To provide some background info, I have been a part-time tutor for the past 8 years, provideing tutoring to children from Pri 4 to Sec 4 on subjects such as Science and Maths.

And I have found teaching and coaching fulfilling through these years…

Although I have a full-time job but found myself not really motivating as compared to teaching because at the end of the day, I can see my achievements as reflected on the children’s report cards.

For me I believe that a life as an educator should not be hard as you are doing something noble…but usually, the schools - once again not the education system - makes the life of an educator hard.

I know that it involves a lot of admin/paper work. :faint: I can't imagine how teachers find time to teach and do all these other non-teaching stuff. I really do not envy teachers.

That's why I opted for a change of school this year.


My focus in school now is purely academic, I've requested to be taken off admin duties which makes me lose passion, & it has also taken alot of unnecessary stress away at the same time.

Teaching students privately in my personal time has been very fulfilling & being able to interact with the students more, seeing their improvements is more fulfilling than writing reports to gain 'awards' which may not truely reflect the students' achievements & learning.

BTW, can PM me where/what you are teaching? Can refer students to you if level/subject/location is right. 🙂

If the teacher is doing the right thing and it is benefiting our children, then what is there to interfere.


Personally, I understand the anxiety that all parents have regarding their child's education and performance. In fact, teachers and parents should work hand in hand in realising what is best for the child.

Sometimes the problem is when the teachers' PR skill is lousy. What do I mean by that.

Some teachers would only communicate with the parents when there is something not right. But when the child has done well, nothing is being communicated to the parents.

There's a lot more situation which I can bring up but then....if you look at the time stated above....my mind is going into stand by mode soon...

So ..... :snooze:

Welcome NIEtrainedTEACHER!

(psst. hey buds... check it out... yet another daddy :evil: ).

Hmmm... seems like lots of educators are converging in on our humble little abode. That's good because we can now get a good counter-balance and feedback from the \"other side\" of the story. We do look forward to your sharing, NIEtrainedTEACHER! (Boy... your nick's a finger-ful)

I left due to personal belief differences.


My belief, a teacher should have the students as their top priority and not the glory of the school in terms of administrative awards which takes up a substantial amount of the teachers time which could be channeled to the children.

Schools belief…simply put, any teacher would know the 5 areas of work review, where sadly only 1 area cater to teaching and learning.

So I left. Now teaching privately and loving it due to the amount of help that I can give my students.
