Choosing a tuition centre can feel like guesswork. Here is a clear, practical checklist to help you evaluate any MOE-registered tuition centre in Singapore. You will see what MOE registration really covers, what to ask about teacher credentials, how to check curriculum alignment, and how to judge class size, progress tracking, and parent communication.

MOE requires centre-based tuition and enrichment providers that teach subjects from mainstream schools to register if they teach 10 or more students. Registration covers the school, the courses, and the teachers permitted to teach. It is a legal right to operate once the basic statutory requirements are met.
During registration, MOE looks at baseline compliance, such as premises safety and documentation, and it records teachers and courses approved to be offered.
Registration is not an endorsement of quality. MOE states that registration does not mean the Ministry endorses or accredits the school, its courses or its teachers. Treat it as a minimum bar, not a badge of excellence.
