      Chk wf u, do u on the aircon when the tutor is here? Do u allow ur tutor to look ard a house?

      Why are you so unlucky? Have all these weird tutors. I will leave it to my children to see if they want to turn on the air-con. Recently, the weather is so HOT that my children will turn on the air-con during tuition which I am ok with.

      I don't have tutor who will look around my house.

        Go tutor house then can look at tutor’s house instead :evil:[/quote]Lol. I will not let them do that. I recently hired a private geography tutor and i let her teach in the living room dining table. I on the air con and listen to all the things she teaches to my son for all lesson. I have seen private tutors lazing ard before, I am not gg to let that happen again, while she teach I do my work on my com.

            If your son is in Secondary School, I believe that he can feedback to you regarding the tutor. But if your current arrangement is good, then no problem 🙂

                Has one tried this guy Mr Phang from physics.com.sg for Physics tuition.


                Heard he earns millions.

                He seem to do only group tuition now and charges around 400-500 per 4 lessons

                Read his website… cannot tahan, a lot of self-praise. I feel quite uncomfortable with people who blow their own trumpet so loud. Is he really that good?

                  If he wasn't good, he'd be out of business by now. It's ok to blow his own trumpet, as long as he's telling the truth. 😄


                  Those I can't stand are the ones who claim to know more than they do. And those with no integrity.

                    Yeah, he has many students so I guess he must be quite good. Anyway, it’s not easy to find good physics teacher. Even in school, good physics teacher are hard to come by.

                      I dunno man… I don’t have friends who engage him, nor engage him myself, but one criteria I have is that my children’s tutors shouldn’t have too many tuition students. Otherwise, how do I get them to give extra lessons when we’re nearing exam period? Plus, harder to reschedule lessons ley. Don’t u think so?
