Tuition centers should not force parents to accept digital learning at full fees.

Our piano tr suspended lessons starting today. Very fortunate when I shared about my concerns on continuity of practices, tr offered video conferencing to check on their progress and get them to take down notes and prepare a video of them playing their pieces in performance standard to send to tr. Tr will check in on them similarly next week too.
All the above for no charge. We are so grateful -
DPM Heng just announced a blanket 75% of salary support (up to $4600). Landlords are also mandated to pass property tax rebates down which will amount to about 1 month of rental. So if this whole thing passes in a month or assuming that the government continues this support if situation continues, the business takes no business risk? Parents are on the other hand expected to continue to pay 100% fees (whether tuition center, preschool or school buses)

Some tuition centres claimed that they still need to pay rent to landlord so they still need to charge parents at 100% for e-tutoring. No discount at all. This is ridiculous.

Those who can adapt to the changes will survive. With the fierce competition, those who can't will be eliminated.

Consumers are quick to find the best deal with feedback from social platforms.

Beside tuition centre, private tutors are also using online platform.
can someone please share are the fees still the same or there is a discount? thanks -
Hi,
Anyone with similar experience to share on Stalford Learning Ctr? They do not offer discount/rebates. They've combined 2 x P6 classes (~ 60 students) and conduct the lessons (~2 hrs) online via Zoom. :rant:
The centre is chasing us for May payment.

No standardized rule implemented within the tuition industry, so far.

1)
Some tuition centre(s) do give discount to students for \"online\" lessons, while others do not, that is, remain at fixed price. Hence, best to inquire first, before sign-up for any tuition centre.
2)
For individual private tutors,
normally tend to remain at fixed price, regardless of whether online or \"face-to-face\" -

Did they say why they combined the 2 classes? Was it because one tutor quit?

~60 students in a Zoom class is NOT conducive at all. If u notice in Zoom, if the hosts displays their computer screen to show PowerPoint or tablet scribblings, then effectively the tutor can only see max 4-5 kids’ faces at a time? Cannot see the rest of the class, how to gauge their attention? In Zoom, basically if the participant does not “talk” at all, the face of the participant is not even visible at the front screen of the host or any other participant.
What tutors would usually do for big classes is just present a one-way lecture. And then allocate 5 minutes for Q&A (if they even bother). If that’s what’s happening to your P6 class then not much difference from watching video right.
Depends on what you expect to get out of the P6 lessons. It’s quite hard to switch to another centre at this “late” stage so close to PSLE. But if your money hasn’t been worth it for the online lessons then why continue. -

Mandated to pass rebates from landlords to tenants already. No more excuses.
