He is last in his class and it not even the top class

I am curious. Was this result unexpected, that is, previously had he been doing well? If so, what has changed?

If not, you are running out of time to help him. Whilst I think private tuition on a one-to-one basis is strongly advisable, and perhaps essential, you should also plan a proper timetable for revision and actively supervise him; after all, private tutors will, normally, only see your child for 1.5 hours a week per subject. Consultation with school teachers, together with attendance at remedial/supplementary classes, is a must.

Hi parents,

My daughter is weak in Chinese comprehension even after enrolling her into tuition classes. I will like to find a Chinese Tutor who can teach 1 to 1 for her. Preferably can travel to the East. Please advice. Thanks

Hi weiweigrace

I have a friend who teaches Chinese 1to 1 and is good in teaching comprehension segment. As a Chinese Tutor myself, I can say that she is able to grasp the student's weaknesses rather well and target on those. You may like to contact her. Thanks and all the best for your dd

Can you pm me her contact? Thanks

Hi kiasufoo,

Can you pm her contact as well? My gal is weak in the comprehension element as well. Most of the marks I noted were lost in this area. Thanks!

Stress FT said that they should have done/completed revision for P3 & P4 Science topics. My dd has not started on any revision yet

mine here is nowhere near completion of lower block science.
after doing away with science tutor, i schedule one day for lower block and another day for upper block. she can get confused with topics like materials and matter...so i have to go into each topic individually.
since it's considered holiday, i still schedule revision but not a full turbo one or else i will go bonkers.

Science teacher said dd still weak in p4 and p5 concept based on CA result. Spent last 2 days reading up.

Teacher also suggested I buy assessment books for dd.
dd doesn't do assessment books at all leh. I guess really insufficient practice

daughter’s science ca paper wasn’t tough…open ended section could have been better if she put in effort…as usual the ‘explain your answer’ kind of question pulled her down.

I think I am a slacker hahaha, never plan any revisions at all. Hubby said holidays, let them relax. Gal had tons of school hw which she hasn’t got started yet. Some classmates took the opportunity to go on short vacations too.


Just wondering how to deal with slacker kids?

My only weapon....nag into submission. Else take away what's important, aka phone/computer use until work is done.
