With increasing awareness among parents and competition in students home tuitions have become the latest trend in the education system of Singapore. Parents are opting for home tuitions for their children for getting better results and grades in their studies. Home tuitions are a big hit and several agencies providing home tutors are offering their services in the country making things easy for both parents and tutors.
Unfortunately the home tuition system is still influenced with different myths and biased opinions that are stopping parents from opting for home tutors and agencies. Though there is no reality in these myths and they are clearly assumptions of parents. Some of the myths that are overpowering parents mind are explained in this article. Hopefully parents will find it home tuitions more accessible after reading this small note.
• The first myth that comes around while opting for home tuition is the fame of tuition centers-
Normally parents feel that the famous and better advertized tuition centers are better option for their children in comparison to home tutor. There is no doubt that coaching centers have good teachers but they will have a certain set of program for completing syllabus. Group tuition teacher will not try to understand and solve learning pattern and problem of your child. On the other hand a personal tutor no matter he is famous or not will provide personal attention to your child and will try to excel his or her learning ability. Thus considering home tuition inferior to group tuition of big coaching centers is a big mistake of parents. Home tuitions are equally good and even better option for their children.
• Students who require home tutors are weak and stupid from their classmates
This is the myth that really needed to be removed from the concept of home tuitions. Normally society feels that if a child is opting for home tutors than he or she is lagging behind in studies and needs extra efforts even for clearing exams. On the other hand choosing coaching center as an additional help makes you a topper in the class with their advertized and guaranteed results.
The truth is quite different from the myth. Home tuitions are good for students who want focused and extra attention of their teachers. A good home tutor will help his student in understanding things in better way and in staying focused to studies. On the other hand students just goof around and kill their time in group tuitions.
