Comparing Enrichment Programme versus Private Tutor

[24hr-mum]

whc is better? for science

[enreachlearningcentre]

Either suits, depending on the needs on the student.

If tuition is needed due to falling behind of a subject, one-to-one would be perfect.

However, if tuition is to supplement & encourage more practice on the subject, group tuition can further enrich the students' learning.

My boy prefers the one to one for private but the interaction for group. We like the focus on weak areas for private and the interaction and peer pressure in group. So how?

Have encountered many parents who put their children in both private And group tuition; like my dear nus professor. It's partly for security; in case the tutor is not able to make it on any week. Another is the exposure to different material in order to broaden the child's exposure. I guess private tuition will be really good for getting customized help on the child's specific weaknesses

Especially for science, sharing & discussion that arise from a group tuition will benefit learning.

For eg, one student may offer a thought that the other does not consider. When a teacher opens a topic & the students interact to deliver a complete answer, such active learning is the best way to absorb knowledge.

Hope this point of view helps!

hi all, im planning to send my boy for tuition.

However, im not sure whether tuition centre or home tuition is better.
Any advise please?

[jedamum]

son said both have their own strengths.

i like tuition centre’s reliability and notes and class interactions.
i like tutor’s flexibility and lesson customisation.
if your kid is not too weak, the next best option is to try to get into small group tuition centre that is taught by their star tutor or owner.
if your kid is weak, a good tutor should be better.

i see. His math results are always in the 60-70 range.

I think i will try looking for tuition agencies to find a good tutor for him.
Thanks jedamum!

i agree that both has its advantages & disadvantages.


depending on how your son is able to concentrate when in tuition centre, but on the other hand, encourage them to open up & discuss with the peers.

Congra all mummies,


Our DS n DD have finally complete one of the hurdle in life. Hah now I worried for my younger daughter. Can all parents give me your best opinion and advise as to private or group tuition you think can help the kids achieve better result. I know it will depends cos different child develop in their own way some cannot focus well in group so need individual attention. However I feel for longer term commitment and teaching material wise group will be a better choice cos the better teacher are usually engage by the reputable agency or would have setup their own Enrichment Ctr to enjoy economic of scale. Correct me if I am wrong.

Please mummies n all kiasu reader children feel free to share your valuable feedback. Thanks a lot.
