Want to Attract More Students and Grow Faster?
In Singapore’s booming tuition scene, being a great tutor isn’t always enough. With so many options available to parents and students, how do you stand out?
The secret: marketing yourself effectively—and authentically.
Whether you’re just starting out or trying to build momentum, the right tools can help you shine. From testimonials and videos to upskilling opportunities, here’s how to stand out and grow your tutoring business.
1. Harness the Power of Testimonials
Parents trust what others say. Positive reviews and word-of-mouth remain some of the most powerful marketing tools for tutors in Singapore.
How to Get Great Testimonials:
- Ask after a few successful sessions—when parents or students are happy.
- Be specific: Request comments on how you helped improve grades, confidence, or engagement.
- Display them proudly on your Zipply profile, website, or social media pages.
Zipply Tip: Make it easy. Provide a short form or prompt so clients know what to include.
2. Create a Compelling Video Introduction
Your teaching style and personality matter. A short video helps you connect with potential students before the first lesson.
What to Include in Your Video:
- A warm introduction and what subjects/levels you teach
- Your teaching style and what makes your lessons effective
- A personal message on why you love tutoring
Zipply lets you upload a short video directly to your tutor profile. It’s a game-changer—especially for new tutors without a long track record.
🎥 You don’t need fancy equipment. A smartphone, natural light, and a quiet space will do!
