Follow up with child's work after tuition / enrichment class

[tutormum]

For me, I believe a mixture of both. Children left on their own will not be motivated to do well as they don't see the need to. Yet, too much pushing will translate into pressure for the children. A little balance will be fine. Supervise their work but let them be independent by not getting too involved. If a child is self-motivated, half the battle is won. :celebrate:

I see you stressed out mom coaching the kids and I'm getting scared. My kid is only K1 and I don't send her for any other class, only her kindergarten. Am I irresponsible?

Hi nicole21, fret not i personally do not think responsibility is matched to the number of enrichment classes you send your kids to. So long you are satisfied that your kid is learning towards P1 preparation, i tink its fine.

Enrichment centres do help me to teach her new concepts/things. I must admit that i am pretty impatient and quick tempered. Engaging the help of enrichment centres help me to scream less, my daughter fear me less, and bond more. And of coz, i revise her school and enrichment class homeworks. Revision is so much peaceful than to teach new concepts myself

Hey mummies


Just wonder, do u have the same thought that the more expensive you pay for a tuition, as in one to one basis, do u feel even more streessful?

I do as am wondering how my child is taking the tuition?

Do u think all qualify teachers charged a premium?How true?

Exactly the same case as me. I used to try teach maths to my son. Simple addition and subtraction leads me to screaming at him and tearing my hair out. I have since left it to the schools and whatever outside help I can get. I don't want my son to be cringing at the sight of me, or at the books.

The more I charge for tuition, the more stressful I am. Reason: pressurized to ensure the child perform to justify my fee. :nailbite: School teachers charge much more but you can get a good tutor (if not better) even if he/she is not NIE trained or a school teacher. (like me) :siam:

Thanks , tutor mum.


I did hire someone that is non nie trained , to save cost but it didnt work out for my child.

So, no choice , have to go for something else and try out.

Didn’t send ds1 (in P3) to tuitions, coach him at home since his results are still ok. With his current school homework load and CCA, think it will probably tire him out with tuition classes.


However, I think might send him to tuition or motivational classes during his P5 or P6 years just to ensure he gets the last push…

[icygal37]

Yes. I agree too.


Its really varies among individual.

Some prefer to study alone while some need one to one guidance but there are also child who learn better in groups.

As a parent, we have to observe and understand what environment of learning suit your child best.

Phew.........that's what happened to me recently and it sets me seriously thinking of sending my DS to an enrichment centre too. Maybe we do not have the right skills to impart the knowledge?

i think we should supervise their progress in studies, and not let the tuition center/tutor do it.
