I would prefer home tutor to class tuition.

Same here...home tuition is customized to child's weakness compared to class tuition. Of course expensive...but custom tailored

Some enrichment centres are more expensive than home tuition

The branded enrichment centers are expensive…I have no comments because I cannot afford to send my kids there. The notes provided are very tough. Home tuition is better for my kids…1-to-1.

Weirdly enough, I feel that being in a Top primary school makes it harder for a kid to score well because all the scripts are of high standards.

It works both ways...some kids will feel depressed because they dont do well...but higher ability ones will feel encouraged they manage to attempt challenging questions.

Just chanced upon this topic ladies (and / or any gentlemen around too)! DS1 is also due to take his PSLE in 2016, so hello to all here

Hi,


My daughter used to score reasonable in english up to P4.(80+)

But in the P5 topical test she did very badly 56(only synthesize & comprehension).

Appreciate how to coach for english at home…

hi bsk,

i am getting daughter to do a page of English Daily Dose everyday…her weakness is in comprehension…but to do comprehension everyday would be painful. synthesis questions are 2 marks each…either she knows or not and depending on how careful she is. comprehension is a ‘big ticket’ section. to me, daily interaction with languages is crucial.

Hi Janet88


Could you help share or advise the daily/weekly timetable with your DD?? I am wondering how to manage 4 -5 subjects (Maths/Science/English/Chinese/HCL) revision coverage on top of her school and tuition normal homework…I have been trying but I cant seem to be able to slot in time for my DD on English (especially comprehension) and Science…she has been spending most of her time to school projects/math/HCL…
