Bidadari still smells faintly of fresh paint and new turf, the sort of estate where parents push prams past The Woodleigh Mall on a Tuesday evening while their older kids lug backpacks home from school. If you’ve just moved into one of the newer BTO blocks here, or you’re searching for tuition centres in Bidadari that don’t involve a bus ride out to Toa Payoh or Serangoon, you’re in the right place.
We spent time walking through Woodleigh Mall’s upper floors, where most of Bidadari’s enrichment options have set up shop, and worked out which centres are genuinely worth your child’s after-school hours. If you’re also after a fresh cut while you’re in the area, our guide to the best hair salons in Bidadari covers that side of the estate too.
Whether you want a long-running chain known for pushing grades up or a smaller outfit with a gentler pace, here’s where to start.

Why it made the list
The Learning Lab has been one of Singapore’s most recognised English and Maths tuition names for years, and its Woodleigh Mall branch opened not long after the mall itself, making it one of the first dedicated tuition operators to set up inside Bidadari. The branch keeps to the small-group format the chain is known for islandwide, with class sizes kept low enough for tutors to mark and correct work during the lesson instead of just lecturing through a syllabus.
Classes cover English and Mathematics separately from lower primary through to secondary level, each with its own set of structured worksheets. Parents who’ve used other Learning Lab branches elsewhere in Singapore will recognise the same format here, which makes this a fairly safe pick if you’ve just moved from another estate and don’t want to start over with an unfamiliar tutor.
What to note
The monthly fee above is The Learning Lab’s general published rate, not a figure confirmed specifically for the Woodleigh branch, so call ahead to check the exact cost for your child’s subject and level before signing up.

Location: #01-09, The Woodleigh Mall, 11 Bidadari Park Drive, Singapore 367803
Operating Hours: Closed Monday and Tuesday; Wednesday to Friday, 12pm to 8:30pm; Saturday, 9:30am to 6:30pm; Sunday, 9:30am to 6pm.
Phone Number: +65 9733 6605 or +65 6517 9388
Why it made the list
Mavis Tutorial Centre is one of the older, more recognisable tuition chains in Singapore, and its Bidadari branch brings the same English, Maths, Science and Chinese programmes that have kept the brand running across the island for decades. It’s a practical option for families who want a familiar name without paying premium rates, since Mavis has generally positioned itself as the more affordable alternative to boutique tuition brands.
The branch’s hours lean toward weekday evenings and full weekend days, which suits working parents who can only bring their kids to lessons after 6pm or on a Saturday morning. Group sizes here tend to run a little larger than at some of its neighbours in the mall, so it suits a child who’s comfortable learning alongside classmates instead of needing one-on-one attention.
What to note
This branch is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so plan your lesson schedule around Wednesday onward.

Best for: Families who like the idea of enrichment with an international-school pedigree.
Estimated price: Not independently confirmed; call ahead for current fees.
Website: The Eton Academy – official website
Location: #01-12/13, The Woodleigh Mall, 11 Bidadari Park Drive, Singapore 367803
Operating Hours: Closed Monday and Tuesday; Wednesday to Friday, 2:30pm to 7pm; Saturday and Sunday, 9am to 7pm.
Phone Number: 6988 2757 (sourced from a business directory listing; not independently re-confirmed on an official page).
Why it made the list
The Eton Academy is the academic enrichment arm of the EtonHouse group, which runs a network of international schools across Singapore and the region. That background shows up in how the Bidadari branch is run, with English, Maths and Science enrichment pitched at primary and secondary students who want extra stretch rather than just exam drilling.
It’s a newer presence in Bidadari compared with some of the chains nearby, so there’s less of a local track record to go on, but the EtonHouse name carries weight for parents already familiar with its schools. The weekend hours, which stretch from 9am to 7pm on both Saturday and Sunday, give families more flexibility to fit lessons around a busy schedule.
What to note
We could not independently confirm this branch’s phone number or fees beyond a third-party directory listing, so check current details on the website or in person before planning a visit.
Woodleigh MRT, serving both the North East Line and Circle Line, sits right above The Woodleigh Mall, which makes every centre on this list a short walk from the platform regardless of which exit you take. If you’re driving in from elsewhere, the mall has its own basement car park, so budget a little extra time around the after-school rush when parents are dropping off or picking up. Several bus services run along Upper Serangoon Road and Bidadari Park Drive, so a bus is often just as workable as driving if you live a few blocks away.
Bidadari is still finding its feet as an estate, but between Woodleigh Mall’s shops and these three tuition centres, there’s enough here now that a family doesn’t need to look outside the neighbourhood for everyday enrichment. If you’re settling into a new routine here, our guide to the best cafes in Bidadari is a good next stop for weekend breakfast spots, and the hair salons piece linked earlier rounds out the practical side of moving in.
What’s the easiest way to get to the tuition centres in Bidadari?
All three centres sit inside The Woodleigh Mall, directly above Woodleigh MRT on the North East and Circle Lines, so the simplest route for most families is by train. If you’re driving, the mall has a basement car park, though it can fill up quickly after school hours.
How much does tuition cost in Bidadari?
Prices vary a fair bit by centre and subject. Mavis Tutorial Centre is generally the most affordable at around $70 to $120 per 1.5-hour lesson, The Learning Lab runs from roughly $280 to $450 a month per subject, and The Eton Academy’s fees were not independently confirmed at the time of writing, so it’s best to check directly with the centre.
What age groups do these tuition centres serve?
Based on each centre’s own programmes, all three primarily serve primary and secondary school students, with The Learning Lab and Mavis offering separate tracks for different subjects and levels.
Is parking available near the tuition centres in Bidadari?
Yes, The Woodleigh Mall has its own basement car park that serves all the shops and centres inside, including the three on this list, though spaces can be limited during peak after-school hours.
The Learning Lab and Mavis Tutorial Centre’s quoted fees reflect each chain’s general published rate rather than a figure confirmed specifically for the Woodleigh branch. The Eton Academy’s phone number and fees came from a third-party directory listing and could not be independently re-confirmed on an official page. All three branches were confirmed open and trading via their own websites or recent local directory listings as of early November 2026, but this was not re-verified by phone call.
