[/quote]For Dec holiday, whether have a break or not, it is base on your arrangement each other. I would like the tutor continue to take tution except anyone has a holiday trip.Is it norm that students usually take a break in Dec holidays, no tuition ?
For me, I have found many tutors before, nobody asked one mth notice. This is my first time heard from you. For my dd's drawing & piano, almost stopped tution with zero notice. Mostly is one week or 4 lessons notice.lizhi:
[quote=\"hl124273\"]Hi Lizhi,
Yeah, exactly. Do you know if it is the \"standard\" to give one month's notice to private tutors if you do not wish to continue their service ?
There is no black and white agreement unlike with tuition centers or enrichment clasese whereby you ack and sign during enrollment.
I didn't give her zero notice in that sense, I gave her one week's notice whch inlcude 4 lessons together for both gals.
Anyway, as a teacher (tutor), should be responsible for children. It is not advisable for thinging high charges first.
On the other hand, if the tutor has more experience and has reasons for higher charges, this tutor must not be found in the market. -
The current tutor commented that my gal missed lessons for 2 weeks in last Dec holidays and that was crucial for revision .. she brought this up when she said my gal forgot alot of P1 words. Again, to me, it implies that she could be thinking for herself (money) .. cos I remembered in June last yr, she herself took a 2 weeks break back to China too..

Oh, this tutor, how come like this, really has a naked money face. The revision lessons, why dont be done immediately after holiday? It is necessary to do revision or not, decided by you, not her! :xThe current tutor commented that my gal missed lessons for 2 weeks in last Dec holidays and that was crucial for revision .. she brought this up when she said my gal forgot alot of P1 words.

Aiyo, those who have the chance to collect the trophies in the past years are the lucky ones, now no hope for the new P1s liow....Yesterday my dd complain that it is not fair that P1 do not have SA1 and SA2. I told her too bad ... she missed it by 1 year
Ironically, she also miss the new school premise as well .. by one year
So for those P2 above that gotten trophies in P1, I guess the P1 trophies are very \"valuable\" now. They are now officially under the \"vintage collector's edition\" -

That tutor made my daughter feel top of the world when actually my gal doesn't understand hanyu pinyin at all :x All she did was sweet-talk my daughter, give her sweets and tell her she is clever. She disliked present tutor bcos REAL work is done and she ran out of the room 5 minutes into tuition. I had to explain several times that the prev tutor did not teach her properly and the importance of learning hanyu pinyin and understanding...not honey darling every Sat.Hi Janet,
I think I am facing the same situation here whereby the current tutor appears to be too \"money face\" to me. I have spotted mistakes before that she did - that itself gave me doubts .. however, my colleague's kid did well under her (but no longer with her) able to score very well in Chinese given non chinese background.
That tutor had the cheek to ask for $40 ($10 more) for teaching P1. -
Good thing you found out early adn got rid of the tutor .. did this tutor came thru recommendation ? proven track record ?

80% dropped to 50% :!: . No wonder during PTC, CL T told me purposefully to expose ds to P2 stuff. She warned me that PH's expectation, specifically starting from P5 HCL to be extremely high. Now I believe.
My girl used to score avg 16/20 for her P3 CL compo. This year (P4), her first 2 compo scored at 11/20 and 10/20 shocked me.

When a student's grade from the top class can dropped 30%, then I shudder to think what would happen to my own ds when his time comes ..... :faint:
