Digital learning platforms continue to thrive as students embrace virtual education tools.
Online tuition in Singapore remains in high demand even after the pandemic. Platforms like Koobits and 88tuition have captured the attention of students such as Primary 4 pupil Rheyaa Chelsea Mogan and her brother, Reuben Dhylan Mogan, who use these tools daily for mathematics and science learning. Rheyaa enjoys interactive features like avatars and leaderboards, while Reuben values the ability to revisit lessons for better comprehension.
Many online platforms report enrollment surges during the pandemic, with some maintaining these figures as they expand their services. Subscription costs vary, with fees ranging from $288 annually to $268 monthly. Popular providers such as 88tuition and Geniebook offer features like instant feedback, AI-driven personalization, and parental monitoring tools to enhance learning outcomes.
The convenience and affordability of virtual tuition resonate with parents, such as financial planner Chandramogan Gunasekaran, who sees these platforms fostering independence in his children’s studies. Meanwhile, hybrid models, such as those offered by Overmugged, cater to students seeking a blend of online and in-person classes.
As digital learning gains momentum, the Ministry of Education supports this trend by integrating technology into schools’ curricula. However, traditional tuition still appeals to some parents and tutors, who value the personal connections and immediate feedback of face-to-face lessons.
The future of tuition may rest on balancing traditional methods with innovative digital approaches to meet diverse learning needs.
