Hi Mdm Sng,
i'm zed (not my real name of course), 20 this year, serving NS. just to offer my 0 cents of opinion and hope you might get back to me and we can become friends ^^
i got your "contact" from "http://heavenly-sword.blogspot.com/2005/12/too-much-tuition-is-bad-for-your-brain.html" when you typed a comment to HS. (by the way, are you from Nanhua Secondary School?) as for the comment part, i totally agree with you.. i've been rely on my teachers since day 1 of my secondary school. (well, in primary, i don't have that much of a decision making power) ironically i became a tutor when i was sec 3 and still "expanding" until now. personally, i love teaching (but no way i'm going to teach in MOE schools) i love the kids and i find the tuition fees way too high, if a kid were to get tuition for every subject, they can go to independent schools 10 times over.
i do tell my students how to study without a tutor like how i did, but the number 1 reason they give me is "i don't understand what the teacher is talking about" i guess.. it can't be helped as teaching is a career which requires full of passion, luckily for me, 50% of my teachers in secondary school and 100% of my teachers in JC are passionate. but unluckily for most of my friends, they're stuck with teachers who're there for the stability and money. But of course, the situation is made worse when opportunistic people jump on the tuition wagon.
call me over-ambitious, but i hope to establish a link between passionate teachers and passionate tutors (sorry for the blatant self-promotion but. i think i'm one of them) to initially bring down the price of private tuition and finally eliminate the need for private tuition. =) hope you might contact me at dex_cch@hotmail.com (maybe i'll consider bugging you if you don't reply ^^ just kidding.)
pardon my atrocious English but.. i teach Math and Science (except Biology)
oops. i can't edit a comment can i? sorry, typo error.. should have been "evolve private tuition" and not eliminate. haha
Hi Zed,
Thank you for dropping by my blog.
I'm still trying to figure out what exactly you wish to discuss with me.
How does establishing "a link between passionate teacher and passionate tutors" bring down the price of private tuition and "evolve private tuition"?? Are you hoping that passionate teachers/tutors work for measly amount?
I'm not from NanHua Sec (I'm curious how you came to this premise?). A look at some of my students' blogs would instantly reveal where I'm teaching at.
Anyway, do drop by often. Of course we can become friends..:)
well.. it's a project my friends and i are trying to hatch to get it going. the basic logic is to combine economics of scale but keeping the quality at the same time
oh.. because one of my students went to Muar for Geog trip as well, on the same day
p.s. i wasn't trying to discuss anything.. just offering my 0 cents worth of opinions for the 1st part. =) as for the second part, it's just a castle in the air. =) (and hence, "trying to" haha)
