Small Group Tuition
What is Small Group Tuition?
A small group tuition, also known as group tuition, refers to private tuition conducted by a home tutor together with a number of students (more than one).
What are the Difficulties of Organising Small Group Tuition?
A small group tuition requires aliasing of time with the home tutor and the students. Often, it requires sacrificing of personal commitments in order to meet the time of everyone. This means that if the larger the tuition group, the harder it is to find the correct time.
Advantages of Small Group Tuition
-
Competitiveness Provokes Improvement
It is a basic human mindset not to lag behind his comrade. With someone who is deem as a competitor side by side, it will instigate one to work even harder. Motivation is a key point to success. Studying in a tuition group will benefit the students.
-
Fun Environment
Group tutoring is not as boring as a one to one tutoring session. There will be more interaction between the tutor and the students, and the studying atmosphere will not be as dry as one to one tutoring. Your child will be expecting the next tuition session!
-
One solution may uncover another’s unknown riddle
Sometimes, having no doubt does not mean that a person knows everything. It is when an unknown question appears, a student will know his limit and start to panic. When a doubt is raised by a fellow study-mate, it may help others to realise their weakness as well.
-
Clarification
Students try to re-explain to one another what the home tutor says. This in turn helps everyone of them to better understand everything the home tutor tries to explain.
-
Cheaper Tuition Fees
Group tuition will normally reduce the tuition rate of each individual student, such that it is more affordable for the parents.

Daily Tuition Assignments Jobs Update
Maths tuition
Maths is one of the most challenging subjects that students would face, especially during primary and secondary school level. Maths is also one of the most important subjects for GCE 'O' level for many courses in polytechnic require at least a pass for it. Therefore, maths tuition is one of the most common tuition in Singapore.
English tuition
Since English is the main language in Singapore, almost all the subjects are based on English, hence, the importance to have a great command of the language. English is also a subject by itself, which is tested in PSLE, 'O' level and 'A' level (known as GP or General Paper).
Chinese tuition
Chinese language (Chinese Singaporeans' mother tongue) is one of the most interesting but toughest languages to pick up. As more Singaporeans are English educated, the lack of communication through Chinese language is causing the ineptness. Chinese language is a subject by itself that will affect your child's overall grades.
Science tuition
The job opportunity for Science students ranges from professional to administrative roles in fields such as Banking and Finance, Healthcare, Chemical, Marketing, Defence and Security, Pharmaceutical, Management Consultancy... etc. It is important for a student to build confidence in the science subject during the early stage of education.
