All About Market Rates of Private Tutors
-
want to ask.
if there are any service in the market where they charge to mark piece work of compo done.
ie if i intend to get my kid to do a or 2 compo a week, but prefer not to approach the sch teachers to help mark (for personal reasons) or engage a tutor, is there any service whereby i can send a scanned copy of my kid’s compo to be marked by professionals at a piecework cost? -
How do you define "professional"? Believe some tutors - current/ex school teachers & etc - might be willing to work out such a rate for you…Just have to call up the tutors that you pre-screened which would be going to be quite tedious on your part.
There are automated programs overseas but it would be irrelevant to our syllabus. Furthermore, some sites boost fully computerised markers instead of human markers. Computerised markers have so far failed to be able to distinguish good and bad essays, merely only looking out for errors made and the use of vocabulary and metaphors. -
Hi Oasis, have you tried Xuelin Learning Hub? Check them out! I have sent my P3 son and has improved tremendously. P2 SA2, 63% to P3 CA1,45/50. Both my P3 & P1 sons are always looking forward to going to their class! The teachers there are very passionate and the class size is very small. I understand that they do give 1-1 to students who need help initially but will integrate into the group class thereafter. My overall assessment is $$$ well spent!

Are the above 2 replies directed at my inquiry?
I am exploring engaging some one to mark my boy’s essay instead of hiring tutor as I am looking at possibility of coaching him myself .
additionally, is it reasonable to ask my tutor to mark our essay outside tuition hours with no payment? Exam period my boy is doing an essay a day so to wait for tutor to come in 7 days later, is a bit too late n we prefer that tutor focus on oral as oral exams come up first. -
Marking wise depends on the tutor’s level of responsibility and mind-set. Personally, I do mark my students work outside of class but I wouldn’t mark as many as 7 compositions in-between two classes.
Furthermore, do you really think it is helpful to ask your child do so many compositions every week? Compositions tests the creativity, maturity of the student’s thoughts and most important the mastery of the language itself. -
I am a newbie to Kiasu Parent, only mean to check out PSLE info but I chanced upon Xuelin's thread. I enroll my Pri 5 immediately & my experience with them is fabulous! :imcool:
Bellyhoney, I agree with you; my Pri 5 boy after attending 3 lessons with Wen Lao Shi, falls in love with Chinese when he dislikes the language so much. Remarkable! :rahrah: His CA1 has improved tremendously to 85% after 1 term. Wen Lao Shi has really encouraged & motivated him. My son doesn't want to miss her lesson at all! :rotflmao:
I also enroll my Pri 4 with Wen lao Shi too. Same comment. :rotflmao:
It's a pity, Wen Lao Shi doesn't take Pri 2 class. I have to enroll my no 3 is with another teacher.
Agreed, money well spend though they are really expensive, I don't mind paying when I see my children enjoying their classes. I just hope that they will continue their good work. Thumbs up, Xuelin! :rahrah:
My children are in the Bukit Timah branch: 64665400. They have another branch in Katong( I don't know the tel).
