Well, here are the normal market rates in SG:Originally posted by rainee:hmm so nice...
i m wondering if i work a full time personal tuition teacher, how much wud i be able to earn?
Primary: $15-$20/hour.
Secondary: $20-$30/hour.
JC: $25- $35/hour.
The pay does seem enticing, but that's assuming that you can get enough tuition students. I've heard of a friend who has a friend who's a Masters grad. He works every day as a full-time private tutor and really makes a real lot of money.
As for me, I'm perfectly content with just teaching my younger cousins for my pocket money. I would love to take on one more assignment, though it's pretty hard for guys to get assignments when so many parents want female tutors.

to become a full time personal tutor do u need any teaching permit? -
oops sorry,
forgot e criteria, they wanted females. -
Nope. It's pretty informal. I get paid in cash.Originally posted by rainee:hmm...i dunno...teaching in a classroom has its fun and advantages, teaching personal student oso has its own advantages...

As you can see, this leaves the system open to abuse.... there are too many unscrupulous private tutors out there who can't study to save their own lives, let alone teach. -
yea trueOriginally posted by fudgester:Nope. It's pretty informal. I get paid in cash.

well for that i might consider for a pretty jc girl but for primary school no thx.Originally posted by fudgester:How about cross-dressing?
and seriously from the description the parents is prob overbearing and overly-demanding -
I can understand that parents simply want the best for their children, but sometimes they're just asking for the sky.Originally posted by hisoka:well for that i might consider for a pretty jc girl but for primary school no thx.

I've seen tuition ads that go '... must be current school teacher, female, Masters grad, many years' experience, willing to give extra lessons at short notice....'
You get the drift.

female tuition teachers huh~
perhaps they are more 'understanding' and 'softer' when explaining concepts or theories (think motherly, nurturing instincts females have). -
Thinking about it..
when i was younger, there was a male tuition teacher at the centre i go to. He was.....sissified aka effeminate. The older male students were making obscene gestures towards his bum when his back was turned. -
I suppose that is the perception that parents have with regards to female tutors.Originally posted by alexkusu:female tuition teachers huh~

But still, it is by no means a fair measure of competence. My two cousins had female tutors before who fared poorly when it comes to teaching them Maths and Science. They complained that their tutors didn't seem to know what they were doing half the time.
By considering females only, those parents have pretty much limited the selection of tutors that their kids can have. I can agree that some male tutors are a bunch of bozos who can't teach to save their own lives, but it's an utter fallacy to think that all female tutors are good at teaching, too.
No disrespect meant to rainee in particular and female tutors in general. I can see that rainee is a highly dedicated and capable teacher, and I'm sure the same goes to most female tutors.
All I'm saying is this: parents who discriminate against male tutors are really doing their children a disservice. I can still understand that parents of female students would prefer female tutors, but certainly, it can't be that >90% of all students who need tuition are female. -
yealor
the male species are getting very capable these days hor. -
How is it like being a tutor?
I never officially tutored,..only mentored.
I need to get out my shell more

My first tuition student:Originally posted by alexkusu:How is it like being a tutor?

He failed his Sec 2 streaming exams. He was given a choice between repeating Sec 2 Exp or going to Sec 3 N(A). He chose the latter.
The way I see it, that was a really bad choice. Why? His foundation was absolutely terrible. When I first took him on at the beginning at Sec 3, he couldn't even solve the following simple linear equation:
x + 2 = 0.
Dude... an average Sec 1 kid can work that out in his head while blindfolded and tied up in a chair. His foundation was so weak that I had to keep falling back to give him a crash course in Lower Sec concepts.
In the end, I was unceremoniously fired for not being able to deliver the goods. Yeah, right. Blame the tutor when the kid's foundation is terrible.
I'll talk more about my other students when I have the time - time for dinner now. -
what are you having for dinner?
just curious...
what types of halal foods..
anyway, enjoy ur dinner

yea, I understand wat u mean. What I am currently experiencing now as well. They expect me to make the students get good grades when they can't even understand some basic words in English, some can't even form a sentence properlyOriginally posted by fudgester:My first tuition student:
