Hi,



First of all, i will weigh if that is necessary to send P1 gal for one to one tuition. If her school work is still manageable, i don’t think it is necessary to have the tuition unless otherwise she just need a teacher/tutor to coach her as just to ensure that she is able to keep up with her work in school. Otherwise, i don’t even see the need to engage a tutor at such a young age. Honestly, i did not send my P2 gal for tuition when she is in P1. But she is coping well in her studies.

Secondly, nobody could guarantee that your kids are able to score well with a top scholar/teacher at such a rate. And do you guarantee that the teacher will not ask for a raise later on ?? $120/hr or $150/hr? Unless i am filthy rich now and i have no where to spent my $$, i will consider to engage them. Otherwise, i will not spent my $$ like this. This is all our hard earn $$ and savings. I have came across better tutors and ex teacher who is only charging at $25-$40/hr and they are also able to deliver the lessons very well too! It doesn’t mean you pay more, u get better quality teachers. And that also depends on the objective of your requirements for a teacher or tutor. But for me, i am looking not looking for quality but instead a trustworthy and more responsible educator . I don’t want crap tutor or teacher who always gives me tonne of excuses to cancel/postpone lessons or sucks attitude. Like i mentioned, this is depending on individual needs and objective. For me, $50/hr is a already a pinch and don’t talk about $100/hr. Just my 2 cents worth here…

My kids did not have tuition at such a young age but I have a bit of regret.

i feel that they do not how to pronouce the words well. This may have some impact later on on their study especially on their oral exam.

It's never too late to learn. Get them to watch more English shows and make it a point to pronounce all the words correctly in front of them.

As for the tutors who charge a lot, my cousin recently told me a story of one such tutor. His attitude was so bad that when she terminated him, he told her to \"watch out\" and said that she would \"regret it\". :nailbite:

Hi Susu2626,




Learning is never too late. I do agree with Mdm KOH. Get your kids to watch and read more story books. That will increase their spoken power. Kids gradually will pick up naturally when they reach a certain age. Try to communicate with them more in English but of course do not neglect on our mother tongue too!

Im looking for tutors for my P5 girl and have source for various Tuition agencies. But Im doubting the rates they quote. Full time tutor at $40/hr, is it reasonable? Do share the current rates of your child tutors

It depends on their experience, qualifications and if they are current school teachers, ex-school teachers, full-time or part-time. HTH.

[meinteel]

Most full time tutors are degree holders with a few years of experience therefore about S$40/hour. It is quite reasonable though you can definitely can find tutors at cheaper rates.

[elderflowertea]

I am a full time tutor with 5 years of experience. I only charge $25/hr for tuition at my house and $30/hr for tuition at the student’s house. However, as my schedule is rather tight, I can only travel to student’s house in Bukit Panjang area.

:slapshead: hi parents here!!!


I would like to enquiry that do you all comes across any home tuition fee are collecting @ the 1st lesson? Which the tutor requested. :slapshead:

If so, what do you thing about it? :siam:
Well, my personally think that is so weird and quite insecure for the parents side. There are a lot of points as in :-
what if the child not suit with the teachers'?
what if the teachers' run off?
what if no improve?
well, doesn't make sense? Isn't?

please kindly, share your comments..........thanks in advance!!
