It is fast approaching 15 December 2020 – half of December has almost flown by. If you tried to pinpoint where exactly time had gone to, don’t be surprised if you find that you have absolutely no clue! Seeing that the new year is approximately a fortnight away, parents are starting to contemplate what tuition options they have for their child.
Does my child need tuition? Now, this is a question that pops up in the mind of almost every Singaporean parent at some point or the other. It does seem like an important decision these days, doesn’t it? Deciding on whether your child should opt for tuition, and finding the right place to enrol your child for tuition can be a tricky terrain to tread through. But don’t worry, today we are going to offer you some help in this area of discussion.
Firstly, we will take a look at the most common subjects in which tuition is offered by various institutes and tutors across the nation. After that, we’ll give you a few pointers about how to decide for or against tuition.
The many woes of math
Mathematics is the subject in which most students opt for tuition, both at the primary and secondary levels. Yup, there are no surprises here, are they? Math has been a perennial problem for school goers and the fear of math is kind of like a tradition that gets passed from generation to generation. Students might find many concepts in math difficult to master without extra help. Their parents might not be able to help them adequately in this regard, especially in the higher levels of school education. These are the main reasons why a large number of students avail tuition for math.
To get the hang of English
We need to express ourselves, and we use English most of the time to communicate. Singaporeans are united in their belief that their kids require mastery over the language to have promising careers and fulfilling lives. It is not uncommon to find students enrolled for English tuition even during pre-school levels.
Apart from math and English, Mandarin is the next popular tuition subject in Singapore, given that it is the mother tongue of more than 70% of the nation. Of course, there are tuition centers and tutors who offer tuition in other subjects as well. So, it is safe to say that there is no dearth of quality tutors in Singapore for any subject.
What’s with all this tuition?
Ever paused to think about why we are so into the tuition industry? Well, with a bit of consideration, the logic becomes evident. Singapore is a global leader and model when it comes to school education. But, our system has also been one of the most competitive ones in the world. Parents don’t want their kids to fall behind and that fear of missing out (academically) is the primary driver behind all this tuition in the country.
However, it is also true that tuition has helped us improve our learning outcomes and taken a lot of unwanted stress out of the average Singaporean household. Online modes of tuition have gone a step further due to the flexibility that they bring to learning, allowing students to learn when they are in the right mood for learning and consequently making the learning process more enjoyable.
But should your kid be getting tuition?
Yes, this is the million-dollar question for parents. So here’s how you decide. Understand your child’s learning style. Figure out how much time your kid typically spends learning daily. Find out how productive he is while learning. Also, figure out how quickly he loses focus.
Next, parents have to figure out how much time they can spend with their children to help out with academics and clear related doubts. Now, parents might not necessarily be math or Chinese experts. That is not your job and so if you feel that you are not able to handle the doubts or help your kids out adequately, then realize that it’s quite natural.
And the decision is…
The fact is that many of our kids get easily distracted unless they have someone to guide them while learning, especially during their schooling days. You would be well advised to consider tuition if:
- Your kid loses focus easily while learning
- You do not have enough time to help your kids with their academics
- You feel that you are unable to address the specific academic doubts that your child pose
- Tuition can bring a great deal of discipline to your child’s learning process. So don’t hesitate to opt
for it if needed.
With all that being said, if you are looking for any quality tuition options, you can always come on to 88tuition.com and check out the wonderful options that we offer.
