🇸🇬 Singapore Curriculum Teacher Training
Training for tutors and teachers taking on the Singapore national curriculum — how the system fits together from primary through to junior college, and what PSLE actually assesses. Written notes, a checklist and a training video for every lesson.
The Singapore lessons in the course
Two lessons so far, both inside the Tutor & Teacher Training course. Take them in order — the overview gives you the shape of the system, and the PSLE lesson goes deep on the exam that matters most to families.
Overview of the Singapore Curriculum
How the system fits together from primary through secondary to JC, and the vocabulary families use when they talk about it.
Open the lesson → Lesson 02Understanding the Singapore PSLE Curriculum
What PSLE actually assesses and how it is scored — the exam that shapes a Singaporean family's expectations more than any other.
Open the lesson →More Singapore lessons are planned
Secondary and junior college material is still being written. The IGCSE lessons cover exam technique that carries across in the meantime.
See the IGCSE lessons →The course also covers IGCSE, International A Level and IB, running a trial lesson, engaging students and parents, and supporting students with ADHD, autism or dyslexia online.
How the training works
Try it free, then subscribe
Start for free and see whether it suits you — there is no cohort to wait for. One subscription unlocks every training course — IGCSE, International A Level, IB, the Singapore curriculum and SEND — along with the Learning Portal's resources and tools for those curricula across a wide range of subjects, which you can use with your own students.
Notes, checklist and video
Each lesson gives you all three, so you can read it, watch it, or use the checklist while you plan — whichever suits how you work.
Quizzes, progress and a certificate
Each lesson has a Test Yourself section to check you have taken it in. Your progress and completion are tracked as you go, and Tutopiya issues a certificate once you finish the course.
Who it is for
Based in Singapore
You already know the system as a parent, student or teacher. This puts that knowledge into the shape a tutor needs, and it is the curriculum where a local tutor is hardest to replace.
Teaching Singaporean families abroad
Expatriate families often keep their child on the Singapore track. Knowing how PSLE scoring works tells you what they are actually anxious about.
Coming from an international curriculum
You teach IGCSE or IB and have been asked for a Singapore student. Start with the overview — the progression and assessment culture differ more than the content does.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay for this training?
You can start for free and see whether the course suits you. The rest of the Tutor & Teacher Training course unlocks with a Tutopiya subscription. It is self-paced either way, and Tutopiya issues a certificate once you complete the course.
Do I need to be based in Singapore to teach this curriculum?
No, but it helps more here than for most curricula. A tutor in Singapore shares the timezone, knows the school calendar and streaming system first-hand, and understands how families talk about PSLE — which is why we recruit locally for it.
What is PSLE and why does it matter so much?
The Primary School Leaving Examination is taken at the end of primary school and shapes secondary placement. It carries more weight in a Singaporean family's expectations than almost any other exam, so understanding how it is scored changes how you pitch a lesson.
I teach IGCSE — is the Singapore curriculum very different?
Different enough to be worth an hour of reading. The structure, the progression through primary, secondary and junior college, and the assessment culture all differ from an international specification, even where the subject content overlaps.
How long does it take?
Each lesson is a short read with a video and a checklist, so you can work through both Singapore lessons in a sitting. Progress is tracked, so you can stop and come back.
