        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.

                  If every subject go for private + group doubt the poor child will have any enjoyment in his/her childhood. I actually hesitant to send for tuition but looks like not possible cos the school teacher did not teach enough but expect the kids to know everything. Advise please I am still struggling with private or group. The problem with Enrichment ctr their teacher come and go how can the kids benefit right ? Even private also cannot ensure the good teacher stay cos of family commitment and some after a while no morale liao.

                    Generally private tuition is more effective than group tuition as there is 1-1 focus on the student. Hence it is typically more expensive than group tuition. You should choose full time private tutors if you are concerned about long term commitment. All the best! 😉

                        Both types of tuition for same subject or both combination?

                        both types for maths, sci and eng... so 3 subjects... only chi is not required...

                        i treat the group tuition as a supplementary to the sch lessons... u know nowadays syllabus in sch is just touch and go... so i choose to go for group tuition where the tutor teaches everything again in detail..

                        as for home tutor, tats for going thru challenging ones, also to reinforce weaker areas...
