My daughter continued her JC tuition journey at Habitat right after O levels. Subject content at JC level was much more challenging and with the hectic schedule, the learning curve was indeed demanding. At some point, like many JC students, she started to lose confidence but the Habitat tutors were super dedicated, patient and supportive. They understood the stress and they do not just merely teach, they shared their own life experiences and listened. I am ever so grateful to them and Ms Song. Habitat is truly the best centre i have encountered throughout my child’s entire academic journey.

Around late 2019, I chanced upon Habitat Learning when I was looking around Novena area for tuition classes for my then Sec 1 daughter. I was hesitant about signing up initially but decided to give them a try in the end. Now looking back, it was certainly the right decision. My daughter received her O Level results today and she did very well overall and particularly in subjects that she had attended classes at Habitat. Ms Song and her team of teachers are genuinely passionate about teaching and helping their students do well in their studies. They are easy to communicate with and the environment is conducive. Would like to give special thanks to Teacher Leon for his great dedication and support for my daughter. I would not hesitate to recommend Habitat Learning to anyone who is looking for experienced and responsible educators to help them excel in their studies.

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.

Two years ago i attended habitat due to having poor physics results (borderline failing). I was assigned to Ms Eunice's class and through her help and teaching, i managed to get an A for my O-levels

All in all, 5/5 would recommend

I am grateful to Habitat Learning Centre with how they have supported Asher with Mathematics Syllabus A . He struggled to pass his Mathematics since Secondary 3 and decided to enrol him at Habitat Learning Centre in Secondary 4. His grades started to improve and he eventually obtained a Grade 2 at the NA Level exams.

Both my sons attended Habitat Learning Centre when we observed that they needed help with Physics, Chemistry and Math. We were pleasantly surprised that their O-Level grades improved greatly under the tutelage of teacher Leon Choo, so much so that they were able to continue on their learning journey, taking up courses of their respective choices. Thank you.

I was a student at this tuition centre and thank god for their help, or else I would've stagnated and continued failing subjects. When secondary 3 ended, I realised I was averaging a F9 in Amaths and a C5 in both Emaths and Chemistry. That was when I was referred to this centre by my parents. My older sister had been taught under them during her schooling years and the progress made was remarkable. Hence, we unanimously decided to join their tuition lessons for both Maths and Chemistry. And I must say, the improvement had an immediate effect, and it was VERY NOTICEABLE. I scored A1s for all three subjects in my WA1 (the first examination of the year) in sec 4, which I was very taken back by. I was then able to maintain it until my Olevels, scoring single digit with distinctions for all the subjects guided by Habitat. Overall, I would rate my experience at Habitat a 10/10. The teachers and principal are all very understanding and are able to tailor a study plan for their students to achieve desired results. Class sizes were relatively small during my time there and it was definitely a plus point. 10/10 would definitely recommend! 🔥🔥🔥

Our experience with Habitat Learning Centre has been nothing short of remarkable. My daughter, Vanessa Ow, attended their tuition courses in A-math, E-math, Physics, and Chemistry. Since enrolling, her grades have shown a tremendous improvement. Vanessa achieved A1 in A-math and A2 in E-math, Physics, and Chemistry, which is a testament to the centre's exceptional teaching standards.

Vanessa teachers at Habitat Learning Centre are truly dedicated and have a unique ability to inspire their students. Their commitment and passion for teaching have had a profound impact on Vanessa's academic journey. We are incredibly grateful to the entire team for their hard work and dedication.

Thank you, Habitat Learning Centre, for your unwavering support and for making a significant difference in Vanessa's education. We highly recommend their services to any parent seeking quality tuition for their children.

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.

Review: 2020 ‘O’ Levels Chemistry Paper 2

Review: 2020 ‘O’ Levels Chemistry Paper 2

A seemingly easy paper that secretly challenged the Pure/Combined Students’ foundation without them realising. 2020 has been a really different year. A year that has challenged many of us to adapt and move away from our normal routines. For students taking the ‘O’...

“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:

Our programmes are designed to build strong fundamentals and exam confidence.
