Ending the “Drilling” Tuition Culture

We Know the Struggle of Finding the “Right” Tutor.
You hire a private tutor. You pay premium fees. But the tears over homework don’t stop, the exam anxiety gets worse, and the grades stay the same. Then, the cycle repeats.
If you are exhausted from “tutor-hopping” across Singapore, you are not alone.
The Realisation That Changed Everything
Our Founders—Edmen Tam, Cherry Goh, and Jerry Goh—saw this frustration firsthand. Before Scholars Hall, we ran Scholarly, a free tuition marketplace app connecting thousands of students with private tutors across Singapore.
“When I was a student, I saw firsthand the lifelong impact that a caring, well-equipped, and patient tutor had on the course of my life. Those tutors taught me more than just the syllabus — they taught me how to believe in myself, and showed me how capable I truly was… The creation of Scholars Hall is our attempt at passing that same gift to future generations.”
Standard tutors are trained to teach the syllabus. They are rarely equipped to handle a panicking, overwhelmed student.
From Tutor Matching to Holistic Mentorship
We knew we had to build a better alternative. Realising that a panicking mind cannot learn, we stopped matching traditional tutors with students and started rigorously training Mentors.
We stepped away from the traditional, volume-driven tuition factory model to build Scholars Hall: Singapore’s premier, mental-health-first academic mentorship tuition provider.
