Common Types Of Singapore Tuition

By Kate Freeman


Because Singapore relies on its citizens to prosper, education is a high priority for the tiny Asian nation. It prides itself in giving excellent education, grooming the youth for leadership. With an education system that consistently ranks high in the world, it expects students to give their best always. Parents think that, with the help of home tutorial, their kids can stand out in class. That's why there are many tuition agencies in the nation.

Tutorial programs are held on one-on-one sessions at home, on a small group session at a tuition agency, and over the internet. Group programs are proven to make a positive effect on self-confidence of the students, while online tutorials are becoming popular nowadays. But many students still prefer one-on-one tuition sessions with a tutor because of its convenience and because the instructor can give attention to their learning and help address the issues the students have.

Tutorials done online are undoubtedly convenient because there's no need for the tutor and the student to leave the comfort of their home. They can just communicate online. Most web tuition are held on a one-on-one session as well, making it easier for the instructor to concentrate on the student's learning progress. There is still much to be said with doing the tutorial session personally. Many still believe that lessons can be better explained face to face than through online.

There are fewer tutees in one group tuition classes than there are in a school class. Nevertheless, many still think that group tuition sessions beat the purpose of having private tuition. The tutor may not be capable of fully addressing the needs of every student. Teachers from a tuition agency in Singapore may also take on private courses in the agency's office, though it is still inconvenient to travel to and from the tuition centre.

Home tuition not just offers focused learning, but also convenient. To look for the right tutor, students in Singapore typically sign up with tuition firms, which match their needs to the skills of the tutors. The students also get to decide on the time most convenient for them, and the centre will match the available tutor for them.

It's very expensive to have tutors in Singapore. Sometimes, private tuition fee is already as much as Singapore tuition school rate. But many students feel that they need help to become competitive in class so it's just worth it to spend that much on their education.
