Hi,


It’s only 1 to 1 or group tuition? Thanks.

[Lilo]

Does she teach Sec one HCL? 1-to-1 or group? Group size? What’s her credential? You can PM me if not convenient to disclose.

I urgently need chinese tutor as DD is unable to follow class in school and she feels insecure without tuition.

Hi, she teaches in groups, and also teaches compo as well.

My name is Joanna, and I am a TJC student (currently doing JC2 this year). I thought I would love to share this with everyone as I just got back my Chinese A level results yesterday, and am really happy with it.

Under her guidance, I managed to get A for Chinese, a repeat of what I did for O levels 2 years ago. The amazing thing is that I had managed to improve from a failing grade to A in the span of just 4 months. Her teaching style is easy to follow and kept me motivated throughout, even though I had previously hated the subject.

I would beg to differ actually. It might be true that she does drilling to a certain extent, but personally, I would attribute it to Singapore's education system. Moreover, why would you question one's method if it works? My child improved from a C to A* within 3 terms, so I would definitely recommend her.

Does she teach 1 to 1? Is she using assessment books to teach or her own teaching materials? Does she teach oral too?

I think so, but I believe she usually teaches in groups. She uses her own teaching materials and teaches oral as part of every lesson.

Hi all, my son would be taking PSLE this year, and as my family speaks only English at home, I am worried that he would not be able to cope with the Chinese oral exam. He also seemed not too proficient with speaking Chinese. That is why I am looking for a Chinese tutor to help my son with this area.


I heard that Mrs Lim from Eastvale is having oral classes for PSLE, and I hope that I could get some feedback from the forums before I send my son for the classes.

Thank you!

I sent my kid to Mrs Lim at Eastvale condo for tuition for 1 year. Her 1 to 1 is very expensive. You can check it out. About $280 per session for 1-1. She may have changed her pricing, but you can check. P6 she charges around $280 to $300 which is about $65+ per lesson for group lesson. Sometimes in a group class, there are between 2 to 7 students in the class.


PSLE chinese oral… sometimes as many as 10 in a class i heard from my kid. Because before prelims and PSLE… all kiasu, came for extra lessons. And so… all came for the same class together. How can your kid practise oral properly unless you request for 1-1 ?

I believe it takes more than group tuition to learn oral properly.

I found her good initially and very committed. She can cover quite a lot of materials per lesson and she is very fast. But after some time, I felt her commitment level deteriorate. And felt that sometimes she is concern to make more money by maximizing the class and by shuffling students about. This is just my own observation.

I ask my kid what she did with them after every lesson and looked at the materials. It was good to have such materials to begin with. But as my kid had some special needs, her material was too simple and insufficient.

In the end, I pulled my kid out from her tuition class because I saw the way my kid’s school teacher drive the class to learn chinese and the materials provided by the school was really "got standard". My kid’s CA marks improved by 10 marks due to the guidance of the school teacher. Compo improved from 26 to 32 after drilling by the school teacher. We both agreed this is definitely school teacher’s effort. I say this because I was involved in my kid’s work. I had to help test my kid because the school teacher was going to test them one by one the next day. The school teacher passes or fails the students if they did not study the materials given enough.

I am not a believer of having group tuition and combine levels too, e.g. P5 and P6. Sometimes P6 and Sec 1. I learnt my lesson after sending my kid to a number of private group tuitions.

Also, I do not think it is ethical of a tutor to tell the students to write composition during tuition class and then "disappear" from the classroom and only to reappear to dismiss the class. Neither do I think a tutor should ask students to do mock paper during lesson time; and then go cook breakfast or dinner or wash dishes during lesson time. It’s just too good money if these tutors do such things. Worst is… they tutor never mark and never return mock paper. My kid encountered two tutors who did this already. This is just so good money to them! Easy money especially when her fees are not cheap for group tuition.

Eventually, i get a private 1-1 tutor for my kid at $60 for 1.5 hours. And I am there to listen into every lesson, and I get to tell the tutor what I need her to do with my child and what to drill. That’s just my two cents worth of sharing.
