Novena has a decent cluster of tuition centres, most of them packed into United Square and the Thomson Road / Goldhill Centre stretch. It’s a convenient area for parents nearby in Balestier, Thomson, and the Newton fringe to drop kids off after school.
We swept every listing on the site categorised under “Novena” and kept every one that teaches Secondary Science. That gave us 8 centres — a real count, not rounded, and not padded with centres that only teach other levels or subjects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Novena centres teach both Secondary Science and JC subjects?
Indigo Education Centre, Bright Culture Tuition Centre, and Global Education all offer JC subjects alongside Secondary Science. Global Education has the broadest JC lineup of the three, covering Biology, Chemistry, Economics, General Paper, Mathematics, and Physics.
Are any of these centres Secondary-only, with no younger levels?
Yes. Afterskool Learning Centre, Indigo Education Centre, and Bright Culture Tuition Centre don’t list any Preschool or Primary subjects — they focus on Secondary (and, for the latter two, JC).
Which centres offer a trial class before signing up?
Indigo Education Centre offers a free trial class, and Bright Culture Tuition Centre offers a paid one. Global Education explicitly lists no trial class available. The other centres in this list don’t have trial class data recorded.
Do all these centres teach Biology as well as Physics and Chemistry?
Not all of them. The Learning Lab, Crucible, Afterskool Learning Centre, Bright Culture, and Global Education all list Biology alongside Physics and Chemistry at Secondary level. Mind Stretcher, Aspire Hub, and Indigo Education Centre list Chemistry and Physics but not Biology under Secondary Science.
Where in Novena are most of these centres located?
Four of the eight — The Learning Lab, Mind Stretcher, Aspire Hub, and Indigo Education Centre — are in United Square on Thomson Road. Afterskool and Bright Culture are both in Goldhill Centre nearby, Global Education is in Goldhill Plaza, and Crucible is the outlier, based at Tanglin Community Club on Whitley Road.
