All About Finding & Evaluating Tutors

[weatherbee]

For me, it is through recommendation.

elishatan:

Btw, is group or private tuition better? which did you all choose?

My son has one to one tuition for math and group tuition for science. So far, his math and science results are quite consistent so I will just let him continue with them.

I too am going through the process for finding a private tutor for my child. There are so many agencies. Arranged for one and she didn't show up last minute!


Would greatly appreciate any parents here who would recommend a private tutor to us. My son is in P3 and we are looking for a tutor to help him particularly in English, if can cover Science and Maths subsequently will be great as well.

I can teach English to your child. I have 4 yrs experience. My students have grown with me and watching them improve in school has been very satisfying. Do let me know if you are interested!

I believe word of mouth is very important. I was recommended to this place called junior wonders next to hougang mall by my child’s school teacher. Apparently, that place is managed by an ex teacher from Sengkang primary.


I was looking for a home tutor, one with a degree and preferably a school teacher. But the good ones all charge at least $50 per hour per subject. I decided to try this place out for group tuition and my child has been there since then. The tutors are all ex or current school teachers with degrees. So qualifications was no problem at all. Best part is, because they are all trained teachers, they know how to handle kids with all sorts of personailties.

I think just like my problem at first


my Daugther now also Sec 4 is a very fast learner while my boy in P6 now is a little bit slow they are really different from each other.

My Daugther is the one choosing her tuition Centre we hopped I think 6 to 8 time on different tuition centre as she always said tutor not good i cannot learn anything, the thing the tutor is teaching I already know, she doesnt feel challanged and dont feel like learning anything.

While my boy on the other hand dont tell me anything so its hard for me to decide if he has the right tutor. And is he progeressing. I solved all of this with the help of the tutors.

But one thing I noticed is that from all the centres we went to one thing that catch my attention is the Tutors Profile. Who is the tutor teaching my Child, how will he conduct lesson, what are his/her specialization, what is the reputation of the centre, how long has the company (if they have branches) has started.

This are some of the Points im looking and considering when looking for a tuition centre.

Tutors to me are very important, as they will be the one Helping your child develop and do well
