sui sui for you since day one. if you from those mickey mouse degree, just hope for the best la
I don’t think MOE doesn’t recognise foreign degrees so there is more to this than meets the eye.
Very interesting that the tutor is wearing shorts to teach students. Very friendly atmosphere. It’s very good to make them relaxed outside school.
It doesn't matter what he/she wears tbh. As long as it is not indecent or idk pjs, it is fine.
Enjoying how authentic and genuine these videos are!
Amazing. My mom is also a tutor for already 10 years now in Indonesia. She teaches until 7 PM and still going strong at almost 50 nowww. So somehow this hits me deeply 😅😅.
this channel has potential, hope u continue this down to earth style type videos
Another sick video, can't wait for the next one! Keep going, jiayou! 🥳
What a great video. As a full-time private tutor in NY, I can relate and I agree as well with the parent's observation :)

Hi, I'm not Singaporean but I enjoy your channel so much. I watched every Vlog and totally enjoy it!
Nice work !! Keep posting more and good luck !!!
I miss working in Singapore. Had I known I'd be interested in making videos, I would have taken short videos in all 8 years I spent working there; enjoying good foods in hawkers and visiting tourist spots among others. :) keep making videos!
Ke Ling's advices to parents are very insightfully! Well done Ke Ling!👍👍👍
Still waiting for your next video release!! Thanks for vocalising my inner thoughts 😌
Please continue this series!
Keep it up, good to see quality Singaporean content.
Super good content! Great work
Agree that elite schools tend to be toxic, especially on the JC level. I heard of tuition notes being stolen at another school, and my teacher told me not to share notes with students from other JC taking the same subject so that we can gain a competitive edge. P.S. I am not from the top 5 JCs (ranking for my yr)
Even in secondary schools, I have heard from my Teachers that students would sometimes steal notes
@twinklestar95
Toxic culture didn’t start in “elite” schools. It starts the moment there is a Normal Technical stream. It should be removed.
In my secondary school it's a neighbourhood one, people even steal textbooks? Sometimes people write info inside textbooks as well to study mah. So we are not allowed to put textbooks under our tables that kind. Have to bring home
@@NK08 those children didn't get beat by their parents, peers, friends, enemies and people in the general vicinity of enough for being an asshole
This was so informative and insightful! Thanks for being so transparent too!
This is a very enlightening video of life as a student in Singapore.
woo finally another episode! would love if you interview those niche niche jobs :P looking forward !
A very meaningful channel producing meaningful videos. PLEASE DO NOT STOP :(((
I've watched your all videos at once. They're so interesting.
This channel is a gem.
Would love to see more of these videos. ❤️
Hey this is a nice video, I enjoyed it :)
Good to see a passionate tutor.I have given up corporate jobs to be a tutor and have been tutoring for over 20 years and never regret my choice.So keep it up.😀
Nice channel and real life situations. Jiayou!
please make more videos these type of videos make me addicted!
Agreed that income can be unstable as freelancer full-time private tutor because I also give tuition. But this is still something good during pandemic times like now..seriously.
you should do more this kind of video, keep going
Great content.☺️👍
Very unique content. Keep going :)
I'm currently an Ex-Moe teacher turned private tutor. Trust me you are not losing out and is doing a great job. I wish I've done it sooner
Good to hear the life of some who does something similar but in a different industry!
I’m a musician and music teacher and it’s a joy to impart knowledge and see the light bulb in my students light up!
Great content. Keep it up the good work.
Thank you!!
The way she unlocked the door, it remind me of my grandmother who has got a old-fashioned safe-box chainup with big size lockers, but nothing valuable in it ...😂😂😂
Really good content! Keep it up!
Thank you!!
Omg Keling ! Know her from Ballet class many years back .
Interesting content and Vids! Keep it up!!! Jia Youss! SUBCRIBED!
This is a great video. I think if you check out Paolo in Japan's day in the life videos and can emulate that for a Singapore version, you could find a large audience.
Wow this is exactly what i need 😭😭🙏💕
Nice content looking forward for more day in the life videos. New subscriber here..
I'm in a top school and my school doesn't even provide art stream. All of us had to take science stream😭😭😭
nice content, keep it up!!
Thanks :D
Based on the things she says I get a sense that she is more suited to a caring profession for kids, maybe not so academic as a tutor in this competitive industry. Anyway I do relate with sg’s competitive culture, tbh I think it’s good to be competitive but not to the point where people become too stressed or hurt one another, otherwise’s good so it’s not all that bad. But yes, I do agree that we should value arts more and other talents apart from engineering, science, business, etc.
Underated channel
Very nice series just reminds me totally of Paolo from Tokyo (channel) series 🤣❤️
More such videos please!! Day in the life of a doctor maybe?
I’ll need to find a doctor to film 😅
Look forward to more 👍
Interesting channel with day in the life of different profile in Singapore. How about day of yourself? Haha
More content! How about life of a healthcare worker
Wah I admire her passion to teach. The moment I completed my degree I throw away all of my notes hahaha
please make more videos!
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO IVE EVER SEEN IN CZcams. IF THERE IS A SUPER LIKE BUTTON , I WOULD GIVE RED POTATO A SUPER LIKE VIDEO 👍
I think it would be great if you could a life of a sales person. It will be good insight
Art is not just limited to the subjects in school but also the art of talking and presenting yourself to others. Some schools provide public speaking courses.
good content
I miss Singapore :( WIsh I could go back sometime.
I would love you to tutor maths for my daughter online from Australia 😉. Finding a delicate hard working teacher is extremely hard.
"Just because you're smart doesn't mean you can teach," true that! Yeah seems like Singapore isn't fair when it comes to individual talent and strengths. All based off some fancy degree or test scores.
True but you also need a certain level of expertise to teach luh, just keeping it real
It's Paula from Singapore!
Singapore food is nice and cheap. But life in Singapore is a bit stressful and competitive.
Hope u can post like a video a week
Channel owner is sweet looking...😍😍😍
I will be moving back to Singapore with my 11 year old son whom I cutter home school. What would she charge weekly to take over the home Scholl at 6th grade US level?
Thank you
Reminds me of paolo from Tokyo but Singapore version
Cool Video...Honestly i'm x S'porean...n i think Education Not only on Papers..Life n Experential Learning also CRITICAL...in this Z..Gen...coz LIFE NOW is TOUGHER than b4...(Anyway this is my Opinion..🤔)..

Can you do a video about dating in Singapore?
I like this video. V real
im a private tutor myself, although part-time i can relate
Art is the most useful skillset one can nurture on. There vast possibility with freelancing in art. Designing ,coaching,….many more
😌 cool~
😌😌
6:22 "it's not that she doesn't want to do well, she just feels so unfair that she doesn't feel like wanting to do well."
I can relate on this point. My parents are extremely controlling of me as well, have implemented screentime restrictions for the past about 7 years or so.
Whenever I have bad scores or just don't act in the way they want, they resort to physical harm, and constantly talk about how much of a failure I am, how I shouldn't have been born etc. Because of this, I just have no motivation to do well at all. No matter how well I do in school, I will never be free.
To give some context on my tuition background, I used to have around 12 hours of tuition every weekend. Now that I'm in JC, it's 6 hours tuition total.
Edit: Regarding the last bit on voicing out. I used to have a secondary school form teacher (of 2 years) who knew of my circumstances and asked me about it. One session, she told me to write my troubles down on the piece of paper, stating that she would not let anyone else know. Lo and behold, on that same afternoon, my parents were called to the school and she showed it to them. When I got back, of course I was beaten up again. Because of this, I have trust issues with teachers who I'm not familiar with for more than a few years, I've become paranoid about sharing my issues with school teachers as well.
Damn... I hear you. That's tough. And I'm just a faceless stranger across a screen but I genuinely wish you all the best :)
Beating up people is definitely wrong. U are a human not a dog. Take picture of your wounds and go to the police. They probably need some counselling. This is just plain fk unhealthy 🙄🤮
And teachers always sucks I feel. They don't fking know a single thing🙄🤮
Hey, I know I'm 2 years late, but I just hope that I'm not too late. I'm so sorry that happened to you and I hope things are hopefully going your way ❤. No one deserves being treated like that, and I do hope life is treating you better.
Im a private tutor too and i like to watch this video.😊
Hi, are you doing tutoring full time? I'm just started tutoring too, about two months. ☺
Please do a day in a life of a nurse or house officer
i wish i have tutor like her i had math tuition last time and my math still suck
Hi love ur videos sub and like already❤️
If there were no artists, there would be no culture. Arts are equally as important as the STEM subjects and it's frustrating to hear educators dismiss their students' artistic aspirations.
🙏🏼
The mall yall went to for dinner was NEX right?

You conduct lesson in ur house? So you don’t need travel to the place? I go to ppl house to teach so can’t take so many classes
@@user-nt7ri8cl5p yeah ! I conduct all the classes at my own tuition center and it's next to my home.😊
@@shanikadissanayake Icic I am private tutor 😅, cos feel stressful if need to make rent etc for class
Greetings from an American prof in Taipei, Taiwan (also a private teacher)! What are “local degrees” and “private degrees?” Thanks.
Hustle hustle.
Hey thanks for your videos! but only got 3 eh, are you going to make more?
unfortunately, SG is like that one ah, they value their local degree grads more - but doesn't mean those people local degree grad they very good - seriously sotongs are everywhere... local grad can also mean, book smart only but not work smart. I've worked in govt and private sector, worked with private U grad and local U grad - seriously, being a local grad doesn't mean you are 'better'. There are so many private U grads who have a better work ethics and work quality too. just. unfortunate la. :(
Jia you.
