What is the difference between tutoring and tuition?

Broadly, tutoring refers to the act of teaching or providing academic support to a student, usually in a one-on-one or small group setting, while tuition refers to the formal teaching of a subject, often in a classroom or structured setting. 

Each of these terms also slightly differ in the context where it is used: 

In Singapore is math tutor tax deductible? 

In Singapore, math tuition fees—whether for private tutors or tuition centers—are not tax-deductible for individuals. The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) does not allow deductions for personal education expenses, including tuition for primary, secondary, or JC students.

However, businesses that provide tuition services may be able to claim relevant expenses (such as rent, staff salaries, and teaching materials) as business expenses for tax purposes.

If you’re looking for tax relief on education, there are specific reliefs and subsidies, such as:

• Course Fees Relief (for individuals upgrading their skills with IRAS-approved courses)
• SkillsFuture Credit (for eligible courses under SkillsFuture Singapore)
