Guide on Choosing a Good Tuition Teacher
Overview
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? Food for thought.
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.
Some people pay a minimal fee and see results quickly; some pay much more but is left exasperated after only a few months into the tuition, others try to teach their children themselves and end up beating the child. So what is the secret? Read on and you might just get lucky.
Bad tuition agencies
There are numerous tuition agencies around in Singapore . Many who have tried to employ a tutor through these agencies end up shaking their heads in disgust. I have heard of many tuition agencies that send male instead of female tutors to teach dispite of an agreement before-hand, tuition teachers that quit after a few lessons and tuition teachers that scold the students all the time.
Good tuition agencies
For every bad experience some parents have, there are good experiences too. The trick here is to find the correct tuition agency.
Established agencies
To find a good tuition agency, look for one that has is established. They are more concerned with quality because they have to build a brand name. How do you know if they are established?
They are usually registered and pay taxes, you will know because they will have to send you the bill and invoice They usually have professional looking website and not some made with half hearted attempts.
Good tuition agencies keep track of their tutors
Try to look for an agency that keeps track of their tutors, you’ll know because they usually have feedback forms and such.
To employ a qualified good private home tutor, here’s the link.

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) May 13, 2006
One of the leading Lutheran universities in America, Valparaiso University (IN), has joined SAGE’s Tuition Rewards Program. “We are very pleased that Valparaiso has joined the Tuition Rewards consortium,” stated Dr. James Johnston, SAGE’s founder and CEO. “Valparaiso is an excellent institution and we hope that its example in joining SAGE will encourage more colleges and universities to do the right thing, which is to urge families to save for college.”
Valparaiso is one of many schools encouraging families to save for college by honoring Tuition Rewards. 189 private colleges and universities across the country are partnered in the Tuition Rewards Program, including five Indiana schools. Families, in turn, are taking note. Over 83,000 families are earning Tuition Rewards Points through SAGE’s network of financial partners.
How it works:
Families earn Tuition Rewards by saving with SAGE’s financial partners, a list that includes Pennsylvania’s TAP 529 Plan, Horace Mann Insurance, B.C. Ziegler Brokers, Monetta Funds and Asset Marketing Systems. Each year families earn Tuition Rewards Points equal to 5% of their eligible assets. Tuition Rewards Points accrue like frequent flyer miles on TuitionRewards.com and when a student applies to one of the member schools, the Tuition Rewards account holder simply submits the Tuition Rewards statement to the school. If the student is admitted and matriculates to the SAGE college or university, the school will give the student a scholarship at least equal to the size of the Tuition Rewards – up to one full year’s tuition.
Colleges have been joining the Tuition Rewards Program at a steady rate. In the last three months ten schools have partner with SAGE, including Springfield College (MA), Robert Morris University (PA), Missouri Valley College (MO), Colby-Sawyer College (NH), Houston Baptist University (TX), and, of course, Valparaiso University (IN).
About Valparaiso:
Founded in 1859, Valparaiso University has been known for its outstanding liberal arts education and professional programs. Its location in northwest Indiana gives students the benefits of the premier city of Chicago, the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore on Lake Michigan and the friendliness of the residential community of Valparaiso.
Valparaiso belongs to a small and distinctive group of institutions of higher education that consistently receives national recognition for the quality of their educational programs. U.S. News & World Report regularly names Valparaiso as one of the best comprehensive universities in the midwest in its annual rankings of “America’s Best Colleges.” In addition, U.S. News ranked Valparaiso among the “best college values” based on a ratio of price to quality, and declared Valpo’s College of Engineering as one of the nation’s top 20 undergraduate-only engineering schools.

UCLA Tuition Protests 11.19.09_27
Image by chalifour.eric
These were all taken less than an hour ago outside of Covel Commons at UCLA. Students and faculty are protesting a proposed tuition hike of up to 32% by the next academic school year.
conquer the earth and rebel, you bastards!
Tuition is high. Can’t argue with that. What did everyone else think of the new one called “You Have A College Degree, Now What?” Heard the book has gotten good reviews so far.
It is the government fault that tuition is rapidly increasing.
Its the subsidies.
The colleges could raise the tuition to any amount because they know the government has the students covered. Don’t worry well pay whatever you hike your costs to. When you remove the subsidy, colleges will be forced to lower costs to a respectable number because students wouldn’t be able to afford it.
@SabreTooth123 I just read in the paper today that a local college is automatically admitting anyone who pays double tuition. Watch out!
What a liar this guy is it was a lot more than just window being smashed. They took over a whole building and spraypainted it and trashed it. Protest all you want it does matter because we’re broke folks. If you cannot afford college I suggest the miltary they are hiring.
Who do you think is paying for this? Hire more cops and give them better weapons.
I think the problem with school from preschool to college is the financial barriers used to separate one student from another. Some students do have access to loans/grants/scholarships to level the playing field, but I think these things ultimately discourage a potential student from going to school rather than encourage.
You got the revolution from us. If we didn’t put France into so much debt paying for the American revolution. There probably wouldn’t have been a French revolution. Have that cake.
Well actually the buildup to the Iraq war spawned the largest worldwide protest in history.
Thats the point. You can’t afford school. So you end up with massive debt. And get indoctrinated in the lifetime US debt system.
I understand why these people are pissed. Universities try to squeeze you for every dime. For the price of the books you could probably buy a book store.
eggsactly
the time has come to….. galvanize!!
I was part of the protest in Riverside, CA!! =]
you should go after The Young Turks,, but other than that, great job at fucking over Scientology
Non-violence was the best thing for the civil rights movement? Without the threat of mutually assured destruction or, at least, the division of the US into two separately sovereign regions, from Malcolm X and the Fruit of Islam, all of those peace talkers would have gotten nothing done, including Martin Luther King. The choices were death or fairness, not really a choice at all.
Less education leads to more control.
These tuition rates are ridiculous. I’m pretty upset because I go to a private university, and as we all know private school are not funded the same as public schools, although it’s not that great either. But my point is three days ago my school informed us that it is raising the tuition by 20% in less than a year. That is outrageous and shouldn’t be allowed. I literally don’t know what to do because I can barely stay afloat as it is. So I may not be at this school next year, to be honest.
Well my $2500ish a semester is tuition alone (so it doesn’t include the many other fees), but I’m also at one of the ‘middle-ground’ unis here (not terrible like some of the schools, but not terribly expensive like say University of Toronto or whatever),
Someone could expect to spend $18,000 plus if they’re in a more expensive field. But yeah… I get your point. Lucky I’m here.
You know what the weird part about all that is? All I see in the media about USA schools is stuff about frat houses and massive drunk parties. I have been in university for 6 years (long story was aiming for 5 >.>), and have only been to 2 university parties and they had security and were on campus, and there are neither frats, nor sororities. I think its because here its the students paying for it (cause they can) and so they value it more and so actually study.
if the federal govt wouldnt guarantee the loans, the schools would be forced to lower their costs or go out of business. just another example of the govt’s hearts being in the right place with the wrong solutions. stay out of our health care big govt, u will fuck that up to!
Thanks to the Terrorist Organization called the US Federal Reserve Bank we would not be living in the Second Great Depression.
I’m sooo against violence. I’m sure if we hold up enough card board signs to the same powers that are raping and plundering our way of life that things will change!
As would I, if the opportunity arose. Guess I am a few years later for grad school abroad, but the situation here is so nepotistic and corporatist to the point of sickness. No promoting the general welfare, no safety net, no community, no education; just sink or swim here. Of the people by the people for the people? If it ever was, it is certainly not anymore.
@alizee2010
Finland, higher education is only free in Finland when you apply for a student visa in the EU.
“It’s not so much the education as it is the status.”
Absolutely.
