Overview
Home tuition is the surest of ways of improving grades in Singapore and I don't think I need to emphasize on the importance of grades in Singapore. One typical classroom size in a school here is about 40 pupils.
Forty is too many
With this number, there is no way the teacher can get the full attention of all the students at all. You don't believe me? Just try to talk to 40 people at one go. Your children probably spend more time talking among themselves than listening to the teachers anyway.
So am I saying that to provide the best chance of education for your child, you should immediately get a tuition teacher right now? Food for thought.
In Singapore, Tuition is useful
How useful home tuition is totally depends on the tuition teacher. It is extremely important to get the right tutor.
Some people pay a minimal fee and see results quickly; some pay much more but is left exasperated after only a few months into the tuition, others try to teach their children themselves and end up beating the child. So what is the secret? Read on and you might just get lucky.
Bad tuition agencies
There are numerous tuition agencies around in Singapore . Many who have tried to employ a tutor through these agencies end up shaking their heads in disgust. I have heard of many tuition agencies that send male instead of female tutors to teach dispite of an agreement before-hand, tuition teachers that quit after a few lessons and tuition teachers that scold the students all the time.
Good tuition agencies
For every bad experience some parents have, there are good experiences too. The trick here is to find the correct tuition agency.
Established agencies
To find a good tuition agency, look for one that has is established. They are more concerned with quality because they have to build a brand name. How do you know if they are established?
They are usually registered and pay taxes, you will know because they will have to send you the bill and invoice They usually have professional looking website and not some made with half hearted attempts.
Good tuition agencies keep track of their tutors
Try to look for an agency that keeps track of their tutors, you'll know because they usually have feedback forms and such.
To employ a qualified good private home tutor, here's the link.

When to teach child chess, how young can a child learn chess
By: Frank Ho | 01/01/2010After researching the relationship between chess and math for over 15 years, I conjecture that chess is a geometry-based game, which particularly is related to the concept of symmetry. So the way to teach a very young child is perhaps to point out the meaning of symmetry in a practical way, not in a conceptual way. How young can a child learn chess? Often I was asked this question but only found out it is difficult to answer.

My Experience of Using Ho Math and Chess™ Teaching Set vs. 3-D Traditional Chess Set
By: Frank Ho | 28/12/2009Toward the end of 2007, I released an innovative chess teaching set Ho Math and Chess Teaching Set using Geometry Chess Symbols to indicate each chess piece’s move buy marking GCS on the surface of each uniformed look of chess piece. My idea of creating this set is to use the symmetry lines of a square to show how each piece is supposed to move - an idea of “what you move is what you see”. After my use of this set and teaching children for several months, I have some surprising and interesti
