Student-Tutor Service

Jackie Wong   M ost people conveniently associate the need for  private tuition  with poor academic results.

In a classroom setting, due to the high students to teacher ratio, teachers are often forced to progress the syllabus at a pace that allows breathing space for poorer students to catch up.

In a one-to-one tuition session, your child is more likely to focus better on the subject. Although the home tuition rate is higher than the centre’s, you will still save on transport costs n parking. There is no  need to commute out of the house and your child can have tuition in the comfort of your home.  Below is a testimonial from a secondary three student taking English under the tutelage of Ms Karen Chan: “My tuition teacher is a very good tutor as she has a great sense of responsibility. She ensures her students understand by engaging them in deep questions. When I face...

By talking about the problems, you can find out how well you know them. Have an idea of what to expect from your teacher. Either find old tests or talk to others who have had the professor.
