Just curious. For parents with kids in IP, is it just my wrong impression - I seem to think tuition was far more prevalent in the primary school years, than in Sec Sch (IP). Maybe I am just blissfully unaware, haha

I think it is more prevalent in Pr school, with many taking more than 1 subject, but even in Sec school (IP or not), quite a few students take some tuition. Not everyone is strong across the board, so they may need help in a specific subject. Of course, some take tuition in more than 1 subject too. For some, it's just a crutch they (or their parents) have got used to. I know some parents who send kids to tuition so that they have more structure to their day and don't \"waste time\" - not a good way to teach time management, in my opinion, but it may be the only way if there is no-one to guide or supervise at home. Many kids can still be immature and irresponsible in the lower sec years, and even later.

Can I check if any parents have feedback or recommendations of any tutors/tuition centre for students in IP? As understand, IP in each school may be different in terms of how they cover the syllabus, do parents, therefore, go for 1-1 tuition instead? I am not able to find any parent's sharing on tutors/tuition centres specific for IP. Perhaps I might have missed them. I would very much appreciate if someone can share the link if there is already one. Thanks.

Try FINDINGS at Balmoral or there is ano branch at Holland V

My daughter (Sec 2) is at Findings Holland V for Maths. The class is mixed, as in IP and O level track students are in the same class.

Some tuition centers split them.

Try asking in the thread for the specific school? There are probably many students having tuition, and some centres will have classes tailored to specific schools.

:thankyou:

I think less in lower secondary. Maybe becks overall, lower sec still manageable. Also, from my understanding, secondary schools encourage students to book consultation hours (outside school hours) with individual teachers if they have any questions. Sometimes these sessions are 1-1 but other times, the teacher might group a few students with similar problems into one small group. My DD finds such consultation hours very useful.

But if you are looking for tuition help in Maths, I highly recommend Future Academy.

Thanks, Swc. Good to know that teachers are making time for after school group consultations. I am actually curious to find out what are the options for IP students considering the syllabus differences across schools. I noticed there have not been many sharings on tuition for IP perhaps tuition is not as common in this case. That is probably a good sign. Thanks for your recommendation, will check out Future Academy.

Certain Learning Lab classes are also tailored specifically to specific IP school syllabus/pace/scheme of work for Maths

Hi not sure if correct thread to ask this… I

Is there an avenue to apply for polytechnic admission after year 4 in IP? Thanks

Read the various poly websites for info and deadlines. I believe all of them have some way for students to apply with Y4 IP results. But it won't be a mass coordinated exercise like the post-O level one. You probably have to apply individually to each poly.

As slmkhoo says, it is probably on a case by case basis. This is probably because the majority of IP students will complete their IP programme and the programme is not designed with the intention for students to have to exit.
