Bukit Timah Plaza #4 there's a pushcart permanently selling. Blk 275 Bukit Batok East Ave 4 'Very Good Copy' stationary shop sells them too. Reminder: Primary 6 Chinese this year change textbook syllabus. 2019 papers are based on previous syllabus. Unless we teachers re-set them personally.

Thanks for the replies. What is the market price for exam papers? Say for all subjects including HCL and for both SA1 and prelims.

It's about $18/pack. If you buy from kiasuexampapers.com, it's $8 to download softcopy, you print on your own.

Hi, need opinion on this.


Ds told me that he feel that the Maths tuition is very boring. The tutor is not engaging and merely just teach and teach. He asked me whether it is possible to stop.
At this point in time with only 7 months to PSLE, i am rather nervous to change tutor. I asked myself whether I can teach since i have been coaching him all these years. There are some problem sums that I am not sure how to do them. But most of them I can do it. If I were to teach, what materials is good to instil the concepts?

Is it ok to be honest with the tutor and tell her to make the lesson more interesting or engage more with ds?

Does your son's Math results improve with the tutor's coaching? If no, then better change tutor, no more time to waste. If yes then I think it warrants keeping the tutor. Maybe you can check with your son why he feels the tuition is boring. Is it because the questions are too easy, not stimulating enough for him? Or are the questions too difficult that he feels lost? Then feedback to the tutor, hopefully she can adjust her teaching methods to suit your son better.

Is the priority PSLE for your household? If the tutor's objective is the same, she is preparing your child for PSLE, your child should share same goal, whether interesting or not. Set objective and achieve, Focus on Goal and not on process.

find out,
which Maths topic or concept(s), your son don't understand ?
Get the tuition Tr to explain to him the concepts. Is it because his fundamental is shaky, not firm ?
Better still, get him to read up fundamental Theory from his own school's Maths textbook, go through the Worked examples / solution inside the textbook himself, for that particular topic he dont understand.

If he still don't get it, after reading up Theory fundamental, chip in your own effort to teach him, Or
engage his primary school classroom Maths Teacher to explain to him, by getting your son to book an appointment, ask Tr when he can see her (him) in the staffroom after school dismissed, until he can fully understand, what he does not understand

if he still don't understand, after u teach him, after his tuition Tr teach him, plus after his school Tr teach him,
then is time to be honest with yourself, analyse : is he having any learning difficulty, in Maths ?
What is it, that he still don't understand, despite a few people helping him ?
Where is the root of his problem ?
go & tackle the source, root of the problem

is this tuition Tr first time u hired her, or have previously changed a few other tuition Maths Tr before, but still didn't work out ?

For P6 level students,
Primary schools conduct remedial lessons in small group, for students who need help. Your son on his own initiative, can approach his school Maths Tr to join, so as to speed up clarification of All (any) doubts that he has. These lessons are useful, because aim (target) by primary school Tr, to help students as much as they can.
The good thing is, as it is being conducted in small group, Tr can pay attention to the P6 pupil's weakness.

Also, find out how your son learn, best
Is he a
- Visual learner, understand things better through the use of picture / graph ?

- or an Auditory learner? Learn things better, through hearing info ?

- or a Kinesthetic learner ? Learn things better, by engaging through activity, to grasp concepts easier ?

Engage the right tool / strategy / technique accordingly, to help him as much as possible , for the last 5 months. Now is fast approaching end February, Psle Oral begin August
