Making The Most Of Tuition Schools...

Got this from a mag... quite useful.

1) Focus on the areas where your child needs help. "Children should only attend tuition if they genuinely need it." In other words, only go to tuition when they are unable to keep up with their regular classes.

2) Avoid tuition that accelerates studies beyond their classroom studies. They may end up bored with their schoolwork.

3) look for tuition centre that offer personalised attention from tutors who can understand your child's specific needs, identify any problems and help him learn at his own pace.

4) Talk to the principal or teachers to assess if their philosophy and values are aligned with yours.

5) Speak with other parents and children at the centre to find out how they feel about the centre. A good centre is one that pupils look forward to attending.

6) Don't fall into the trap of believing that academic excellence is all about studying hard. Happy, well-balanced children whose parents are engage in their lives are much more likely to develop a love of learning.
