Home Tutors vs. Tuition Center: What Should Parents Choose?
Parents want their children to be well-equipped to face the real world. Proper education is the tool to make it happen. So when it comes to education, quality matters most. That is why in Singapore, parents prefer the best when enrolling their children in tuition centers.
The better the tuition center, the more chances their child can get into a reputable school.
These primary and secondary school tuition focuses on key points discussed in school. They prepare the students to refresh the student’s mind for the major exams.
Yet, there remains a consistent home tutor demand among parents. How is it that this untapped market can compete with standardized tuition centers?
HOME TUTOR PROS AND CONS
Pros
- Freelance Tutors are Time-Bound
Freelance tutors are no doubt flexible when it comes to teaching their students. They make every minute count and uses focused one-on-one learning techniques
- Freelance Tutors Can Teach at Any Schedule
They tutor by the hour and day of availability, which means they work around your child’s schedule. It’s very convenient for parents whose child has extracurricular activities or sport.
Cons
- Freelance Tutors Aren’t Standardized
One big disadvantage among freelance tutors is the learning module. They aren’t normally researched enough by a team of curriculum specialists. Which means their educational coverage is either outdated or isn’t up to par.
- Not all Freelance Tutors Have Specializations
Out of the hundreds of freelance tutors out there, it’s hard to find a reputable one. A tutor with a specialization in Maths, English, Chinese, and Science is hard to come by.
- Excellent Freelance Tutors Are Hard to Find
Apart from having a specialization, a freelance tutor must have the right personality. The one too laid back may produce little impact on your child, the one too strict may be bad for your child’s morale. Finding the right balance of both in a stranger you’ve hired to teach your child is a difficult process.
TUITION CENTER PROS AND CONS
Pros
- Tuition Centers Get Results
Parents trust in primary school tuition centers because they deliver results. These centers boost the learning curve of a student upwards for future-ready characteristics.
- Tuition Centers Offers Group Learning
Most children and teenagers find it better to learn among their peers. It raises friendly competition, improves social skills, and most of all, it’s more fun!
- Tuition Centers screen for Excellent Tutors
Tuition centers bring out their best teachers who have the right training and skills. For example, we won’t allow a teacher who is more of a math person to teach English. Primary English tuition centers have tutors with amazing English credentials, and so on.
Cons
- Tuition Centers Have A Classroom Setting
Unlike with freelance tutors, tuition centers have a regular classroom set-up with fewer students. But some tuition centers also offer one-on-one learning options (at a fee closer to that of a home tutor). This will suit introverted students better.
