Introduction
In the context of present education system of our country or state it is become necessity to go for tuitions because it is helpful for the overall development of a child which can not fulfilled only through schools.
Too many teachers these days are not doing what they are supposed to be doing in school. Don’t get me wrong. There are still good teachers in school but a big portion these days act irresponsibly. To them, dedication is about punctuality and teaching what is in the textbooks, rather than preparing students as best as they can.
If the teachers are not up to mark in teaching their respective subjects, and we know such teachers exist in our education system, then one can argue to it might be helpful to engage a tuition teacher (probably from another school) who is able to teach the subject better.
However, there were also arguments which are quite sad – clear cases of misdirected objectives of an education such as:
Knowledge by itself is of no use, unless that knowledge can be applied to answering exam questions. You cannot compare the quality and level of school exams to public exams. School exams are full-dress rehearsals. A lot of teachers don’t understand that. They set questions that do not resemble the real thing.
Ohh! … I don’t know what to say to that! That is just such a sad view of education!
On the other hand, Chuah Lip Peng argued that “tuition is mostly a waste of time. It gives children an excuse not to pay attention in class. Tuition then becomes something to fall back on.”
He also argued that it’s important for parents to enforce discipline. The parents must help them by constantly reminding them to study.
See, children are like clay, you must mould them when fresh, and teach them by example.
I’m not sure if nagging them to study on a daily basis is the right approach to take, but I do agree to a certain extent that there is the element of truth in the fact that tuition becomes some form of crutch for students.
Does Tuition Really Helps child ?
From my personal experience through interactions with parents and getting student feedbacks about tutors, many parents are satisfied with the results of tuition. More than 80% of these parents observed an improvement in their children school work and exam results, usually within a time frame of 3-6 months.
Getting a home private tutor/ tuition teacher has the following advantages:
• A home tutor can impart knowledge that may not be taught in sufficient details in school.
• A home tutor can go through materials that your children is too embarrassed to ask in school.
• A home tutor can customize his teaching to specific weak areas of every individual student which a school teacher is unable to do
• A home tutor can share smart exam tips, topics to focus on and techniques on how to remember certain formulas.
