Hi, i am looking for an English and Maths tuition teacher, preferably female MOE teacher. We are staying in the west, please pm me…

Not necessary. Try not to stress the child by having tuition in Primary 1. Let him/her adapt to the surroundings of the school and find his/her interests in the subjects.

Saw last nite ch8 programme about the psle tscore changes… one expert suggested that parents should find out what challenges the child is facing in his studie in order to help him …so tuition may not be the solution.

This is quite true for my friends' kids. They went for tuition but no improvement and some friends recommended her a prog which can help them .

for p1, what is important is the ability to read and understand.

phonics is essential to learn.

My child problem is she could read but she can’t understand, thus unable to do problem sums. Please advise how to train her to understand what is the questions asking about.

OK with Eng Compre?

Underline key words. Use abbreviations for names. Use manipulatives. Role play (i.e. act out the story sum). Draw models. Translate to mother tongue if necessary (!), but not a long term solution beyond P2. Buck up on Eng.
