Do 1-to-1 tuition help in your studies?

How many of you have home tuition lessons?

Did your grades improve because of the tutor’s help? For some, it will improve.

If your tutors are motivating, inspiring and teaching you relevant skills to do well in studies, you had got yourself a good tutor and also a motivator.

But in some cases, you will get a tutor that you feel that, you are unable to absorb the points your tutor taught you. In this case, who is at fault?

The answer is both. Firstly, the tutor does not know how to teach and speak in the right tone to attract the student’s attention. Or because the tutor is not interested in teaching. When someone has no passion in doing something, he or she will not do a good job in doing. Also, it may be because the tutor does not have good grades in his or her education level.

Secondly, how much did you pay for that tutor? Face this truth. The amount of money you willing to pay will attract different kinds of tutors. If you paid less than S$20 per hour for a tutor, you will most likely get an average ‘A’ Level graduate or below.

This is the reality. The average rates for a school teacher are at least S$40 per hour! For JC assignments, some school teachers are paid over a hundred bucks for 1 hour of tuition!

Why parents would afford to pay so much for their child’s education? Simply because they want the best for their child. Want them to succeed in their studies.

This shows that some parents will do whatever it takes to assist their child in their education! So, you, as a student should put in your 101% in your studies and make use of your tuition (if you have) as an advantage.
