Yes, do the passport renewal first. When i did my maid’s PP renewal, there’s still 1 year left to the expiry date. I renewed this July, the expiry date was next yr Jul. No issues.

I just did my Indonesian Maid PP renewal yday, it took me about 1.5hrs, I was lucky that the interview went well, i told him i'm giving her an increase to S$450 from S$ 340 with no off days, he didnt even persuade me to give her off days as i read online that they will persuade the employers to give them off days.

Please photocopy all docs before hand as they charged at S$ 0.50/pc. And for the photos, my maid has some balance of the photos she took and when i asked the photo shop cashier from the embassy, they said cannot therefore she re-took however it turned out that her photos she had was much clearer and nicer.

What’s your preference or advantages/disavantages in getting a home tutor or tuition centre?

My boy will be in P2 next year and i’m contemplating in either getting a home tutor with 3 subjects or put him in a tuition centre?
How does tuition centre work? 1 lesson 1 subject or they cover few subjects in a lesson? Which option is more economical? Usually how much it cost for home tuition?
