Daddy NIEtrainedTEACHER saying HI

[mrswongtuition]

NIE-trained teacher, I share the same sentiments as you regarding 'award chasing'. That's why I opted for a change of school this year.


My focus in school now is purely academic, I've requested to be taken off admin duties which makes me lose passion, & it has also taken alot of unnecessary stress away at the same time.

Teaching students privately in my personal time has been very fulfilling & being able to interact with the students more, seeing their improvements is more fulfilling than writing reports to gain 'awards' which may not truely reflect the students' achievements & learning.

BTW, can PM me where/what you are teaching? Can refer students to you if level/subject/location is right.

I used to work in an organisation that was obsessed with chasing after awards. I know that it involves a lot of admin/paper work. :faint: I can't imagine how teachers find time to teach and do all these other non-teaching stuff. I really do not envy teachers.

[NIEtrainedTEACHER]

I agree with you Kuzco… I dont envy them either.

A life of an educator is always hard…and that is why educators are the unsung heroes of our society.

not trying to praise myself and my fellow educators

[NIEtrainedTEACHER]

Hi kayden,


For me I believe that a life as an educator should not be hard as you are doing something noble…but usually, the schools - once again not the education system - makes the life of an educator hard.

Teaching is not hard when one has passion. It’s the award chasing that’s hard!

Hi there everyone. It is fantastic to find parents whom are actively involved in their child's education.


As an educator and a parent, I also share the same concerns with all of you. But in any case, if there is anything that I can help you all with, do not hesitate to pm me or reply to my postings.

Welcome to KSP. So since you are a Teacher (Future) is there any special phase for you? You do not have to stress like the P1 Registration!!

Now teaching in my centre with some of my ex-colleagues. Also doing home tutoring.


Find it more fulfilling as a teacher cause I feel like one and not like an administration executive...

Hi, I'm new to this forum. Anyway, after looking at this forum for some time, I decided to join in to share and discuss anything with regards to children's education.

Can anyone advise me on how to start tutoring as a career?


To provide some background info, I have been a part-time tutor for the past 8 years, provideing tutoring to children from Pri 4 to Sec 4 on subjects such as Science and Maths.

And I have found teaching and coaching fulfilling through these years…

Although I have a full-time job but found myself not really motivating as compared to teaching because at the end of the day, I can see my achievements as reflected on the children’s report cards.
