LOOKING FOR QUALIFIED CHINESE TUTORS FOR CHINESE TUITION IN SINGAPORE?
The Chinese language(known as Mandarin) is one of the most popular languages in Singapore and it is offered as a subject in Kindergarten, primary school, secondary school and Junior college. While most people consider the language as being complex, getting a good Chinese tutor to engage your child in Chinese tuition at a tender age would help to improve your child’s proficiency level greatly.
At Nanyang Chinese tuition agency, we have a team of professional Chinese tutors that have years of experience in teaching students how to master their mother tongue and prepare them to ace their exams in PSLE, O level and A level.
Presently in Singapore, the English language is mostly used in schools, workplace and even most homes. This has caused a decline in the use of the mother tongue and it is affecting the newer generation. Many children of Chinese descent now struggle to communicate in Chinese because much attention is not paid to it. Apart from the fact that these children struggle to communicate in their mother tongue, it also affects their overall grade in school because they must offer the Chinese language as a subject.
To put an end to this anomaly, parents need to get a reputable Chinese tuition teacher to engage their children in Chinese tuition. The next question most parents are faced with is whether to enroll their children in a Chinese tuition centre where children learn in groups or get a private Chinese tutor for one-to-one private Chinese tuition. This takes us to the next heading.
PRIVATE CHINESE TUITION VS. CHINESE TUITION CENTRE
Now, as a parent, you have seen the need for your child to learn the Chinese language and have decided to enroll your child for good Chinese tuition. Between getting private Chinese tutors for one-to-one lessons and using a tuition centre where children learn in groups, which is better? The comparison below will help you see reasons as to why you should go for a private Chinese teacher for your child.
Effective Learning
Since attending a tuition centre means a student will learn with other students, this may not be the best way to master the Chinese language quickly. In a group class, some students find it pretty difficult to interact with their teachers and some even get distracted by their friends. Also, since the IQ of students are not the same, it may be tough for a teacher in a tuition centre to carry all the students along. However, with home private Chinese tutors, a student will be free to interact with his/her teacher and will freely ask questions whenever there is a need for clarification. Also, there won’t be any form of distraction because it is a one-to-one kind of learning. Generally, it is easier to build a student-teacher relationship when learning through a private teacher than what you get in a group class.
Comfort And Convenience
Enrolling in a tuition centre means that a student will have to go to the centre for his/her lessons. At first, this may not look too stressful, but over time, it will begin to tell on the student and he/she may even get discouraged of going to the centre. Also, the tuition centre will be in charge of setting the lesson timetable for students that enroll with them. This is not so if a student chooses to use a private Chinese tutor for home tuition.
With a private Chinese tuition teacher, tutoring is done in a more comfortable and relaxed way. The student gets to learn from home which means there won’t be any need of commuting to a tuition centre, and the flexibility of schedule is another important reason to consider getting private tutors from a home tuition agency. A good Chinese teacher would want to work together with his/her student to choose a teaching time that will be comfortable for both parties.
Meeting Your Goals
The primary goal of a private tuition agency is to see that any student excels in his/her quest of learning a subject. Since learning the Chinese language requires patience and motivation, a good Chinese tutor will take his time to teach a student until there is a significant improvement. While this is the wish of tutors in a tuition centre, a group teacher may not be patient enough to carry every student along. So, if a student is not a fast learner, coping in a group lesson would be a huge challenge and he may be discouraged to stop the class after some time.
Now that we have seen that using private Chinese tutors for Chinese home tuition tends to be a better way to learn, the next question is where to find a reputable Chinese tuition agency in Singapore. A good tuition agency should have a team of professional Chinese tutors that are capable teaching kindergarten, primary school, secondary school and junior college students and preparing them for their exams.
