100% agree. Since I totally set my focus on PSLE, it doesn't matter to me if P1-2 has exams or not. And since I don't want to tio stress like the rest of the parents here, I certainly prefer that there is no exam during the said period.

Maybe php is rite. I only has stomach for only one exam .... PSLE. Haha

Then your must be having a real BIG stomach....

In order not to have a BIG stomach, I think exam cannot be cancelled, but it is best not to have homework. [/quote]Don't Worry, Bro Mark Always Claim He Has Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig Stomach (Physically) in ALL the Post ....

Hmmm... :? So unusual for this thread to dormant for a straight 8 hours. :lol:


May I check if a collar pin (such as the conduct pin, avid reader or cca pin) is lost, any chance of getting a replacement?

[quote=\"hl124273\"]Hi Janet,

Was the tutor good, as in having good track records of producing A/A star students ? I guess 40 for an hour is acceptable to me if the teacher is able to produce the results , but too bad, my current tutor insisted on 2x a week.

Hi hl124273,
I deleted contact of that prev tutor as I find she is not worth keeping...if she is good, I wouldn't get another tutor.

On the other hand, the new tutor spotted a mistake that the current tutor made, some chinese characters that my gal has written wrongly but was not corrected by tutor

[/quote]Hi hl124273,
My prev tutor didn't teach my daughter the proper way of learning hanyu pinyin :stupid: ...to her, as long as can read the sentence, my daughter knows when actually she doesn't understand what she is reading:x

My gal was so happy thinking she knows everything when actually she memorizes the format of the hanyu pinyin in textbook...for eg, in the textbook, it is 'ai ei ui'. But if write 'ei' on the paper, she doesn't know what it is. So the present tutor asked me to write each hanyu pinyin on flash card to teach her and not in sequence.

Hi,


This morning the current tutor ask me if I still want to let my eldest gal continue with her and omit my K1 ( both my gals have tutition with her) to lessen the cost .. but the quality is something that i have questions about now ..

Hi Janet, no problem I finally confirmed with the new tutor this evening. Wanted to terminate the services of this exsiting tutor this thursday ( i.e. to complete 2 more lessons before ending it ) but tutor didn't \"allow\" and said I must give one month notice and pay her the fee till the month end whether or not I want her service. I was a little taken a back honestly, because I was not aware of this \"policy\" but nevertheless, I will just continue till month end. In fact, the tutor told me I can stop her services after next week, but just pay her the full month fee.

On the other hand, the new tutor spotted a mistake that the current tutor made, some chinese characters that my gal has written wrongly but was not corrected by tutor .. also, my gal had a chance to do a comparison between the tutor versus the new tutor, and feedbacked that the new tutor bother to explain the mistake in comprehension, and guided her through reading the comprehension passage and making sure my gal understand the entire passage .. while the current tutor usually leave it to my gal to read the passage on her own and answer the questions, and if there are mistakes, she will provide the correct answer to my gal to write down (correction) which half the time did not provide explanation to my gal as to why the responses my gal gave were wrong ..

No explanation, just do the answers...even if she does many many excersises, but she does not learn much. :x This is 事倍功半.

Hi Janet, can share wat should b the proper way of teaching HYPY… I’m currently teaching ds the way I teach phonics… not sure if it’s effective… quite a task as he doesn’t speak much chinese… we are quite ‘potatoes’ in languages… so his mandarin is very accented… thus he cannot get the 4 tones of HYPY despite knowing the letters… any tips to share?

Actually if it's just rote training, giving assessment and marking, we ourselves as parents can do it.. I believe tutors have to take on the role of teachers, and be able to teach the child in an customised manner, fitting the child's learning style and weaknesses, to help the child learn.

If not, it is just revision n practice, then any parent, grandparent or domestic help can just supervise and mark with the answers fr the assessment books rite? :?

Usually kids have no problems with 1st and 4th tone, but mine has problems with all 4. Tutor asked me to write out each hanyu pinyin on a flash card...eg a, e, o, iu, u, y, w, ang, eng, ong. You may want to write some notes/pointers on the back of the card for yourself like 'a' pronounced as 'ah'. Hope this helps.
