A mum told me this- Children in secondary school should learn to study on their own instead of going for tuition. If they have problem with any subject, they should approach their teacher or organise study groups with their classmates. This will help them learn to solve their own problems, not just in school, but in life. What do other parents think? Please share!

Children have tuition for 2 reasons. 1. They need help to catch up with their peers 2. To re-enforce what was being taught in school. Sometimes their friends might not be able to clarify their queries and might confuse them even further. Most of the time, teachers are not able to give their students one to one attention and accommodate to the child's learning pace while private tutors can. Therefore depending on your child, tuition may or may not be necessary.
