Comparing Math Enrichment Programmes
-
Well, what is a good math tuition center? Because there are established? Because they are structured? Because they produced good result? Or Because they have good teachers?
So, everyone has a different view point.
I will think that a good tutor makes a great difference.
So think before you rush to follow the crowd.
You might get a good tutor in your neighborhood. -
I think teachers are more important. Not the branding of the tuition centre. My P4 girl is extremely weak in Maths. She failed her P3 Maths last year, so I decided to sign her up for p4 Maths tuition. Coincidentally, a group of teachers set up tuition classes at the Student Care Centre near my house this year. I decided to sign her up as discount is given to students who are already in the Student Care Centre. The rate is affordable and reasonable as compared to Learning Lab or other ‘branded’ centres. The teacher is very nice as she offered free p3 Maths lessons for my girl to help her build up her foundation. The teacher has her own Maths curriculum which I think is very effective. I can see drastic improvement in my girl’s results. From band 4 in CA1 to Band 2 in SA2. I also heard from another parent that her son used to fail Maths all the way fr P4 to P5. This year, the boy scored an A for his prelims after attending tuition for a year, taught by the same teacher. Hence, I feel that it is very important to get a good teacher who can deliver the lesson effectively.

Agreed. So whether you join a group tuition or 1-1 home tuition, the teacher will be the main contributing factor for the improvement. Well, beside the willingness of the kids to learn from the teacher.
I have Sec 4 student improved from E8 to A1 in prelim, Sec 2 student scored 49.5/50 for his paper 1, and Sec 2 student improved from single digit to double digit 42% (single digit in midyear).
I teach the basic of the concept, the link between topics, so that they will understand and hence remember the problem solving method, even after the examinations. -

Hi, I am new here!
Is there anyone who will be kindly enough to recommend an A & E math tutor to me? I need the tutor who is experianced helping those students who are not doing well in maths. I am living in Jurong west.
Thank you! -
I strongly agree that branding is not important when it comes to sending your child for enrichment. The teacher is the crucial factor. My niece likes her tutor very much and she is not from a branded company. Word of mouth has more impact still.

Absolutely agree... look around the neighbourhood and if possible, speak to the teacher him/herself.
