I prefer individual or small group tuition. This way, every student gets enough attention and can get their voices/questions addressed. Some children, especially those who are not out-spoken like my child do not do well in classroom setting (similar to school) and thus thrive in smaller, cozier groups. I personally feel that they can benefit from peer-to-peer competition/motivation, it also doesn't allow them to slack or space out as compared to a large group.
I hired an English tutor for my child through an agent and was lucky to find someone whom my child was comfortable with and had the heart to teach. Trust me, some tutors are just 'doing their job' and I even went to a centre who's administrator told me they only accept students who are of a certain grade (the audacity!)
Anyway, long story short, my child benefited from said private tutor, I initially had doubts about the candidates I am being recommended by 3rd party agents but think we got lucky.

Hi parents, when choosing a session with the popular tuition how do you find out which teachers are really good. After a few bad experiences, i understand that as much as the brand of the tuition center, the teacher also matters. Need your input.

I have tried tuition centers, tutor matching services before and will say sometimes it can be a mixed bag. I did try before Stalford learning and Mavis before, but end up realizing my son is not exactly suitable for group tuition as he just gets too distracted, and required attention which a tutor in a tuition center may not be able to give. So decided to give tutor matching services but think is more of luck (or lack of) that I end up with private home tutors that did not really work out. My son's grades did not improve and ends up jumping from the low to mid 70s for his science.

One way is to really check out recommendations or forums like this (thanks kiasuparents!) to really see what others say about tutors. I engaged a science tutor from this forum for my son and was pretty happy that it somewhat worked out (though i would say it was after so many tutors at different places for like near 2 years?) at the right time as I only managed to engage this tutor like earlier this year. Anyway he is going for PSLE soon, and at least i am confident he should be able to manage to do ok for PSLE (hopefully!) *hint *hint see my attached pic haha

All in all, i conclude it is a mix of knowing what sort of learning environment works for your kid (whether he learns better in a group or individual environment) and also to find a committed tutor. However, I have to admit at least for me, an element of luck, and extensive research is still needed to find the right tutor!

ps: if you want to know my tutor, you can pm me directly.

The teacher taught my son wrongly and he got mistake for his school work I got to know when I go through with him and he show me what the teacher in the centre had taught then I realise. so disappointed and the fee is not cheap

does those tutor matching services give tutors a way to pitch themself? so you can describe your qualifications to parents? or it's just based on the fee preference?

Anyone tried tutor matching service before? Can share experience of using such service?

I used them when I did private one-to-one tuition in the past. They were good at a certain fee quote, back in 2004 when I was quoting $40 an hour (as an ex-MOE teacher). The last two years (2018-2019), when my fee quotes have become $80 an hour, they were quite useless, as all my students come via referrals.

I cannot really give any viewpoints from the parent's POV, as I tutor my own children. But based on my experience as a tutor with them, they are more for parents looking for \"budget\" tutors and they serve that segment well.
