Wanting to start giving tuition


Recommended Posts

  • SRC Member

Hey there, guys..

Well recently due to service injury I've been posted to an 8 - 5 vocation. Still getting used to the new job and yes I do feel happy in a stay out unit (but the injuries I went thru are long term ones and I really suffered pain during the peak season of my injuries).

But beyond that old history, thing is that now since I'm in a stay out unit, I was thinking of giving tuition and making some extra cash along the way. I'm an A level student with a place in our local university. I believe I should be able to handle primary school english.

The main problem with me is that I have no idea where and how to get students. I don't have alot of friends and connections; and I wouldn't like to enlist the help of, or teach family members or family friends in fear of disputes and things going wrong.

I was thinking that the best way would be to work for tuition agencies and let them assign me students but I am not sure which agencies I may go to.

Sigh.. It sure sucks to grow up and have responsibilities but I guess I really gotta ask for help from the helpful members of SRC. Hope some of you here would have ideas on how I may go about giving tuition and making extra cash along the way. Thanks guys

(1) Tution Agency - check out Newspaper tt need tutor

(2) Self-promo - print-out the subject u r tutoring + $ + your contact and find a "good" location to make your svc known.

tink option (1) easier though need to pay some % to the agent.

bro.. seriously... if it's possible, do not EVER, teach pri sch english unless u have a student who is already familiar with the language.. i gave tuition to a couple of p1,p2 and p3 boys a couple of years ago and it was the most stressful period of my life! :lol::lol:

imagine teaching some1 the alphabet at p1! these boys i taught do not even have the basic command of english.. u need the right materials if not.. :ph34r: luckily for me my mom's a pri sch tch(who has access to teaching materials) so i was saved from the burden la actually.. :heh:

maybe u can try teaching science... the EASIEST pri sch subject to teach actually.. p5 and p6 maths is simple.. BUT they are not taught logarithms, complex algebra and all that stuff that we usually use to solve those kinda questions so it'll also be quite hard.. for me, i went thru the agency, 1st mth salary they took half 2nd mth salary they took 25%... :peace:

The world is such a wicked place,war btween the human race. People work to earn their bread,while across the sea they're counting dead

teach maths, science, etc since primary is easy. juz dun teach language!!! hard to teach and show results to the parents.

go to tuition agency. they normally charge u 1/2 month as referral fee. refund if student quits before 3 months. u only pay them after first month when u get paid.

Hey thanks all you guys for your replies.. but one question I've been thinking as I read thru the replies is... 'So are there any specific tuition agencies that any of you would recommend?' Those that take less of my money or good and flexible to work with? Thanks

And about teaching english.. I kinda feel that I am only good enough to teach english because I'm not familiar with today's primary school syllabus of science and math (specific methods they need to use to solve a word problem, topics in science in diff seasons) etc.. scared teach wrong thing.. That's why.. But you guys really got a point about the difficulties of teaching languages, though..

just be frank, please do not see giving tuition as a form of extra cash .. lots of undergrads see it that way and once they face a shortage of time they just walk away ... leaving the helpless students on their own esp when their CA/SA are around the corner.

dun flame me as i am just being honest .... please ensure that you are willing to commit.
