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

Which centre still charging full fee?

Anyway, just my opinion. I have printer at home, I don’t mind printing even though money is indeed tight for my family right now. I am thinking of whoever is that pitiful staff who “needs” to report to work at the tuition center, just to print out stacks and stacks of worksheets to mail out. When govt tells us all to WFH unless absolutely necessary. Is printing documents for customers really essential that you need to risk catching Covid when commuting to work? :?[/quote]

Still have. Just that when others do not mention, we are not aware. Perhaps the bigger players are the ones who will bother to provide the extra touch. Smaller ones couldn’t be bothered.

I can’t remember the name of the tuition centre that my colleague mentioned. Vividly remember that she said the centre specialises in Math and Science tuition only, very popular among IP and JC students because owner/ teachers were previously teaching in a popular IP school.

Yes, there are def still centers charging full fees. Even though I know only a handful, there are so many tuition centers in Singapore, surely there are more than this handful that I know, that are still charging full fees.

Some centers dont have the scale or simply dont want to.

can ask your tuition centre, is it alternate empty seat arrangement, that type ?

probably, tuition centre need to re-arrange seating arrangement, to space out the tables and chair

Not sure how strict is this “social distancing” at enrichment centres. Will MOH enforcement officers conduct checks at the tuition centres just like how they are checking on those companies and fine them for non-compliance?


All of us know how small the tuition classrooms are. It is not easy to implement social distancing.

Any tuition centre confirmed they are reopening this weekend? Mine says since need to check out the details and may still need to apply permit etc.. if tuition resume then CCA should also resume right?

many tuition centre are still cautious, just as parents are cautious

even though newspaper said this Friday (19 June) go ahead to start Phase 2, however, a number of them said they prefer to resume online tuition, at least until end of this month June, alternate HBL lesson.

Come July next month,

1) if parents prefer F2F (eg. those graduating cohort 2020), they will convert back to F2F, since these is what customers want.

2) however,
if there are other parents who prefer to stick to online (eg. those Non-graduating cohort), and
after consult opinion from rest of the remaining students inside the same tuition class and if they do not mind stick back to online, since no need to waste time travelling up and down, to and fro to centre, because travelling inside public bus / MRT, can also catch potential risk of virus, then will continue online, even though can have F2F

so, is not compulsory that everything \"die die\" must go back to F2F.
it depend on how majority of students inside your tuition class feel, because many are still afraid of \"asymtomatic\" virus

Hi, our timeslot at the CL tuition centre has always had less than 10 students, so we had been able to space out with 1m distance between students. Come Phase2, ours plans to resume in-centre classroom lessons After this weekend.

Just thinking, if you have paid for a discounted lesson price for June (or for the whole tuition term until July for eg), because it has gone online, even if they can do the spacing and all, would they move it back to classroom?


I haven’t received info but I will think they will stick to online until it is time for the next billing.
