The truth of the matter is, truly capable teachers with good expertise and skills do not give home tuition. They usually set up tuition centres to reach out to more students. Plus, these teachers are so sought-after that they do not have enough time to privately tutor each student. A google search for Super Tutors will reveal that none of them offer one-to-one tuition.
Just think about this:
If individual tuition or those in small groups are really the most effective, then why do people still pay to squeeze into their classes? Why are these educators so successful in reaching out to so many people? The answer is simple – they are able to communicate effectively to larger audiences without compromising on quality. By demand, the best tutors in the industry will always be conducting larger group tuition, just like how the best restaurants are expected to be full house and the best chicken rice stall to have a long queue. If a tutor claims to specialise in one-to-one or small group tuition, it is simply a nice way to conceal the lack of demand for his/her service. Anyone with the demand and expertise will definitely try to scale up. Hence, engaging private tutors may not necessarily be the best option. We have proven this to be true because many of the students who signed up with Making Sense had unsuccessful one-to-one tuition.
Through experience, it is not the class size, but the delivery and the precision of the lecturer that really matters. Have you ever had different lecturers in the same lecture group? I am sure you have, and your experience tells you that good lecturers are clear and able to link up concepts effortlessly while poor lecturers speak all over the place. Really good lecturers can be effective even to larger groups. Thousands of our ex-students can easily justify this claim.
Home tuition has the obvious advantage of convenience and individual attention given by the tutor. However, it is unlikely for home tutors to invest time to develop quality materials that give students the competitive advantage. Most home tuitions are simply consultations, where the student consults the tutor based on materials provided by the school. Needless to say, home tuition is costly. Good home tutors typically charge between $60 – $140 per hour. ($1120 per month!). Paying steep prices without receiving quality materials and expert guidance does not sound very wise.
In a group setting, the main drawbacks will be the need to travel and the tutor having to coach other students in the same class. However, only good tuition in class setting will be able to provide excellent materials that give students the extra edge. Having other students in the same class will also translate to lower costs for the parents. In addition, the best tutors are competent enough to be effective even to larger audiences. Getting students interested, capturing their attention and making them learn well is an art that only the very best tutors can execute to perfection. Here at Making Sense, we strive to be out of the ordinary and offer you the best combination you can possibly ask for – the premium service of excellent coaching and materials plus the added bonus of unlimited one-to-one consultations, all these at a very reasonable fee of $400 per month.
