All About Finding & Evaluating Tuition Centres/Agencies
-
Hi everyone, i m new in Kiasu parents forum. I m a current school teacher and i am resigning soon to start my own tuition centre.
I hope to get feedback from parents here on what parents first look for before they shortlist a tuition centre for their kids?
(Quality of teaching?/Quality of workksheets?/Fee? etc...)
Thanks for your contribution -
1. location of centre (accessibility)
2. brand/referral equates track-records
3. quality of materials
4. quality of teaching
5. fees
6. timing
7. student/teacher ratio
8. how teachers/admin staff interacts/works with students/parents
9. flexibility (arrangement of make-up classes etc)
10. environment of class (is classroom too small; stuffy etc; is it conducive)
did i miss out anything?

12. How can the center improve specific weakness -
Fees played an important role in terms of setting expectation.
If a center is charging high fees, parents would expect improvement, fast :evil: -
What are the typical fees that tuition centres charge?
I guess it somewhat depends on the teacher/student ratio?
How much is considered expensive? -
Thank you for all your valuable feedback.
If the centre were to employ only MOE trained and qualified teachers to teach with a small class room size of NOT MORE than 10 pupils per class and the teaching materials used are from a reputable publisher.
Do you think the following fees charged are reasonable?
P1-P2 - $80-$90 per subject
P3-P4 - $$90-$95 per cubject
P5-P6 - $95-$100 per subject -

Just curious, what do you mean by reputable publisher?
Meaning books are available in popular? -
