According to a Straits Time survey, Singapore parents are spending 10 to 15 times more than the amount they are paying for school fees, on private tuition. This is perhaps due to the fact that parents want to provide the best possible education for their children. Since parents and students have virtually no control over the choice of their school teachers, parents and students have to turn to private tuition as a means to supplement the education the students are already having at school. Choosing a private tutor may be a daunting task, and so how do we go about finding the right tutors from a tuition agency? Some qualities of a tutor to look out for:
- Knowledge and Understanding of a Subject
A good tutor should be able to help solve many of the problems encountered by a student when doing homework. The tutor should also be able to impart his knowledge and problem-solving skills effectively to the student, and help him understand certain topics or problems. This is especially crucial in subjects that require much logical thinking like Maths and Physics. - Experience
Another way to determine whether a tutor is competent enough is to find out how experienced he or she is. There is a saying that “Practice makes perfect” and there is certainly truth in this statement. A tutor who has taught a subject for a long time will most likely teach better. So how do we do that? Parents can observe the tuition lesson and the manners and behavior of the tutor. From the way the tutor speaks, parents can roughly gauge whether the tutor is confident enough to deliver a proper lesson. Also, observe whether the tutor is nervous or calm. - Teaching Methods
More often than not in the area of Maths, nothing is more useful than a diagram well drawn and explained. Not presenting steps and solutions in a clear, concise manner only leads to more confusion from the student. A tutor may know how to solve a problem, but to effectively present the solution in a clear manner to the student, demands skills that not every tutor has. Furthermore, a tutor who is not very sure about the solution may have to “lie” his way through, introducing unnecessary steps that complicate matters more. Parents are paying for quality service, not someone who beats around the bush and arrives at the conclusion that the child is not smart enough. A qualified tutor should practise good teaching techniques. However, it takes two hands to clap. No matter how good a tutor is, if a student cannot get used to the tutor’s teaching methods, all efforts will come to nought. It is therefore more important to find tutors whose ways of teaching are acceptable to the student. - Education Background and Qualifications
Tutors who have studied before the same subjects and have gone through similar examinations, have probably more to share with their students. If a tutor had excelled before in similar examinations, such as the A-Level, that his student is going to sit through, valuable tips and strategies can be passed on to the student. Success breeds success and there are certainly tonnes of examination tips and techniques the tutor can share. While having good grades is an important criteria in looking for a suitable tutor, one should not neglect the fact whether a tutor can teach well or not. Good grades and the ability to teach well do not always come together. - Commitment
It is best to employ a committed tutor or one who knows how to manage his time well. Not only that, a tutor should show care and concern towards his students’ performance at school and especially so during the examination period. Usually in such a period, students will be very stressful and a good tutor should provide moral support and guidance. It would be even better if the tutor can help his students to destress.
Now that we have enlightened you with some of the things to look out for when choosing a tutor, finding a good tutor is no longer a headache. You may now search for tutors or request for a tutor from us. We will assist you in finding suitable tutors for your child.

How many hours of summer tutoring per week should my child receive?My daughter is 6 1/2 and going into 2nd grade next year. She is one of the youngest in her class and according to her teacher she is not quite where she should be at for her grade with regard to reading and writing. The teacher does not believe she has a learning issue. We'd like to give her a boost before entering 2nd grade next fall and so we will be getting her some tutoring. Based in her age and grade, how many hours per week of tutoring should she receive? Thanks for any advice.

If you are looking to grow your business, there are many ways. If you put a magnetic sign on your vehicles, you can turn your car into a mobile advertisement and deduct all of your mileage. This can go a long way in finding clients and is one of the least expensive and save you the most money.
If you want to find clients and tutors, consider joining a Networking group like BNI, the Chamber of Commerce, or other local community groups. Then, you help the people there find what they need, and they help you find what you need. BNI especially is a great organization.
Lastly, consider putting up fliers wherever your demographic is. For example, talk to local high school principals and see if they may be willing to allow you to post fliers or give you a mailing list for their parents. They may also be willing to allow you to implement an afterschool tutoring program to help introduce your company to the kids and parents.
These are all inexpensive ways to grow your business. However, if none of those work for you, you might want to get a book called 6 Steps to Free Publicity. This is a really good book to help you get creative in marketing. Here's a link to the book at Half.com.

You need to focus on one or two disciplines. the ones in which you are really good. do not teach everything. stay focused. It is better from commercial point of view they to come to your house. But from psychological – it is better you to visit them. so , the balance should be visit the neighbors, but request the further living to visit you.

$30 – $35 an hour. My mom is a teacher and she charges $25 however you are having to drive to their home… I have 2 kids and I would pay that.
I would charge at least $30 an hour. If it is a more difficult subject, such as ochem or calculus I would charge $50.
Eu achei muito bom, consegui fazer com facilidade, continue assim. Um conselho critico, vc tem um conhecimento muito bom, porem, outros podem não ter, então, se puder explicar mais detalhadamente tudo oq estiver fazendo pode ser mais fácil. No mais, SHOW!! Muito obrigado por postar, estarei aguardando mais
You certainly can start a tutoring business. You know skills that younger children do not know; therefore, you are qualified. You can teach a child to read or do math. The key is to have the right resources to teach. You just might do flash cards with children who don't know their facts very well. Perhaps you charge $5 for a half hour of drilling your student. Or perhaps you listen to a child read for an hour… that should be worth $10. I'd put an ad in the paper and see what kind of interest you get. If your school has an opportunity after school for you to help other students, take advantage of it. A parent might see what you're doing and ask if you're available at other times to tutor for pay. You may have to offer your services FREE for awhile… but that will give you time to build your fine reputation and you'll eventually be able to charge a fee.
Post a flyer on your school bulletin board and/or school website, and see what kind of interest level there is for your idea. Managing a volunteer program certainly has the potential to become a large task; organizing and pairing volunteers with students could become time-consuming if the program really takes off. You can always recruit some volunteers to help you manage it, however, and staying organized by using a computer program like Microsoft Excel might simplify things somewhat. I'm impressed with your ambition and desire to help others; it reflects maturity and self-awareness, as well as an awareness of the world around you. Good luck!
Parabéns! Muito bom!
Since she's that young i would suggest not too many hrs because she won't absorb it so per week like 3 to 5 hrs if you want a good boost but i wouldn't consider anything over cause she won't absorb it. So good luck on finding a great tutor and hope your daughter will be the smartest in her class next school year!
Hope I helped!
