As tuition is a likely to be a year-long commitment for both the students and also the tutors, it would be rather unfair to start without getting to know each other! And there is only so much information that can be gleaned from a phone call. We have enough of urban horror stories, e.g. of tutors with multiple body piercings, of students that do not understand the language of delivery, etc.
Thus, in order to eliminate all these, CRAM TUTORS have an Initial Discovery Session, where the tutors and prospective students come together to understand each other better. And in order for this session to be even more effective, there is of course some preparation needed.
FOR STUDENTS TO PREPARE:
Report Slips – One of the key methods to improving is knowing ourselves. It would allow us to set out goals and a better course of action for the students.
Current practices (in the form of reference books, assessments, TYS, school homework, etc.) Many parents have complained that with each tutor, there is a new onslaught of books to pay for. Beating the meritocracy system in Singapore is not costly. There is only one key ingredient, HARDWORK. We believe in working with what we have on hand, and only topping-up when necessary.
1.5 Hours of your Time – Any form of education with parental support is a potent mix. We would be going through some practices with the prospective student and simultaneously trying to understand better the situation by talking to the parent as well.
And here’s the best part. This Initial Discovery Session is FREE OF CHARGE! It is a session for us to understand each other better and hopefully start a rewarding relationship.
