Automation for Singapore Tutors · mtaimoor.com
Nine systems · Fixed prices · About two weeksA parent finds you at 11pm, messages, gets no reply, and books the centre down the road. Nine systems close that gap — from the first message to a paid seat in your class:

Track Record
Ask for the breakdown on the call — which centres, which levels, what a lead cost, and what it did not work for. I would rather show you the account than round a number up.
The Honest Diagnosis
Most tuition businesses already get attention. What they don’t have is anything standing between that attention and a booked trial class.
The Nine Systems
They can be bought one at a time, but they’re designed to feed each other: ads, social and Google bring parents, auto-DM and WhatsApp answer them, the page captures them, email warms them, and course videos in your own LMS give you something to sell that isn’t your own hours.
Parents message your WhatsApp and get an instant reply in your voice — fees, levels, location, and a link to book a live slot. Details land in your sheet. Anything unusual comes to you.
Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube from one queue. A term of posts scheduled, each reshaped per platform, comments and DMs in a single inbox. You approve; it runs.
Not a brochure. One page that trades something parents want — a paper pack, a topic checklist — for their email. Wired to your list and WhatsApp, delivered instantly.
The download is only the start. A welcome sequence earns trust and invites a trial, then a monthly note keeps you in mind. Written once, sent forever, to a growing list.
Campaigns built for enquiries, not impressions — targeted by level, subject and area, pointed at your page or WhatsApp. Reported on cost per enquiry and trials booked.
You teach; I make it sellable. Screen and camera cut together, audio cleaned, working labelled on screen, branded throughout — plus vertical cuts for ads and socials.
A parent comments a keyword and the guide lands in their DMs seconds later. Every DM answered instantly, every reply captured as a lead, handed to you when it needs you.
Parents search “tuition near me” before they search you. Your listing built out properly, posts kept current, and review requests sent automatically after every good result.
Parents book and pay for live class slots online — capacity, Zoom links and reminders handled. Recorded lessons sit in the same login as modules they work through. One place to sell both.
Why They Belong Together
This is the honest case for the full stack — and the honest case against buying pieces at random.
The Build
Four stages, about two weeks for the systems that get built once. Ads management and course video editing are ongoing work rather than a build — they run monthly or per video, and I price them that way instead of hiding them in a fixed fee.
Day 1–2
We go through one ordinary week: the questions parents ask, where they find you, what you’d be willing to give away as a lead magnet. I come back with which of the nine systems to build first — and which to leave for later.
Day 3–9
WhatsApp flows, the social queue, the lead-magnet page, the email sequence — all on your accounts, in your wording, with your fees and levels. Nothing goes live until you’ve read every automated message and approved how it sounds.
Day 10–12
We run it on live enquiries and real visitors with me watching. Wrong replies get fixed, the page gets tuned by what people actually do on it, and the tone gets adjusted until it reads like you on a good day.
Day 13–14
A short walkthrough video per system, plus a one-page cheat sheet for whoever covers your front desk. Your accounts, your lists and your files are yours — and you get a login to the automations, which run on my managed stack. What that means if we ever part ways is spelled out in the pricing section, not buried in a contract.
Honest Filter
I’d rather lose the project than take money from a tutor who needs students first. Read both lists.
Pricing
Two kinds of work, priced as two kinds of work. Systems that get built once carry a one-time fee. Ads, content and video editing are ongoing labour, priced monthly or per video.
One thing said plainly: the automations run on my managed stack of automation apps, not on nine subscriptions in your name. You get a limited-access login to the parts that matter — leads, content queue, campaign on/off. Your own WhatsApp number, social accounts, ad accounts, domain and email list stay entirely yours. Keeping the automations running needs an active plan from the Ongoing section below — from S$120/month. Prefer everything in your own name instead? I’ll build it that way; it costs more monthly and you carry the admin.
Built Once
One-time · About one week
Why S$690: roughly 12–14 hours of setup and testing. Recover one student who would otherwise have booked elsewhere and it has paid for itself.
For the tutor whose only real leak is unanswered messages.
One-time · About ten days
Why S$1,150: about 22 hours, and it builds the asset you don’t have — a list. The list keeps producing enrolments long after the build is paid off.
For tutors who already get attention and need somewhere for it to land.
One-time · About two weeks
Why S$1,850: around 35 hours across nine systems. Bought separately the same pieces come to roughly S$2,600 — the discount is for building them in one pass.
The whole loop, connected, so nothing you attract gets dropped.
Ongoing
One of the first two is required with any build: the automations run on my app stack, and the stack has to be paid for. The third is optional.
Per month · Cancel anytime
Why S$120: the app subscriptions your flows live on cost me most of this. It is close to cost, not a margin tier.
The minimum to keep any build running. Most solo tutors stay on this.
Per month · Cancel anytime
Why S$290: Platform & Access plus about three hours of my time a month. Cheaper than the hours you’d spend keeping it current yourself.
For centres whose fees, levels and timetable actually change during the year.
Per month · Plus your own ad spend
Why S$690: creative refreshed monthly plus weekly management. At S$600 spend it needs to bring two enrolments a month to be worth running — and I’ll tell you if it isn’t.
Built on the campaigns behind 50,000+ tuition leads since 2019. The first 4–6 weeks are still testing — anyone quoting a cost per lead before that is guessing.
Per Project
Live seats booked and paid online, recorded lessons sold on repeat. Priced per finished piece, not monthly — buy either with a build or entirely on its own.
Per finished video · Bulk rates below
Why S$120: three to four hours per lesson, and it produces two social cuts at the same time. Sell the course twice and the whole edit is covered.
Priced per finished video, not per hour — you know the bill before I start.
One-time · Platform in your name
Why S$690: one build, then it takes bookings and payments without you. Ten seats sold, or one course sold ten times, returns more than the setup.
The one system I insist goes in your name: paying students must never lose access.
Prices in Singapore dollars, and every one of them is what you pay — no setup surprises, no per-seat licences from me. Any system can be bought on its own; ask on the call. Writing your social content is not in any plan above — reshaping and scheduling what you give me is; producing posts from scratch is a separate monthly quote once we know the volume. Ad spend is never included and never passes through me: it sits on your own Meta and TikTok accounts, on your own card, so you see every dollar. Other third-party costs (WhatsApp Business API message fees, scheduler or email-platform subscriptions, domain and hosting) also stay on your accounts, unmarked-up. I’ll show you those numbers before you commit.
Questions
The first reply is instant, and most parents care far more about a fast answer than who typed it. The wording is yours. Anything the system can’t confidently handle is passed to you with the conversation history attached — I don’t build anything that pretends to be you in a real back-and-forth.
Two options, and I’ll be blunt about the difference. Cheaper: you record or write the raw material, I reshape, schedule and publish it everywhere. More expensive: I produce the content too, which is a monthly creative arrangement rather than an automation build. The Growth Machine covers the system and the workflow, and Care & Access keeps it edited and current — writing your posts from scratch is quoted separately once we know the volume.
Whatever a parent would download at 11pm without thinking: a past-year paper pack with worked answers, a topic checklist for the coming exam, a one-page “what your child should know by P5” guide. We decide it on the audit call, and I’ll help build it — but the teaching substance has to come from you. That’s the part nobody can outsource.
Less than you’d expect. The automation tools sit on my managed stack, so you don’t subscribe to those at all. What stays in your name is what should: your WhatsApp Business number, your domain and hosting, your email platform, your ad accounts, and your LMS if you take one. I’ll name every one of those costs on the call before you spend a dollar.
It’s built in as standard practice: consent wording on the lead-magnet form, a working unsubscribe in every email, data stored in your own accounts, and a clear answer on how long old records are kept. I’m not a lawyer and this isn’t legal advice — for a centre of any size, get your own compliance check and I’ll build to whatever it says.
Yes, and sometimes you should. But know what a single piece can’t do: social alone brings attention nothing catches, and an email sequence alone has no list to send to. If you can only afford one, start with WhatsApp — it works on the demand you already have.
No. Local ranking depends heavily on proximity to the searching parent, and nobody can move your unit closer to their flat. What I can do is make sure the listing is complete, categorised correctly, posting regularly, and steadily collecting real reviews — which is most of what you actually control. Anyone promising a Maps position is either guessing or planning to fake reviews, and fake reviews get listings suspended.
You set the rules and the system enforces them so you don’t have to argue with a parent. Typically: payment taken at booking, a reminder the day before and an hour before, free reschedule up to a set number of hours out, and no refund inside that window. Slots respect your capacity and level, so a P5 seat can’t be booked into a P3 class. It won’t eliminate no-shows — paid-at-booking plus reminders is what actually reduces them.
Yes — recurring sessions can be sold as a block or a monthly subscription, whichever suits how you already charge. I’d start with how you bill today rather than changing your model to suit a tool. Payments run through your own gateway, so the money lands in your account directly and never passes through me.
The booking system and LMS go in your name — your platform account, your payment gateway, your students — and I insist on it. The automations can sit on my managed stack because if they stop, your accounts still work manually. Booking and course platforms are different: parents would lose scheduled classes or access to something they paid for, and that’s your reputation, not mine. So you own the LMS, the enrolments and the revenue outright, and I build inside it. The monthly platform fee is yours, and modest at tutor scale.
Because nine tools in your name means nine subscriptions, nine logins and nine renewal dates you didn’t want to manage — and most of them price per seat or per contact in ways that cost a single tutor far more than they cost me across several clients. So the flows live on my managed stack and you get a limited-access login: your leads as they arrive, the content queue to approve, and a switch to pause any campaign. If you’d rather own every tool directly, I’ll build it that way instead — it costs more monthly and you carry the admin. Both are fine; say which you want on the call.
They’re exported and handed to you — the full list with sources and dates, in a plain spreadsheet, plus your email list from your own email platform. Nothing is held back as leverage. What stops is the automation: replies, posting and follow-ups run inside my app stack, so they end when the plan ends. Your accounts keep working manually exactly as they did before.
Yes, within their rules, and I build to those rules rather than around them. Automated DMs go to people who messaged or commented first, replies within the standard response window, no cold DMing strangers — that’s what gets accounts restricted. It runs through the official Meta messaging tools on your own pages, so nothing depends on a workaround that stops working next month.
No, and be careful with anyone who does. Cost per enquiry depends on your levels, your area, your creative and the season — it only becomes knowable after testing. What I commit to is honest reporting: what was spent, how many leads came in, what each cost, and how many turned into trial classes. If after two months the numbers say ads aren’t working for your offer, I’ll tell you to stop rather than keep billing you.
You do, directly. Campaigns run on your own Meta Business and TikTok Ads accounts with your card attached, so every dollar is visible to you and none of it passes through me. My monthly fee covers the work; the budget is yours and stays yours. I’d suggest starting around S$600/month — below that there isn’t enough data to learn from.
The recording — screen capture, Zoom recording, or camera footage — plus your logo and how you want topics titled. Clean audio matters more than camera quality; I can improve a recording, not rescue an inaudible one. The first finished video usually comes back within a few days so we can lock the style before the rest of the course runs through.
That’s the point of doing them together. Every lesson I edit also produces short vertical cuts for TikTok, Reels and your paid ads. One afternoon of recording becomes a sellable course, a month of organic posts, and ad creative — far cheaper than producing three separate things.
Split honestly, because this matters. Yours outright: your WhatsApp number, your Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube accounts, your Meta and TikTok ad accounts, your domain, your email list (exportable any time), your Google listing, and every finished video file. Mine: the automation apps the flows run inside, which sit on my subscriptions — that’s why you get a login instead of nine invoices. If we part ways, you keep every account, every lead and every file, and I’ll export your flows and hand over documentation so another provider can rebuild them. I won’t pretend otherwise: the automations themselves stop running when the plan stops. Ask me on the call rather than discovering it later.
No — I work remotely and my clients are in several countries. Everything happens over video calls and WhatsApp on your schedule. If you’d rather work with someone physically in Singapore, that’s a fair preference and I’ll say so plainly instead of talking you out of it.
Yes — that’s the rest of my work, and video is where I’ve spent the most years. Animated explainers, full websites and brand social all sit on my main page. See the rest of what I make.
