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.
