Any P1 kids having tution/enrichment?

[Pen88n]

I used to think and still think maybe the best way for working parents is to have a governess for the kids (like olden days). The governess can then be in charged of the kid's teaching and learning, homework, etc. But where to find such governess? Maybe can consider offering such service :lol:

For english - you can consider centres in East point at Simei like Morris Alle or British council in Tampines Mall. For Maths, there is Maths arena in tampines. all these centre are pricey.

Have you tried Maths arena? Which programme did you enrol? Is it good?

recently someone has been advertising to hire a governess.

However, their expectations are so high, with long working hours but very little pay (gross 2k). They are looking for degree holder!

Degree holder gross 2k might as well give tuition - most probably earn more with more flexi hours. Probably possible if they consider degree holder from maybe Philippines??

Anyone bought ‘My Home Tutor Educational Series’ for your kid? Is it good

[happy_learner]

Hi All,


No, I didnt buy the my home tutor series cos i thought doing assessment books will probably be much better. at least my children will get to practise on paper like in their tests and exams. Looking at the computer probably wouldn't help them - it feels more like watching tv...

To janice_0950: my boy is currently under a math home tutor, and so far so good with his results. but i live quite far from tampines so i'm not sure if his tutor will want to go to your place for tuition. i can give you the tutor's contact if you want. otherwise, you could request for a tutor from a tuition agency like what i did. but be careful with the tuition agency that you request from cos many are not doing a proper job. tuition centres are so expensive...hope this helps.

Never tried before as it is far from my house. So, logistic problem.

Hi,

Do you mind if you could pm me this math home tutor that you have?

Hi,

I personally think that nowadays, parents are both working parents where we would like to coach our children as well but sometimes, we might not be in the better position to provide the best guidance in terms of picking up the correct language.

Overall, as most of the parents are well educated but how much you can pass the knowledge as the education is changing every years.

Moreover, it is not just Singapore is impact by this education trend, you can look around for the other countries. The kids are also impact by the education.

Yes, I agreed that kids does not need so much enrichment that would impact their development but in the way, it is also one of the style to make them to interact with people. It would depends on the perspective view of the parents.
