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). -

Erm I threaten to sack his tutor?
his tutor is actually very patient nnice. I don't want son to take this for granted n need him to show us some results as he is now stuck at 18-20/30 for compo.
lol. This is short term only ... Hugging Buddha's leg.
but thiinking long term if we can manage Chinese by ourselves.
