Actually you are right. All the other components should not be neglected.i always envy those hv tutor who plan revision for their kiddo.
My son's english tutor does not do that. She claims 2hours weekly lesson is not enough.I highlighted to her my ds's weeknesses r compo n comprehension,but shouldn't neglect grammar n voca.After the discussion,i leave it to her,she still focusing on compo n compre.
She has been teaching my ds for a month,but absent twice.i wonder what shld i expect fr. tutor?
My DS will put up a fierce struggle if he is told to do comprehension and creative writing all the time. When that happens, it will be really draining for me. There must be a balance in everything.
2 hours a week is enough for your DS as he is already scoring good grades. She may just want to fill up her slots? Not sure. Just citing a possibility.
Being absent twice in a month? What kind of commitment is that? -

This is an excellent strategy!Just told DD to plan her revision schedule for SA1.
She came up with complete homework, and alternate days, 1 hour math plus 30mins english, 1 hour science plus 30mins chinese.
I told her ehhhh, I dun have that many sets of practise papers for her. So in the end, we decided that she will revisit all the past worksheets that she has done and do them again. -

On paper it seems wonderful. But the devil is in the execution. Especially when the brother does not have any exams so no major revision needed.
Yesterday she really did 1 hour of math and 30mins of English. And at dinner she suddenly jumped up and say she was so caught up with doing revision she forgot to learn her tingxie. -

Hehe, easy way out for me. No need to go hunting for more materials.

I have been doing that since she started P1. It is useful for me to see if she really understands and knows how to do those type of questions and also for her to take note of where her mistakes and weak areas are. -

same same, my ds dislikes doing open ended qs for compre.

Vinegar,
Try to get tutors older than 30. These tutors have more financial commitments, thus they will not cancel lessons regularly. -

No recommendations. Honestly, most of the good tutors will have full house by now.
