Avoid 5 Mistakes that Most Singaporeans do About
their Childs Tuition

If your child is failing in specific subjects
despite having the best home tutors, something
wrong is going on. Home tuition can go wrong due
to multiple reasons and when it does, most
Singaporeans blame the tutor, the tuition agency,
and even the child, but themselves. This happens
because most parents underestimate the impact of
a home tutor, and that can make all the
difference. So, here in this article, we are
going to tell you some common mistakes that most
parents do about their childs private
tuition. Hiring home tutors when they dont need
one While the point may seem obvious, but still,
most parents hire home tutors unnecessarily. When
your child is scoring good grades and likes to do
homework on their own, you should probably avoid
hiring a private tutor. The best strategy would
be to ask them if they need private tutors or
not. So, if it comes out they are comfortable in
all subjects, but mathematics, you should just
provide math tuition in Tampines. If your child
is constantly scoring 85 or 90marks in maths, you
dont need to hire a math tutor two times a week,
but once in a week will suffice.

Try not to hover As a parent, you will always
want to know about your childs progress, but
dont let that turn into hovering unnecessarily.
Constant hovering over your childs tuition is
not just annoying to the child, but for the
private tutor as well. It will give them a
feeling that you are not trusting in their skills
and that may be discouraging, which will end up
making them less and less effective. Some
parents even join the tuition lessons with their
child, which creates awkward situations that make
the tutors uncomfortable. Yes, you should spend
some time, lets say 15-20 minutes with your
child during the first lesson and assess the
tutors abilities, but not more than that.
Besides, if you keep showing up and started
spending time during the lessons, the tutor may
choose to discontinue.

Dont plan tuition lessons on weekdays You dont
want your child to turn up in the tuition classes
with an upsetting mood. If they dont wish to be
there at that specific time, private tuition will
do more harm than good. No, we are not talking
about the inefficiency of the tutors, but forcing
your child to join the session on weekdays. Your
child spends as much as 7-9 hours in school and
after that, they have their CCAs. So, by evening,
they will have no energy left to join the tuition
classes, even if its home tuition. You need to
allow them some time to rest and indulge in their
hobbies or play to avoid making tuition classes
dull, boring, and stressful.

• Unwilling to change and experiment
• When one tuition teacher doesnt come out as
  expected, parents just give up on the idea
  completely. Others may not do that, but let the
  same tutor stick with the child, which will
  provide nothing, but bad results. You must
  remember that home tuition is about building a
  tutor-student relationship and it can go wrong in
  multiple ways.
• So, if you see that your child is not happy with
  the tuition teacher even after the second month
  and not showing any improvements, you should find
  a new tutor.
• Flipping tutors constantly
• Dont let the 4thpoint put you into thinking that
  flipping the tutors is the best choice. For
  example, if you have hired physics tuition at
  Hougang, give them some time to assess your child
  and come up with the best-customized lesson plan.
