Online · one to one
A Singapore IB specialist, one to one, in your child’s timezone.
Not a group class you dial into. A private tutor — one student, one tutor, a lesson that belongs to them. Worksheets built for your child, and every session recorded and yours to keep.
In short. Arche Academy International teaches IB Diploma, IGCSE and MYP students one to one on Zoom from Singapore, from US$140 per 2-hour lesson for Grades 7 to 10 and from US$200 for Grades 11 to 12. Lessons run at 8pm on school nights in Hong Kong and between 4pm and 8pm in the UAE.
Subjects: IB Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and Economics; IGCSE Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Combined Science. The same tutor, Glen Teo, teaches every lesson. Times for other cities are in the table below.
How it works
One student, one tutor, every week.
| Format | One student, one tutor. No group. |
| Lesson | 2 hours, weekly |
| Platform | Zoom, with a shared digital whiteboard |
| Scheduling | Around your child’s school week and timezone, not ours |
| Materials | Worksheets built after the first diagnostic, for your child alone |
| Recordings | Every session recorded, yours to keep, no conditions |
| Between lessons | WhatsApp or email access to the tutor for short questions |
| Parents | Written progress updates at regular intervals |
Availability
When we can teach, in your time.
One tutor, so the hours are finite: online lessons can be booked any time except 3am to 8am and 3pm to 8pm Singapore time. That still leaves after-school hours across most of Asia, the Gulf, the UK, Europe and North America, so the reach is wider than you might expect from a Singapore tutor. Times below are lesson start times in your local time; every lesson runs two hours.

Why Singapore
The teaching families relocate for, without the relocation.
Singapore’s teaching in mathematics and the sciences is among the most rigorously structured in the world, and it is the reason families move here for school in the first place.
If you have left, or never came, this is a way to get the teaching anyway. That is the whole proposition, and we would rather say it plainly than call ourselves global.
Subjects online
The same list we teach in Kovan.
IB Diploma — Mathematics (AA SL, AA HL, AI SL, AI HL), Chemistry (SL and HL), Physics (SL and HL), Economics (SL and HL).
IGCSE — Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Combined Science.
Earlier years — IB PYP and MYP mathematics and science.
There is no subject we offer online that we do not offer in person, and none the other way round.
Questions
What parents ask.
Is this a group class over Zoom?
Why is 1-to-1 more expensive than the group class?
We’re relocating away from Singapore mid-year. Can our child continue?
What technology does my child need?
Can we see a recording before we commit?
Thirty minutes on Zoom, and you’ll see where the marks are going.
No charge. No obligation. You keep the recording.
