How do I file taxes as a self-employed tutor? I am 22, just graduated and have been giving tuition since Jan 2020. My income increased significantly since April, but I am not sure if I need to file taxes. Any advice?

Since schools closed during April-May, my income have increased significantly as most of my tutees request for 2x tuition per week. Currently teaching 6 students, income for April & May were around $4200 & $4500. Income will remain arnd $4500-4600 for rest of the year. Est $54,000 annual income. How to go about filing tax? (as all my income were paid by PayNow from parents) Went on IRAS website but couldn't find any useful info.
First-timer for filing taxes, appreciate every help!!!
