Recently I was looking for a good tutor for my P3 DD. Then I come across one tutor that charge $60/hr , 1.5hr each lesson total $90. Lesson at tutor home. Its very EX$$. If group lesson $30/hr x 2 per lesson,is it Ex$$ too??
Please advice.
Any good maths teacher that can teach Onsponge Maths?? -

$60/hour is considered the higher end and is usually charged by a experienced MOE-trained. While it can be at the tutor's home, it should be individual tuition rate especially since its lower primary.$30/hour likewise for a lower primary student is high but not uncommon. It really depends on what is the qualification, experience and popularity of the tutor himself/herself.Recently I was looking for a good tutor for my P3 DD.

Onsponge Maths as far as I can see (after checking the website, worksheets and solutions), is just a fancy name given to existing methods of solving mathematics. I learnt in more than 10years back when it was still in the experimental stage. Frankly, most tutors would be able to conduct such mathematics lessons and don't require \"specialist\" to do it. -

I agree. $30 per hour for P3 group tuition is high. It's still acceptable if the group size is small, but if the group is large, I don't think it's worth it.

I've heard feedback from my students regarding expensive group tuition. They do not benefit much as the teacher simply assigns them homework and doesn't really help each student.
You need to check that the group size is small and that the teacher is going to give each student enough attention. -

Hi,
A tutor quoted me $100/hr for a subject. Wondering if this is the market rate?

If sure can get all A* or all A1, etc, and if you are rich, of cause can consider. But it is steep.
