## What the tutor categories mean

- Part-time tutors are usually undergraduates or graduates tutoring alongside study or work. TutorCity’s table counts polytechnic and university students and graduates here.

- Full-time tutors tutor as their main work.

- School teachers are current or former MOE teachers; TutorCity attributes their higher rates to NIE training and other certifications.

## Working out a month

Rate x hours per lesson x lessons a week x 4. A full-time tutor at S$50 an hour, 1.5 hours once a week, is about S$300 a month . The [tuition cost calculator](/tools/tuition-cost-calculator/) does the arithmetic for each level and tutor type. 

## What to agree before the first lesson
