Did you know Singapore ranks third in the world in education spending? It is also in the top five in education performance. Some may argue that the more one is willing to spend on education, the greater the results. This is not always true, but there is evidence that tuition helps improve performance. 

A large percentage of Singaporean parents believe that formal education is not enough. They spend thousands of dollars annually on primary school tuition, providing their children with extra education hours.

It is estimated that parents in Asia spend about 15% of their income on supplemental education. This is almost eight times more than what their western counterparts spend.

Primary school tuition has several benefits.

It Helps Students to Get Back on Track

Some bright students fall back on their studies for one reason or another. Some fall ill, missing school for weeks, and struggle to get back on track. Others do what children do, lose attention, and focus on something else instead of their education.

This happens often, and parents must do whatever they can to get their children back on track. Primary school tuition is one way to remind children of their potential and that they can achieve better academic performance with some help.

Improved Mental Health

The stress of academic performance can get to students. Parents and teachers have expectations that students seek to fulfil. Unfortunately, the stress negatively affects their performance.

Failure is a disappointment for students. However, knowing they let their teachers and parents down makes the situation worse.

Tuition helps students realize that failure is a natural part of life. However, they must get up, dust themselves, and try again. Only this time, they must put in more effort to compensate for past failures.

They have a chance to redeem themselves, and attending tuition can help them learn their weaknesses and work on them. Experts believe that primary school tuition gives students at least six months of further progress. This gives students a clear advantage.

Improves Socio-emotional Skills

Socio-emotional skills are integral in child development. They include a child’s ability to understand, express, and manage emotions. The child also learns how to develop meaningful relationships.

When a child finds out they’ll be attending tuition, especially at the primary school level, fear of the unknown is a normal reaction. The thought of meeting strangers away from their school setting is terrifying. However, after they face this fear, they build new friendships, and this builds their confidence.

One-on-One Sessions

Students rarely have one-on-one sessions with teachers in their regular classes. Unless they seek the teachers out, the risk of falling behind or ignoring the challenges they face is high. Primary school tuition offers students an opportunity to have personalized attention and guidance.

Tutors give individual attention to students, addressing their challenges in one-on-one interactions.

Creative Learning Techniques

Unfortunately, because of limited time and the high student-teacher ratio, regular classes cannot use tailored learning based on a child’s ability to understand. Conversely, tutors can be as creative as they want, especially when teaching in groups or one-on-one classes.

Primary school tuition provides your child with the ideal learning environment. Using play, puzzles, and games in learning allows your child to relax, have fun, and learn simultaneously.

These are some of the benefits of tuition. In Singapore, parents have seen their children grow and succeed thanks to tuition.
