Comparing Enrichment Programme versus Private Tutor
-
I find that private tutors are more effective as the tutors can focus solely on the child weakness on the subject.
-
For me, I send my child to Chinese group enrichment classes to allow the child to socialise with friends in Chinese setting. I also guide my child in Chinese and monitor progress closely. Children can behave differently in group setting and home setting. If the child is too weak in Chinese, better get intensive 1 to 1 tuition from reliable tutors.

Both group and private tuition are equally good. It greatly depends on the preference of the child and which type of environment they are able to learn better and effectively.

I believe the main factor is the teacher...
Consider this.. if the teacher is good for 1-1.. but in a class setting he cannot address all the questions promptly for the students... then the students cannot benefit as much..
If the teacher is good for 1 to many.. but in 1-1.. he gets sleepy.. or is too strict on the child that affects learning... then how?
My nephew had this problem... he attended a tuition class.. had a very good teacher there.. and secretly hired him to teach him 1-1.. but in 1-1.. he wasnt' very effective..
Hope you can use this to consider... my 2 cents -

In addition, I would like to share my 2 cents that it is how the teacher engage the child on 1-1 level and in group level. And once the child is engaged, how does the teacher continue to inspire and motivate the child to continue to work hard and leverage his own strengths to improve in his school work....Cherry Lee:

group tuition can be very powerful too because children within the same group can support one another too, in terms of emotional support as well as academic support...i know of some children who instantly understood when their peers explain to them...u know they have their own language and jargons and I think is pretty interesting to have observed that...
even competition within students in the same group, if used correctly and managed well, can be good for the children too... -

whc is better? for science
Science group tuition also suffers from one problem if the students are from different schools, as each school arranges their themes and topics differently by year (P3 and P4 one book, P5 and P6 another book). Some students end up studying way ahead while others do not get to cover what their school assesses. -

Same problem faced when doi past year paper from other schools...topics covered can be diff. -
Pte tuition is usually not so structured. Also as an individual they have less resource to monitor the syllabus and select suitable questions for the students

Hi
I’m comparing LP’s rates against private 1 to 1 tuition.
Recently being quoted $70 for 1.5 hours 1 to 1
versus LP’s $63 for 2 hours up to class size of 12
I’m wondering does it make sense to go for group lessons?
On one hand I like the idea of standardized worksheets.
On the other hand, undeniable attractive to get 1 to 1 attention
What do you think is LP’s edge over private 1 to 1? -

On the 1-1 vs grp tuition comparison, it also depends on the make-up of the kids. My ds will die if 1-1 tuition but he enjoys grp tuition. Reason being there's more dynamism in grps and he enjoys those intra-classroom contests whereby tutors break class up into different teams for friendly competititon.
Of course tutors also know how to use psychology to motivate kids and a smattering of praises during lessons (in front of friends) will stroke his ego no end.
