      Finding the right tutor is very important. Changed my ds's tutor a few times when he was in P4. One was even a school teacher from a reputable school in the west. Luckily, I was able to get another teacher from the same school in Term 4 that year. Had to travel to the tutor's house as tutor conducts 1-to-1 lessons at home. but it was worth the effort. In just three months, my ds managed to show improvement in composition writing and grammar. I was happy as his foundation in English was rather weak. He was able to go to the top class in P5 after being in an average class in P3 and P4.


      My DS has just sat for the PSLE. He found the Oral and Composition components particularly easy this year as his tutor had provided customised notes on many Oral topics and one of the topics was tested on the day of his examination. Also made him do many compositions that cover a wide range of topics. Many vivid descriptions and writing techniques were used. MY DS was also made to do newspaper cuttings. My DS's English improved from about 60 to 75. It took time but it was worth the effort to pay for a committed and experienced tutor.
      Hi, could I have the contact of this tutor? Does the tutor travel to the pupil's house?

        Realised that the tutor has set up her own centre. Could I please have the address as I live in the central area? Need to know if it is accessible. Thank you.

                        If anyone is interested, I have the Usborne Phonics Book Set (12 books) for SGD59 and the Usborne Very First Reading slipcased set (15 books)http://www.usborne.com/catalogue/catalogue.aspx?id=4618 for SGD89. Brand new. Phonics book set is great for learning how to read. The Very First Reading gradually increases in difficulty level with each book, so it allows for more confident reading for the child. Can send you sample pages by email if you wish. Email me at [email protected] if interested lar.
