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

Am still on the lookout for 1-to-1 tutors though! Recommendations please.

Hi. Try speaking with the centres?
We were prepared to forfeit the paid up lessons, but, after communicating several times as the CBreaker measures developed, we were eventually refunded our deposit plus paid up lessons within a week of withdrawal. -

Did you withdraw because you are not happy with the online lessons? Or that there were no online lessons?

For sec sch.. not sure if they do this for their pri sch section. It’s a supposed premier tuition centre but I won’t name names here.
Which center is this? Is it for sec sch or jc? Expecting pre school and pri school students to do consultations would be too much I suppose....
Its not only about the consults.. it’s also forcing students to undergo, n parents to pay for 2 week lessons in a week during holidays. Some parents want to rest from having lessons too.. What if we aren’t in a circuit breaker n truly away for vacation for 2 out of 4 weeks? Must explain n explain y u can’t join them during holidays n y u also can’t join their replacement lessons when u come back... -

Ah now I know which one. At first I didnt know cos I thought they charge a bit lesser than $300/4 lessons. Anyway I just checked that they do it for their pri school students too. Also, I am reading that this arrangement is for the Circuit Breaker only, so for normal school holidays, if you are away, you wont have to explain etc. So anyway, not only do you not get a discount, you even need to pay doubly fast, like instead of paying for and getting 4 lessons in May, you pay for and get 8 lesson in May?

Then it is up to parents to change ship.pipiyap\" post_id=\"1974783\" time=\"1589027194\" user_id=\"54922:
JIang education looks the worst among Chinese enrichment, replacing all classes with pre-recorded online training and no discount, rebate on the fees paid nor follow up classes. A lot of complaints online at ipetition that the general manager ignores parents’ feeeback.
After many parents complained about this centre and if the centre still Not \"Listening\" to parents' feedback, ignored or brushed aside their feedback, don't regret too late if one day realized many students had withdrawn. Be humble, \"listen\" to what these parents truly want for their children need for Chinese, be open and communicate with these parents constructively, so as to ease their worry and to calm down these parents. That should be the way. Open communication build trust
Parents won't pay thousands of $ per school academic Term, just for their children to listen to some pre-recorded video play-back, or parents unable to exit properly, when there are so many direct competitors around nowadays offering Chinese tuition, especially in this cut-throat highly competitive Internet online businesses technology world, at the mere click of a button or hyperlink. Parents can easily \"shop-around\" online readily, for another better alternative Chinese tuition centre -
Sorry to digress but has anyone done a calculation of the tuition fees you paid since young to say JC level? Its even more costly than a 4-year local uni course? Returns on investment not really there leh. Heart pain leh.That’s why I dont send my kids to tuition. Cos to me, w or without tuition, the end game is there. I dont think tuition will super boost my kids into president scholar or those overseas scholars calibre.

I have friends telling me not to waste money on enrichment. But I think they are lucky in that their kids are motivated learners and they have the time to guide. Parents guidance is also a form of enrichment. They really study the syllabus and guide as if they are the ones taking PSLE!

Whether or not it is worthwhile, depends on what you want to achieve with the tuition. Same like if I spend a lot on piano, what’s the ROI?

If the end is President Scholar, and if tuition is not going to get there, then it is not worthwhile.
If the end is something else, and if tuition is going to get the kid there, then it is worthwhile. -

For enrichment I take it as cost for acquiring a new skillset. So it's ok to pay top dollars.
