Too Much Tuition

[shirley.020816tamzil]

I think it's a bit too much. Maybe can target the really weak ones, not sure how much he can take when it gets to P6 when there are more school work/project.

What would be better (on both the child and the parents) would be to only let the children have tuition when they don’t understand a certain topic.


Then just have individual tuition until the child understands that particular topic and stop it after that.

Most of the time, having so much tuition would just be a waste of money and children may get overly stressed out for no reason.

Let the children try to study by themselves first and, in the process, let them be more independent.

If not, when they get to higher levels of education, you can’t possibly expect them to have tuition for every single subject.

Also, like the saying goes: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."

Too much tuition would cause your child’s social life to be almost non-existant, denying them the chance to improve the necessary social skills.

We wouldn’t want them to turn out to be anti-social bookworms right?

Anyone have any good tution teacher to recommend. Need one that can teach EMS. More of to provide guidance to areas of difficulties. My son is now P4 and I’m staying at the East area.

Just two-cents worth of my opinions,


I’m a p6 girl taking my PSLE this year.

Im taking EMS and Maths Strategies classes at my tuition centre, 3 days per week.

Mon-Eng and Maths Strategies
Tues-Maths
Fri-Science

After exams,I will not have tuition for two weeks as my tuition centre wants to give us a break, however that means i will have to replace 8 lessons before the break so that means juggling up to 8 lessons per week and 16 lessons for two weeks.(if you get what i mean…)

However,I do not feel stressed or whatsoever.I feel that tuition is all dependant on the tutor and tutee. If the tutor is one that engages the class along the lessons, but the tutee is not interested, there is no point at all.

I’m speaking from a student’s perspective, and I do enjoy my classes alot as I’m fortunate enough to have a tutor that is fun and engaging and will explain until you get it.

Too much of tuition in one day,especially if that’s the child’s weak subject(s), might really seem too much for a child to take.
