Home tuition is the surest of ways of improving grades in Singapore and I don't think I need to emphasize on the importance of grades in Singapore. One typical classroom size in a school here is about 40 pupils.
Forty is too many
With this number, there is no way the teacher can get the full attention of all the students at all. You don't believe me? Just try to talk to 40 people at one go. Your children probably spend more time talking among themselves than listening to the teachers anyway.
So am I saying that to provide the best chance of education for your child, you should immediately get a tuition teacher right now? Wrong!
In Singapore, Tuition is useful
How useful home tuition is totally depends on the tuition teacher. It is extremely important to get the right tutor.
