Is it necessary / essential for secondary level students to go for tuition or enrichment ?


Any parents with secondary school children like to comment on this ?

Any form of teaching is tuition.

A good tutor may changed one's life

dd is so up to her neck with her various school projects.


her one week holiday was spent mostly on her projects and i got to dragged her out of hte house.

i dont think she has time to revise her work.

anyway, with the current workload + cca, i really cant find any free slot for more tuition. she is just doing english and chinese and i think i might need to stop one cos she really needs 25 hr each day.

i cant even buy her any assessment books.

what about your sec 1 kid? is he/she up to her neck with school project and has no time for tuition/revision. are the weekends burnt?

:x :x :x

My ds also has quite a few projects and homework, but not up to the neck yet. So far he has 2 days of cca but weekends generally free. So far, weekends, he has violin lessons. He has even taken up swimming on his own and will start science tuition soon. In the weekdays evenings, he may take out his assessment books to do some. So generally, life is still good.

Hi! can pm me the science tuition's result so far? In fact Im looking for pure chem & Bio as my dd is not so strong in it.

Like to hear from our parents here…


Is it sufficient to engage a local undergrad to tutor sec 4 IP students on a 1-1 basis ? Or is it necessary to engage ex-teacher for that subject? What are the things to consider? TIA

Your kid need not hve to sit for O-level so no need to use a big gun and burn a hole in your pocket unless situation demands it.

You can use a local undergrad which is more than sufficent. The following are the pointers:

1. For science subjects, use undergrad from science falculties rather than engineering.Regarding maths, may also engage undergrads from business schools.
2. For lang and art subjects, engage undergrads from arts and social studies majoring in the respective subjects.
3. Check that these undergrads had score distinctions in their respective subjects at A-level.

You need to monitor your kids progress and ensure the results have shown a marked improvement. Tuition rate is approx $30/hr.

At yr 5 IP, the rate is approx $35/hr for undergrads and $100/hr for graduates of well-known unis.
