Novena Small Class Tuition Achieve Best Results for Students
Located at Novena, Singapore, Habitat Learning Centre provides Secondary and JC tuition. Passion is what drives us when it comes to teaching our next generation.
… My tutors always brought out the joy in learning be it for physics or chemistry for me. They would also always patiently explain whatever I did not understand and use real life examples to make it more understandable….
Updated Feb 2025:
My daughter just got her A level results today and we are so happy that she did very well. She scored A for both Chemistry and Maths (subjects that she received enrichment at Habitat Learning Centre) and her result is the biggest testament to Ms Song and teacher Leon for their dedication as an educator. I have nothing but admiration and respect for the work that Ms Song and her team do at Habitat Learning Centre and I hope they continue to inspire and deliver success to every student there.
All in all, 5/5 would recommend

Why Habitat Learning Centre
High Retention Rate with small class holistic teaching
We believe that education can change a life, a family, a nation and the world. At Habitat Learning Centre, we believe in a holistic approach to teaching. We also compile our own teaching materials and worksheets based on MOE syllabus. Our students of our secondary and JC tuition are exposed to different types of exam-like questions to equip them for their examinations. Parents send their child to our centre for various reasons. The most prominent ones are:
Small Class Size ▾
Unlike many other tuition centres, we keep our class size small so that teachers can spend more time with each student. There is a Chinese saying “因材施教” which means teach according to each person’s ability. We adopt a Bespoke style of tuition by providing individualised learning method which allows each student to learn and progress at a level best suited for his/ her academic ability.
High Retention Rate ▾
More than 90% of our lower secondary students continued to be at our centre through upper secondary. Why? Because we get them to enjoy learning. Our team of teachers are very closely knitted and have been working as a team for more than 6 years. Our teachers are students-eccentric and driven by passion. They constantly review their teaching methods to bring out the Best from our students.
Holistic Teaching ▾
Teaching to achieve academic results is a given in our centre. What lies Beyond this academic excellence is to prepare students for larger roles entering into society in future. Metalearning talks about the concepts, facts and process in making learning the most effective. Our teachers are engaged with the students to make learning enjoyable. Moulding future leaders through our centre is our dream.
The Habitat Aptitude Test (THAT) Challenge
T.H.A.T. Challenge
Through the years, our team of teachers has helped many students excel in their studies. We are the first to create an online aptitude test, The Habitat Aptitude Test (THAT) challenge, absolutely free for upper secondary students.

Why Small Math Tuition Classes Nurture Stronger Learners
Small math classes build focus, confidence, and results
Transitioning from ‘O’ Levels to ‘A’ Levels during the Covid-19 Era.

“This Centre has definitely taught me many things, not only in the education aspect, but also build on my character, to be more responsible and focused. It also has given me hope. I used to think a pass is what I could achieve at my best, always expecting the worse in my results. However, after joining the classes, I understood my weakness and mistakes. Teachers would always motivate us and they see the potential in us, making me feel encouraged to work harder, getting the results that will make my teachers and me proud. Obviously now, I believe that I can get the results I want for the O levels and to achieve my targets. Overall, I enjoyed my time here. The teachers are all very nice and caring. They always try their best and go through certain topics that I am weak in. I remember there was one class with teacher Eunice, drawing all the light diagrams when I said I always don’t know how to do. Even though I didn’t start memorizing, it definitely saves me at least a grade in the exam.”
Some Common Questions
What is the best tuition centre in Novena?
It really depends… but class size is important. There is no one-size-fits-all “best” tuition centre. The right choice depends on your child’s learning style, the teacher’s approach, and the class environment.
At Habitat Learning Centre, we focus on small group tuition (capped at 6 students) to ensure every student receives personalised attention. We believe the best results come from the right balance of teaching quality, class size, and student-teacher dynamics.
Why does class size matter in tuition?
We think class size is inversely proportionate to how much a student receive attention; the bigger the class size, the lower the attention each studen receive. Class size plays a critical role in learning outcomes. In large classes, students often receive limited attention and may hesitate to ask questions.
Our classes are intentionally kept small so teachers can:
- Identify learning gaps quickly
- Provide targeted guidance
- Adapt teaching to each student’s pace
This is especially important for subjects like Math and Science, where concepts build on one another.
How much are tuition fees in Singapore?
Tuition fees vary widely depending on class size, teacher experience, and the level of personalisation.
Instead of comparing purely on price, we encourage parents to consider the value of the learning experience — including teaching quality, class size, and student engagement.
At Habitat, we offer a paid trial class so you can experience our teaching approach before making a decision. Feel free to reach out to us to make an arrangement!
Do you offer a trial class?
Yes, we offer a paid trial class for all new students. This allows both parents and students to experience our teaching style, class environment, and structure before committing.
We usually ask about the student’s profile and try to find the “best fit” teacher for the student. From our experience, we realised the “chemistry” between the teacher and student plays an importat part in the learning journey.
By doing a paid trial session, we believe this is the best way to determine if the centre is the right fit.
Do you offer IP Physics tuition in Novena?
Yes, we provide IP Physics tuition in Novena tailored to students in Integrated Programme schools. Our lessons focus on deeper conceptual understanding and application-based learning.
How do you help students improve in Physics?
Using our TICKS model, we combine clear explanations, structured practice, and hands-on learning. Our students benefit from:
- Step-by-step concept breakdowns
- Exam-focused question strategies
- Exposure to Physics practical lab components where relevant
This ensures they are well-prepared for both written exams and practical assessments.
What makes Habitat Learning Centre different?
Our key difference lies in our philosophy:
- Small class size (max 6 students)
- Personalised teaching approach (因材施教)
- Strong focus on concept mastery
- Supportive and engaging learning environment
Unlike many tuition centres, we prioritise real learning and results, not volume.
How do I know if this tuition centre is suitable for my child?
There is no way of knowing unless you take a leap of faith. The best way is to experience it firsthand. Every student learns differently, and teacher-student dynamics matter.
We recommend starting with a trial class to see if your child feels comfortable, engaged, and supported.
What subjects do you offer?
We specialise in:
- Lower Secondary Math and Science tuition
- Upper Secondary O-Level Pure Physics, Chemistry, E Math and A Math tuition and Combined Science (Physics)
- JC Chemistry, JC Math tuition and JC Economics tuition
Our programmes are designed to build strong fundamentals and exam confidence.
