[quote=\"mamona\"]89 views but no answer yet. Appreciate if some one suggest some tuition centre.

I know of a really good tutor from tuition centre @ Holland area. She's one of the best kept secrets, many high ability kids under her in my DS's school but parents kiasu or selfish, don't want to recommend. Slowly one by one quit own tuition and switch to her. After I sent my son to her, I see why the kids love her, very inspiring. Can pm u if you don't mind the travel.

Why so selfish? I am very willing to share my tutor.[/quote]Competitive lah. My DS's P4 form-teacher recommended her to us when my DS's Science score plunged in P5 SA1. When I took my son to the centre for tuition for the first time, I was very surprised to see a number of the high ability kids from his school there. I met a mother whom I had met briefly in DS's school. She told me not to recommend to people from the same school as our DC. It was really not that surprising she said that. Her kid is from GEP and she is always asking about other people's kids' exam marks. A highly competitive mother :slapshead:[/quote]

I know of many parents who do not like to recommend their tutors (if the tutor is good) to others. They will only recommend to parents after their kids have completed eg. PSLE.

I also know of parents who hide the fact that their children go to xxx tutor/ attending tuition centre

even those top of the class can also be kiasu.

my friend whose son P3 in a neighbourhood school this year told me this ...
during PMT (parents meet teacher session in June), the mother of this top boy in her son's P3 class ran after her quickly and asked, \"Mrs Chan, so which enrichment or tuition classes did your son attend, huh ? \"

my friend was quite irritated.
She told me, \"by right i should be asking her this qn where she send her son to - since her son is Top in class whereas mine only #3 in class. Anyway I didn't bother to reply her, just said that i'm busy and walked off after the PMT session.\" She said this kiasu mother is not Singaporean (foreigner), and she also asked the same qn to #2 boy's mum in the same class. (bec #2 quite close to my friend) Apparently, she asked because she was afraid that #2 or #3 (ie. my friend's son) one day may catch up with her son and replaced her son's #1 position in class.

I also met parents like that before too. My son top his class for science and some parents even called me to ask for the tutor's number. cause only 15 people passed for science and my son still can get 85.5. I just tell them who the tutor was. No point hiding, I believe in sharing.

Oooo.....tell me about it. I taught my niece's maths and science and because of her hard work, she always come in top. This partcular mother got to know who is her \"tutor\" and kept on bugging her for my hp #. And then when she called, damn difficult to shake her off. She even got the cheek to suggest her daughter to tag along my niece when i coach her. When i told her i am not a tutor loh....only her guardian. Buay paisei. FYI her DD is the top in the school cohort in during P4 & P5. So competitive! And she is not SXXX :siam:

It's fine if they dont share, but dont need to lie. Some parents even teach the kids to lie to their friends!!
