Beyond standard tuition: How Scholars Hall rebuilds academic confidence
The home tuition provider combines academic support with mental health-informed mentoring, tailoring lessons to how each student learns.
Scholars Hall, a home tuition provider, offers academic support combined with mental health-informed mentoring, customizing lessons to cater to each student's unique learning style. One child, Jayden, experienced the benefits of this approach after struggling with weekly English group tuition. His mother, Ms Rachel Feng, sought personalised guidance from Scholars Hall, resulting in one-to-one lessons with mentor Isabelle Chum, who tailored her teaching to Jayden's interests and energy levels.
By connecting learning to his passion for video games and utilizing play-based activities, Jayden regained his confidence and enthusiasm for learning. Scholars Hall, founded in 2025, emerged from the local edtech startup Scholarly, an app that connects tutors to students. The tuition service covers students taking the Primary School Leaving Examination, O-Levels, A-Levels and International Baccalaureate (IB), providing one-to-one home tuition.
Scholars Hall mentors undergo Ministry of Education (MOE)-aligned training, equipping them with evidence-based pedagogical practices, curriculum familiarity, and mental health literacy to recognize and address signs of student distress. Lessons are designed around a student's strengths and interests, fostering motivation and ensuring academic rigor.
The inaugural Scholars Hall Survey and Scholarship, launched one year after the company's inception, aims to help more students like Jayden build confidence and develop stronger learning habits.
