Q: What is the usual group size for group tuition?
A: Small group of 1-2 students.I group students according to their school level and language standard.Unlike other tutors or tuition centres, I am aware that each child have different areas of weakness and thus needs to be put in the correct group of students during lesson.i am even willing to go the extra mile to teach 1-to-1 if you feel that the learning environment best suit your child. At the end of the day we are concerned of maximising the effectiveness in every lesson,and to open up their hearts so that they can pour out their feelings to me whenever they are troubled.For I am not just a tutor teaching Chinese but friend that wants to get involved especially in the lives of the youth .
Q: How long do I expect my child to improve after attending lessons?
A: At least one year.A common misconception would be 3-6 months.But we need a period of 1 year for the change of attitude in the student to take effect in his/her results. But the time could be quickened if the child is hardworking and show the equal desire to get results
Q: What are the timings and locations for lessons?
A: Weekdays:8am -10am(1.5h) at your place(P1-5 afternoon session students), 2.30pm- 9.30pm at your place or to my place depending on the slots
