Udon:

Strange is why these tutors can deliver study technique to the child when come to 1-1.

And the child in school said that his/her teachers never teach any special technique....(not sure whether the child did not pay attention in class or the teacher's \"teaching skill\" fault)

Children spending half a day in school yet cannot understand what were the teachers teaching....
If we able to spend such high tuition fees (S$50/hr) to engaging ex-school or current teachers, then our children should not go to school and wasting their time since home tutor can do a better job than the school teachers and after all they're \"teachers\".

I strongly suspect teachers keep their 'weapon' or special skill for private tuition. Teachers are paid standard amount in school but paid many times more giving tuition.
I'm going to be shot for saying that but it is the truth.
