I want to send my son for tution but don't know good one.

I have seen the same site before too. Not sure if the tutor comes home to teach or the child has to go to the centre. I guess this is the only tution where our Indian children can go to for tamil.

Umar Pularvar has classes mainly for sec sch students for those taking higher mother tongue and tamil literature.

I thought Tamil can be earn more marks,but is opposite.Why?
My son in P3.So how about ur kids study Tamil without tuition?or hire home tutor?

oh, my ex-colleague used to send her daughters to Queenstown CC for Tamil tuition. Recently I also saw nearby CC holding such classes. Maybe can check with nearby CCs.


Not sure whether its SINDA or UPTC but I have seen a banner o/s SINDA building for Tamil classes, starting from Kindy level if I remember correctly.

Thank you for this info. We can at least check. For my 2 boys P3 and P5 no tamil tution as couldn't find a proper centre. Honestly, these days the tamil teachers are charging a high fee to teach tamil. My nephew has got one current sch teacher who teachers tamil once a week, 4 times a month with a fee of $320/- Not every indian parent can afford such high cost.

Hi All!


I checked with CINDA and UPTL, They don't have Tamil lessons.
For UPTL,they have for secondary school kids. :sad:

My son's school T advised me to send tutiton.

SmartMummy,


Which level is your son in? My dd’s teacher has been saying the same since P4/5… i have a Chinese-speaking friend who opted for her twins to do Malay (cos she is ethnically a Malay)

she is very hands-on in coaching her sons and one of the activities she has planned is ‘learning journey’ to various spots in SG conducted only in Malay.

I may adapt her idea for my boys, during the hols, especially for the youngest who is going to P1 next year. He grew up speaking only in Tamil but once starting nursery, the MT got totally obliterated ;((

oh, another idea- we love playing Taboo. I plan to adapt it in Tamil so that my children are more aware of the vocabulary. so far i can only think of:
- football
- swimming

Any other ideas to share?
